Ppl often say they wanna be my friend... here’s the thing. I’ve had to learn throughout my life that I’m an asset. It’s doesn’t matter who it is, what the relationship is, or how long it lasts. If you get to know me personally, you will evolve in some way.

Because of that, I don’t “make friends” because people don’t know what “friends” are. They see me as a resource, they want to get close, and are very rarely operating on a level that makes the exchange mutual.

I’ll say something that awakens a part of them... now they wanna be friends... I help them with something “they need a friend like me.”... ppl tend to express their desire to be my “friend” after realizing that I can do something for them.

Tho it’s not intentional & it’s not malicious, it’s true, and it’s dehumanizing. Ppl want to pick my brain, ppl want to attach themselves to me so I can help them, they want insight & readings, guidance... but rarely friendship.

They expect that I always have the answers, that I always have it together, always have the shoulder.. the strong friend.. and I’ve learned that my energy is best spent choosing my own tribe.

So no offense if you’re trying to connect & befriend me and feel like I’m not open to it, but I’m not. You might not be able to see it b/c it’s not intentional, but you don’t wanna be my friend, you want to have access.. & that’s not what I need.
