I’m in such a weird spot. This girl I’ve known half my life turned out to be the most jealous toxic friend I’ve ever had. And now she’s trying to put the whole blame on me after I’ve cut her off and she’s telling people I abandoned her. There was nothing to abandon. We were never truly friends.
People "opening up to you" is not the same as "connecting with you", and as you said, a connection is not the same or as good as a bond. Learned that the hard way.
Mercedes B The story of my life! Being that ride or die friend and never having even an iota of that returned. So I make a conscious decision not to be that for these females until they try to be that for me and so far, not a single female has even tried. #SistersDontSupportSisters
I used to be so nice to ppl because I wanted to be friends with them. I was the type of person that would never say no to anyone. They used and abused me so badly especially in college. The truth is ppl don't want you to be too nice to them. They will look down on you, treat you like a doormat, laugh at you and leave you. I learned the hard way. I'm a really caring person and it's hard for me to say no but I've really learn that it's okay to say no.
Ive just cut off a 8 year friendship with 4 girls since they’ve just been having secret group chats without me and for months talked shit about me, not seeing their wrongs if something hurt me and wouldn’t say sorry. I confronted them with how I felt but they still take me as a joke of the group and don’t respect me with how I feel even though I’ve helped them with anything possible. It hurts knowing I’ve had to cut them off since I knew them for so long but I’m sure it’ll get better now their gone out of my life. Thank you for the video it’s helped me a lot ❤️
Same except this girl was more of an acquaintance and only in my life because she is friends with my close friends, i called her out and she just laughs and acts childish its so annoying🙄
I got rid of all those who are not happy for my success, but are always around to “talk” about things that don’t go right for me. Because, they are Misery and they need company.
You are so right! I had friends who wanted to talk about my relationship issues but I am an author of three books. No one talks about that though. But they talk about what goes wrong for me.
@@AriaPringle9053 It's crazy how people are comfortable being friends with you until you try to go after your goals. I've heard oh you think you're better than. I'm like...not at all! I'm so humble. Or they won't support me or share a post on Facebook about my books. But friends ALWAYS tell me when good things happen for them. But when it comes to me... it's "oh that's good.". That's it. I don't get it.
Don't overestimate your importance to other people. I've been so good to people who didn't deserve me, people who backstabbed and trampled over me in a split second. I no longer concern myself with such people... To get my love, time, attention, energy and loyalty, you will have to work for it, if you can't be bothered, I can't be bothered about you. Trust that I will use that love up on myself and relish every drop!
I’m the type of person that cherishes my friendships. I’ve been hurt a lot by friends and I’m trying going forward to not share my business so quickly because I feel that is the first thing where people can take advantage of you. They figure out your weaknesses.
this made me cry.. realizing what type of friend i am.. literally the one that keeps tries in friendships and i don't receive much back. It gets so lonely.. but I will work on making new friendships in different areas of my interests.
Had a "friend" for 13yrs she invited me to the full wedding but I must admit I thought she would ask me to be a bridesmaid ... she always called me one of her best friends... deep down I knew it wasn't true but the moment I started confiding in her as a best friend I realized it wasn't a true friendship. And yes, it hurt more than I could have imagined. I think I was more frustrated at the fact that I allowed her to define our friendship instead of sticking to my initial gut feeling... I drove 5hrs to her wedding, brought her a nice gift and honestly, I'm done... farewell...I wish her the best... we live and we learn.
Yeah I have someone like that in my life. She says we are best friends but I never felt that way. I never felt that we bonded or connected in that way. I feel like she just takes and takes. I’m not gonna ask for anything tho. My efforts are not appreciated I’ll take them somewhere else.
Yep I’m realising with age in adult hood good genuine friends are almost impossible to find...my closest and most trustworthy friends are from childhood
*"what You give is not always what You get back."* shocking and hard truth for me, since all my life I tried to give gifts, flatter people, drive my friends home, etc. i feel so broken...
shadow losty I drove 16 hours to see my “best friend” and took her to an aquarium, chick-fil-a for the first time, hotels, and yet, once I took a 2 hour flight back home... it went straight back to “your fake” and “your too annoying”. Love it
This vid made me cry. I broke up with my "closest" friend 2 weeks ago. For me she was my "ride or die" friend. I was there for her every night and day...but slowly I realized that she was really using me as an emotianal trash can and took a lot of my energy and at the end she insulted me like hell...that was a hard lesson. I always get the really hard ones but everything is good for a reason and I am always positive. i wish her all the best because my heart is pure and i am glad I slowly get my energy back for myself....@Breeny Lee : you are great, keep up what you are doing, thanks for sharing these words...
Good on you love! I did the same thing 5 years ago with my childhood best friend of 8 years. Trust me when i say this: your life will be so much better now. You wont be putting all of your energy in to one person anymore and you wont be drained constantly. X
I think you need to feel good about yourself, who will see the beauty in you as a person will see it no matter how "leveled up" someone is or not, have a good day.
*Good LORD WHY do your videos always hit me at the most appropriate times* 😂😂😂😂 is it just me or does anyone else find this with Breeny's videos????? 🤔
I have ONE real bestfriend. Been friends since middle school, that's 17yrs of friendship & one friend is more than 10 friends. It's not the quantity of friends but the QUALITY of friendship
I wanna send this to all my toxic friends and then block them so bad... but then I remember i have to see them every day lmao Edit: it’s been a year and i dont talk to them anymore yaaaaaay
@@renewyourmind1815 my mom died almost 9 years ago on july 4 and I feel your pain and God and Jesus is your best friend and I'll be your friend if u like cuz I been hurt by too many fake ones as well
I love this topic. I cut off a friend of 15years (it’s been a year) and I don’t regret it. Friendships need to be taken as serious as a relationship with a man/ women to be honest. If you take the person for granted don’t act surprise when the person finally decides that’s the end of the friendship.
Thank you! Some people don't realise that friendships need nurturing too! Cutting off a close friend is extremely painful but when it's gotta be done it's gotta be done.
I had a “friend” of 14+ years tell me hypothetically she would end a friendship over a crush on her friends man. Like most people I asked said they would distant themselves from the man but not throw years long friendship so quickly. I wonder if it’s because the guy is worth ending the friendship for. Like she would pursue him over her long term friend?
I think You need to at some point. You have to deal with fake friends so you can have peace of mind. So long as you know where you stand with that person and you don't expect more than what is actually offered then you guys will get along very Well
OMG the wedding thing happened to me too! Lifelong friends that I grew up with did not have me at their weddings and a friend that I've known for 1 year invited me to their wedding!!! And it was gorgeous!!
Same! A friend who was my son’s godmother, my maid of honor and her fiancé as the man of honor, wouldn’t even have me as a bridesmaid after I told her I wouldn’t have my husband sitting in the crowd while I walked with another guy as the man of honor. I said I would be a bridesmaid with my husband, and then she just cut me out of the whole wedding! After she replaced me as the maid of honor I was hoping she’d asked me to a be a bridesmaid at least, even when her new maid of honor turned her back on her, all she could say was that “it bit her in the ass” like the whole time I wasn’t her closest (or only) friend, and she didn’t dump all her life problems and wedding planning on me. I stopped talking to her.
It’s sad that I thought that my “friends” from elementary were type 3 friends but they definitely showed their true colors after I glowed up a bit and started to elevate I’m my education/career. They turned into type 1 friends then fizzled out into type 0 friends. They were very toxic and they mad me feel terrible hanging out with them and I just couldn’t do it anymore... taking advantage of my kindness, talking about me behind my back, and everything else you could think of. I’m glad I came across this video because I currently don’t have any friends anymore. It’s tough. Especially when you try to be a nice person. Hopefully soon when I move back to Virginia I’ll make some new true friends...
Swear I needed to hear this I've been isolating myself because I'm tired of being betrayed but people kept telling me I must dwell in hurt and try to friendly but tbh its hard
I am a woman who truly appreciate and value friendships. I had to step back and take the back seat to alot of stuff... The same women, I've lost jobs over, would do anything for, are the same women who wouldn't lift a finger for me. And I was so blind because I was so niieve and in love with them. When I hit rock bottom and went through something so deep ... Everyone disappeared. And it gave me enough time to reflect. I realized they kept me around for what I can do for them. I was so in love with my friends. But I've learned so much. I stop answering calls, text, and for a moment, actually started to feel bad for stepping back. Like I had to pray on it. I was so used to being so loyal so available. .I'm talking childhood friends. But I dont feel bad now.. If we cant add value to one another. I'm out! Also I was tired of drama and negativity. I want to grow and become better version of myself. I wasnt growing. Nothing. I was extending myself constantly. I was trying to keep up, be at evey invite, anything major happening, whether good or bad, i was right there, trying to prove I'm that ride or die friend..the energy was not returned ...now it's like. .Sorry not sorry. But No love lost. I felt used and not appreciated. Maybe it's just my season to truly focus on myself....
Good that you have realised how toxic these friendships were for you and have decided to take a step back. Carry on being the ride or die to the right people. In time you will notice exactly who those people are. Cutting the toxic people out gives room for the positive, ride or dies to come into your life. Hope this helped.
Focus on loving yourself and be selective about who you choose to give your time to. Time is valuable sometimes I feel like sending people invoices for wasting my time....think about it
wow i totally understand and respect your decisions... and trust me it is not bad to be 'alone'for a while, with your personality i am sure you will find great real friends soon enough!!!
i always help my ''friends'' with their mental health or problems, like... i wanna be that helpfull friend all the time every minute off the day. But when it comes to my problems and i tell them mine they will answer with: ''rip'' or: ''thats not fun'' LIKE I CANT SURVIVE WITHOUT ANYONE HELPING ME ahg :(
I am currently in this situation and have always been the person to vent to. I try to help them all the time. Then they went behind my back and gossiped about me. Please give me advice
Agreed. I have people who take my empathy and emotional support for granted. From the day on, I will DENY them my support. They can support themselves somewhere else. Bye.
Omg nail on the head. I literally don’t have any friends anymore. I use to have 5 close friends. Now, I just don’t trust letting anyone get close to me in that close friend way anymore and this feeling sucks. It’s hard to make new good friends as adult. I do stuff alone alllll the time.
when you said “don’t deny the feeling of betrayal” I really needed to hear that thank you so much! Whenever I try to express my feelings my friends act like I’m dramatic and annoying and play the victim it hurts really bad and I don’t know how to fix it without denying my hurt feelings even though they’re not taking mine into consideration
Yaaaasss , you said it all !! Once again you come up with a strong topic . “ Sometimes it’s just God showing you who they really are and who needs to be part of your life and who needs to go” . Not everyone had meant to be part to be in your life forever , some are just meant for us to learn and move on.
I'm more of an introvert. It feels like people aren't really drawn to me, even tho I'm trying to socialize. But I notice right away that they aren't "impressed" by what I say, so I end up feeling weird :/
I've been through that as well .. Friends can make you change your behaviour. It's even painful when they treat you differently in front of people. I personally never felt loved by my friends and that's just it. The pain built the "I don't care " mood in me. It made me learn how to enjoy my own company and mind my business.
