Assess Whether a Friendship Has Become Toxic
Something about one friendship has started to feel off, and you can't tell if it's you. This rates the relationship across reciprocity, respect, emotional safety and growth, scoring each and saying why. You come away with a clearer picture of whether it's a rough patch or a pattern, and what to do either way.
<context> You have a friendship with [friend's first name or role, e.g. my coworker-turned-friend] that has lasted [duration]. Lately you've noticed [describe patterns, e.g. they only call when they need something, they dismiss your feelings]. </context> <task> **Evaluate this friendship across four dimensions**: reciprocity, respect, emotional safety, and growth. For each dimension, rate it 1-5 and give a one-sentence rationale. Then provide an overall verdict -- healthy, needs a conversation, or consider distancing -- with a brief explanation. </task> <output_format> Four scored dimensions, an overall verdict, and a suggested next step. </output_format>
