…continued… from part 1
There are people who stay in your life for a while and those who stay for a long time. We even have those who stay for a particular season and once that season is over, their relevance has expired. Don’t try to force open the doors that have been shut on its own accord when all it will bring is chaos, self-doubt and bitterness. Yes, do all you can but please don’t lose your sleep over it.
Never displease yourself just to please another person. Most people will make you feel guilty and amplify your character flaws because they want to have their ways due to their selfish reasons. I am not saying you shouldn’t try to be a better person, but that realization must come from within you and not from guilt or desire to have people around you because you know yourself better and no one has the right to tell you who you are not. Until you get to the point where you look at yourself and know a character or a habit needs to change, nothing can be done, so never allow people to drag you down because once they can’t have their way based on their selfish reasons, they start name calling you just to force your hands into submission. Friendship shouldn’t be manipulative or coarse. Learn to grow at your own pace.
Never live by anyone’s standards because those who love you won’t leave you out there in the cold without telling you what needs to be improved on and it is still your choice to decide because they might be judging you based on their own exposures and they would naturally assume everyone is like that when they truly don’t know you deep down. Those who love you won’t look for an easy way to leave. You don’t need a crowd to feel you have people, you only need few honest and loyal friends around and you are good to go.
Never hold anyone by the hand when they threaten to leave. Never hold anyone by the button in other to be heard, instead, you should rather hold your tongue than them; you should rather make yourself valuable than trying to please them. No one can resist value adders. A lot of people only want to stick around you because of the things they can get from you and the moment you deprive them, they start making you feel guilty and in truth, you will start feeling guilty because your default mode has been conditioned to always be good.
