when you realized that your friends are assholes?

First time hanging out with new people, a bunch of us were in a circle chatting. I'm soft spoken, and when i accidentally got talked over, i just accepted it as always, was very used to it.

Someone in this group actually stopped them, said "hold on, what were you saying?", and the other person even apologized. It was mind blowing being heard and seen like that, and put a lot into perspective.

... Read moreFriendship dynamics can significantly impact our well-being. When we find ourselves in relationships where our voices are not heard, it can lead to feelings of isolation and misunderstanding. It's essential to surround ourselves with supportive individuals who recognize and validate our experiences. Many people have had similar moments of realization regarding their friendships. These experiences can be catalysts for personal growth and change. Sometimes, we accept poor treatment due to a desire to fit in or maintain long-standing relationships. However, the importance of having friends who uplift and respect us can inspire us to reevaluate our social circles. Moreover, engaging in open conversations about feelings and boundaries is crucial in nurturing healthy relationships. If you've ever felt overlooked, consider expressing your thoughts and needs to your friends. This could lead to a transformative moment, just as it did in the story shared here. Continue to explore the dynamics of your friendships and discover the importance of surrounding yourself with positivity.

POV you realized something important…
WOAH!…you finally realized something important. You can care about your family without managing their emotions. Once you make that shift, watch what you STOP doing… 1️⃣ Over-explaining your choices 2️⃣ Arguing with people who don’t want solutions 3️⃣ Feeling guilty for needing space 4️
