Go after the best option for yourself. As the years pass, perhaps only your childhood friends remain in their lives. they can love you in an interesting way without being jealous. As we get older, the wrong decisions we will make can be a hump on our back for the rest of our lives. In bilateral relations, people will always choose themselves.
For this reason, I do not think that friendship and friendship relations have solid foundations. People you were very close to at the time can scratch you instantly. Knowing this, we must live for ourselves. If you're clean-faced, paid, well-dressed, people will always treat you well. The main reason for this is that they will be able to add to themselves financially or spiritually from you. They wonder how you make money. They are curious about the structure of the mind. maybe they just want to take advantage of your experiences. They want to explore life through you.
