Friendships, Part 2. I used to struggle with a lot of codependence and enmeshment in my relationships and friendships. I used to go after emotionally reserved people, or people who seemed really cool, or people who seemed like they needed help being fixed. I used to do their part in the friendship, along with my part, and carry heavy bitterness and resentment that I didn't discuss with them. These days, I'm learning to let people be who they are and where they are. I'm learning to let people be where they're at. I'm learning to try and not fix or save people. I'm learning to value myself enough to honor my own boundaries, and not do more than I have the capacity to do. My friendships are getting better. I've lost a lot of the unhealthy friendships. I'm maintaining the friendships that are important to me. And I'm building new friendships with people who are willing to reciprocate the effort.
