Contradictions

Friends always have your best interest at heart. That being said, sometimes their best intentions can seem like they are contradicting one another. I am forever being told that I don’t put myself out there, that I don’t give people chances, and that I don’t open up enough. Yet when I do put myself out there, when I do open up, and when I do decide I want something, if it doesn’t fit the deemed appropriate timeline I am then told to move on, that I deserve something better, and that I wait around for too long in situations that aren’t good for me.
