I feel like the lack of boundaries and self value probably attracts pretty crap people in reguards to friendship, too, and was just wondering if anyone else went through the same thing? A lot of friends I had since childhood and those I would choose during my teens and early twenties ended up being some of the worst people and had to cut them out. They honestly had no sense of empathy and it's almost like the same thing as when you date an LMV where you're in denial for a long time, but in retrospect all the red flags were so clear. They never had my best interest. I feel like they use the same tactics too. Like there is definitely a friend version of "negging" and stuff like that.

Do you have a method to attracting better friends in the same way you attract better men?
