Most of the time, friends usually just need someone to listen when they talk about their problems. Don't automatically assume they need advice. Also, it's 100% harder when you're in the situation yourself so ofc advices would be easier said than done. It's a little frustrating to see my friends staying in toxic situations even after they've talked about it a million times but I choose to be patient and understanding. But if being the therapist friend is draining for you it's completely fine to set boundaries.

0:50 I’m pretty sure that’s what therapy is for.

Funny enough, psychologically we are wired to like a person better that asks us for help. Regardless of what they do in return for us. And every single person is that way for some reason. We feel closer to them as a result. Maybe its because to ask for help subconsciously signals that a person is showing humility or vulnerability by asking for help in the first place. So not actually a bad thing to ask for help, in fact it only helps you.
That being said, if some toxic trait really bothers you about a friend, I'd say just talk to them about it. Often times they will do things subconsciously or as a force of habit without even thinking about it. Doesn't mean that they have bad intentions necessarily. If it's causing you grief, don't bottle it up because that will just cause you to hold things against them or feel negatively towards them in some way. Just have an honest face to face conversation with them about it. Point is just communicate with your friend, they don't know what's going on inside your mind either and they can't change their behavior if they're not aware of a problem. Don't be the friend that just bottles things up or fails to communicate because that makes you the shitty friend as well.

Listening to Swoozie's storytelling and advice maybe makes me realize that we need people like him to support for a friend in need, thank you, Swoozie for being a true and real "you" to show us what a support friend needs for those people who have big problems in life to guide and support them in a right way! 🙏🙂❤️

I didn't have a lot of friends growing up either, in my late teens early 20s I started making friends and was easier as I grew up. However I also had the same problem where I attracted either takers, or codependent people or ones that just didn't have my best interests and kept me around because I was useful.
Thankfully I dropped so many "friends" in my latter 20s and things are much clearer in my 30s.
You can smell the bullshit a mile away at this age lol, that's why I love my 30s.

I can relate so much. I wish I had people around me who want to talk about solutions rather than complaining and blaming
