When friendships become safe spaces for self-criticism instead of self-love

My best friend and I both struggle with self-worth and we've fallen into this pattern where we build each other up but also kind of enable each other's self-criticism. We'll spend hours validating each other's complaints about ourselves and I'm starting to wonder if our friendship has become a place where we hide from actually loving ourselves.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sometimes the most loving relationships can become refuges from the harder work of loving ourselves.
