Be with those who celebrate you as opposed to those who tolerate you.
This awakened me recently to dismiss the facade of a relationship with people I grew up with who never reciprocated the kindness I showed as I thought of them often doing nice things and sending articles related to their life or family etc and it feels better than the trying that I've been passively pursuing without reciprocity.
Luckily I'm wired to enjoy my solitude as much as I enjoy interaction with people.
I've been kind to strangers with kindness returned as well as venom, humans 🤷