I've always tried to hold on to friendships but once I see how girls be moving these days...I chill and monitor the situation because I am the CEO of my life and as the CEO I have to make executive decisions and cut myself from the situation.
The girl you described in the distant friendship sounded exactly like me. However, I cared for those friends and wanted the best for them. I just wasn't able to feel close and open up to them for whatever reason.
I care too much, not realizing that people can be cruel; and not everyone has your best interest. This is the most real video I've ever heard. WOW. You hit the nail on the head. I needed to hear this story about the wedding. My best friend got MARRIED and didn't tell me until after the wedding. OMG, I was hurt, couldn't believe it.Told me it was PRIVATE, and nobody knew. I found out different months later. I feel better after hearing this. Thank you.
@Veronica Kambere Hahahaha I have no friends and I'm not lucky because everyone hates me and my bestfriend who used to comfort me left me for the mean girls
I can’t take those people who have secret issues with you and act funny. If something bothered me that much and you’re my friend then I’m saying something. Let’s have a discussion
What if it’s a friend who if you tell them how they’ve mistreated you , they have an immediate temper tantrum or threaten suicide? So you hold in how you feel because you’re afraid of them lol
this is unacceptable! my “friend” would hold grudges against me that i didn’t even KNOW about or when it started... and then out of the blue come to ME and say “we have beef” ... sis, WHERE???
I used to be a friendly type of person but people respect u if ur not if ur friendly they think ur a fool or use what u tell them against u and laugh at u behind ur back sometimes to your face. Nothing can surprise me when it comes to people family included. I surround my self with people who I can learn from or who can help me move forward in my life and I also help them too in return im happy with that. I surround my self with people who can uplift me and encourage me. When u start to move with more positive people positive things also start happening.
I’m a guy btw and I left my “friends” just bc they used me for money,popularity and played with my feelings,also bullied me,they acted nice around the teacher but really they would rip up my stuff every time without the teacher looking
Watching some of your old videos and it's crazy how much the wedding story resonates with me and how often it happens these days as I've gotten older. I remember having a good friend/teammate from college, and when she got engaged I was one of the first she told. I couldn't wait for the wedding. A year later, I wake up on a Sunday morning to see on Facebook that she had her wedding that Saturday night beforehand and invited all our friends/teammates except me. And I had to find out on Facebook of all places. I learned that day where I stood in her mind and that apparently our friendship meant a lot more to me than it did to her. You really find out how someone feels about you when their wedding comes around😅
i feel like i share too much too soon, so certain people who were fleeting phases in my life are walking around with information about me and i can't get that back. losing friendships are so painful
Here for this video!! Ever since I started leveling up and becoming serious about what I wanna do with my life, Friends started to disappear! I’m so thankful for God showing me. Ik I’ll be successful in the end and i’ll be rewarded with BETTER people who are worth my time. Good video😘😘
I'm going to say something. My friend and I watch your videos. She lost her mum this year. Your videos are so helpful, she actually cried in the video HOW TO BE FEARLESS because her mum was such a strong woman. She was so close to her, she talked about these topics and this just makes her smile :) thank you so much angel, you don't know how much you help other people
This video really helped me decide what to do with a friend who behaved badly with me, so thank you❤ I tried not to take it personally but I have been hurt so many times in the past that it becomes difficult to give people the benefit of the doubt when they act poorly.
Men have the same problems. I had friends that always talked in school and always outside of school, except without me. After awhile I realized it, so I asked if we should go somewhere and nobody showed up. Eventually they just stopped talking to me so I was just like fuck them. I'm tryna find some new friends now.
I get the whole 3 type of friends thing but we gotta think, if you feel your friend is not investing in your friendship or you can’t get something you want out of them, they maybe just feeling the same way your feeling and I feel like Categorising friends can kind of ease into a fakeness. I wouldn’t want a bunch of different type of friends for different things if you know what I mean. If I have Friends(which is a strong word) we are FRIENDS period. You are either an acquaintance or a friend no more no less. ❤️loved the vid just my thought, really got me thinking
True but what if you are always the one who has to spark things up? #one-sided. Sometimes we hang on to long. That's why communication is the key. And if your friend is toxic they only take. The relationship stays one sided. Sometimes history is history..ppl change over the years. Holding on for the wrong reasons. It's Time to let go and cherish the good times.
"What you give is not always what you get back. " ugh how true this is. Great advice. It's tough because most people feign ignorance or are just that aloof and oblivious they don't see your pain, they don't see how they are hurting you. It's even tougher when it's family. A lot of gems in this s video that really helps me explain this to others and share with people who are going through struggles in their relationships. Keep up the good work.
i stopped believing in the concept of a “ best friend “ there’s a friend and a good/ close friend. i am my own best friend, ik alot of people and a lot of people know me , i just make good memories w them . and if anyone wanna leave i just say “ thank you for stopping by i can’t wait for another better memories “
I have made that mistake many times, not defining what type of relationship it is and expecting more than the relationship is capable of. I love to get deep so not being able to get deep with people I see all the time like co workers or family members has been a challenge for me to accept. But what can I say, I am learning to do that now 🤷🏽♀️
Same here!! I want to get to know people beyond the surface, but not everyone is open like that which I totally get because I'm not expecting anyone to tell me their whole life story and their deepest stuff right off the bat, plus I myself am a pretty private person too. It's hard to find people who will genuinely reciprocate the time and investment in a friendship/relationship; we've all got our own lives going on, but I don't want to just be someone who is of convenience to you when you want to do something or you're bored!
This literally could not have come at a better time. You are a God send Breeny ❤️🙏 I just cut off a old friend, we've been friends since kids, because I really felt toxic to be around her and she wasn't growing me or encouraging me, its been hard to make that decision but I know it's better for me and my soul. I pray I did the right thing and it wasn't out of my own pride.
Noo you did .. I had to do the same thing to someone I was close since middle School. I told her to never contacted me ever again and also I block her . I told her how I felt front of her face , but you did a good thing you protecting yourself. TheirFore She wasn't going growing herself.. may God help find happiness and peace and unity in your life....!!!
Yes.. I'm in support of the Facebook group. Let's do this.. I love you, and thank you for making soooo much sense.. Damb its hard to find true friends in one's life
This video so good, I watched it twice! Lost my best friend of 20 years because she couldn't be bothered to tell me what I done wrong, but in all honesty we grew apart and am at peace with myself. Thanks again for covering honest & relatable topics. You know I have subscribed!
SheSo Styles i feel like that happened with me! we haven’t talked in 2 months over a small misunderstanding but i do feel as if we grew apart and i’ve been more happy not even talking anymore
*PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO FEEL HOW THEY FEEL WITHOUT YOU MAKING IT ABOUT YOURSELF SO DON'T ALWAYS TAKE THINGS PERSONALLY* Looouderrrr for the ones at the back!!!!!
I thought I've hust recently been so betrayed but after hearing your story about a friend who was getting married I realised that literally my situation is just easy peasy and doesn't worth all the negativity that I keep in my heart towards those fake friends. Thank you for sharing, I feel much better after listening to you! But anyway, I'm at this life situation when I have no best friends at all and not even close ones, just some aquanticies to hang out with. Please girls pray for me so God bless me with a good, real, life-long friend 🙏❤️ and let God bless you with the same 🤗
I am so glad that I realised thanks to Breeny that it wasn't just in my head. I've been a class colleague with this girl for 8 years, always having a good laugh whenever we spent time with each other. Ff after highschool, somehow we became closer. Ff aprox 2 years later till this day, I thought she's my best friend and I closed an eye whenever she was gossiping too much thinking I do the same sometimes (but not as bad as she does to be honest) and we all have flaws as humans. I closed an eye whenever she was making faces like she's fussy or disgusted with me, thinking that she still has a pure heart and good intentions. Two weeks ago she told me that she knows it doesn't sound that nice but she would never give a kidney to someone in need, but to her parents only. It made me realise that I was giving much more than she was in general, she has a pure heart and a smart mind, but she's not on the same page with me. She's not mature enough to have open talks, to accept opinions that contradict her, unless I drop it. I realised that if the girl I call a bestie wouldn't be there for me, while I would in the worst situation, then I can't actually count on her.. And what is the point? I became more selfish with my time and now I am thinking only if I want to do what she wants, just like I feel she does. Since then she's less stuck up and we stuck to only having a laugh. She also chose to not visit me where I live in England, even though I offered to pay her the plane ticket to come, but she bought herself one to go to London to someone she didn't speak constantly and in a while. Actions speak louder. I also realised how much I tried to lift her up while she's so insecure and anti social and doesn't even want to work on that, while she pushed me to follow my dreams in a shallow way like almost even a stranger would. And I just switched my attention to people that encourage me to be myself, they inspire me, I have real talks, open talks, without feeling like I have to bite my tongue, I feel more confident and happy that I can count on this people and it shows. They are slightly less warm and fuzzy but they are definitely there whenever I need them to be and yes, I am the same. Thank you this was my TedTalk and I encourage anyone to give up investing in people who don't do the same and honestly, whenever I cut or just stop investing that much in someone, every.single.time someone else appeared in my life out of a sudden - laws of the universe work indeed.
my so called “friends” never care about how I feel when I talk about my feelings. i would tell them that I felt like I was going through rock bottom and that I felt like some of my other friends leave me out of things, or don’t even like me when I’m there. they would just listen and either talk about something else and slide my feelings away or talk shit about that person and later on be the best fucking friends with them. I would talk to my friend who’ve I’ve known the longest about this new person who comes into our group who seems to hate me and only wants to be friend with the “popular kids.” She’d agree with me in that time but in front she’s her best friend and the next thing is. THEY HANG OUT ALL THE TIME. the clout chasing friend, the old time friend, and the fake friend, all hang out together and it’s just like ?? didn’t y’all just BARELY talk shit about each other to ME and then act like nothing happened?? We have five people in our group but out of the five, those three people are all fake to each other and I don’t know how to deal with anything anymore. I can’t even talk to people comfortably anymore or make new friends bc I’m just not comfortable speaking to anyone since I’ve been around these three snakes. I know most people won’t care about this long ass comment lol but if you do help a girl out pls bc I need advice for my emotional mess that I’m growing through.
It’s really hard to cut people out of your life, especially when it’s a childhood friend or someone your really close to. But at a certain point you need to cut them off, you can’t let them around to keep abusing your trust. You need to respect yourself, and your mental health. there could be damage but we don’t realize until things get worse.
Can we call it 'soul surgery' That's series helped me through alot. The group will also help and reach alot of people. Blessing empress may the most high continue to use you xx
I literally want to cry right now !! I was just re-watching your self value video trying to figure out how to handle a friendship and this was just posted thank u 😭😔😘
I’m going through this now with one of my old friends, and I’m kind of teething on whether or not to unfriend her on all social media. This friendship thing can be tricky but honesty is what makes a real true great friend.

