Hey loves and Welcome Back to Joi’s Journey of Perception
Have you ever been taken aback by someone who you thought was your friend? Like the ending of the friendship caught you by surprise? I’ve had that happen by people who I thought were genuinely my friend. I was watching a TikTok and it brought back bad emotions about the series of events.

I’ve liked the video below
I was watching a TikTok and the discussion was about a girl giving advice on how you should pay attention to how people look at you. And this rings true and so many levels. There are certain people who pretend to be your friends even though deep down they are just hating. Being proximity to you is helping them but if that runs dry they will be gone and be talking about you negatively. There are so many people who are jealous of you when all you have good intentions for them.
Jealousy
eal·ous·y/ˈjeləsē/
Learn to pronounce noun
- the state or feeling of being jealous.”a sharp pang of jealousy”
Perspective
A lot of people will literally try to mimic how you are because that’s the person they truly are trying to be. No don’t give me wrong there are a lot of people you are friends with within their traits that you really like and you hope to have illustrated as well. This is not a bad thing because you should hang around people who you admire. However, there is a covert narcissist who will learn your weaknesses to eventually use them against you. This is why you need to be careful of who you allow in your space and with who you share your energy. Not everyone has the best intention for you and sometimes they forget that they are using you.
I think if you notice the energy shift you should do an audit on your friendship. Sometimes you outgrow friendships and people start changing and having nasty energy toward you. So as well for yourselves if you want to continue this friendship every once in a while. I have outgrown friendships where Eden in mutually. Turns out they were just using me for the proximity I had with people they had a crush on. That kind of sucks because the friendship was actually good in my eyes. Too bad it turned out that it was all upfront.
Quality Over Quantity
I have always been the type of person to be careful with who I call Friend and who I let in my space. Because I’ve seen how people who are secretly jealous of you end up betraying you. It is better to have good quality friends who genuinely want what’s best for you versus having a lot of friends who are there for a good time but not for a long time.

Do you plan on doing any spring cleaning for any of your friendships? Let me know that below and also let me know what type of topics you guys would like me to speak on! Don’t forget to like, comment, share, and describe! That would really mean the most to me. I will see you all in the next post❤️
