|#6. THE ONE ABOUT CHOOSING TO LEAVE MISALIGNED FRIENDSHIPS.

I recently discovered that I have a few friends in my life that are low capacity people, specifically in the way they chose to see me.

I'm easier to be digested as the mature one, the strong one and I get oversimplified a lot. And even when I point it out, it's dismissed and they choose to go with the version of me that is digestible.

The issue with that is I feel erased and I don't want to exist in that dynamic anymore.

So I'm choosing to see this as a capacity problem on their end and not an -I'm too much problem on my end- even though they project that on me often.

I have now declassified them as friends into acquaintances and I don't view them as villains- just recognize the misalignment.
