I think one of the healthiest things I’ve ever learned is that you should allow others to reintroduce themselves to you, even your closest friends. Give people space to become who they are without assuming you know who they are just bc you’ve been friends/family for years
Be happy that only a few chosen people know and can truly see who you really are.
Let others guess, make up stories, get lost in their own illusions, distortions and fabrications.
That reality is their creation.
You stay present in yours.
You could quite literally create anything with your life and we get stuck in patterns that bring us no joy or satisfaction. And people really do this for YEARS with no change 😮💨
