🎧: Dear Danny, Pt. 2: Can I have a kid without losing myself?

you have less leverage with your friends and that’s what makes their company enjoyable, the stakes are lower
people can tell when you want them to play a role in your life that’s different than that of a friend (something more eg: a sibling, a partner)
you have to learn to adjust your expectations (which is painful), you can’t be desperate for friendship
I spend almost no time with people I intuitively don’t like or am bored by, where I used to assume I should ignore those impulses.
