Scenario

When you stay in a friendship out of pity rather than genuine connection

I am realizing that I stay friends with someone primarily because I feel sorry for them, not because I actually enjoy their company, and that feels terrible to admit.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Pity masquerading as loyalty creates a relationship built on condescension rather than respect, diminishing both people involved.
