ah girl I don’t even have that much friends. If I can’t get deep with you, you’re an acquaintance or co worker. That’s it

[@BellazziEnt]

I understand. I’m not emotionally available for a close friend/best friend right now

[@bm5_5_5]

Exactly we need to normalise calling people acquaintances.

[@Kyle-uq8tu]

My heart broke when my “best friend” didn’t even attempt to help me when I was homeless. Sigh.

[@bougiepeaches5497]

I’m at the point where I don’t call my friends to check on them because they don’t do the same, so I’m cutting all access and make new friends when I’m ready to make new friends, until then, I’m going to embrace my solitude.

[@BellazziEnt]

I understand ❤️

[@Redberylprincess]

Same girl same

[@sispeepgame]

This video is GOLD. I’m amazed how many people I meet who automatically go to the close/best friend tier with me. 🥴 I put them in the casual acquaintance category and it’s always a clash.

[@BellazziEnt]

Yes I don’t like when people are too eager to get close to me too early. Is a red flag for me

[@sweetcutecoolgirl]

@@BellazziEnt why is it a red flag?

[@BellazziEnt]

Watch my video “she wants to be you”

I'm a middle aged woman...and have struggled with this my entire life. Thank you. I messed up so much with wanting friends. I've always been socially awkward 😔

[@BellazziEnt]

We live and we learn babe ❤️

[@kylieking8163]

I’m always socially awkward so I keep to myself now and it’s okay sometimes not

[@Datb2]

I only have casual friends. Also cut off best friends but I’m very relieved to not deal with the stress they came with anymore

[@BellazziEnt]

We twins ❤️😂

This video is a true gem and I definitely need to learn this for my future interactions. Like acquaintances are important for having access to more opportunities but definitely they don’t need to know ur secrets or personal life. We shouldn’t expect too much from them. I use to feel like they were fake friends but it’s because they weren’t my friend but an acquaintance. I’m so much smarter now. I didn’t realize. I couldn’t stand feeling like I was always the one reaching out and now I understand why. I can’t wait to build my network now.

Thank you for posting this video. I quit my job today due to my toxic coworker trying to get me fired yesterday. I work in a group home and one of our disabled clients family came to visit him. My toxic coworker told the family visiting the house that I don’t know how to cook, clean or even know how to use a toaster to make toast and I don’t know how to use an electric can opener. Then when I asked my toxic coworker if I can use the dish sponge to wash the dishes because she had the sponge by her to wipe the kitchen counters, the toxic coworker threw the sponge across the kitchen and the sponge hit me hard in the chest. Then the coworker said in front of the family visiting my group home that she doesn’t know how I lasted this long not knowing how to cook when Im in the military i.e, army reserves. Before the family left toxic coworker told them that all I do is laundry and sit on my phone in the living room and don’t talk to nobody. After my shift ended, that’s when I decided to quit, life’s to short to be dealing with this childish drama. Meanwhile this toxic coworker is 53 years old with children that are older than me.

[@BellazziEnt]

I’m so sorry babe. Toxic colleagues are the worst 😢

[@yahainHotPink]

😡😡 I hate such catty, disrespectful people

[@christiandeniz]

You are a life saver and the ven diagram is pure gold. I’ve made so many mistakes in my 20’s with the dynamic of relationships. But with this and my new wisdom combined it makes all the more sense. I think when you try to skip a relationship tier, there lies a power dynamic because of the lack of unearned/lack of trust, for example giving away your trust too soon to a colleague and making yourself vulnerable when you do not know their intention and heart-and there lies the problem. Even with bosses, I’ve been open with simply just my own personality and personal interests which you would do with a casual friend and at the end of the day your boss is not your friend, they are your colleague or at BEST an acquaintance (if that), do not share anything personal even casual (they are not casual friends, reference the diagram), bosses are already a power dynamic in nature and most like to stay at the top so they will use anything to their advantage. Don’t be afraid to not be liked because most people aren’t your friends (while you can still have respect) so it shouldn’t feel personal. Some relationships are not meant to escalate and that is perfectly fine and in balance. Thank you for the video!

[@BellazziEnt]

I agree. Thanks for supporting ❤️❤️

[@TheBlackExotical]

Great tips! I wish I had access to this info back in high school.

[@BellazziEnt]

Me too lmaoo 😂❤️❤️

[@chichi-wh4iz]

I see my mistake with friendships. I blame myself for all the pain and betrayal I experienced. Now that we know better, we do better. I see I have had 1 close friend sometime in my teens and a bunch of acquaintances. Now, I just have acquaintances.

[@franchescalazaro4528]

I've been watching your videos for a while now, and they have really helped me improve my confidence and self-worth, especially with other women! I wanted to ask if you could do a video addressing women or other girls who gossiped about you or spread rumors about you. I recently was a victim of a group of girls who told a mutual friend of mine to stop hanging out with me because they said I was too "weird" to be his friend. What would you do in this situation?

[@BellazziEnt]

-Reflect on your friendship with this friend. If they're easily influenced by others and willing to distance themselves based on someone else's opinion, it might be worth reconsidering how much you invest in that relationship. Sometimes people want to fit in so badly. I don’t think you should want to befriend ppl who don’t have a mind of their own. -Even if you feel hurt, don’t show it to them. Maintain your composure and confidence. This not only protects your self-esteem but also prevents them from thinking they’ve succeeded in weakening you. -social proof: Adapt to the social environment. If the group is trying to isolate you, strengthen your ties with other people in your social circle. Build alliances with those who appreciate your value. If your friends see that other valuable ppl hang with you. They are more likely to hang with you too. -If rumors or negative perceptions about you are being spread, subtly counteract them by showcasing your strengths and positive attributes in a way that discredits their narrative. Let your actions speak louder than their words. -Sometimes, the best move is to distance yourself from toxic environments. Focus on building relationships elsewhere where you are valued, and let those who truly matter see the truth about you overtime.

Do you have any advice for women who have virtually no friends? Such as where to find good female friends, what to look out for, how to know when you can ‘promote’ friends (ie from situational to close etc) I have one close friend, and then situational friends (my close friends’ friendship group). I’ve always been the odd one out but spent a long time being a people pleaser - when I stopped I lost majority of my ‘friendships’. Mainly kept to myself during university and made no friends. I’m currently in my last two years of medical school and scared of having an isolated true adulthood.

[@BellazziEnt]

I will say: -get to know yourself first. If you don’t know who you are, you will always get lost in other people’s lives -have a life (have hobbies, interests, things you like to do) -find people in the places where your interests are in (situational friends) - then you want to date them. Watch my video called “date your friends”. -remember slow burn relationships are the best. Don’t rush anything. Make sure you set boundaries early. -make sure they are also interested in getting to know you too. -have your standard for friends. Remember if you self esteem is not high enough, you will fall into people pleasing which will lead to more heart breaks Know you are worthy. Lastly, have fun. Life is meant to be lived. Enjoy people in the moment. Don’t be clingy. Don’t make somebody your whole life. They will take advantage of that

I had a friend just the other day who called me her best friend; yet, we don't talk often! I might hear from her (via text) once every 3 months -if that. What do you say or do when someone is assessing/putting you in the wrong relationship category? We were close friends in the past but are probably more like casual friends now. Should I share this w her or let it go/know where I stand & keep quiet? Obviously, she doesn't know anything about this hierarchy/knowledge of friend categories; yet, I don't want to hurt her feelings, esp if she thinks/considers me as a best friend.
