Do not have an expectation of loyalty. It’s not about what you get from others but what you’re able to give/share. When you are a good friend, even to a stranger on the street, it will always come back to you. And if it doesn’t, you still have the pleasure of spreading smiles. Expectation is the source of disappointment and fear of abandonment.

I have kind of the opposite problem. My friends and family are very attached to me. I would prefer to be a vagabond again, for a while.
