🤝Friendships → Clarity & Boundaries Path
- Step 1 — **Notice the emotional pattern.** Are you overthinking, feeling replaced, feeling invisible, or giving too much?
- Step 2 — **Ask: “What do *I* want from this friendship?”** Not what THEY want. Not what you fear losing.
- Step 3 — **Stop decoding mixed signals.** If someone wants you in their life, you won’t need to be a mind reader.
- Step 4 — **Set small boundaries.** Example: You don’t have to reply instantly. You don’t need to agree to everything.
- Step 5 — **Choose friendships that feel like calm.** Real connections don't drain you — they steady you.
