I Believe In Quality Not Quantity Of True Friends

When I was in middle and high school, I thought I had so many friends. People wanted to walk with me in the hallways, come over to my house, hang out, etc. Then one day I realized they only wanted to be "friends" with me so they could get closer to my brothers if they were females and the dudes thought I would be easy. Half of those people didn't know my name and honestly, I didn't know theirs either. As I got older, I told myself I didn't want to be around many people who were my so called friends and I just cut them off. I have one Bestie and we have known each for years and will always have each others back. I have three other friends as well, but there is nothing like your best friend

Sounds like a typical social upbringing. I've had similar experiences. There were people who wanted to only 'be friends' to get a ride from me to go to my cousins house. Lol... Or because I always was the kid to have chewing gum for some reason haha. But as I've grown older I kinda lost my willingness & interest to want to connect with many, circumstances and choices. Because of the conditioning; will I be a means to an end to this person or will it actually be worth my while to see this through?

I have a few whom I talk to almost regularly, online that is. Offline seldom nowadays since people have gone their own ways and schedules don't permit. But, I will say in the end, it is worth it to allow others in because not all are wanting something from you, or want to take advantage of you. There are those who actually want to enhance you and share in what you have to offer, thus making your life more richer & meaningful, worth your time here. It's with anything, balancing out the good and the bad, discerning things better.

Things get clearer given time and space to heal and do you're own thing for a while. Then it feels as if having to relearn or get reintroduced to things in ways it seems. It does get better though馃挄馃尭馃挄馃尭馃挄

I used to have two good friends but we've separated and rarely ever talk. I kinda wish I had something similar like before, but at the same no.
