Are you afraid to make a major sea change in your life for fear your friends might not accept the new you?

Answer 1

Ah, this is so weird since I'm going through this right now.

I must admit that I'm not really afraid. I know my true friends will embrace the new me. I am still the person they have always known deep within. I still laugh at the same jokes, grin at the same things, love the same movies, etc.
The change is really beneficial on all accounts...

A lot of people tend to think my heart wanders, that I can't stick with anything because there's always something else that captures my attention. I've decided to change that. I have decided to invest myself into that which is good for me. I plan to stick by my resolve to do well in school and to disregard the stupid things that don't really matter. I will work at being successful at whatever I choose to do. I won't replace an obsession with another.

It's hard to explain...

All I know is that I'm not afraid because of my friends but because of me. I'm scared I won't recognize myself... that I won't like who I become.

But I hate myself right now so anything is better than this.

Answer 2

Hmmmmmm...... I do love my friends, don't get me wrong. But if I were to make a major sea change in my life, it would not be determined by my friends. If I felt the change was necessary for the welfare of my kids....... for my sanity........ for reasons that those around me might never accept, I would still make the change if it was imperative that I do so.

As a sea change, would it need to be a whale of a change? Or could it be minnow'scule?

Answer 3

to not get you all weepy and teary eyed over me, yet I by no skill fairly had any friends until I met some human beings on line a pair years in the past. I grew up residing interior the direction of nowhere, without different little ones around, and that i did not bypass to college, so I by no skill interacted with little ones apart from as quickly as a week at church. And on an identical time as we've been all close, we by no skill have been fairly "friends" until a pair of 365 days in the past. i became into continually the butt of each humorous tale, and no one became into my age (all 2 years youthful or older) so I actual have continually been a loner. In 2006, i began out a information superhighway college, and that i met lots of of people who I have been given to appreciate fairly nicely. I nonetheless evaluate them my first friends, and that they continually would be my friends. It wasn't until a pair of 365 days in the past that all and sundry the individuals I knew from church "matured" and we began putting out and doing extra issues at the same time, so now they're my friends. and then there are all you adult adult males I actual have on R&S :) i think of of you all as my friends, and that i admire drawing close solutions (per risk a splash too plenty hehe) And Catti is my bestest buddy ever, on line or genuine existence :)

Answer 4

Serious question.

I don't know that it is possible to make a major change as you describe at my age (53). Nor would I want to.

What I am today is a compilation of all my experiences. Simply put, that's what and who I am.

My friends know me, warts and all.

So I think I'll stick with me. The old and real me.
