Is it friendship or a game of control

I don't think that this is what friendships or relationships or friendships exist for. I really think it's teamwork. You be vulnerable to me, I be myself and vulnerable to you. We work or we stay in this together just like buddies. Why does it have to be a game of control? Why does it have to be one of us who has to be dominant and condescending? Can we not just be friends?

And then as you meet more people and your Horizons are brought in, you realize that the more authentic you are, the more true to yourself you are, the more you put yourself out there. You attract the kind of people that you really want in your life. And the circle does get smaller, but it gets deeper. And I can only say that over the years, I have been able to develop really meaningful friendships
Think about why people want other people to do things. Why do people need other people to do things? They're right now is a great example. Think about that. Like in security producing control

Hi. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And I'm glad that you can resonate with us. Yes, I agree to a great extent that we attract and we get what we attract. To have toxic people in your life, it is very easy and to have people who are looking for control or in some way they want you to be their puppet. Those people are easy to find as well. And when it comes to having friendships where sharing experiences and learning happens, that is a very rich experience

And with the experience with this relationship going a little too far and getting a little too old, we didn't sort of see true colors or we didn't sort of realize that this always was meant to be, that this person has that opportunity to sort of put you down and show you that you're less than I'm not sure if it comes with age or experience or does this person actually have an agenda because there are so many people out there who are just waiting to France at a chance of dominating over somebody
