When You've Outgrown Your Friends

[Fausto]

Like Tupac said, “ Just because i lost you as a friend doesn’t mean i gained you as a enemy. I still want to see you eat, just not at my table.”

Speaking from experience, if you think you've outgrown your friends, do not be afraid to be alone for a while.
You will end up meeting new people that will help you grow.

"You don't owe anybody an explanation when you say No" - Elliot Hulse. Great advice as usual big bro. Being able to say No is an essential part of being a man. You gotta be able to set the standard for your own life.

You don’t have to worry about your friends hanging around. As soon as they get into serious relationships you won’t see them anyway

I've struggled with this recently, but not because my friends are terrible. I just realize we don't have a lot in common anymore. I want to pursue enterpreneurship, reach my fitness goals etc and they are content living the 9/5 lifestyle. There is nothing wrong with that by the way, and they aren't losers by any means but I can't hit my personal ambitions unless I meet other likeminded people

I had 2 cut off a friend of 20 years. Not out of spite. I grew, I progressed she did not. I found that this person's ways & demeanor took me out me peace & brought drama. I found her dragging me back to a person I'm not anymore. Ion do unnecessary drama with any childish & insecure person. She one still living at home with her mom at age 50. She's the type who refuses to get better & Getting better is MY highest priority & should be for ALL adults. If it's not...they're NOT worth it. I had 2 face the fact that me & her are heading in two different directions in life. Sometimes you realize the ONLY thing we have in common with some people IS your shared past. And it's best to keep them in your past! Gotta let em go!

I’m in this scenario right now. I’m 28 years old, married, working on having kids, buying a house, and started my own business about 8 months ago. My priorities have changed so much. Most of my “friends” in my friend group still are doing the same shit every weekend that they’ve been doing since high school: getting drunk, going to bars, etc.

I’ve noticed myself moving further and further away from them. I’ve noticed how they ridicule me and try to bring me down more and more with back handed compliments and passive aggressive comments. They see me moving up so they want to bring me down to their level. At this point, I’m moving on from them. If they’re not lifting you up then they’re bringing you down! ✌️

[Braydog]

Bro they will kick YOU out! Once you get to a certain level they can't stand the sight of you. It eats them inside.

I just blocked a clown friend I've had for 15 years, he hasn't grown a day since the college days. Sometimes you must mix with the right people to get to where you want to go.

Reading books is the best thing you can do to grow. I encourage everybody to do it if you feel low and please don‘t get lazy with it trust me it will be worth it. So many amazing books out there to shape your mind and expand your thinking. Love yourself first and eventually you will have love for others. Have a good day everyone ✌🏼

I tend to gossip too much for a man. Elliot is right I have to stop that garbage.

[lanegardinier]

Learning the difference between a friend and an acquaintance is a major part of growing up, and only one of those is worth your time and energy.

[tjstubblefield]

I'm currently noticing this between a few of my "friends". They often gossip about me and my optimism behind my back, and it hurts. These are high school pals and it's getting harder and harder to even associate with them, even in the slightest way (phone/text/or in person). I'm at a point in my life where i'm starving for progression and an actual future, and they are weighing me down. This video hit all the right spots. Thank you for this video Elliot. - T

I think a good indicator of friendship is jealousy. If your success makes your friends jealous they’re not your friends. Also if you get jealous of them they’re not your friends.

[matisyahup]

friends? I am 34, I have not had friends since I was a teen in high school.
Once you leave high school you have acquaintances, but everything is like business. It is just the nature of getting older, people are more on guard and have more ego. Only when you are a kid and everyone is young and innocent can you have unscripted fun. To me that is real friend.

[abubakrsiddique]

Truth! The friends we surround ourselves with make a huge impact. If all your friends want to do is hang out and play that's what you'll become, but if your friends are productive and grow themselves that's who you'll be too. "Small minds discuss people, great minds discuss ideas"

One of the best quotes ive ever heard "When your on the up you will question yourself but when you are going down you will ridcule others".

[Oktover]

Had friends in the past tell me I was too serious, every time we’d hangout around women they’d act goofy and be loud and shit, sure the girls would laugh, but they all thought I was weird since I wouldn’t laugh or speak lol, now I don’t talk to them and hang around genuine people.

[GLCraft]

Omg the timing on this topic is incredible.

[pacco]

Man... It sucks to say this, but I've gossiped a lot behind the people who I thought had changed where in reality I'm the one who needs to change for the better. May God guide me to the right path because the actions I committed were pure petty. This video should be a lesson for all of us.
