Caroline Maguire has a handy exercise that you can download so you can recognize “Green Light Friendship Signals”: https://carolinemaguireauthor.com/green-light-friendship-signals/ In her worksheet, you will learn to spot the activities and signs that a true friend gives off when they want to spend more time with you and become even closer.

Reciprocity is one of my weak spots, too. I feel terribly guilty when friends go out of their way to do something nice for me (like buying me a birthday gift), because I know I don’t have the spoons to do the same. I’ve given up on buying birthday or anniversary cards for family, too.
