Lesson Overview

26.24 – When You Lose Friends Over Who You Are: Losing friends after opening up about your identity can feel like grief, because it is. You’re mourning expectations and memories while realizing who truly values you. Some friends walk away out of discomfort, while others quietly fade from fear of judgment. Their absence hurts but reveals truth: authentic friendship doesn’t disappear under honesty. Give yourself time to feel sadness without internalizing blame. Seek people who stay curious and supportive instead of critical. Quality always outweighs quantity when it comes to belonging. Remember, losing false comfort makes room for genuine connection. It may take time, but real allies will appear—people who see you beyond labels. Your world doesn’t shrink; it reshapes. One day, you’ll thank yourself for choosing honesty over convenience, because the friendships that survive truth are the ones that truly deserve you.
