We wait for those perfect few friends to come along, and then we look for them to play so many roles in our lives. We look to them to be everything to us.
FYI: I don’t do this. It goes back to what I said about looking for people to complete you - don’t. This is part of why I take new friendships super slow. I figure out how this person fits in with me before I expect anything of them. Because not everybody is the right person to tell when you just got a bad diagnosis or just found out your husband has been cheating on you for a year. Better to understand the limitations of your friends *before* you need them for a crisis.
