Everybody is NOT your Friend

📌📬Everybody is NOT your friend.

I’m a social person. I love people. My employment track record clearly shows this. I’ve worked in customer service, and health care and became a community engagement rep to serve my community.

However, it has occurred to me that I have NEVER been that girl with a huge circle. I don’t let many into my personal space. Why? This protects my sanity and peace.

I have plenty of associates but I only have two people who I call an absolute friend. I’ve also made a few of my blood sisters my go-to girls. So when I think about it I have been unconsciously aware until someone brings it up or I am sitting in my thoughts.

Well, today I was sitting in my thoughts. I don’t have to worry about the negativity, the stress, and the chaos of having so many people around me who I think are my friends when they really aren’t. I find women to be “messy” and therefore I do not put myself in a position to have to check anyone because I WILL. I eliminate the drama before it has a chance to come my way.

So when I look at females who have “clicks” or ” BFF groups” I just silently say to myself, I pray for your strength and sanity because there will always be one person in that group who doesn’t want you to prosper more than them, low-key isn’t happy for your success and or achievements, want what you have and contemplating how to get it, backstab you or manipulate a situation and negatively influence you.

The point: 👉 make sure you KNOW who you surround yourself with. When you get to a point where things are bleak that means you have outgrown your group. It’s ok to surround yourself with new people who will push you beyond where you are right now. Everybody is not your friend. 💯