That's all facts..and honestly people will be drawn to you.
I’m in such a weird spot. This girl I’ve known half my life turned out to be the most jealous toxic friend I’ve ever had. And now she’s trying to put the whole blame on me after I’ve cut her off and she’s telling people I abandoned her. There was nothing to abandon. We were never truly friends.
Perhaps she feels betrayed thinking you were better friends than you were!
Exact same. It's textbook narc behavior
People "opening up to you" is not the same as "connecting with you", and as you said, a connection is not the same or as good as a bond.
Learned that the hard way.

“What you give is not always what you get back” I had to learn it the hard way 😩
Mercedes B The story of my life! Being that ride or die friend and never having even an iota of that returned. So I make a conscious decision not to be that for these females until they try to be that for me and so far, not a single female has even tried. #SistersDontSupportSisters
Me too! It's sad that people you've been nice to turn around and stab you in the back. All we can do is distance ourselves and move on.
So true, and its exhausting
Me 2
Exactly. Same here!
I used to be so nice to ppl because I wanted to be friends with them. I was the type of person that would never say no to anyone. They used and abused me so badly especially in college. The truth is ppl don't want you to be too nice to them. They will look down on you, treat you like a doormat, laugh at you and leave you. I learned the hard way. I'm a really caring person and it's hard for me to say no but I've really learn that it's okay to say no.

