Bonding over Bullshit

I am guilty of bonding with people over bullshit. I've learned, mostly the hard way, that liking and together engaging in the same type of unhealthy, self-defeating, harmful behaviors does not make two people friends. It makes them comfortable with their bad behavior. Stop the tomfoolery, make positive changes, and see if that "friend" will still be around. More times than not, the relationship will end when the bullshit ends.
