“We’re Not Really Strangers”: 50 Inspiring Signs And Labels About Meaningful Connections

I need someone to follow me around with this

Look for the good things, but don't feel you have to do all the work in your relationships - if they act like an idiot, and sound like an idiot, they may actually be idiots :-)

We all feel like this from time to time - but it's generally true that silence is not the way to make - or keep - friends. Say something - small talk was invented for a reason !

Actually, there was a lot wrong with me. It took 2 years of intensive therapy to work it out. Finding my people made me realize I wasn't alone.

Crying is healing, and healing takes many tryes

Agreed - some people have negative worth as friends. Avoid them.

And don't be afraid to give it, where it's welcome. Love is for giving as well as forgiving.

I can only hope that's true

Long-term good advice from a deep-thinking friend. Don't lose them.

This. Good friends like you for what (and who) you are, not for what you feel you should pretend to be. Be yourself, you are needed.

Growth can hurt. A lot.

Give everyone a fair chance. But not a sequence of chances; there is a time to move on.

This image is annoying. Don't pretend you're writing

You may owe it to them to give it a try, but you don't have to make that your life's work. You - as you are, your skills, your laughter, your perseverance - are needed in many places. Find one of them and be the answer, never the complaint.

Now *that's* friendship ! Being vulnerable together.

Over-thinking is just as poisonous as under-thinking - relax and let life happen.

I find it difficult to do this, those old feelings are really good at creeping back up on you

Key word here is 'constantly'. Everyone occasionally touches the guardrails.

"How many times have I told you not to use lipstick on my car?"

Give everything your best shot but then relax. Nobody bats 100%.

A lot of people find the phrase "it is what it is" annoying and unhelpful. I've found it to be a great way to remind me that most of life is out of my control. It's best to focus on what I CAN control.

"Why do you never text me back?" does sound a bit demanding, but I like how the reply turned it into "Haven't heard from you in a while, how's things?"

It took me waaaaay too long to come to this conclusion on my own.

So how's it being held

The second best closure is knowing that I didn't even need to try my best.

Written by a lefty

"Everyone you will ever meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about". Be kind.

Personality matters more than looks - especially as you get older. You hook up for the sex but you should only marry for the patience and sense of humour.

I can't help thinking that the Covid mask adds a secondary line to this thought...

My favorite thing to tell my favorite people is "thank you for being you"

Nothing really mattress...

It often helps if you open up about something, first, to show them the way.

No, it was correct about that outfit.

If you aren't sure you're ready, at least be open to the possibility of new experiences.

I'm going to have to think this one through , a bit ...

Well, that had me thinking about it...so yeah

You've leant from that, and improved. Cherish your progress.

With the right person, you are yourself.

I prefer the "Thank yourself for how far you've come - it hasn't been easy" - we all need a little bit of self-appreciation. Not a lot, just a little.

And so do others you'll meet.

'Best' is a superlative, not a general label; (although I don't feel it's wise to place people in a hierarchy unless it's really necessary).

We all are. That’s how mortality works

Not the motto of the sniper division ... :)

What if you're the best for everyone....asking for a friend.

But remember the keys so you can get back in when you choose to.

Just don't ask me to explain 'excited' ...

God i hope so because i think I've found it but still waiting for the catch.

Cue X Files theme tune

I still can't work out, is insta an aid to good communication or an obstacle?

I find this note a bit creepy tbh

Real relationships are two-way; this poster is a red flag, not just red trousers. Friendships are between equals.

And you can love them right now, and let them realise it tomorrow.

Then leave you windows rolled down a bit.
