I wont put up with it anymore. I look at each relationship and ask what I give and what I get. Then i decide the value. If i value a friendship, i will approach them with my concerns. If i dont i simply walk away.

I have found my worth. I choose to be surrounded by people who see if too. Your tribe exists, whether you have met them yet or not. I promise. Good people exist. My personal experience? All the best people are at list a little crazy. (And I identify as crazy, so it's not an offense)


Hey, thanks. I appreciate this a lot. A lot of wisdom and self respect in your post. I agree and this is something I aspire to.

The only friendship I value from these three friends who upset me, is the person who I said I was going to confront, in my OP.

I love that you have found your worth and are practicing ways of asserting your worth. Again, that's my goal too. I kind of go through cycles. Where I'm more empowered about myself, and then, less (and when I'm less empowered and self respecting, I'd also have to say I'm less mindful of whats going on for me in this area of my life. So here's to being mindful). Self empowerment, assertiveness in all my relationships, trusting my gut about others (I'm right a lot!!), self respect, self protection and boundaries. These are all things I want to practice daily in my life.
