The Bestie Paradox: Holding Her Standards Higher Than Our Own
Why do we hold different standards for our friends than ourselves? As girls, we have an instinct to always take care of the people close to us, like a premature maternal instinct, or more like a "bestie instinct".
This bestie instinct is a gift between girl friendships; however, sometimes we may go overboard by trying to be a "relationship referee" and not realize we're actually just hypocritical.
The positive is that our bestie instinct shows how much we really care for each other.
- We don't stand for any disrespect coming from boys, girls, or whoever fails to see our worth.
- We see our friends for everything they are, and that's also what allows us to know each other beyond just the surface.
Still, some people come into our lives and only see us for one thing, maybe someone sees you as a study buddy in class, or as nothing more than a hookup.
