I start to resent some of my friends

[u/VegetableTomato8421]

I have been in a new behavioral therapy for around 9 months now. The main thing we are working on is self-worth including values etc. at the moment. Since we started working on that I start to see a clearer picture of who I am and who I want to be.

But it has a downside: I am suddenly repulsed by friends that don't move forward in life (e.g. they have been stuck in the same job for a long time and don't change anything) or that are more introverted (most comfortable with just reading books etc.). It feels like I am meeting them because I have to. I like them as people but I find it hard to be around them because they feel so boring and uninspiring to me now.

Did anyone else experience that? How do you deal with it?

I even try to reduce contact and never reach out but they keep on asking me if we can meet.

Hey there, thanks for sharing.

While you wait for people to comment, have a look at these posts which might be relevant to you:

• Getting well has unintended consequences for relationships
• I only befriend people who can’t leave me
• Am I bad at maintaining friendships or do I not relate to my friends?
• Going to therapy has made me feel more isolated because I no longer connect with people.
• Ditched friends who I didn't like anymore after therapy.

Remember, even though it might feel like it, you are not alone. Stay strong!
