Not every connection is meant to last, or even be close. In therapy, one key insight is learning to accept that some people are supportive for certain seasons, and that’s okay. Trying to force every relationship or seeking universal approval often drains energy and fosters resentment.
Identify relationships that feel mutual vs. draining.
Give yourself permission to step back from people who don’t support your growth.
Remember: you don’t need to like everyone, and not everyone needs to like you.
Healthy boundaries and selective energy investment create space for meaningful, long-term connections.
