In a friendship dilemma? Consider the following:

  1. Think of the version of you who made this friend, are they someone you would consider trustworthy now? Did they hold standards and boundaries in a way that are useful to you now? 
  2. This friend that you are unsure about, are they respectful or disrespectful? 
  3. Are they comfortable with conflict? Do they leave room for disagreement? 
  4. Are you inspired by them to be a more you version of yourself? What does their presence encourage or discourage in you? 
  5. Are your best traits amplified by them or are your worst traits amplified by them or something in between? 
  6. Who benefits the most from this relationship? Is it equally beneficial?
  7. What about this friendship lights you up? What about it makes you uncomfortable and uneasy? 
  8. Have you tried setting a boundary and how did they respond?