Jackie Omorogbe exactly my problem rn ! I would like more guidance on this,
It happened to me. It really sucks
Jackie Omorogbe omg sameeeee it fucking sucks
I feel like I’ve had so many bad experiences with “best friends” I feel like I can never trust and have another “best friend” again.
I know what you mean.
Same
Same
Do u want to be friends
L C Word!!!
Ive just cut off a 8 year friendship with 4 girls since they’ve just been having secret group chats without me and for months talked shit about me, not seeing their wrongs if something hurt me and wouldn’t say sorry. I confronted them with how I felt but they still take me as a joke of the group and don’t respect me with how I feel even though I’ve helped them with anything possible.
It hurts knowing I’ve had to cut them off since I knew them for so long but I’m sure it’ll get better now their gone out of my life.
Thank you for the video it’s helped me a lot ❤️
Ruby as you should. You don’t need to be friends with people who will go behind your back and talk mad shit.
Well done!👏
Same except this girl was more of an acquaintance and only in my life because she is friends with my close friends, i called her out and she just laughs and acts childish its so annoying🙄
Exactly what happened to me .those ppl are real mean
Honestly dont trust people like that, their real fake and only wants something out of you.
I got rid of all those who are not happy for my success, but are always around to “talk” about things that don’t go right for me. Because, they are Misery and they need company.

