The harsher you are, the more worth befriending you become
People truly worth building a deep relationship with often aren’t that “easy to talk to”: they dare to refuse, dare to put the ugly truth up front, and when the relationship is about to get out of control, they know how to hit the brakes.
Many people, when they’re young, choose friends and are especially easily moved by the phrase “good temper.”
They smile at everyone, help with anything, and when others make requests they say “no problem.” Being around them feels like there’s zero pressure.
But over time, you’ll find that this kind of overly accommodating person can sometimes be the most exhausting. They agree quickly with words, while their frustrations keep piling up inside; they may seem to understand everything in front of you, but behind your back they might flip through old accounts again.
