At some point you have to acknowledge that you have to cut ties with some people for your own mental sanity's sake. Could be people you've known for years, or people you love, and so on. Because if that respect is not reciprocated then eventually you're going to get stressed out and that's really destructive for your body health.
It can be as simple as not talking to them anymore or seeing them. But the truth is that many of us eventually have to confront this feeling at some point in our lives.
Some we see as friends and families are nothing but parasites waiting and watching to gain from us and never add in one way or the other to our lifes and to keep going forward cutting the ties with them is the only solution to the problem because they won't stop bringing you down until you let go even if its too hard to let go but that is the only option.
Most challenges encountered by youths are the kinds of friends that surrounds them, most are only there because of what they stand to gain and not for the real purpose of friendship. The life of a man may be simultaneously moving with a normal and good velocity but when those forces we see are good once comes in things keeps dropping till it finds it difficult moving and the only solution is to separate all from your side if you really wants to move.
