Turns out when people love you, they want to support and listen to you. Revolutionary!
Give it a go!

This is something I've struggled with my whole life as I am very self-conscious about being a bother and burden on literally anyone, but friends are supposed to be there for you. So I opened up and confided in some of my friends as I really didn't know what else there was for me to do, and I'm so glad I did. I deeply appreciated and continue to appreciate their empathy, kindness, and support. It was a big help and now I'm able to get thru this week feeling much less shitty about myself, or at least know that I got my friends in my corner.
Looking to be better about this :)

And you’re set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it).
I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way).
I’ve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but I’ve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (I’m not sure how to phrase it). And I’m the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me.
Howeverrrrr… over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with… and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. I’ve also been so inspired by the circle of friends I’ve got now.
It’s not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with.
Gratefully & Gratituously,
I love my friends.

It’s so easy to get caught up in our own worlds…I know I tend to keep everything I’m working on/ dealing with to myself, but sharing what I’m up to with the people I love is more often than not, the missing piece to my puzzle.
From encouragement to fresh perspectives and even accountability, I can get so much value out of those casual conversations with my people :)
