I had a friend that I spoke with all day, everyday. I realized recently that although I love him, I can’t continue to do what I’ve been doing. He has been over the top with compliments and it got to the point where it has become uncomfortable for me. I felt like he was putting me on this pedestal and I would never be able to meet the standards he was setting for me. 

I decided to set boundaries and distance myself from him for the time being. Even though I made this decision, it hurts so bad. I miss him a lot. It just feels like there’s no way to win.
