# Hello Learners Community 😍💕.
Its not something that is just new but a thing many of us has experienced in one way or the other. Some friendship can be rewarding while some seems so toxic. And its not that we can not stay on our own without people or around others, but because sometimes its good we have people we are close to called friends.
But in situations where some people tend to hurt you, offend you or try to take you for granted, then greeting has exceeded the elbows like our grandfathers use to say. Or in situations where it appears you are the only one looking out for others most times without those you look out for valuing the efforts and time, I can not hesitate to retrieve into my shell 🐚 without wasting time.
Ghosting is what I love ❤️ doing without even feeling any slightest guilt once I have the opportunity. When I have watched someone from time to time and has seen that I can not condone the person any longer, then the next thing is to ghost the person. And at this level , I must have readily concluded that am not to be taken for granted especially where I felt I did tried to put in my best. At this point in time, my energy is set once I have been provoked.
I believe the purpose of friendship is to always be there for others at any point in time. And any point in time means in good times and in bad times, but many will see you as a friend when the going is good or when they are getting something from you. The reverse will always be the case once the days becomes blue or the chips goes down. These are the lifestyles many choose to live. Although I could say I have come across some good friends and others not people you will want to keep for a longer time, so it is better you you don’t waste your time.
And talking about ghosting, its not just only about friends but also about some family members. I have ghosted some family members because as I was writing ✍️ this prompt, the memories gradually keep returning to me. The issue with people is trying to be funny when they see that you are at a cross road and needed help. But instead of helping you out, they will decide to watch you sink more into your problems pretending they are not in the position while visibly they know what they are doing. These are situations I don’t joke with. So all I will do is to suddenly stoped talking to the person to avoid more hurt 😔 and concentrate to look for other ways to settle my problems.
However, I have also been able to help out some friends and family in any little way I could, but some will believe you have but does not want to help them solve all their problems. I feel this is not right because everyone human being has one or two needs even if they are millionaires. So in cases like this I try to stay away from such people. We can never please everyone that comes our way especially knowing that humans are insatiable.
