Day #27: A problem you have had.
A problem that I have been struggling with is how to be nice when a friend isn't reciprocating that niceness. I am a total people pleaser and when someone is at all unhappy with me, or I think they are unhappy with me I have a really hard time wanting to be close to them.
College is extremely busy and with such busy schedules, clashes are bound to happen. I am the kind of person who drops everything, no matter what I have going, when someone asks to hang out with me. Though this is occasionally determental to my study life, I have a lot of fun and I feel better when I can be a friend to someone.
Because of the busy, clashing schedules some people don't make time for others like I do, which I understand but it also often hurts my feelings. I have been trying to combat this, but it gets really hard sometimes.
Throughout this year I have built up a tougher skin and have realized that not everyone can be your best friend. Also, I have been trying to focus on all the people I do have that drop anything for me. God has truly blessed me and He has also been working on my character as I learn to not take things personally.
