MOST PROBLEMATIC VIOLATIONS IN FRIENDSHIPS

Friendships can be deeply fulfilling, but they can also suffer from problematic behaviors that strain relationships. Common issues include jealousy or criticism of other relationships, breaking confidences, public criticism, and a lack of emotional support. Understanding personal and situational baggage, such as past relationships and cultural expectations, is vital for healthy interactions. Building strong bonds requires mutual respect, support, and affection, ensuring each friend's needs are met while recognizing complementary or symmetrical dynamics in the relationship.
