Why You Have No Friends

Having no friends is better than having toxic friends.

Why You Have No Friends
SheKnows

You have no friends because you are tired of trying. You are tired of being the one that cares the most. You’re tired of reaching out to someone, who has no response in return. You can’t be sitting waiting for that text back, that call back, that snap back. Because this pressure will kill you inside.

You are a fighter, but only inside. People think you are such a sweet person that they can walk all over you and tell you what to do. But you can’t live that life. You are meant for so much more in life than to be someone else’s doormat.

You are strong and do not need this. You don’t need someone who doesn’t need you. You don’t need to impress anyone, or boast about yourself, or open up to anyone about anything you don’t want to open up about.

You are fierce. You have seen it all, the people, the excuses, the lies. And you’re tired. You’re tired of trying and not getting anything back. You’re tired of people not respecting you as a person when there is no reason for them not to.

You are a warrior. You are beautiful, and friendly, and caring. You care more than they care, and that’s not fair. You feel like you need to act a certain way for people to like you. That is not true. You may need to act a certain way for these people to like you.

You are unstoppable. You have gone through too many friends to count, and some are now only acquaintances. How can someone you used to spend every day with become a distant reflection of your past?

You are bare. You feel like people have seen and battered all of you. But these people know nothing about you. These people know you as the weak, pathetic and dull person that you are not. These people do not know you. They know a person that was you, a person that you are not anymore.

You are evolving. You are learning who you are. And you don’t want to be known as the person that they think you are.

You are brave. You have learned to let people go, and learn from people instead of letting them hurt you. You may think you’re feeling numb to this hurt, but you’re really just getting stronger.

You have all the time in the world. But right now, these people have no hold over you because you control your own actions and emotions. You need to be your own friend and no one else’s.

You are free. You have no friends because you are your best friend. And anyone would be lucky to call you their best friend.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
