Natural?
Hi,
Is "If this friendship is like a burden on you, why did you start it in the first place?" Natural?
Do you have any suggestions for a better, more natural way of putting this into words?
Thank you.

“If this friendship is a burden on you, why did you start it in the first place?”
This is how I would express this idea, as a native American English speaker. Your version is ok, but the word “like” is unnecessary, since the word “burden” can refer to an emotional or social burden as well as a physical one.
