My obstacle is, not knowing the difference between a good friend and a bad friend, because people can hide how they really act. Its important for me to persevere over this obstacle because it can become a huge problem and cause a lot of stress. like my mom tells me "don't sweat the small stuff" An interesting way to overcome this obstacle is to stay away from the person for 2 days and on the 3rd day talk to the person! and depending on their reaction, it will be pretty much self explanatory.
