Oh not only that, but they get mad if someone near them tries to grow as a person. They want you at their level because it makes them feel bad if you climb your way out. Because it makes it harder for them tp ignore their own unwillingness to go through the pain necessary for growth.
over coffee with my mom this morning: “sometimes we hesitate to invite people into our life because we feel like our space isn’t good enough yet. things are a little messy, or our place settings don’t match, or our situation isn’t quite what we want it to be. don’t let that stop you. invite people in anyway.”
