00:00If you are kind but struggle to maintain friendships, you may display these traits.
00:06You can be the most caring person in the room and still watch friendships fade away.
00:10This instinctively feels wrong.
00:12We expect generous, thoughtful people to have thriving social lives.
00:16But many caring individuals struggle to maintain close friendships because specific well-meaning behaviors create distance.
00:23Your best traits work against you.
00:25Deep empathy comes across as overwhelming concern.
00:28Generosity feels like guilt-inducing pressure.
00:31Loyalty seems like possessiveness.
00:33You don't need to become less caring, just channel it better.
00:37Yale researchers found that constantly accommodating others increases distress and contributes to relationship dysfunction.
00:43People-pleasers experience compassion fatigue and build resentment without expressing it.

00:53By listening but rarely sharing your own problems, you block connections.
00:58Friends want to offer reciprocal support.
