Note.

When I say, keep it casual with people. I don’t mean you should not share things.

You can share whatever you feel like and are okay with sharing.

But don’t get easily attached to everyone, is what I meant.

Don’t get attached unless there is something meaningful there, a bond, a connection and rapport.

Just like what happens in a casual relationship.

You have your fun (whatever it is that fun means to you), some good conversations, later you say bye and go separate ways without any bad blood.

Same way,

When you are keeping it casual with people in a social setting and socializing.

Have good conversations and when it is not working out, for whatever reasons it might be.

Say to yourself,

Thank you but this is not helping me in any way, my growth or my journey.

But it is doing the opposite, ie draining my energy and deteriorating my mental health.

Take a step back silently.

Don’t carry any animosity and allow it to phase out naturally.

Maintain the harmony and love from a distance.

We are grown ups now. (If you are reading my blogs you are probably a grown up.)

People come and go, that’s the way of life.

Don’t spread slander or start shit because they don’t stay.

As I have already spoken about before, your value is not conditional to someone being in your life or not.
