AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Are friendships necessary – I feel my friends are slightly offensive – put me down – don’t want to acknowledge me for me – I used to be very available before ! Listen to their every problem try solve it. Now I don’t. It’s negative. Draining. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑💔💥🖤

Keep cribbing about their marital problems. Not happy in life. Does sharing really help. I feel now I only want them in my life to attend my wedding. For public appearance and approval. Is crazy.
