When your confidence and healing move faster than the people around you, friendships can get awkward fast.
In Note 75, Yaya talks about why some friends take your growth personally, what usually sits underneath that reaction, and how to stay honest and kind without going back to the version of you that kept everyone comfortable. If you have ever edited yourself around a friend you love, this one is for you.
Inside this episode:
• Why your calm can look like coldness to a friend who wasn't there for what changed you
• How two women can have two completely different relationships with the same kind of past
• Three reasons a friend might react badly to your growth: the mirror, jealousy, and plain confusion
• What it costs you to shrink or drift away to keep the peace
• The one question to ask before you share an honest opinion with a friend
• How to say it once, with love, and then let her make her own choices
• How to adjust your closeness with a friend without pulling your love away
This is an episode to sit with. Think about the friend you have been editing yourself around, then send her this Note. And if you are ready to build your confidence from the inside out, download the Confidence Starter Kit here: https://theconfidentlyher.com/confidence-kit
