A two-minute check
Is my friendship one-sided?
Think of one friend. Eight quick questions. Your answers stay on this page unless you send them to Ember.
At the end: what people in the same spot found.
Most of the reaching has been yours. The tiredness you feel has a reason.
Some of it runs one way, some of it doesn't. That middle is the hardest to read.
From what you ticked, the effort looks closer to shared. If it still feels lopsided, something else may be weighing on it.
What you told us
What people who stood here found
Most found out by stopping. They quietly stopped reaching out and waited. Usually nothing came back. Some still went back first, because an uneven friendship felt better than none.
Saying it changed things for a while. The ones who told their friend got a short stretch of more effort, then the old pattern returned.
What kept them going was bigger than the friend. The ones most stuck were held by what the friendship stood in for: the only close person nearby.
Talk it through with Ember
Ember starts from what you ticked. It knows how this went for people who stood here, and it won't tell you to keep going or to stop.
