The one thing to just honestly be considerate of is you can’t be friends with everyone, nor can you be liked by everyone. There’s going to be people coming into your life that you aren’t going to get along well with. In the end, the most you can do is try to be civil until things just don’t work out to the point you feel the need to distance yourself from them. Some people aren’t good for you.

Some of my college friends may be friends for life. It depends on where we go and if they or me decide to move.

If it works out that way, great. If they’re still in your life 30 years from now, awesome. But you never know. You might get a lifelong friend from somewhere you least expect.

I've tried FaceTiming a lot of my Calvin University friends today. Most of them didn't answer. My guess is either they were busy or they only FaceTime people they are super close with.

Different people have different comfort levels.

One of them actually said "I would rather not FaceTime", so that one I can almost certainly say is just not comfortable FaceTiming me in general.

I only got one I actually did FaceTime with, and we had a long 10 minute conversation.

2 others said they would later.

I tried with 11 people so far.

I will try more later. One of them I already texted a few times this week so I'm going to wait until Wednesday to give her some space because I don't want to annoy her. I am going to try to FaceTime all the rest of them eventually because it's a good way to catch up. Hopefully most of them will answer eventually, but if they don't, at least I will see most of their faces in the fall like I said so that will be nice.

Maybe I shouldn't have tried FaceTiming so many people in one day. But I can't change the past. I just might get bombarded with FaceTime calls today.

I recently lost a friendship over some very small petty reasons which really upset me as her and I were very close and then suddenly..... bam. Out of her life. I did wish her all the best in the end but it’s something I’m still trying to get over myself.

In the end, all I can say is you’re unfortunately going to lose friends as you get older, sometimes through personal ties being cut or just going your separate ways. It hurts if you felt close to someone, certainly, but the best you can do is just be grateful you got to spend some time with them and let your wounds heal as the days go on.
It hurts to lose friends, especially when you actually lose them because they dislike you now. But I know that even if I do lose friends and get hurt by it, I will be okay in the end.

I'm working on telling myself that even if bad things happen in my life that hurt me, in the end everything will be okay. Because it will.

We will get emotionally hurt in life. Everybody does. People may betray us, say something that is really cruel, and break promises, Those are the people you just have to walk away from. It hurts to cut toxic people out of your life that you were previously close with, but it's worth it end the end.

But even when these things happen, it's never the end of the world. Life goes on and we're okay.

We all have had moments where we had "fake friends" in our lives that we thought were genuine and the nicest people, but in the end they turn out to be jerks. Those are the people we must cut out of our lives.

It always hurts when that happens, but we're okay in the end. Life goes on and we make new friends that actually are genuine.

True friendship is rare and hard to come by. Most people in this world are fake. If you can find 2-4 true genuine friends, that's all you need.

Lucky are those who have true friendships in this fake world.

Especially with God on my side, he gives me the strength to get through the tough times.

At the end of the day, the best thing to do is occupy your mind as you let your wounds heal. That’s how I try and get through those times.
I like to go for hard runs when I'm stressed. I'm a runner though.

I also like talking to trusted people about my situation.

Life is short, so we should enjoy it every moment we have. We will all die someday.

Only God knows when we will die. It could be any time.

You or I could get in a car accident, get a heart attack, cancer, or a stroke, the world could end today, etc.

Take every moment for granted and enjoy every moment.

Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Give your anxieties and troubles to God and he will take care of them. Then enjoy your life.

You aren't going to be happy 100% of the time, but try to be happy as often as you can. It will benefit you.

Life isn't easy, it's full of ups and downs, but make the best of it because your life will end before you know it!

I just got kicked off of discord for saying something

I have autism and I don’t always know what’s appropriate to say and what isn’t.

I rejoined for trying to explain myself and I got kicked off again for simply telling them I have autism and I don’t always know what’s appropriate to say and what isn’t.

I didn’t even do anything wrong the second time!

They won’t believe me but I’m telling the truth! How can I get them to believe me and understand!

I feel so attacked and they have no mercy or c on there!!!!!!

I didn’t even get a fair chance to explain myself!!!!!!!!

I feel like I got an unfair punishment. If I knew better I wouldn’t have done what I did.

At least on here some of you understand me.

Not all of you understand me, but I’m thankful for the ones that do so that way I don’t get banned on here.
