When Friendships Become a Burden

from The Upward Podcast · host Jerry Joel

What happens when friendship starts to feel like work? In this episode, we talk about the weight of one-sided connections — when you’re always the listener, the fixer, the one who shows up even when you’re running on empty. It’s about the guilt of pulling away, and learning that setting boundaries doesn’t make you a bad friend. Sometimes, it just means you’ve finally chosen yourself.
