Either they left because they grew apart from you, maybe even moved somewhere long distance, found a new group of friends or lover, or even decided they no longer wanted to be apart of your life.<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Either of changed goals, different mentality, and even potentially jealousy.<\/p>\n
This year was a very challenging year for me.<\/p>\n
I would say mainly because of character development and also my mental state.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I had a lot of extracurriculars that I dedicated myself towards…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With that it cost me my mental stability. Not just because it was something I was always doing, but if i’m being honest it lead to a lot of insight on who I am as a person and the friends I would hang out with.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finding a way to balance my social life, work and academics wasn’t to hard, but socially I struggled the most.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I may have realized that some people I thought were my closest friends weren’t actually my friends.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some, I figured,\u00a0 didn’t actually have anything in common with but I just found myself being in the exact space.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It was bothersome to me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bothersome in a way where I felt alone, I felt like everyone was\u00a0 a stranger. Even worse, I felt as though some people in particular didn’t actually care about me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They only were around me for benefit or to utilize me for things that are far beyond my knowledge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No. I didn’t ask these individuals what they thought or told them what I was thinking because what good would that do?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Moreover, it seemed more of the actions that put it into perspective that maybe I need to re-evaluate who I actually do let in my space, and who I choose to interact with consecutively or on occasion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I completely distanced myself altogether.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not just because of what I observed, or what I heard, or what I felt.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I wanted to dissect my train of thought.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To figure out whether or not I over analyzing or if i’m being too pessimistic and maybe need to give the individual(s) the benefit of the doubt.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But I ALWAYS give people in my life the benefit of doubt.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With spending time with myself and thinking about all the experiences I have had it was so unclear on where I stood with some people.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I decided to take situations for what they were and move according. Not that was what I wanted to do, but I found myself in such a different place of self.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wanting to jump away from anything that I felt like wasn’t putting me on the path of who I wanted be or aspired to be.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am tired of being predictable, I am tired of being in the same negative space, I am tired of not feeling loved by ones who are supposed to love me because I am me and because of the fact I love them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not because of what I have, or what I only do for them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It was a matter of what is real love and who is actually giving it…That question still rings in my head. I continue to apply it as I interact with my peers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My question for those who may have this struggle or those who are going through a life changing path.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you know the people in your life? Do you have reassurance that they care about you or love you?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you get off putting feeling when you get around certain people? If so, what would be your preferred method in addressing it?.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I hope you enjoy my personal experiences :).<\/p>\n
Please feel free to ask me any questions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
