How to know if you have a real friend.

It’s so much simpler than you might think.

Simply mention something you succeeded at, something you’re proud of, something you achieved, something you’re working hard on or something you’re excited about. Don’t be braggy. Just light up with that childlike wonder that brings your soul alive, whatever that may be.

Do they frown and change the subject? Do they look down at the ground and zone out? Or do they light up and smile and match your excited energy?

You may be surprised to learn after running this test that in fact, you have close to zero real friends.

Relax. God is not lonely.

Y’all solipsists can chill. For God to be “lonely” that would require it to experience time the same way we do down here in the 3rd dimension. There is no time up there in the 11th (27th?) dimension to have the thought “I am lonely.” The only way God experiences loneliness is by incarnating as you after a spiritual awakening when all of your friends wanted you to stay drunk and in the mud with them…

Had a meltdown and door slammed almost every major figure in my life.

Couldn’t handle the gaslighting and fakeness and manipulation any longer. Woke up and realized I was entrenched in an extremely toxic family dynamic. Started by asking for apologies and setting boundaries, calmly. My feelings were treated as a threat (rather than approached with curiosity) they all, one by one, targeted me with insane lies and bullying like I’ve never experienced before. Got labeled as the “problem” and received zero apologies or respect from people I’ve grown up with and knew for 20 yrs. Got pushed to my limit and broke, flipped out, scorched earth, became the villain they were trying to paint me as, burnt everything to the ground.

Ever been group-bullied and gaslit by your family and closest friends before to the point of meltdown?
