I stopped chasing people for their friendship. Noticeably, none of those people reached out to me to stay in contact with them, when I stopped chasing them. One-way fair-weather friendships aren't for me. No one has ever pursued me to be their friend. I can't change who I am (nor should I). If no one ever chooses to reach out to me, then I know they were never really a friend -- but just an acquaintance. I'm still waiting for real friendships with people. I hope those happen.
