Relationships formed away from comfort zone - real or unreal?
When you form relationships with people outside your comfort zone, are they relationships of necessity, convenience or genuine? Are they sustainable, impactful or a passing shadow?
I am outside my comfort zone now and I find myself relating well to some people who belong in this odd space as me. At the same time however I find myself doubting these relationships, comparing them to relationships formed within my comfort zone which have been proven to be steadfast and feeling disappointed at the likely prospect that those relationships formed outside my comfort zone will not likely last.
I form relationships fully expecting that it'll most probably be non-existent someday but I'm never ambivalent about it. Fencing myself from new relationships was naive and unrealistic. Now I have to live with the fact that relationships come and go, people move on with life and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Therefore, to avoid upsetting me, please don't be my friend when we're outside our comfort zones. Don't friend me, ok?
