Topic 2 | FriendshipsPlease note: This is not an indirect to anyone on qfeast. This is from experience with my friends and my not-friends-anymore irl.
✢ If you ask your friend a question, pay attention to the answer. Do NOT just ask the question so you can answer it yourself. That's just rude + bad manners.
✢ You're not a bad friend if you don't want to share all the time. It's fine to not share sometimes, however this does not mean you NEVER share, because then you're just being selfish. Share sometimes, don't share sometimes. Boundaries are important.
✢ Like I said in the previous point, boundaries are important. Know how you want to be treated, and if someone isn't treating you that way, correct their behaviour. You're not a doormat to be stepped all over!
✢ Don't ghost your friends. It's freaking mean. If you don't want to be friends anymore, at least tell them so they can get closure and aren't waiting for your text. Otherwise they might worry that you died in a car accident and become really worried (happened to me).
✢ If you promise something, keep your promise. (Imo)
✢ Don't lie to your friends. They might be in touch with your other friends who know the truth, and then you're in for trouble. (Of course, keeping your identity secret online is okay, this is mostly for irl friendships, but it still applies online, only to a different extent.)
✢ Don't make friends with people just so you can hitch rides with them or something similar. They are you FRIENDS not your SLAVES. Got it?
✢ Don't spread rumours. Just. Don't.
✢ Be respectful. That means respecting someone's pronouns, their preferred name (if they have one), their triggers, and things they don't like to talk about. It's just common curtesy.
✢ Don't stalk them without their consent. I have a friend who I "stalk" online, but she knows about and is okay with it. I asked her if it was okay, because we can't always be in contact and I wanted to make sure she was alright. So, if you "stalk" your friends, please ask them first!

he's not emotionally intelligent...I rarely talk about him to others, but we're DEF not the same in that regard unfortunately. But regardless, do you wish you could ask your new partner's ex for their side just to feel more "fair" or more aware?
