This is golllld. Thanks for the sweet reminder of what to do to improve your friendships! That's one of my questions this year is "how can I be a better friend?" And this was timely. Appreciate you!
“The least lonely people in the world are the people who choose people first, rather than waiting to be chosen.”
“Choose them first.”
— I think in the last decade I been waiting to be chosen. I’m not quite sure why I thought or acted in such way. Many days felt lonely, but I also loved being alone. I’m now in a season of making the move first. Still unsure of the outcome. But remaining positive.
I really appreciate this piece. I struggle a lot with friendships and am often disappointed. Have you written anything on overcoming relational insecurity regarding friendship?
When you say relational insecurity, do you mean feeling insecure about how the other person feels about you/ their level of interest in being friends with you?

Great question to ask yourself! I hope this year is full of blossoming friendships for you!
Beautiful! Friendship is often put in the background, so I am happy there are people like you showing how important it truly is. Thanks 🙌🏼
And I believe proactivity is the key to Great relationships.
Thanks for your kind words Barbora! Totally agree with you about proactivity!

Hi Meredith! Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, exactly. Never trusting that people actually want to be friends with me, which in my case often leads to pulling away / self-sabotage.
You should read some of Alfred Adlers work just your introduction touches on some of his work.
