wait, can you pleeeease talk more about not wanting ppl to feel threatened by you?? I've been a little confused as to why I feel that way, but I'm sure part of it is to avoid any potential conflict or discord or rupture. I assume it's because my mom is incredibly insecure and projects so I was probably bruising her ego easily as a child, but I don't really remember.

my New Year's Resolution last year was to make friends "that don't bore me" because being like "friends I ACTUALLY like" felt too harsh to admit to myself 😆but it's true!!

I've definitely stayed in friendships for too long that were draining or where I knew we were not compatible. Often times it came from a feeling of "I wish someone would give me a chance", until I learned that I would be fine without them. No more bending myself to get someone else to like me!

Literally auditioning in friendships and relationships to see if I could handle it. Whole time, it’s draining the life out of me.

💯 there’s also the flipside - where people want to be your friend not because they like you, not because they value you but because they are threatened by you and want to be like you …. They want to know what it is you have that makes people drawn to you ….

100% accurate, relationships and friendships. I've found myself in multi year relationships because I went on a single date with them and felt bad saying no

I sense when other people do that, and I quietly walk away from them. Like me for me or don't like me at all.

Completely agree, you often make friends with those whose disapproval you most fear

This is true for me with coworkers. I’m also autistic and tend to end up in mobbing situations. So in a way, it IS true that I need to form those relationships for safety/not getting fired.

Went through a really bad friendship/situation like this, got out of it six months ago and I’m still trying to recover. I had made so much progress before this friendship healing/stopping these childhood tendencies then I became friends with those people and I feel like I’ve reverted to when I was a scared little girl again and I’m stuck. My nervous system is so stuck.

Yes yes yes I had little discernment when dating in my 20s. I always cared more about the other person liking me than the other way around. So glad this is changing for me now.
