When you try talking to a friend who seemingly ignores you for days at a time and gives no attention back, and overall acts like they
don't want to be your friend anymore. Just like giving
water to a dead plant, the plant will
never grow again or give anything back. Hence the name, watering a dead plant.
girl 1: damn, I was talking to
Emily last night and it feels like I'm watering a dead plant
girl
2: ditch him, you shouldn't be
friends with someone who doesn't match your energy
