Forcing yourself to like someone is just delayed disappointment with extra steps. Have you?

Took me a few seconds to realize you're on, guessing a treadmill? But yeah, great points to get across. The world is big, don't let toxic people make it small, let them go and move on.

Yup! Treadmill stream 😊

We have a quote for that "friendship/love is like a fart. If you have to force it, it's probably shit" xD

There are many that have manners but choose not to use them. Those just without are not present, and I believe have never been present in my circles. The ones taught it but choose to ignore it, those are the ones I tend to force myself to be cordial with, and force a cooperation. It innevitably does lead to the disproportionate amount of dissappointments in the end. Often the next thing that occurs is the label of being too impatient, "Give them a chance." They say.

My God, in this community, this is 100% something I wish they understood better.

Boundaries are a part of healthy relationships and etc.

Wise words! It's more important to focus on the people that are your friend then chasing after those that will never be.

Why do you talk like a Khajit with asthma

The inverse is also true; don't change to make others like you. You'll spend most of your life trying to be accepted by people who'd leave you behind if they knew how you really felt. Eventually, most people decide they don't want to hide. Don't lose yourself in the process.

I mean, I agree with the premise of not forcing yourself to like people. But tying manners to it seems silly. I like good manners, but I'm not planning on cutting out friendships just because someone is a bit casual.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Вообще "Через силу" что либо делать - сомнительная идея

How long do you treadmill because you are hufffing

I learned this from experience, made me realize that no matter how much I want to try to make that person like me it was ultimately never within my control to begin with. No amount of honeyed words or kind gestures would change that, was a lesson I learned hard

I've probably been the victim of this many times. Start of as friends and they send less and less messages till I just get no reply ever and ignored. No explanation as to why.

So here's the typical fuckin problem, its when party A & B get along well, but party C only likes party B, and I mean is way more loyal of a person. Party A didnt do anything except chat, and maybe have a bit of an awkward first impression to party C but party C holds adamngrudge

what about ourselves

You know, i don't usually see good advice in this place but the one time i do it is genuinely really good advice that is worth listening to! Much appreciated.

Good, i can be as crazy as i wanna be. vwv love being a crazy goober.
