Interesting take, Bella and it’s awesome you don’t feel any fear from being alone.

I definitely know a few people who follow the path of least resistance and are perfectly happy with that. Me personally, I’m choosy about friendships, always have been and I’m fine with my own company. I take a while to trust and it’s intrinsic to any of my relationships for that reason. But it also means I’m incredibly loyal, once we’ve connected. I’d love to hear Bunny’s take on this as it’s a great question.

In my experience people always take the path of least resistance; believe what is most convenient for them to believe and "take sides" with whoever works best for them and disrupts their life the least. And that leaves the other person feeling lost and

This happened to me, both with partners and friends, and I found I surrounded myself with too many people to make up for the loss I felt. I made unsuitable friends and went out of my way to keep them happy and make sure they liked me. I wonder if you did the same or if you shied away from friendships out of fear?

I don't do that now, as I am not scared of being alone anymore.
