Is this true? Are friends that are meaner to you care? Doesn’t sound right.

I don't agree with this. Making someone "experience negative emotions" is a toxic behaviour. If this is the main method that someone uses to create and maintain a friendship, then that's very unhealthy. You can provide tough love to friends without being mean or derogatory - that's what a real friend does.

It's called "tough love". The only issue is that it leave unexpected effects on the target/victim. Most studies show trauma, PTSD like.

Yes because they wont enable and accept toxic behaviours or unhealthy habits that are damaging on their friends.
