A real friend isn't capable of feeling sorry for you.

Summary

This quote suggests that a genuine friend is not someone who pities or feels sorry for you. Instead, a true friend embodies empathy and understanding, supporting and encouraging you through difficulties without treating you with sympathy. It implies that a real friend offers compassion but also empowers you to face challenges on your own and grow as an individual. They believe in your capabilities, provide constructive advice, and encourage personal growth, rather than offering empty sympathy.