You are so right! I had friends who wanted to talk about my relationship issues but I am an author of three books. No one talks about that though. But they talk about what goes wrong for me.

@@AriaPringle9053 It's crazy how people are comfortable being friends with you until you try to go after your goals. I've heard oh you think you're better than. I'm like...not at all! I'm so humble. Or they won't support me or share a post on Facebook about my books. But friends ALWAYS tell me when good things happen for them. But when it comes to me... it's "oh that's good.". That's it. I don't get it.
Exactly why my friendship of over 10 plus years had to get cut off! Jealously is VERY bad!
Don't overestimate your importance to other people. I've been so good to people who didn't deserve me, people who backstabbed and trampled over me in a split second. I no longer concern myself with such people... To get my love, time, attention, energy and loyalty, you will have to work for it, if you can't be bothered, I can't be bothered about you. Trust that I will use that love up on myself and relish every drop!

I’m the type of person that cherishes my friendships. I’ve been hurt a lot by friends and I’m trying going forward to not share my business so quickly because I feel that is the first thing where people can take advantage of you. They figure out your weaknesses.

Literally like the big sister I've never had
this made me cry.. realizing what type of friend i am.. literally the one that keeps tries in friendships and i don't receive much back. It gets so lonely.. but I will work on making new friendships in different areas of my interests.
Had a "friend" for 13yrs she invited me to the full wedding but I must admit I thought she would ask me to be a bridesmaid ... she always called me one of her best friends... deep down I knew it wasn't true but the moment I started confiding in her as a best friend I realized it wasn't a true friendship. And yes, it hurt more than I could have imagined. I think I was more frustrated at the fact that I allowed her to define our friendship instead of sticking to my initial gut feeling... I drove 5hrs to her wedding, brought her a nice gift and honestly, I'm done... farewell...I wish her the best... we live and we learn.
Yeah I have someone like that in my life. She says we are best friends but I never felt that way. I never felt that we bonded or connected in that way. I feel like she just takes and takes. I’m not gonna ask for anything tho. My efforts are not appreciated I’ll take them somewhere else.
I feel as though, in fact, I know, the only relationship that won't hurt you or leave your heart broken is your bond with the Lord.
For real!
You type how people talk and it’s really weird

A Laland it’s absolutely exhausting and draining. I’m getting too old to deal with people’s shit.

*"what You give is not always what You get back."*
shocking and hard truth for me, since all my life I tried to give gifts, flatter people, drive my friends home, etc.
i feel so broken...
shadow losty I drove 16 hours to see my “best friend” and took her to an aquarium, chick-fil-a for the first time, hotels, and yet, once I took a 2 hour flight back home... it went straight back to “your fake” and “your too annoying”. Love it
💯💯💯💯
True !
Your love language is gift giving. Theres nothing wrong with you. Just do it for you, without expecting anything back
This vid made me cry. I broke up with my "closest" friend 2 weeks ago. For me she was my "ride or die" friend. I was there for her every night and day...but slowly I realized that she was really using me as an emotianal trash can and took a lot of my energy and at the end she insulted me like hell...that was a hard lesson. I always get the really hard ones but everything is good for a reason and I am always positive. i wish her all the best because my heart is pure and i am glad I slowly get my energy back for myself....@Breeny Lee : you are great, keep up what you are doing, thanks for sharing these words...
Don’t worry people around the world are here for you!
Same situation just that she left me for the mean girls at the worst time
Lets be friends😣
Good on you love! I did the same thing 5 years ago with my childhood best friend of 8 years. Trust me when i say this: your life will be so much better now. You wont be putting all of your energy in to one person anymore and you wont be drained constantly. X
That was a draining cycle. I’m glad you found freedom.
It's sad that nowadays the word "friends" is synonymous with "acquaintances". Great video Breeny!

