DBT (interpersonal effectiveness section) & a wonderful therapist truly helped me learn. Learn when to walk away from some people. Not everyone is meant to be our friend & we need to sense that BEFORE we invest ourselves in trying to force something to become a REAL friendship.
I have learned to keep people I first meet at acquaintance level. Then slowly get to know them without trying to force anything. Sometimes the more I get to know someone, the more I determine just how incompatible I am with them & the acquaintance just slowly fades away.
