If you have to force conversations, run.

If this person doesnt take the chance to get to know you fully, get out.

Relationships should be mutual.

But Ive begun to realize that this is generally not the case.

Some people take time to know and grow on you, but you also shouldnt force things.

If youre forcing something from the beginning, you will never really know where you stand with someone.

The only thing that can happen from that point on is disappointment.

When starting a new relationship, tread lightly.

If you have to force conversations, run.

If this person doesnt take the chance to get to know you fully, get out.

Relationships should be mutual.

Interest shows in our actions or inactions.

Learn to recognize the signs of someone who wants you versus someone who has a passing interest in you.

This also comes to friendships.

If your friendship begins to feel forced, its time to let it go.

Ask yourself, How is this friendship serving me?

Is it benefiting me?

What am I getting out of this?

Be truthful to yourself.

Dont waste time on halfway people.

Dont be a halfway person either.

Stop wasting precious time on people that dont matter.

So many people are out there.

Ones who will value you.

Wait and find these people.

Theyre out there, probably looking for someone just like you.

So ditch that friend who never bothers to ask how you are.

End the relationship that constantly leaves you questioning your worth.
