Friends, the new year has arrived, and the old year has passed. The past year teaches us a great deal, and experience is paramount here. If we assess our activities from the past year, we see many things: the mistakes we made, the risks we took that paid off, and the risks that led to losses. We learn so much from these experiences. Sometimes, we take risks in our lives, even though we are well aware of the negative consequences. Yet, we still have to take those risks, perhaps for our own good or for some other reason. We often have to take risks in life. Today, based on my experience, I'm going to talk about a type of risk that isn't easily visible, but its impact is incredibly profound.
The risk I'm talking about is letting go of certain toxic people. Now you might think, "What's the risk in that? Letting go of toxic people should be a habit." But consider this: you have a close friend who was once very important to you, but now they've moved on to other friendships and have essentially forgotten you. The bond you once shared is no longer there. In such a situation, it's better to let go of that friendship, especially if you're not valued in it, because a relationship only thrives when both sides put in equal effort. Letting go of such a friendship is a risk because it might leave you feeling lonely, without anyone to talk to, as friends play a vital role in our lives. However, when it comes to self-respect, you must prioritize it, as it's crucial. When you feel that you are no longer valued in a relationship, you should leave it. Staying in such a relationship will only cause you daily pain, while the person causing you that pain won't be affected at all. That's why this kind of letting go is necessary.

What truly matters is not the size of your social circle, but how satisfied you are with the people in it and how much value they place on you. Many people will call you their friend, but they only remember you when they need something. Otherwise, they have no interest in you. If you have someone like this in your circle, I'm sorry to say that they are not a true friend, but merely a selfish individual. Such people will only stick around as long as they can benefit from you; after that, they don't care about you at all, as long as their own needs are met.
If such a situation arises again in my life, I won't hesitate to make the same decision again; in fact, I'll make it even faster. Because such decisions, while they might leave you feeling lonely, will help you understand the truth about who is right for you and who is wrong. It's better to protect your self-respect and move on than to lose yourself trying to maintain relationships.
