I can't understand

Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit distant and reflective about my friendships. I have great friends and a good social life, but something feels a little off. It sometimes feels like my interactions take more energy than usual, and I’ve been questioning how I relate to the people around me. People often tell me I’m special, that they’re proud of me, and that I’m someone they can rely on — and I really appreciate that. Still, I’ve noticed that I need some time to process these feelings and figure out how to stay true to myself while also maintaining the connections that matter to me.
