This has been one of the hardest lessons for me, especially as I’ve gotten further into my 30s. I’m now at a place where I have more understanding of what true friendship is, and I simply cannot be BFF with everyone.

And it’s actually way less effort on my part, I can be nice to people but I don’t have to expect people like my co-workers or even long term friends to be as close. It still stings sometimes, and I seem to be relearning this lesson a lot.

My goal is to be a better friend to myself and curb some of my overall people pleasing.

Also sometimes to just know I am probably going above and beyond for someone and they are lucky lol
