Elizabeth
She could tell that Maea was still struggling with whatever past experiences plagued her. It was obvious she'd been hurt in the past, making her hesitant to trust in her own judgement while blaming herself for others' decisions.
Elizabeth leaned against the arm of the couch, her tone soft and comforting. "Some friends are for a lifetime, and some are for a season. Perhaps the people you've met thus far have been temporary - people with whom your views and goals aligned for a time before growing apart. It doesn't mean you did anything wrong, or that there's anything wrong with you." And she would say it a thousand times over until Maea started to believe it.
Smiling gently, she tried to break through with encouragement. "Don't be too disheartened. Try to stay open and trust yourself. You'll find your people - the ones worth keeping around."

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
