Letting go of people who don't accept you is liberating. Liking yourself is a great feeling. You heal faster from emotional injury.

I've dealt with this over the last many years. Old friends, family, hobby friends and many others, I get this strange "we are in two different worlds" feeling when talking to them, as I've grown both my personal and professional journey and most of the people I know are stuck, never growing or growing up.

Yeah 100 percent speaking sense. Thank you! I've been "suffering" from having emotionally grown which makes it difficult to relate to friends family etc. Talking to them about how they can improve (when they come to me with issues) just falls on deaf ears. Incredibly frustrating. I take on your message. Thanks again 🙏

It is hard to explain. You are playing in the same game and world, but having overcome the easier limitations, you get to a point where you are just not able to communicate what you are dealing with, to those you used to confide in. Acknowledging this to be true in one's life and letting yourself keep moving forward, knowing one must let some people go, is one of the most difficult things that anyone can come to terms with.., usually hoping that they will move forward enough to catch up with you eventually. *Nobody who has actually moved that far forward, would let another go without hope that they find their way up to them eventually.*

So true I've had many lonely chapters. Now I'm not so sure friendships even matter. If you are happy alone it's nice to have friends but not necessary

The Pain of the Lonely Chapter feels like never ending. Like life have always been like this. But when I watch Chris + Alex Hormozi Episode, I remember it’s just the Cost of the new Level.
If you are ambitious, you will face a lot of ups and downs

I have left most of the friends I had behind. I realised the direction of my life and how trapped I was in my mind and started bending the bars. Now I've left all the people that weren't improving with me. All the people that were going nowhere fast, letting impulse and addiction run their lives. It's lonely. I'm more mentally healthy than ever before in my life, but I always find I'm thinking of the family I want to have one day, the one I'm working towards. I'm only 23, and I've improved at a breakneck pace, but it feels like I've just got my head above the water just to find I'm in the middle of the ocean paddling back to a shore 1000km away. Chris helps get me through

[MikesMindset]

I got stuck in this phase for my whole life. It's painful. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Life forced me out of the toxic nest I was stuck in back in 2020. Fortunately much farther through the pain for reference experience. Just internalizing what was said in this clip earlier would have been an epic overcoming.

Even having differences in thoughts and ideas, I still choose to have the flame of enquiry within me alive otherwise I will be stagnant in my approach towards life.

[uiremote]

I am clearly in this chapter. It seems like it's never ending.
The thing is, I know I can't and will never get back
But when will I arrive on that new shore ?
Breaking the cycle is an infernal cycle in itself

[timothy]

It's called maturity. I have worked with many millennials my age, 35 years old. And let me tell you, mentally they are stuck at 17. It's really sad. It's something about my generation. They just never grew up. They are very difficult to work with, very difficult.

[resiliencecounsellingcoach]

Struggle is inevitable & necessary

[limitisillusion]

I never had a reason to leave people behind. Your relationship with them just changes. I've never lost touch with those older versions of myself. I still entertain them.

[aurapajaijarat]

I struggle with this. Thank you for addressing the issue.

[condoguy]

She true. I was in a relationship for 7 years that ended and I realized I had not cultivated any bonds of friendship outside of her and the loneliness made me feel so isolated . I’m forcing myself to go to meet ups just to not be alone

[JW_______]

You never have to leave people behind. Unless they actively harm you.

[eliasnasr]

Stache is going to be CRAZY! Another banger Chris!

[M_a_t_z_ee]

Just had this experience from both angles: one time I'm behind, the other time I'm in front. Both feels difficult, but trying to catch up is way more exciting. Always be around people that you're behind.
If some of them reads this: I hope I'll meet you again at Harvard, MIT or Stanford! 😁 You made it there, but I'll join you! 🧑‍🎓

I feel like this with friends who have had kids. Our contact with them has just dropped off almost immediately post baby. I dont think it's personal or intentional. I think it's just relateability and priorities being so completely different.

Dumbing yourself down to stay connected is soul crushing
