Ever since 6th grade started I've had this image engraved in my mind saying that I have to meet everyone's expectations in order to be make friends. Throughout 7th grade this worked, I forced myself to cope with everyone's ideas and be positive about everything, this got me all the friends in the world, but I was not happy. In 8th grade I started to see the world more realisticly, some of my friends started pushing me away and no matter how hard I tried my 'good' wasn't good enough for them. So I slowy taught myself how to care less about the people who didn't care about me. I gradually became a lot happier as I found who my true friends were without having to fake my personality and do everything they say. I stayed away from 'toxic people'. I still smiled whenever they're around, say hi when they pass me in the halls, I even offer to buy them lunch sometimes but if they continue to push me away that's their problem not mine :)
