If someone in your life makes you feel uncomfortable and insecure every time you are with him or her, no matter the reason, they probably don’t deserve a spot in your life. If they make you feel like you can’t be yourself, or if they make you feel “less than” in any way, don’t pursue the relationship. If you feel emotionally drained after spending time with them or feel anxiety when you are reminded of them, listen to your intuition.
Don’t jeopardize your dignity and self-respect by trying to make someone accept, love and appreciate you when they have proven that they are incapable of doing so.
When you leave the wrong people behind, the right things start happening. When you make room in your life for people that know your worth, you open the door for people who inspire you to be your best.

You seem to post what I need to hear! This is how I have felt the last 3 years over a friendship of 30+ years that had changed over time! I finally had to love myself more and let go of an unhealthy so called friendship. It was tough being a Christian and putting myself first. I can walk away knowing I tried and said everything I could to save it. Thank you for being a big part of helping me know I did the right thing for me!
