Key takeaways 5
Mixing friendship and business is extremely difficult because business decisions are not always mutually beneficial, whereas friendships are built on equal partnership.
True friendship can be measured by a 'role reversal' test: if the roles were swapped, would they help you as much as you helped them?
People often disguise negativity or betrayal as friendship to gain access to your circle; you must be wary of those who only offer validation.
Therapy provides an unbiased assessment from someone with 'no dog in the fight,' helping individuals understand their triggers and reactions without the fear of social repercussions.
Takers will never put limits on what they take, so you must establish limits on what you give to protect yourself from exploitation.
