Build stronger friendships

This may sound so pathetic, but I feel like a very small amount of people that I have been “friends” with were ever really friends at all. But because I wanted to be well-liked I would allow frenemy after frenemy to walk all over me and take advantage of my friendship. I have recently started cutting people out of my life. People who aren’t as concerned with my well-being as I am for theirs’ are no longer considered friends in my book. That makes me sad, but I think I am more sad when most of my friends would treat me like my bad ex’s would. If I wouldn’t be mistreated by males why on earth would it just be okay for females to act that way towards me? I want to figure out completely who my true friends are, the qualities in them that make them so magnificant, and find ways to strengthen our friendships and make them feel appreciated and cared for. I would also like to start meeting new quality people so I can expand my circle.
