why you're struggling to connect with people after a spiritual awakening (& how to start)

making friends after a spiritual awakening & why it can be so difficult

There have been so many points throughout my spiritual journey that I have felt isolated and lonely. Going inward, learning about yourself, and healing can make it hard to connect with others. And while I think these periods of solitude are sometimes necessary, I realized that I was closing myself off from ppl because of fear rather than love. In this video, I talk about how to start breaking free from the loneliness of a spiritual awakening, let go of spiritual ego, and begin building a community that you feel safe to heal and grow with.

I completely agree. I've been isolating myself because I want to protect my energy but I love having a community and making new friends. It's definitely a journey.

[rosasellers]

When spending time with others remember the affirmation “Connect, don’t solve.”

[xerindavisx]

i love that you pointed out that the first step is accepting that we don't need to save people or "convert" them into our way of thinking. you start such valuable conversations, love you!

[jamiewilliams]

Once you become spiritually awakened you see people for what they really are.

[hross]

Agreed, it's easy to feel like you are outgrowing relationships but in reality you might just be outgrowing yourself. Then that's when you have to relearn how to connect as you are. People who love you will try to understand and support that transition.

Actually have been feeling a bit disconnected these past couple years. "Not everyone has to be your friend" really got me.

[Wonderwall]

I don't think I've become better than others. But I'm just not interested in what my old friends have to say. I really have to make an effort to exchange ideas, make them laugh, etc, and keep a semblance of a relationship. Your priorities and perspective change so much that you feel like you're worlds away from them.

I couldn’t agree more with this. Finding balance between creating time for yourself and time spent more with others is so crucial for growth. Definitely the wake up call I needed 💛

I usually don't talk to people about anything too deep, it feels like a very personal thing for me. But if someone brings up something I'm open to it. It's nice to hear other people's perspectives. One of the most enlightening conversations I've ever had was with an uber driver.

I am so happy with my relationships with others. Of course I am staying with distanced with some friends who I feel they are toxic but I am not afraid to contact them, but for sure I don't have to be friends with those who they need to be with those who they can feed their egos.
But I have a very clear heart and mind towards everyone, especially with those who they hurt me in my previous life. I am very happy with my life and I can accept everyone as they are. ❤

My advice is to lead by example. Just by going through my own journey throughout these past 3 years, I’ve not only aligned myself with new friends but have revolutionized friendships from before. All of my current friends are improving themselves in their own individual ways and that’s all that really matters :)

[favourebede]

This is so timely as I'm looking to meet new people, I'm done isolating myself.

[irisb]

Feeling called out but in the best way. The last couple months I've realised how closed off I've been and since have been trying to connect through attending local events, actually being open to conversation and enjoying the pure joy of feeling connection in all forms. Looking at the comments it's nice to see others resonate so much as well, such an important reminder xx

[makaila]

I definitely shut my self out from people who just don't get me

[sarah]

Thanks for the reminder! While it’s nice to isolate sometimes, being out in the world and accepting and loving people, no matter how awakened they are, is basically the whole point!

[akaHobbs]

I agree to an extent. Sometimes it’s necessary to phase out of certain relationships though 🤷🏽‍♀️ For instance, if you connected with someone by going out to bars/parties, and that was what your whole friendship was based upon, but now you don’t really do that anymore. I think it’s ok to move on from that friendship if there isn’t much substance there.

[nuday]

Going through this for a while now. Went through a spiritual war last year into this year. I had to cut everyone off. I am now starting to connect with different people but with good energy and people I can grow with

[JazUpMyStyle]

OMG I feel like this video showed up for a reason. I feel like a lot of people distance themselves from me during my spiritual awakening. I feel like my vibration is so high that all of the toxic folks just let themselves out the door before I had the time to cut them off

[thelostnavigator]

I’ve been feeling disconnected from everyone and everything. You helped me come back to connection by checking that ego. Thank you Lynette for the spiritual wisdom!

[Knasty]

I'm always called to be alone. But I fight it so hard, cause it feels like the world revolves around relationships 😭 maybe I'm supposed to be a monk
