Boundaries are healthy and a necessity for every relationship.A friend who'll test or cross your boundaries lets you know exactly where their respect for YOU ends.You can't force people to respect your boundaries.So if they won't ,you need to decide whether to accept their behavior, or end the friendship

Boundaries need to be communicated first verbally, and then with actions

Fake friends will dismiss your problems,and make you feel as though you're a burden to them.True friends will never make you feel as though you or your problems are a nuisance or burden to them.

We all have our little quirks and flaws ,but a true friend will love and accept you for all that you are,despite your flaws and "baggage". If a friend requires you to be anything other than yourself in exchange for a friendship, then they don't accept you for who you are deep down. And they aren't a true friend at all.

A friend is one that knows you as you are,understands where you have been, accepts what you have become,and still allows you to grow