I love this topic. I cut off a friend of 15years (it’s been a year) and I don’t regret it. Friendships need to be taken as serious as a relationship with a man/ women to be honest. If you take the person for granted don’t act surprise when the person finally decides that’s the end of the friendship.
Thank you! Some people don't realise that friendships need nurturing too! Cutting off a close friend is extremely painful but when it's gotta be done it's gotta be done.
@@melissam8546 Definitely
Me too. Same! I don't regret it. They were sly bitches gaslighting
I had a “friend” of 14+ years tell me hypothetically she would end a friendship over a crush on her friends man. Like most people I asked said they would distant themselves from the man but not throw years long friendship so quickly. I wonder if it’s because the guy is worth ending the friendship for. Like she would pursue him over her long term friend?
How to deal with fake friends: You don't
This girl calls herself 'my bestfriend' but never gave me a gift, gave me an expired eyeshadow palette + other shady stuff 😩
I think You need to at some point. You have to deal with fake friends so you can have peace of mind. So long as you know where you stand with that person and you don't expect more than what is actually offered then you guys will get along very Well
OMG the wedding thing happened to me too! Lifelong friends that I grew up with did not have me at their weddings and a friend that I've known for 1 year invited me to their wedding!!! And it was gorgeous!!
Same! A friend who was my son’s godmother, my maid of honor and her fiancé as the man of honor, wouldn’t even have me as a bridesmaid after I told her I wouldn’t have my husband sitting in the crowd while I walked with another guy as the man of honor. I said I would be a bridesmaid with my husband, and then she just cut me out of the whole wedding! After she replaced me as the maid of honor I was hoping she’d asked me to a be a bridesmaid at least, even when her new maid of honor turned her back on her, all she could say was that “it bit her in the ass” like the whole time I wasn’t her closest (or only) friend, and she didn’t dump all her life problems and wedding planning on me. I stopped talking to her.
It’s sad that I thought that my “friends” from elementary were type 3 friends but they definitely showed their true colors after I glowed up a bit and started to elevate I’m my education/career. They turned into type 1 friends then fizzled out into type 0 friends. They were very toxic and they mad me feel terrible hanging out with them and I just couldn’t do it anymore... taking advantage of my kindness, talking about me behind my back, and everything else you could think of. I’m glad I came across this video because I currently don’t have any friends anymore. It’s tough. Especially when you try to be a nice person. Hopefully soon when I move back to Virginia I’ll make some new true friends...
Swear I needed to hear this I've been isolating myself because I'm tired of being betrayed but people kept telling me I must dwell in hurt and try to friendly but tbh its hard

“Connections can be broken easily. What is shared can not be unshared” Well-Said!!!!
"I can forgive you, but never forget what you do to my heart."
I am a woman who truly appreciate and value friendships. I had to step back and take the back seat to alot of stuff... The same women, I've lost jobs over, would do anything for, are the same women who wouldn't lift a finger for me. And I was so blind because I was so niieve and in love with them. When I hit rock bottom and went through something so deep ... Everyone disappeared. And it gave me enough time to reflect. I realized they kept me around for what I can do for them. I was so in love with my friends. But I've learned so much. I stop answering calls, text, and for a moment, actually started to feel bad for stepping back. Like I had to pray on it. I was so used to being so loyal so available. .I'm talking childhood friends. But I dont feel bad now.. If we cant add value to one another. I'm out! Also I was tired of drama and negativity. I want to grow and become better version of myself. I wasnt growing. Nothing. I was extending myself constantly. I was trying to keep up, be at evey invite, anything major happening, whether good or bad, i was right there, trying to prove I'm that ride or die friend..the energy was not returned ...now it's like. .Sorry not sorry. But No love lost. I felt used and not appreciated. Maybe it's just my season to truly focus on myself....
Good that you have realised how toxic these friendships were for you and have decided to take a step back. Carry on being the ride or die to the right people. In time you will notice exactly who those people are. Cutting the toxic people out gives room for the positive, ride or dies to come into your life. Hope this helped.
Focus on loving yourself and be selective about who you choose to give your time to. Time is valuable sometimes I feel like sending people invoices for wasting my time....think about it
wow i totally understand and respect your decisions... and trust me it is not bad to be 'alone'for a while, with your personality i am sure you will find great real friends soon enough!!!
We all eventually have enough of having had enough! I've had to cut off people too and put me first. Take care ❤️
A Loc'd World AMAZING THATS GROWTH U HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
i always help my ''friends'' with their mental health or problems, like... i wanna be that helpfull friend all the time every minute off the day. But when it comes to my problems and i tell them mine they will answer with: ''rip'' or: ''thats not fun'' LIKE I CANT SURVIVE WITHOUT ANYONE HELPING ME ahg :(
my close friend is literally same, leave them and grow as a person and youll get the real friends
I had to deal with this couple days ago, I felt like I had no one else to talk about my own problems now. 😔

I am currently in this situation and have always been the person to vent to. I try to help them all the time. Then they went behind my back and gossiped about me. Please give me advice
Agreed. I have people who take my empathy and emotional support for granted. From the day on, I will DENY them my support. They can support themselves somewhere else. Bye.
I’ve learned that I only need 2 true true friends in my life and that’s it

Omg nail on the head. I literally don’t have any friends anymore. I use to have 5 close friends. Now, I just don’t trust letting anyone get close to me in that close friend way anymore and this feeling sucks. It’s hard to make new good friends as adult. I do stuff alone alllll the time.
I can so relate
when you said “don’t deny the feeling of betrayal” I really needed to hear that thank you so much! Whenever I try to express my feelings my friends act like I’m dramatic and annoying and play the victim it hurts really bad and I don’t know how to fix it without denying my hurt feelings even though they’re not taking mine into consideration
Realizing my only true friend is my husband.

about your ex bestfriend who didn’t make u her bridesmaids: remember some people don’t invite you so you don’t steal the attention !!

🎯🎯🎯
I would never tell someone my life story even within months... it’ll take longer than that to know me
Don't even do it. People are so bizarre, they'll love you today and tomorrow they're totally different
I seriously was thinking about this because of the hurt and disappointment lately. Then this came up! Thank you sis. ❣️ you’re God sent.
Advise I was given by a friend is "it's about quality rather than quantity" and that has stuck with me
I've been through that as well .. Friends can make you change your behaviour. It's even painful when they treat you differently in front of people. I personally never felt loved by my friends and that's just it. The pain built the "I don't care " mood in me. It made me learn how to enjoy my own company and mind my business.
I've always tried to hold on to friendships but once I see how girls be moving these days...I chill and monitor the situation because I am the CEO of my life and as the CEO I have to make executive decisions and cut myself from the situation.

