Sometimes I get caught up in wanting so badly for someone to like me, that I don’t even realize that actually I don’t like them lol, or that they don’t make me feel good. I’m on my self-preservation journey, and it is time to say some rhetorical goodbyes for the sake of my peace and sanity !!

I discovered that the most important thing when it comes to realising that someone is not a great friend for you (not because they necessarily did you wrong, even though it happens) is when you actually start not liking yourself when you are with them/around them. You don’t recognise who you are because you’re putting up a facade just to please them and not be judged by them…
I think it’s an awful thing to do to yourself.
A great thing, if having an honest conversation with the person doesn’t work, might be boundaries, and slowly distancing yourself.
Sometimes people grow apart, and that’s ok.

Not to add fuel to anyone’s avoidant attachment, cuz human connection can be the most rewarding experience and I have some incredible people in my life, but being in any kind of unhealthy/mismatched relationship is the most exhausting experience. It takes up far more of your mental energy than you even realize, especially if you’re someone who can lean anxiously attached and tries to “repair” these relationships — like me.
Sometimes you can work out differences with some honest communication, but sometimes it is far better to de-escalate or end things, recognizing that some people have different values or are in such a different place where a long-term connection just isn’t possible — or at least possible, right now.
Be honest with yourself and each other when a relationship feels exhausting — romantic or platonic — and if you’re not certain what you need, take some space to clear your head and find your own inner voice again. It might be trying to tell you something if you take the time to listen.

Has anyone else ever experienced realizing what u actually need to feel loved and cared for by realizing the people in ur life aren't giving that to u? I've been dealing with that a lot recently and it's so crazy to process in the moment tbh
