Bible Study
One thing I have struggled with most of my life is pleasing people. I have continuously put people before God. I want friends to like me, men to want me, and family to approve of me. This is not a bad thing in reason but I was choosing toxic relationships and placing my energy into making those relationships work. I had to go through a friend detox. If you can have people in your life and only allow them to affect you on the surface you may be able to keep your current friends. If you are like me...you may need to depart from many of your friends. I have gone from hours on the phone a week to only a few a month. I rid my life of those who were not going to lift me up and am trying to find true friends that will Walk the path with me. Ridding your life of negative friends may seem extreme but for me it was the only way at this point in my life.
Establish healthy boundaries, or go on a friend detox to ensure your friends help you on your walk and not hurt you.
Proverbs 18 NLT
There are "friends" who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.
