‘Here’s why your friends hurt you’ – Lady explains

A lady, @adeifeadeoye, has taken to social media to reveal why most people get hurt in their friendships. 

In her insightful post, she emphasized the significance of setting boundaries and understanding the five levels of friendship. These levels include strangers, acquaintances, casual friends, close friends, and intimate friends.

@adeifeadeoye pointed out that many individuals make the common mistake of labelling everyone they encounter as friends, when in reality, they are not. She stressed that referring to someone as a friend shortly after meeting them is misleading. In her personal experience, she disclosed having only one intimate friend, while the others belong to various levels within the hierarchy of friendship.

She noted that this approach helps her avoid getting hurt, as she keeps her expectations appropriately aligned with each level.
