From Overgiving to Over It!

 Life is weird. One day, you're syncing your weekend plans, finishing each other's sentences, and sharing memes that only you two understand. And then—bam—radio silence. Suddenly, you're strangers with shared memories and mutual followers on Instagram.

What happened?
Honestly? Life. Ego. Distance. Growth. Maybe even one petty argument over who didn’t return your belonging. Or a slow build-up of unspoken things—resentments swept under rugs until the rug exploded.

It’s not always dramatic. Sometimes people just... fade. And you’re left blinking like, “Wait—weren’t we best friends? Or did I imagine the emotional investment like a Netflix fever dream?”

Let’s Get Real:

💥 The one who once calmed your 3 a.m. breakdowns now gives you anxiety if they appear in your “People You May Know.”
📱 You see their texts from a year ago and wonder how that turned into awkward hellos at family functions.
😒 The cousin you trusted with all your drama is now giving exclusive gyaan to someone else, like you never existed.

Painful? Yes.
Surprising? Always.
Recoverable? Absolutely.

The betrayal, distance, or disconnection hurts more when it comes from someone you never thought you'd have to guard yourself against. You didn’t see the red flags because you were too busy matching your energies back then.

But here’s the hilarious irony:
The people who said, “I’ve got your back,” are often the ones who trip you from behind.
And the ones you swore would be at your wedding might not even make it to your birthday reel.

Let’s drop some truth bombs:

  • People change — sometimes for the better, sometimes for their follower count.

  • Growth isn’t always mutual, and that’s okay. Not everyone is meant to grow with you.

  • Just because you shared history doesn't mean you owe them your future.

And here’s where it gets juicy:

🥲 You don’t even wish them ill. You just don’t want to share your life updates with someone who wouldn't clap for you genuinely.
🧘‍♀️ You’re not angry. You’ve just reached a stage where peace feels better than proving your side of the story.

The Real Power Move?

Silence. Distance. And vibing harder with yourself than you ever did with fake connections.

You’re not cold—you’ve just upgraded your emotional firewall.
You’re not lonely—you’ve just decluttered your circle.
And no, you’re not petty—you’re protective. (Of your peace, your time, your mental bandwidth.)

Remember:

  • Some people come into your life as blessings.

  • Others come as very detailed cautionary tales.
    Both are valuable.

So if you're feeling weird about how someone went from “call me when you reach home” to “who even is this?”—don’t worry. That’s not dysfunction. That’s just...life doing its natural selection thing.

Protect your peace. Laugh at the memories. Mute what disturbs your mental playlist. And keep it moving.

Because darling, you didn’t lose a person.
You just made space for the version of you that doesn’t tolerate half-hearted connections.
