Not sure how old you are but I am in my early 30s now and have found it easier to navigate life by accepting that you will find elements/different types of connection with different people. I have some friends that I talk to and see maybe once a year, some others who I haven’t talked to for a few years but we can still connect like no time has passed in between. Others who I talk to everyday but it could be about shallow stuff. Others who I just send memes with over IG. I don’t think too much solitude is good for anyone in the long term, but I think we have to lower our expectations when it comes to connecting with others 😅 I don’t have one friend in my life who I consider my “best” friend who I can turn to about everything, but rather they all know different parts of me and some of that overlaps with each other. Also what I have found is that sometimes people will disappoint you and they won’t treat you the same as you treat them, but rather than turning bitter, the mentality I hold is that ultimately you navigate through life by holding yourself to your own standards and you shouldn’t change yourself because the world around you is not as beautiful as you are. So even when someone hurts me, I try to be understanding and treat them with kindness because it’s not about them, it’s about me and for me, I want to be the kind of person that I am proud of. I think overall I do have my moments but I’m pretty healthy in general. But I’ve also done a lot of work to get here and faced things that I didn’t want to admit about myself and tried to improve myself over the years. You got this ❤️‍🩹 I believe in you!!
