Why is it so hard to have friends who don't just abandon you the minute you have a rough time?

There have been many times when I have looked around me and thought, wow, I have a really good support network....but it's not real. People are all talk it seems.

Maybe I just don't know what people want 🤷‍♀️ Just the good bits, it seems.

We live in a world of instant gratification and low moral standards. If it can't be seen, it's less important. Everybody feels like they're struggling to stay on top of whatever raft they feel like they're on and sometimes it's too risky to try and pull someone up when needed.
