📌 I Give Importance to Those Who Do the Same

Mutual effort isn’t pride — it’s balance.

🌱 Intro

There was a time I believed in giving people the benefit of the doubt. Reaching out first. Making time. Holding space. Until I realised… not everyone does the same. And over time, that imbalance adds weight — not to the relationship, but to your emotional exhaustion.

💡 Explanation

"I give importance to only those who do the same for me."

It’s not about playing games or keeping score. It’s about emotional sustainability.

In any connection — be it friendship, family or work — effort should feel like a two-way handshake, not a one-handed clap.

😂 Funny Antidote

I once messaged someone three times over a few weeks — no reply. But the moment I posted a plate of noodles on Instagram, they popped up with: "Where’s this? I wanna go!"

Of course, I left them on “seen”. Because apparently, that’s how we do things now. 😏🍜

🧭 Conclusion

Life’s too short to keep knocking on closed doors.

So I’ve learned to match energies: If you show up, I show up. If you disappear, I won’t chase.

Because giving importance to someone who doesn’t do the same? That’s not kindness — that’s self-neglect.
