The Convenience Trap: People who only love you when you're easy
Real connection isn't a sunny-day arrangement. Anyone can stand by you when life is easy and you have energy to give. The true test of a relationship—whether it’s friendship, romance, or family—is how someone shows up when you are broken.

You were their source of entertainment or validation, but you were never their priority. Recognizing this doesn't make you bitter—it makes you discerning.
