You know you have authentic friends in your life when:
1. They understand your emotional capacity and that sometimes you'll give more, sometimes you'll give less depending on what's happening in your life.
2. They check in on you, and also respect your space when you need it.
3. They know how to cope with their own insecurities which allows them to feel happy for you even when it brings up jealousy.
4. They respect choices you're making to be a better version of yourself
Ex: not pressuring you to drink when you tell them you're taking a break from alcohol.

5. They support you without unsolicited advice of what *they* would do if they were you.
6. There isn't score keeping or records of what you've done for each other (transactional relationship)
7. You know that when you tell them something it will not be shared unless they ask or you tell them it's fine to cross that boundary.
