Hi, I hope to join your free readings if it's alright. My initials are IEKA. Here's my question: what's the bigger picture about my friendship with the two other girls I'm usually with in grad school? A little context is all my life I've never been the type to have long-term friendships, but always found myself wishing for one. I just want to see what the energy of our dynamics would show. Thank you <33
Iām getting that these are the kind of people who, if you stop talking to them/donāt respond in a certain period of time, or potentially say no to something like a hang out, they may question you, get mad, or look at you weirdly.. Donāt exclude or get mad at others if this happens, they may be drained or need time alone, or to recharge. Or, an unreciprocated emotional connection. I would not allow either of these people to take anything from you that they donāt return back. Like copying work, etc.. They may tell other people not to talk to u anymore if u donāt return their transactional superficial favors..
Unreciprocated favors or emotional support, feeling drained or annoyed after hanging out with them. If one gets mad at you for trying to do certain stuff, or forming your own relationship together on your own, you may want to give them the boot..
I would say someone here may be manipulative, and transactional, and you may not want to speak with them anymore. They could have the potential to mess up your relationships with other people, or cause you to feel emotionally drained, or someone involved does.
If they do not respond to u for a long time, do the same back. Donāt give them your energy, or even emotional support, etc, if they do not do the same back. Do not allow them to publish your work without asking or copy your creative ideas. Give them the same energy. And be aware when other people do not like you, or when something is not your place.. Be aware, this is about a situation where, someone may try to get somebody else to give them, or do something for them, or try to force an outcome that, doesnāt want to happen naturally. You canāt make someone do something that, they donāt feel, or that they donāt want to do. It may become emotionally draining or exhausting. Just to walk with, just to sit with, when weāre not REALLY friends like that, sort of situation..
So, do not support uneven dynamics within friendships, or feel that it is your responsibility to over extend yourself especially emotionally, fix, explain, or do certain things, things that may not feel right to you, etc, or an unreciprocated emotional connection. Donāt let this person talk to you again, and donāt give them anything that THEY donāt do. Things may eventually lead to a burn out or a falling out. Some people need space or space for their other relationships, or the rest of their life, and be allowed to feel how they feel and remember what they remember. Or, their OWN friend, OWN memories, OWN life, etc. It may be deeper than that for some people.. Some things, just run their course, and not everyone is interested in continuing to keep people at bay to copy their work, creative ideas, etc. Warning against forcing outcomes, and allowing people to move on to their new point in life. If you feel drained or unreciprocated efforts, itās ok to just block people. And not let people make you feel like you owe them something, or allow to copy ur work, or just to walk with, sit with. If you are looking for more, I would keep my personal business to myself, and not allow people to force you into a transactional, emotionally and spiritually draining relationship. If something doesnāt want to happen on its own, donāt force it and let things run their course.
They may honestly not be your friends like that, and may be fake.. So donāt give them anything that they donāt give you. If you feel unreciprocated emotional efforts, or they feel entitled to 24/7 access to you or ur energy/help/advice, canāt spend any time away from them or they start trying you, etc, I would not allow them to speak to you anymore. Or make you feel like u have to give them something you donāt want to.. Possibly feelings that arenāt there, or unreciprocated feelings involved.. Or something may happen where, you may want to check in with THEM, if someone ELSE tries to come into the mix, and mess it up. Keeping in mind that, other people have their own relationship, or may have a more closer connection/relationship with each other, besides the group or other people who they may know. Possibly, YOU should beware to have your OWN mind..
Donāt give them anything that they donāt give you, and donāt let them make you feel like you have to do anything you donāt feel for something that, isnāt there.
