A friendship pattern from What's Your Friendship Pattern?
The Loyal Giver
You love your people with a consistency that most of them probably don't fully appreciate. You're the one who remembers, who checks in, who shows up without being asked. What's worth looking at is whether that giving has ever cost you something you didn't notice until later.
The pattern to watch
You may be holding friendships together single-handedly without naming it, even to yourself. The loneliness of being the one who cares more is real, and it tends to build quietly until you're further from someone than you realized.
What makes you rare
The kind of loyalty you offer is genuinely hard to find. The shift is in finding the ones who love you back with the same consistency, and letting yourself receive it when they do.
Three journal prompts for The Loyal Giver