The girl you described in the distant friendship sounded exactly like me. However, I cared for those friends and wanted the best for them. I just wasn't able to feel close and open up to them for whatever reason.
OOOOOFFFFF IVE FELT THIS
I care too much, not realizing that people can be cruel; and not everyone has your best interest. This is the most real video I've ever heard. WOW. You hit the nail on the head. I needed to hear this story about the wedding. My best friend got MARRIED and didn't tell me until after the wedding. OMG, I was hurt, couldn't believe it.Told me it was PRIVATE, and nobody knew. I found out different months later. I feel better after hearing this. Thank you.

@Veronica Kambere Hahahaha I have no friends and I'm not lucky because everyone hates me and my bestfriend who used to comfort me left me for the mean girls
"What you give is not what you get back!" True! Just give what you and and move on! Only God can repay you back! God bless!
One of my best friends just told me she hated me and why. She said I was “too nice.” She said it today, on my birthday.🙃
My God ! How can someone say that to you on your birthday
well girl, if all she can knock you down on is the fact that you’re ‘too nice’, that’s the best insult you can get💗🥰
A good birthday gift that she showed you she’s toxic. You deserve better girl, you’re worth more than her
She is selfish
What garbage! She’s clearly v jealous of you, so I guess it’s for the best
I can’t take those people who have secret issues with you and act funny. If something bothered me that much and you’re my friend then I’m saying something. Let’s have a discussion
Right!! Just be honest about the issue instead of secretly resenting me 😕
What if it’s a friend who if you tell them how they’ve mistreated you , they have an immediate temper tantrum or threaten suicide? So you hold in how you feel because you’re afraid of them lol
like say it to my face you know!
this is unacceptable! my “friend” would hold grudges against me that i didn’t even KNOW about or when it started... and then out of the blue come to ME and say “we have beef” ... sis, WHERE???
Exactly...
I used to be a friendly type of person but people respect u if ur not if ur friendly they think ur a fool or use what u tell them against u and laugh at u behind ur back sometimes to your face. Nothing can surprise me when it comes to people family included. I surround my self with people who I can learn from or who can help me move forward in my life and I also help them too in return im happy with that. I surround my self with people who can uplift me and encourage me. When u start to move with more positive people positive things also start happening.

Watching some of your old videos and it's crazy how much the wedding story resonates with me and how often it happens these days as I've gotten older. I remember having a good friend/teammate from college, and when she got engaged I was one of the first she told. I couldn't wait for the wedding. A year later, I wake up on a Sunday morning to see on Facebook that she had her wedding that Saturday night beforehand and invited all our friends/teammates except me. And I had to find out on Facebook of all places. I learned that day where I stood in her mind and that apparently our friendship meant a lot more to me than it did to her. You really find out how someone feels about you when their wedding comes around😅
WHYYY DOO YOUUU TALKK SOOO MUCHHH SENSSEEEEEE, loool i love you.
yoooo that part "imagine a relationship you dont have to hold back your love for them" thats a WORDD
i feel like i share too much too soon, so certain people who were fleeting phases in my life are walking around with information about me and i can't get that back. losing friendships are so painful

I'm going to say something. My friend and I watch your videos. She lost her mum this year. Your videos are so helpful, she actually cried in the video HOW TO BE FEARLESS because her mum was such a strong woman. She was so close to her, she talked about these topics and this just makes her smile :) thank you so much angel, you don't know how much you help other people
Awww, so precious 🤗♥️
This video really helped me decide what to do with a friend who behaved badly with me, so thank you❤ I tried not to take it personally but I have been hurt so many times in the past that it becomes difficult to give people the benefit of the doubt when they act poorly.
Men have the same problems. I had friends that always talked in school and always outside of school, except without me. After awhile I realized it, so I asked if we should go somewhere and nobody showed up. Eventually they just stopped talking to me so I was just like fuck them. I'm tryna find some new friends now.
i'm so sorry this happened to u:/
I get the whole 3 type of friends thing but we gotta think, if you feel your friend is not investing in your friendship or you can’t get something you want out of them, they maybe just feeling the same way your feeling and I feel like Categorising friends can kind of ease into a fakeness. I wouldn’t want a bunch of different type of friends for different things if you know what I mean. If I have Friends(which is a strong word) we are FRIENDS period. You are either an acquaintance or a friend no more no less. ❤️loved the vid just my thought, really got me thinking
But I guess you can have all types of friends in the same group
🤔 just thoughts !
Right! I love this video, but I'm a black and white thinker. Either you're my friend or you're just somebody I met.
I agree
True but what if you are always the one who has to spark things up? #one-sided. Sometimes we hang on to long. That's why communication is the key. And if your friend is toxic they only take. The relationship stays one sided. Sometimes history is history..ppl change over the years. Holding on for the wrong reasons. It's Time to let go and cherish the good times.
"What you give is not always what you get back. " ugh how true this is. Great advice. It's tough because most people feign ignorance or are just that aloof and oblivious they don't see your pain, they don't see how they are hurting you. It's even tougher when it's family. A lot of gems in this s video that really helps me explain this to others and share with people who are going through struggles in their relationships. Keep up the good work.
i stopped believing in the concept of a “ best friend “ there’s a friend and a good/ close friend. i am my own best friend, ik alot of people and a lot of people know me , i just make good memories w them . and if anyone wanna leave i just say “ thank you for stopping by i can’t wait for another better memories “
Cut fake people out of your life immediately. ruclips.net/video/3meDxBgvguo/видео.html
I have made that mistake many times, not defining what type of relationship it is and expecting more than the relationship is capable of.
I love to get deep so not being able to get deep with people I see all the time like co workers or family members has been a challenge for me to accept.
But what can I say, I am learning to do that now 🤷🏽♀️
Thanks for this great video ❤️
Exactly!
Amen 💟
Same here!! I want to get to know people beyond the surface, but not everyone is open like that which I totally get because I'm not expecting anyone to tell me their whole life story and their deepest stuff right off the bat, plus I myself am a pretty private person too. It's hard to find people who will genuinely reciprocate the time and investment in a friendship/relationship; we've all got our own lives going on, but I don't want to just be someone who is of convenience to you when you want to do something or you're bored!
Get deep with God, you will not regret it.
This literally could not have come at a better time. You are a God send Breeny ❤️🙏
I just cut off a old friend, we've been friends since kids, because I really felt toxic to be around her and she wasn't growing me or encouraging me, its been hard to make that decision but I know it's better for me and my soul. I pray I did the right thing and it wasn't out of my own pride.
Noo you did .. I had to do the same thing to someone I was close since middle School. I told her to never contacted me ever again and also I block her . I told her how I felt front of her face , but you did a good thing you protecting yourself.

