Dear Someone: Your heart is too valuable to serve as someone else's emotional dumping ground.

Your peace of mind deserves better. Explore these 30 signs of a toxic friendship and why letting go is the only way forward.

Dear, Dear Someone, _

I write to you from the quiet corner of understanding, where I've sat many times watching friendships I thought would last forever slowly unravel like worn sweaters. The threads of these relationships, once vibrant and strong, became tangled in manipulation, drained by one-sided effort, and frayed by repeated disappointments. I see you holding onto these friendships like I once did, believing that loyalty means enduring pain, that history justifies toxicity, that change means failure.
