Friends stop dating us

I never thought that a friendship built over many years would break down simply because of a mismatch in dressing tastes, or perhaps because we were too "dominant" in his eyes...

The beginning of the problem.

The most recent sea trip, we chose this glitter because we saw that the color of nude gold drove the skin and the rope design looked chic. We took pictures to send them to our friends from the day of the delivery. Everyone was aware and unchallenged at the time.

Birthday story:

When the day came to go out and take pictures of the beach together, the atmosphere changed from face to back as soon as we walked out in this shirt.

From walking around and hugging our necks and laughing, friends began to distance themselves and look at us with illegible eyes.

Throughout the trip, we clearly noticed that friends tried to avoid taking pictures with us, or if it was a group photo, we would be placed on the edge, or sometimes a few friends would call each other to take pictures when we weren't there.

The conversation that used to be fluid turned into a short answer question, like we became outsiders in the blink of an eye, just because the clothes we wore were more "fully organized" than the others in the group.

At the end of the trip, we were removed from the line group and confused by social blocks until we later realized that our friends were unhappy that we were "taking the scene" and that the group's image did not look in the same direction, even though we were just choosing what we wore and were most confident...

Sometimes the word "friend" does not mean that he will be pleased with us on our best-looking day. This fragile relationship brings us back to view it...Are we actually wrong in the shirt, or are we wrong to choose the wrong person?

Has anyone ever experienced "beautiful until the cause" or been banned because of such trivial things? Let's encourage each other. Right now, the heart is more broken than the shirt. 😭

... Read moreประสบการณ์จากการถูกเพื่อนเลิกคบเพียงเพราะความแตกต่างเรื่องการแต่งตัว ไม่ใช่เรื่องแปลกที่ความสัมพันธ์จะมีช่วงเวลาที่เปราะบาง ความรู้สึกเหมือนถูกทอดทิ้งเพราะใส่เสื้อผ้าเด่นนั้น ทำให้เราต้องตั้งคำถามกับตัวเองว่า ควรเปลี่ยนแปลงอะไรหรือไม่ บางครั้งการ "แย่งซีน" หรือดูโดดเด่นเกินไป อาจก่อให้เกิดความอึดอัดในกลุ่มเพื่อน แต่สิ่งสำคัญคือการรักษาความมั่นใจในตัวเอง จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมเคยเจอเพื่อนที่ห่างเหินกันเพราะความเห็นไม่ตรงกันเรื่องการแต่งตัวและไลฟ์สไตล์ที่ต่างกัน ช่วงแรกรู้สึกเสียใจมากจนไม่อยากออกไปเผชิญหน้ากับสังคม แต่เมื่อได้ใช้เวลาสำรวจตัวเอง ผมเข้าใจว่าบางคนอาจไม่สามารถยอมรับความแตกต่างได้ และบางทีเราต้องเลือกที่จะยอมรับความจริงนี้แล้วเดินหน้า การรักษามิตรภาพนั้นไม่ใช่เรื่องง่าย ต้องมีความเข้าใจและยอมรับในตัวตนของกันและกัน ถ้าเพื่อนคบเพราะเห็นคุณค่าในตัวคุณ ไม่ใช่เพียงเพราะภาพลักษณ์หรือการแต่งตัว ความสัมพันธ์นั้นจะยั่งยืนกว่า คำแนะนำจากผมคือ อย่าปล่อยให้ความเห็นของคนอื่นมากำหนดความรู้สึกของเราในเรื่องที่เป็นตัวตนของตัวเอง หามิตรภาพใหม่ๆ ที่เปิดใจรับคุณในทุกมุมมอง และอย่าลืมว่าการใส่ใจดูแลตัวเองทั้งกายและใจเป็นสิ่งสำคัญที่จะทำให้คุณพร้อมรับมือกับความเปลี่ยนแปลงในความสัมพันธ์ทางสังคมได้อย่างเข้มแข็งมากขึ้น หากใครกำลังเจอเหตุการณ์แบบนี้ ผมอยากบอกว่าคุณไม่ได้อยู่คนเดียว และความเจ็บปวดนี้เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของการเติบโตที่ทำให้เราแข็งแรงมากขึ้นในอนาคต

A woman in an elaborate white wedding dress stands in a dimly lit, ancient stone room. Overlay text asks, "How To Stop Idolizing Being In A Relationship So Badly?" relating to the article's theme of not making relationships an idol.
A Bible verse from Philippians 4:19, highlighted in pink, states, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." This supports the article's message about God's provision.
A screenshot displays Matthew 6:33 from the New Living Translation, which reads, "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." This aligns with the article's advice to prioritize God.
What Helped To Stop Idolizing A Relationship 🫣
The desire for a relationship and marriage is not a bad thing. Some times (often, really) well meaning Christians will discourage others into thinking that their strong desire for a relationship equals idolatry, simply because that is not their burden. No. That being said, it is possible to set up

Why You Keep Feeling Confused in Dating
Confusion doesn’t come out of nowhere. It starts small. A delayed reply. A change in tone. A shift in effort. And instead of addressing it, you adjust yourself. You overthink. You overextend. You overstay. Clarity isn’t harsh. It’s necessary. If it feels off, it probably is
