[@Pra10942]

Another type is someone who continuously pretend that he or she is really good human being with great soul but actually they're not in real life

[@maryam_couture]

Very true! 🩵

What about someone who is overly anxious and worries about the tiniest little things, is this a turn off, or is it annoying? Cause this is me...

[@TanyaGangwar111]

[@maryam_couture]

[@Girlyypoppppppppp]

Why is so difficult to find the right friends 😭

[@maryam_couture]

It can defo feel like a struggle at times, but it’s totally worth it when we find the right ones 💓

[@Girlyypoppppppppp]

I don't have friends right now but I really really long for one and she doesn't have to match my vibe or think like me. The only people I talk to in occasions are my cousins but it is so draining to be around them because they are constantly like me, me, me and thinking about marriage or relationship all the time. They don't even want successful female friendships and I'm guilty for trusting them and believing that we really could be friends when in reality they are in competition with each other regarding looks and who gets a handsome man. I can't because I'm fixated on building strong female friendships and you cannot force people to believe in the same idea as you, so yeah now I'm quite lonely and waiting for an honest friend. Keeping in mind that we all could be different but still be friends if we eliminate jealousy, competition and insecurities.

[@maryam_couture]

Thanks for sharing this! 🌼. Always remember that it’s better to be by yourself than to be with people who don’t feel aligned to you. You’re alone and not ‘lonely’ which are 2 completely different things, and I’m sure you’ll attract like minded women the longer you stay true to yourself 🤍

[@dialmstyle]

I used to tolerate these people…I make no effort for those friendships anymore…

How do you know you don't come off as confident, but rather egocentric?

[@maryam_couture]

Great question!💡. It starts with your intention, your intention is not to intimidate others or to be cold/ mean. When you are confident, you ooze warmth & kindness because you’re operating from a place of abundance ✨ That being said, if you were to interact with someone rather insecure/ unhealed, they may or may not feel threatened and label you egotistical.

i have this one friend that have all those traits and the fact my mother always warns me about her 😶

[@maryam_couture]

Omg GIRL, our moms always know before we do 🥲

[@Dario-z7x5k]

Love your content, Girl. I love your video on colorism. I want to add more. Glow & Lovely (formerly known as Fair & Lovely). Despite the name change, I believe this product continues to perpetuate harmful ideals by promoting colorism and fostering negative perceptions about individuals with darker skin tones. Such marketing can lead to feelings of inferiority and self-hatred, as it suggests that lighter skin is superior. The rebranding to "Glow & Lovely" does not address the root issue of promoting unfair beauty standards that negatively impact countless individuals. We should take a stand to fight Colorism.

[@maryam_couture]

Thanks angel 💓 I’m so glad and yes your comment is spot on!

[@nusratayyub920]

Hey maryam I have a question about a really close friend of mine she is supportive she's my childhood friend, she has also taken a stand for me in my absence but now after growing up I realised she is constantly stopping me from being me!! telling what people talk about me, she says don't talk to anyone other than us they'll dirty you behind your back...but when I refuse saying that I'm not what they say she supports me but she doesn't feel good about people pointing faults in me.....there was an incident when she wasn't giving us(her besties ) time and she wasn't even talking and when she did talk to us she was lying so I told this to one her close male friend who was also a part of her group besides us... I asked him whether she was behaving the same with him and he said yes so I told him you could share this conversation with her as she isn't ready to confess she came and then confessed that she wasn't able to give us time which was fine but the only problem was her entitlement of being fair and giving everyone equal time....even after this incident she did this couple of times and hid things....but she always wants me to share everything although she is been supportive now I feel something fishy about her.... Is she a little messy or is she just overwhelmed by work??? Just wanna know because recently she said this laughing "don't you dare to make new friends"....but I feel she can have a life out of me and I can have a life out of her... Please tell me am I being dramatic and problematic or it's just in my head or is she actually being mean😢 I know I've got flaws and I do make mistakes but I can't help it I can improve but can't completely change 😭 I can't help it Sorry for the long text but help me...she's my best friend and childhood buddy😭😭

[@tanishkaranaa]

also how should we cutoff such people without being called rude or self centred?

[@maryam_couture]

If it's a close friend, then it's worth having a candid conversation with them where you can express that you care for them & want the best for them but you also need to show yourself that sort of care too 🩵 and perhaps that means you need to be by yourself more/ more often and your connection with your friend can be re-evaluated when (and if) you're both happy to have that discussion later on in the future☁️ However if it's not a very close friend, then it's okay to slowly distance yourself from them and if they do ask why, you could share your reasonings in a warm & respectful way. Remember, it is not your job to please others, but to be true to yourself & treat others with respect at all times 🫂

[@tanishkaranaa]

​@@maryam_couture I've always tried having a conversation with people but they always manipulate me into believing that they actually really love me and stuff which leads me into overthinking about my decisions, like I've always just wanted people to understand my pov and how things affect me because im willing to do all that for people but they literally never admit the things they do which makes me feel like shit sometimes and yes i do get that it's not my job to please others but even after i cut them off they come back and start acting like victims so that's actually very annoying and facing such people irl is even more traumatising.

[@maryam_couture]

@ this sounds like a very difficult situation and rather toxic, it’s a clear example and reminder of how we must always rely on ourselves to place stern and strict boundaries and not other’s ability to understand/ not violate our boundaries. It’s okay to disengage and fully ignore people once you recognise their incapability of understanding/ changing. It all starts & ends with what we allow to happen to us after that first conversation 🤍

[@tanishkaranaa]

omg thank god yt recommended this to me, this is so good and relatable, you're so beautiful, knowledgeable and underrated, thank uuu🫶🏼

[@maryam_couture]

Ahhh you're such a kind soul ❤️ thank you
