Since
Relationship-with-self has been up and running, I've received hundreds
of questions asking for friendship advice.
Most of the
questions have been about handling a friendship slipping a way, dealing
with gossip, feeling like the third wheel, and ending a friendship.
It's never easy to
handle a friendship problem..feelings get hurt,
loneliness occurs, and sometimes depression can set in.
Yet, what is
easy is
the ability to all of a sudden turn on ourselves and others when we've
been hurt. We accuse others for treating us poorly when their
intentions may have been otherwise..or we take it personal when a
friendship ends.
This type of
self-inflicting pain causes friendship
problems. We assume others are against us..when in all actuality, we
are against ourselves.
In order to resolve
your friendship problems, it's important to learn from your
friendships..observe what type of friends you choose..observe how you
interact with friends..observe how you feel when around certain people,
and observe what you want and don't want from a friendship.
I have a favorite
quote I follow when deciding on friendships..
"When
deciding on friendships always choose friends that contribute to your
happiness."
