While acknowledging the fact that thoughts related to any action contrary to the care and compassion that you feel toward your friend might seem like going against your basic nature, there could be a few things that need to be addressed within you before figuring out the steps ahead. Once you do this, rest assured that you will be able to make the right choice and decisions.
Our attitude towards life in general and things in particular is most often based on our Beliefs - what we believe to be true about ourselves and the world.
What are your core beliefs about yourself and the world/others?
What are your beliefs on what a healthy relationship looks and feels like?
Are there any beliefs that prevent you from trusting yourself enough to make the right choices and decisions?
Try writing them down and examine the validity of these beliefs.
Some of them may be limiting and negative in nature because of some of the feedback you might have received while growing up - at home, in school, from your classmates, friends, relatives, etc. But once you are aware of them, you shed light on them,examine their truth, they can no longer manipulate your behavior or actions. As your beliefs change, your attitude changes, and words, actions and behavior follow.
As you go about your daily routine, simply observe the thoughts that you experience from time to time. Without judging them, labeling them or responding to them. This will give you insight regarding those beliefs that need to be addressed.
