Not putting up with passive aggressive

While I'm not using details because this is a public forum and it's a private argument, all I'm going to say here is that friends who pull a guilt trip on you because you won't compromise your boundaries to give them what they want are not friends at all. I feel good coming to that conclusion.

It makes me think of this Thought Catalog article. In part:

Stop having hard conversations with people who don’t want to change. Stop showing up for people who are indifferent about your presence. Stop prioritizing people who make you an option. Stop loving people who aren’t ready to love you.
I know that your instinct is to do whatever you can to earn the good graces of everyone you can, but that is also the impulse that will rob you of your time, your energy and your sanity.
When you start showing up to your life wholly and completely, with joy and interest and commitment, not everyone is going to be ready to meet you there.
