What nobody tells you about adult friendships: They die from neglect, not conflict. You don't fight. You just... drift. Stopped calling. Stopped texting. Stopped making plans. One day you realize it's been 6 months. Then a year. Then you're strangers who used to be close. Maintenance is the price of connection. If you're not willing to pay it, don't be surprised when the friendship fades. Relationships require deliberate effort, not just good intentions.

The moment you realize most people are just traumatized children in adult bodies - everything makes sense. The anger is old hurt. The arrogance is old insecurity. The coldness is old abandonment. Everyone's just carrying their childhood and calling it personality.

Social cue tip: when people start acting weird towards you and you can’t recall anything happening between y’all to warrant a change in behavior — it’s because they talk about you behind your back or they hang out with people who talk about you. It’s not because you’ve done something wrong that you didnt realize.

(add the part where they exclusively talk to you in private and never in public because they don’t want the people they talked ill with see them have friendly interactions with you)

Many men don’t escape their pain. They pass it on — unless they do the work to break the cycle.

I’ve sat across from hundreds of men who don’t see how their pain is shaping their relationships. They see themselves as good men, but they don’t realize how their unchecked wounds and defensiveness impact the people they love.

They get frustrated. They shut down. They lose their temper and blame their partner for “never letting things go.” They minimize. They deflect. They withdraw. But underneath all of it? There’s a boy.

A boy who wasn’t seen, wasn’t heard, wasn’t allowed to be soft.

A boy who learned that vulnerability was a liability, so he buried it under anger, withdrawal, or control.

A boy who swore he’d never be like his parent, but still finds himself sounding just like them.

Right now, that boy is in the driver’s seat.

That’s why your partner feels dismissed. That’s why your kids avoid you when you’re in a mood. That’s why you keep promising to do better — but don’t.

You think you’re protecting yourself. But what you’re really doing is wounding everyone around you. And if you don’t deal with what’s inside you, they’re the ones who will pay the price.

That wounded boy doesn’t have to be in charge anymore. The real you — the grounded, loving, relational man — is waiting to take the wheel. Are you ready to put him back in charge?

You don’t have to wait until things fall apart to start showing up differently.

The people you love need you now.