When I was younger I used to fall into friendships. Now I’m definitely a lot more selective and I am deliberate about the associations I make.
Same
Totally right
*Sis, came through with the amazing advice in the car again* 😩♥️
Linze P she’s so phenomenal yesss 🥰😍
You look like a doll!!!!
I thought I've hust recently been so betrayed but after hearing your story about a friend who was getting married I realised that literally my situation is just easy peasy and doesn't worth all the negativity that I keep in my heart towards those fake friends. Thank you for sharing, I feel much better after listening to you! But anyway, I'm at this life situation when I have no best friends at all and not even close ones, just some aquanticies to hang out with. Please girls pray for me so God bless me with a good, real, life-long friend 🙏❤️ and let God bless you with the same 🤗

I truly don't understand why you don't have millions of subscribers. Such a great message !
I am so glad that I realised thanks to Breeny that it wasn't just in my head. I've been a class colleague with this girl for 8 years, always having a good laugh whenever we spent time with each other. Ff after highschool, somehow we became closer. Ff aprox 2 years later till this day, I thought she's my best friend and I closed an eye whenever she was gossiping too much thinking I do the same sometimes (but not as bad as she does to be honest) and we all have flaws as humans. I closed an eye whenever she was making faces like she's fussy or disgusted with me, thinking that she still has a pure heart and good intentions. Two weeks ago she told me that she knows it doesn't sound that nice but she would never give a kidney to someone in need, but to her parents only. It made me realise that I was giving much more than she was in general, she has a pure heart and a smart mind, but she's not on the same page with me. She's not mature enough to have open talks, to accept opinions that contradict her, unless I drop it. I realised that if the girl I call a bestie wouldn't be there for me, while I would in the worst situation, then I can't actually count on her.. And what is the point? I became more selfish with my time and now I am thinking only if I want to do what she wants, just like I feel she does. Since then she's less stuck up and we stuck to only having a laugh. She also chose to not visit me where I live in England, even though I offered to pay her the plane ticket to come, but she bought herself one to go to London to someone she didn't speak constantly and in a while. Actions speak louder. I also realised how much I tried to lift her up while she's so insecure and anti social and doesn't even want to work on that, while she pushed me to follow my dreams in a shallow way like almost even a stranger would. And I just switched my attention to people that encourage me to be myself, they inspire me, I have real talks, open talks, without feeling like I have to bite my tongue, I feel more confident and happy that I can count on this people and it shows. They are slightly less warm and fuzzy but they are definitely there whenever I need them to be and yes, I am the same. Thank you this was my TedTalk and I encourage anyone to give up investing in people who don't do the same and honestly, whenever I cut or just stop investing that much in someone, every.single.time someone else appeared in my life out of a sudden - laws of the universe work indeed.
my so called “friends” never care about how I feel when I talk about my feelings. i would tell them that I felt like I was going through rock bottom and that I felt like some of my other friends leave me out of things, or don’t even like me when I’m there. they would just listen and either talk about something else and slide my feelings away or talk shit about that person and later on be the best fucking friends with them. I would talk to my friend who’ve I’ve known the longest about this new person who comes into our group who seems to hate me and only wants to be friend with the “popular kids.” She’d agree with me in that time but in front she’s her best friend and the next thing is. THEY HANG OUT ALL THE TIME. the clout chasing friend, the old time friend, and the fake friend, all hang out together and it’s just like ?? didn’t y’all just BARELY talk shit about each other to ME and then act like nothing happened?? We have five people in our group but out of the five, those three people are all fake to each other and I don’t know how to deal with anything anymore. I can’t even talk to people comfortably anymore or make new friends bc I’m just not comfortable speaking to anyone since I’ve been around these three snakes. I know most people won’t care about this long ass comment lol but if you do help a girl out pls bc I need advice for my emotional mess that I’m growing through.
hey shisters I’ve had the same experience. I hear you. God bless
It’s really hard to cut people out of your life, especially when it’s a childhood friend or someone your really close to. But at a certain point you need to cut them off, you can’t let them around to keep abusing your trust. You need to respect yourself, and your mental health. there could be damage but we don’t realize until things get worse.
Tbh slowly ghost them until they realize
hey shisters OMG YESSSSSS
Omg same thing happened to me
I fell in love with your personality
Can we call it 'soul surgery' That's series helped me through alot. The group will also help and reach alot of people. Blessing empress may the most high continue to use you xx
I literally want to cry right now !! I was just re-watching your self value video trying to figure out how to handle a friendship and this was just posted thank u 😭😔😘
I’m going through this now with one of my old friends, and I’m kind of teething on whether or not to unfriend her on all social media. This friendship thing can be tricky but honesty is what makes a real true great friend.
This Is me now, I wish to block her on facebook but I don't want to look to petty
Africa Now TV me too
Sometimes fake friends tend to show they’re toxicity at the start but you don’t notice it especially if you met them at young age
