I (16F) have recently realized that I am too reliant on my best friend. I used to be very independent, but after we became close, I started being too attached—choosing what I do based on her schedule and deciding what jobs to apply for, etc. I'd like to make more friends and get back into how I used to be. Not sure where to start. I'm not going to lie, being a trans woman makes it challenging to make non-LGBTQ+ friends because I'm afraid of what they will think about me, especially at my school. Kind of daunting. I just wanted to get this off my chest. Anything would help.

I understand. As a therapist, I feel right now you might be doing something called as people pleasing: bending over backwards for someone and compromising on your own priorities. Read about assertiveness. It’s a technique which can help you say no in a firm yet gentle manner. Basically, to give you a gist: maintain eye contact, and with a neutral expression and tone, say whatever is there in your mind. Don’t be too passive, aggressive or even passive- aggressive. Be assertive.

Sometimes we meet with wrong people but seems to to be connected or attracted because of our numbers, ex; same date of birth, destiny number, name number, same birth month and so on.. In case you are one of them, I would suggest you to share yours and your friend's name, date of birth etc so that o can guide you with the best solution..

It can happen and is quite natural. You don't need to overthink. Let things go with flow. Don't put extra efforts to create new friends. Let it be, you are not doing anything wrong

Ofcourse, why wouldn't you get friends ? So what if u r a LGBTQ, you have not done a crime. There is place for everyone in this world. Don't stress girl you will surely find ur tribe.

Maybe just because you think it is difficult for you to make good friends being a transwoman, you are sticking on to her. You are a human being and a women first, do not let other labels define your identity atleast in your mind. When you are able to break free of it in your mind, you will be able to interact with others with more ease. So please be comfortable about it, and gain your confidence back, the more you are with this friend, the more you will delay this process. As to work on this will push you out of your comfort. so please take the charge of your life in your hands.

How do we break free and be ourselves without feeling like total outcasts? I wanna chase my own dreams and live life on my own terms, but I also don't want to feel isolated from everyone else. Are there ways to resist societal norms and still have a good squad of girlfriends by your side?
Anonymous16d
just be yourself as much as possible, your kind of people will find you
Hello , If you truly want to achieve something don’t think about society norms and true ones will be with no matter what without thinking much if it’s deviant from societal norms . Be confident Be you 🌸

I've noticed my close group of friends can get quite competitive with each other at times. They'll one-up each other's accomplishments, make snide remarks about jobs/appearances, and there's an underlying tension of trying to be the "best" friend. Is this typical competitive behavior that happens in female friendships or is this level of passive aggression a red flag?
So even I have my girl gang and we are a trio. We definitely have way many arguments and conflicts however we never had this thing to be ahead of each other. We always wished to get success together. So I think this is definitely a red flag and u should avoid being a part of such group

I have personally dealt with such things and have come to conclusion that it's female nature

Bu ara belirsizlikle seni ne zorluyor? sımsıkı yapıştığımız belirsizlikler,sorunlar,kutlamalar biliyorum ki kafanı yoruyor,huzursuz ediyor.Haklısın. Belirsizlik içimizi tedirgin eden bir durum. O anlara saklı bir hediye var o da özgürleşme seçimi. Özgürleşme kapısı; değişimle ve belirsizlikle barışmak. Hayatın kendisi değişim. Bebek,ergen,genç, yetişkin, geçişlerimizde hep değiştik.Her şey belirsizdi ve bak şimdi burdayız. Çok korktuğumuz sınavlar da bitti, okullar da, evlere de çıktık, ilk maaşımızı da aldık, bunlar gibi bir çok örnekte hep belirsizlikle başbaşaydık. Kalbinde kaygı ve belirsizlik yoğunsa “Özgürleşmeye Niyet et” ve tekrar et ki “Bu günler gibi bir sürü deneyimden geçtim ve hepsinden özgürleştim,şu anda da bunun içindeki özgürleşmeyi görmeye niyet ediyorum. büyük değişimler içinde özgürleşmeyi fark etsen kim olurdun? #özgürleşmek #motivasyon #yaşamkoçluğu #farkındalık

Ben daha 1 hafta önce küçük bir değişim için özgürleşmeyi başardım✨💫 eşim, biraz sağlık durumumdan dolayı biraz da kendisi istemediği için dolgu, botoksa karşı çıkıyordu. Ben de doktorumdan izin alarak gidip yaptırdım. Eşim benle 1 gün konuşmadı🥲 ben üzerimdeki gizli prangaları kırıp özgürleştim. O da bana sonrasında uyum sağladı😌

often struggle to assert myself in my maI'm Radha, and I'm Radha, and I'm stuck in a toxic relationship. I know I need to leave, but I'm scared of being alone. @Preetha_Balakrishnan
what is important is self-care. If you know that you are not able to take care of yourself you will not be able to take care of others. Whether it's your spouse, or child. As me tioned above, support from a professional is also good, apart from friends and family. Separation is one of toughest and most stressful. However, if the toxicity has reached a stage that it mental and physical abuse, you might want to seek help, before you decide.
Anonymous13d
It's important to prioritize your well-being and safety above all else. If you feel scared to leave, consider reaching out to trusted friends, family members, or a support group for guidance and emotional support.Remember, you deserve to be in a healthy and respectful relationship.

Kadın Kadının Kurdudur = Yanlış Kadın Kadının Yurdudur =Doğru Elinize kumandayı alın ve herhangi bir kanalı açın. Kadının kadına düşman olarak gösterilmediği bir program bulmak neredeyse imkansızdır. Bu ne kadar gerçeği yansıtıyor canlar ? Dizilerden programlara, yarışmalara, hatta çocukların oynadığı oyunlara kadar her yerde kadının kadına düşmanlığını alt etme çabasını görüyoruz. Sahiplerinin çoğunlukla erkekler olduğu kanallar, medya kuruluşları bunlar. Kendi adıma ben buna katılmıyorum. Kadınlar, benim kızkardeşlerim, yoldaşım, sırdaşım, dostumdur. Ne zaman düşsem, bir kadın eli uzanmış, ne Zaman sıkışsam bir kadın yardıma koşmuş, ne zaman ağlasam biri gözyaşımı paylaşmış, acımı azaltmış, sevincimi çoğaltmıştır. Siz bu konuda ne düşünüyorsunuz cânım kadınlar? #dayanışma #kadındayanışması #kadınlar

World is full of bullies.. they can be anywhere in colleges, workplace, family. spot the bully and give it back to them & move on.. Bullies don’t care if u are pretty or not they just like to bully the weak , so you gotta learn to stand up tor yourself girl 💪🏼

I am a mother and an educator in charter schools and ABC Youth Foundation. I host several podcast it's a huge passion of mine and I also produce I strongly feel that empathy is the glue of humanity and without it what do we have for understanding one another and being kind toward one another is what keeps Us human it's what makes it work and without it what can possibly get better you must hold on to that and remember and show it where it's needed so that people can know what it is and be able to show that same to others connecting and growing with others is within the foundations of empathy that's how the world gets better so we can understand we don't have to directly know one another we must be that change and it starts with us, we must be the change we want to see!more
