RE: I'm Pulling The Trigger On A Toxic Friendship Today...

in #life7 years ago

You certainly pick up attributes from those you surround yourself with. I have been avoiding much direct contact with anyone in particular lately because it forces a lot of self reflection and personal development. I try to approach the concept of removing people from life as "going on different paths." It's possible he figures it all out and one day you two are best friends again. Who knows what the future holds? You are 100% correct on the not owing anyone anything aspect. We are responsible for our own well-being first and foremost. We can't spend all of our time and energy holding someone else together as that isn't healthy or beneficial to either party. Wholeness of self is priority to balance with others. Thanks for the reminder!
