I used to get really hurt by people whose personalities and values shifted depending on whose company they were in; the inconsistency always predicted their two-faced nature, that eventually they were going to get rid of me and talk shit about me as if all the little secrets and mistakes of my life were theirs now to exploit. And it was always a surprise when it happened because I trust everyone: you can’t live your life without trusting what they say to you
But now I look at the inconsistencies in people as a sign that they don’t know who they are or what they are doing. I am always the same person with everyone because I trust them and in many cases I like them too; perhaps I am making mistakes by actually liking too many people and could be better by choosing to dislike more?
