When you start growing, some friends get weird. That’s not your fault, and it’s not your job to stop.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Change in one person shifts a friendship even when nobody intends it, because the shared ground moves. Some of what looks like resentment is somebody feeling left behind and having no words for it. You did not do anything to them by getting better at something.

Keep showing up for the friendship in the ordinary ways rather than shrinking what you are doing. Some people adjust and some drift, and both happen without anyone being the villain. Give it time before you decide which one is happening.
