A very strict rule I have is to only associate with people who genuinely want the best for me.
I do not care if the person is a family member or long time friend.
The second it becomes clear to me that they genuinely do not want me to succeed I cut them out.
No exceptions.
I recommend adopting the rule.
It will be lonely in the beginning, but eventually you surround yourself with the right people and life becomes so fucking beautiful you can’t even imagine.
I feel the same. I’ve been going through something similar during the past couple of years. Been a tough and lonely path at times but my life has improved significantly after cutting out toxicity.
Yes same
This is the only way. I want the best for all my people and my people are viciously curated. Viciously culled too.
The purge is real...
Unfortunately I had to layoff many friends and family the past couple years. On the bright side I started accepting new applications.
Building strong connections with healthy friendships that fully support you is so much more fulfilling, and increase your sense of belonging and purpose. 💜
Happy #pizzaday

100%. Thank you for saying what is often the quiet part, out loud.
It means a lot.
100% this.

any mercy for family members who „don‘t understand“ your way of life and therefore will naturally be more distant?
Distance is fine. Actively rooting against me trying to control me is an immediate DQ.
Well... lost the last family member today that I previously had any desire to interact with, but Hodl is right, gotta follow the rule. Was probably overdue
