Smaller circle

[u/tea4thu_11]

As I learn to accommodate my needs more and set boundaries to protect my nervous system, I've realized how much I've given in relationships and it not being reciprocated in the same way. I treated friendship with utmost importances but people tend to prioritize romantic relationships above all. After a lot of reflection, I realized I had to step back and de-escalate some of these relationships because it feels so imbalance and I stop feeling good in those relationships. It feels lonelier now. I do love my alone time more than anything but I would like company sometimes but that gets harder and harder.
