You’re the one texting first, planning everything, showing up for people who don’t seem to notice…. or worse, don’t reciprocate. In this video, I break down why that keeps happening and it’s not always because your friends are selfish. I’ll walk you through three common patterns that cause people to over-function in their relationships: ✨ The Prover – trying to earn your place by giving too much 🧠 The Miscommunicator – not expressing what you actually need ⚠️ The Controller – asking for help but not allowing it to happen Most importantly, I’ll show you how to shift from transactional friendships to transformational relationships—the kind where you're met, valued, and wanted without overextending yourself. 🔹 Chapters: 0:00 "Leftover friend" 2:12 Taking inventory 3:36 3 common patterns 4:01 Pattern 1: The Prover 10:55 Pattern 2: The Miscommunicator 13:58 Pattern 3: The Controller 18:06 Examine the dynamic 💌 Sign up for my newsletter "Notes on Growth" https://goyw.net/newsletter 🔹About me My name is Charlotte and I make videos for people who want to get out of their own way.
