At Chai Latte Diaries, a woman in a new city is trying to make new friends. Only, many people are mean-girls: For you and the people you mention, simply understand that folks are territorial for a variety of weird reasons, each of which makes sense to them, but which should not be of any concern to you. Instead, your focus ought to be where and how you can meet new / other people. Because these current people have reached the ceiling of their allotted number of friendships (I am rolling my eyes, by the way), chuck’em and move forward. Don’t look over your shoulder at them or wonder why they are not more inviting; instead, see them for their reality – their hearts are too small where they should be bigger. Seek instead individuals who understand that it is inside of all relationships that the human heart grows and flourishes. Because, I mean, whotf doesn’t have space for more friends? Jesus. (Peace and blessings upon him.)
