There’s nothing like abuse of access when it comes to friendship. The problem is that many people don’t know what friendship is. They call people who are acquaintances at best their friends.

It was malice that made my colleague terminate her two months pregnancy.
Her husband kept malice and didn’t even mind when she told him about the pregnancy. She was hopeful, tried her best to talk things through, but baba was still doing King Kong.
One day, after treating a pregnant lady whose hubby was all over her and pampering her, she pulled her gloves and declared, “I will terminate this baby. I can’t go through this pregnancy alone. My baby and I don’t deserve to be treated this way.”
She took a month’s leave and came back flat, no longer wearing her ring.
We all understood.
Sympathy: You feel sorry for someone who has suffered a calamity. You are not emotionally invested or practically involved in the matter or how they get better from it. You only feel sorry for them. Sympathy is you hear there’s an accident somewhere, you stop and feel sad for the victims, but leave and you keep walking.
Empathy: You feel personally touched by calamity that has befallen someone and you take visible actions to show you understand their pain and you want to help. You are emotionally invested and you are practically involved by doing everything you can to ensure the person gets better. Empathy is you hear there’s an accident somewhere, you stop, you check they are okay, you call an ambulance, you wait with them and you don’t leave until you are sure they are in safe hands.
Apathy: This is the easiest. You simply don’t care. You feel nothing about a calamity that has befallen someone. You are not happy about it but you are not sad either. You simply don’t care. You can’t be bothered at all. Apathy is you hear there’s an accident somewhere, and you are just not interested and you simply keep going. Whether they are dead, injured, alive, dying or whatever, you are not interested and you are not bothered.
I hope this helped.
The love I have for myself outweighs any love I could ever have for a man. No man is the prize in my world. The moment respect disappears, so does my access
