    You won’t be everyone’s friend.

    Along with “don’t chase after people who aren’t interested” and “you don’t like everybody, not everybody will like you”.

    Genuinely has been so helpful to keep in mind every time I reach out to make connections but get ignored, brushed off or rejected. There will be people who reciprocate my friendship, who recognize my value and enjoy my company and I can use my energy on those relationships.
