your best friend is yourself

living life is realising that people will care about you to some extent but you won't be their #1 thing in their mind. they light just text you if they see something funny to share with ya while some others will know their everyday life

and you might feel alone and crap. Like people never cares enough about you, that your expectations are never met. Or worse : that people always have a favorite person and it's never you.

the only one that cares about you to an extreme amount is yourself. 

fun thing is you will always be here for yourself (you don't have a say in the matter anyway)



so treat yourself like the best friend you wanted. give people some space without breaking your own heart. gift yourself stuff, be indulgent, don't break yourself into nasty habit


you'd never treat a friend like you treat yourself. yet you are the most importent person in your life. i mean you are you and your life resolve around you


if the world doesn't then make your life about yourself and treat yourself nicely. there's so much more years to live, you wouldn't want to live them on such bad relationship with yourself. That won't solve your every problem but it can solve at least quite a bit. better than nothing

Very much true. I struggle with this idea encompassing every action I take. Because you are your only lifetime friend, I wonder, "what's the point in asking for help? making friends?", because I feel that everyone going to leave eventually or they're going to judge when I ask for help, or can't do something. Of course, that leads me to making mistakes and slipping up and people have little to no empathy because they don't know me, because I never reach out, because what's the point if I'm going to be my only friend forever. I don't like reaching out because I fear I'll develop the habit of relying on people, and I'll look/feel incredibly stupid when I need help and there is nobody who can and/or want to, because I should've known better at that point.

i think it's more about how much you let it affect your everyday life. like you need people because we are social and we need connection. But it's all about accepting some may be temporary but a wonderful journey and some might stay forever. Also if you fear giving too much and getting too little you can try to treat people based on how they treat ya so you don't chase after someone who probably just wanna chit chat for good fun;
