As we enter middle age, life presents a different landscape than before. Former friends are endless, and enthusiasm and passion are intertwined all around us. However, as the years go by, we need to re-examine our relationships, learn to break them, and subtract from our lives.
First of all, be brave enough to break ties with those who emit negative energy. They are always complaining, negative, and full of endless complaints. Associating with them will only make our hearts heavy and we will not be able to enjoy the beauty of life. Therefore, instead of allowing such people to continue to influence us, it is better to end the relationship decisively and give yourself a clear space of mind.
Second, get rid of those who are duplicitous. They often say one thing and do another, and they are courteous to us on the surface, but in reality they are insincere. At critical moments, they choose to remain silent or leave, leaving us feeling lonely and disappointed. Instead of hoping for such hypocrisy, it is better to choose to break off relations with it and protect our sincerity and openness.
Also, stay away from people who are mercenary and don't care about the feelings of others. They only look out for their own interests and turn a blind eye to the needs of others. In their eyes, friendship is just a bargain that is only paid when it is beneficial to them. Rather than being taken advantage of by such people, it is better to decisively end this hypocritical friendship and protect your dignity and freedom.
Finally, we must cut ties with those who do not want to make progress and do not want to change. They are content with the status quo and have no pursuit or passion for life. Instead of being dragged down by such people, it is better to choose to say goodbye to them, find like-minded partners with us, and explore more possibilities in life together.
When we reach middle age, we need to learn to break off relationships. This is not indifference, but a mature and rational choice. What we need are friends who can give us support and help us to grow and progress with us. Only by being in the company of such people will our lives be more fulfilling and beautiful. So let's be brave enough to say goodbye to those bad relationships and pave the way for our future.
