They Can't Handle Expensive Things

Ironically, it can seem like their are very few genuine, loyal people - because they are tied up with people who see them as a commodity to be used up and disposed of. We're all imperfect, we all have baggage and issues. My poo stinks as much as the next guy, but there's a difference between working through challenges, being patient, and offering tolerance vs. liking/loving a person with the same level of dedication that we might have to a trendy object of our affection.

PLAY REEL

One of the new filters I'm trying to activate is, if someone tells me "I'm too much," then they are not for me, because they are clearly saying, "they are not enough." They don't have what it takes to grow and learn along side of me. This isn't just relevant in a romantic relationship... this could be a family member, a "friend," an employer, etc.

I had an ah ha moment with my counselor when he created pause and helped me process that some people just aren't that deep. Some people are really comfortable functioning at a surface level in all areas of their life. They aren't looking to be better, do better, etc. My current thought is, this type of person will never be able to enjoy or value me and my beautiful mess, because I will be an inconvenience. And, I will always be sorely disappointed with their lack of interest in growing to the next level; emotionally, spiritually, physically, financially, etc.

If COVID taught us anything, it's no matter if you're an introvert or inward thinker, isolation and the sense of being alone is pure torture. Let's not do this alone!
