Everybody isn’t you friend. Just because they hang around you and laugh with you doesn’t mean they’re for you. Just because they say they got your back, doesn’t mean they won’t stab you in it. People pretend well. Jealousy sometimes doesn’t live far. So know your circle. 💯
Some people are really just chameleons. No real sense of who they are, just constantly blending in with whatever hype, crowd or moment they're in. Different environment, different personality. I'll never understand living without a solid sense of self.
Once you cut people out of your life, you need to become very comfortable with them talking bad and making things up about you. They will fill your silence and your absence with stories that make them feel better about losing access to you. People rarely take accountability when it's easier to paint you as the villain.
