You're not actually a better friend for not articulating and respecting your own needs, limits and boundaries. Your lack of communication and boundaries is not some impressive sacrifice. You're not doing anyone any favors by acting like you're okay with things you aren't okay with. You're just building burnout and resentment that will eventually damage the relationship in question. And when you eventually snap and walk away because you silently overburdened yourself to be a "good friend", it won't be the other persons fault
articulating your boundaries is overrated. take a mental note of the disrespect and act accordingly. if prompted as to why the behavior changed, then provide an explanation. nobody likes to hear why you don’t want to talk to them as much, and very few will respond respectfully
