Considering the “compliment” game I just posted in here…this is somewhat ironic.
But I realized today that there are people in my life who mostly seem to exist to make me feel badly about myself. And I started to wonder: why do I keep these people around? There aren’t that many of them, but seriously…what’s the point?
I have a friend who is very supercilious – I don’t think this friend is that way with me alone, however, I have seem this friend be the exact opposite to people that they clearly consider to be, I don’t know, good at what they do, or smart, or cool, or whatever.
This friend second-guesses everything I do, and constantly seems to go out of their way to make me feel inferior. So why would I go out of my way to spend time with them? It accomplishes nothing for me, except to make me feel really angry. And that’s not good.
So I don’t make resolutions, but I am resolving now to do my best to cut people like this out of my life. I have too many fantastic people in my life who are good for me – I shouldn’t waste any time or energy with a situation that just makes me feel bad about myself.
