As a child, she was known for her fiery temper and strong will. Her observations on friendship likely arose from these early relationships.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nThe author's comment suggests that true friends prioritize their own emotional well-being over loyalty to an individual in distress. This may seem counterintuitive, but it reflects the psychological principle that individuals with fragile emotional regulation require space to manage their feelings without external enablement.\n\n**How to Use This**\nWhen faced with a friend or colleague who is struggling with intense emotions, consider establishing clear boundaries while remaining available for support when they are calm and receptive.",{"currentPage":47,"totalPages":47,"totalItems":8,"itemsPerPage":48},1,10]
