She only used to call me when she needed something (like help her repair her friendship or be the sober driver for her husband’s drunkard friend). Maybe I did those things because of my toxic people pleasing and codependency. Because I thought I was proving my worth to her, to her husband. But I learned that I can’t prove my worth to them…or to anyone. If someone thinks I’m unworthy, nothing I do will convince them to change their mind. That’s a hard pill to swallow. I’m embarassed for wasitng so much time. I’m 53 now. What do I do with myself?
That's easy. Go out and live your life. Life is too short to second-guess yourself and trying to enhance relationships that clearly aren't there. You'll see how much time you wasted and can make better decisions about what to do with that time.
