In the past few months i've started realizing how relieving it feels to accept my friends' flaws.
I've never been a very social person but i've always been conscious about it, i don't make a lot of friends not because i'm avoidant but because I hardly ever find people i get comfortable around.
I made a few friends when i changed schools and started taking it differently compared to the past friendships, i wanted to be more positive and give good energy no matter what.
As time went by i started coming across their flaws, and it made me a bit insecure, not knowing how to deal with it properly. I forced myself to think they were ok because, i HAVE to accept them as they are.
At a certain point I started questioning myself if those behaviours were toxic, so if was in a toxic friendship but was refusing to accept it.
But i wasn't looking at the whole thing. Were those flaws worth ending a friendship or were my friends enough comfortable around me to show their weaknesses? I started thinking about how stressful it is to show your flaws to people, not knowing if they'll still love you after you show yourself. Instead of being angry, look at them like they achieved a goal. Think about how much of a good person you are, you made those people feel so safe enough to take their masks off. "I love you, even if.." though you have flaws, i still love you because i know my affort will be worth it, even if you don't show me love the way i'd want, i still love you becaouse i know you're different from me. Even if i can't see it i'll still feed you my love, whether you receive it or not.
As soon as you accept people's flaws it will be easier for yourself to show your flaws and insicurities.
If they don't accept them, that's when you're coming across an unheathy relationship. I took the first step and fought to still accept you, all of you. If you don't accept me as well, i'm not willing to give you my energy anymore.
Soul connection is real, beware who you share yourself with,,
