Friendship and relationships are always transactional, he explained. If you give, they take, and if they give, you also take. If you’ve lost friends or certain people no longer respond to your calls, it likely means they’ve been giving, and you haven’t given back.

He stressed that relationships shouldn’t revolve solely around money. Instead, true connection is often sustained through consistent emotional support and shared time.

You don’t always have to give money,” he said. Sometimes, your time, commitment, and wise counsel are the most valuable things you can offer. These, too, are forms of giving.

Sonnie Badu encouraged his followers to adopt a deeper understanding of how relationships work, especially when they encounter people they envision having lasting connections with.

Whenever you find a friend or partner you see yourself building a future with, always appreciate the philosophy of friendship, he added.
