Over the past year this has made me realise, I do not need this people in my life. I only want people who can support me and will benefit me, maybe this is selfish? But after all it is my life so why can't I be the centre of it?
A few months ago I decided enough was enough and it was time to let those people go. So if you are planning on binning the crap friends here are a few reassuring words.
It doesn't make you a bad person because you don't want to hang out with someone anymore.
You weren't born to live your life wasting hours on one sided friends.
There are people out there who actually care about you, spend more time with them!
To find those one sided friends, ask them how they are and see if 1, they ask you the same, and 2, if they actually listen to your answer.
Good luck xo
Beautiful post ! The people we surround ourselves with have such a big impact on our lives - I'm so glad to read that you are making positive changes xx
ReplyDeleteThis post speaks to me on such a deep and personal level - it's like reading an entry of my own diary. Feeling like I'm being used or the other person is getting more out of the friendship while I give so much (and get nothing in return) is definitely not new to me. Having had a few friendships like that in the past, it's getting harder and harder for me to trust new people in my life. Your encouragement actually has given me a boost of motivation - maybe I'll be brave and distance myself from those toxic friendships....
