Are fake friends draining your energy more than you realize? Keeping toxic friendships around—even when you know they’re not good for you—can take a serious toll on your mental health. In this video, we’re not here to tell you what to do, but to give you that little push to put yourself first. Because you deserve real connections, not ones that leave you feeling worse.

If this video resonates with you, share it with someone who might need the reminder too.
