I remember when I had this friend who loved to make jokes at my expense. A great friend, but every joke was an indirect insult. Every “joke” made me feel small but I kept enduring it. After a while, we lost touch.
When we reconnected a few years down the line, it was the same story all over again. But this time, I was already more secure in my identity so I spoke up. I mentioned how I felt about those “jokes” and this person basically said the “jokes” and the friendship were a package deal: l couldn’t have one without the other.
So guess what I did?
I threw the entire package away! That was the end of that friendship.
What are your energy drainers? Your joy drainers? Your confidence drainers? Your peace drainers?
Don’t make excuses for them anymore. Do what you have to do, in order to protect what matters most to you!
