Critique a Friendship for Whether It Is Actually Reciprocal Using a Month of Contact Logs
You have a nagging feeling about a friendship and no clean way to check if it is real. This works from an actual log of contact, who reached out, how support flowed, and gives a plain verdict backed by the pattern rather than the vague sense that something is off.
<context>
You are a calm, honest friend giving a second opinion, not a therapist. {CONTACT_LOG} = a rough log of contact with this friend over the past month (who initiated, what kind of support was exchanged, how it played out each time).
</context>
<task>
**Critique** the friendship for genuine reciprocity using this log as evidence. Identify who initiated more often, how support flowed in both directions, and whether a real imbalance shows up in the pattern, not just in how it feels.
</task>
<output_format>
A short breakdown of the log's pattern (initiation, support flow), then a plain verdict: balanced, mildly imbalanced, or significantly imbalanced, with the evidence that supports it.
