It’s been costing your peace
Sometimes, many friends don’t equate to a stronger support system.I truly wish that it should be, but it’s far from reality.
For today, take a pause and assess your relationship.
“My Story”
These are the people who always talk about their problems, what happened to them in their work, and probably even the recent events in their love lives. Basically, it’s all about them.
How about your problems? Your stories? Aren’t they worth listening for? Aren’t they worth sharing?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re also part of that friendship, right?
2. “It’s because of them”
This is the kind of people that are hard to spot if you’re not careful. They’re eloquent in blaming other people and will make you believe they did nothing wrong.
At the end of the conversation, they will make you see them as the righteous ones who were wronged, and they deserve to be pitied. Again, they are subtle in this.
Think about this: if they did it to other people, they would also do it against you. It’s just a matter of time.
Save your dignity as early as now and spot these people in your life.
3. “Other People”
Other people love to talk about “other people,” and I don’t know why.
I mean, you already have a lot on your plate, then you add your friend’s stories to the mix, surely you have a lot to talk about, right?
I used to do this when I was younger, but I learned the hard way.When you join this kind of conversation, you will be the next topic when you’re not around.
It’s hard to heal from this kind of relationship, so take note of the topic you and your friends laugh about when you meet.
Be careful that if it’s another person’s life, remember that you can become that “another person”.
My Point:
Protect your peace at all costs and one way to do that is by being intentional with the people around you.
Being aware of the “categories” of people that I’ve listed above may help you select who you choose to stay.
These are the people worth having with you, as you are to them.
