It's quite difficult to be the only one in my friend group who has this mindset of improving myself and working on my skills.

You will find new people on the same path as you along the way.

Thats True, I used to tell my dreams and goals to my friends but then I start noticing the eye rolls and the back gossip so i know I had to let it go, That was fucking painful, damn hard.

Totally true... Today I shared my idea for a business with low investment and the whole process and they just looked at me with *THE EYES* like I was something beyond their imagination.. I just feel bad.

Currently in this situation. For the longest time I have been yearning to improve the quality of my life at the same time with my closest friends. I have this feeling that I don't want my friends to feel that I'm outgrowing them, leaving them behind, and that I'm moving on to the next phase of my life. I want to be with them. Then something happened, it slapped me with reality that it is okay to outgrow people, and we have different life paths. We are still friends, however, our beliefs or values, and life goals aren't aligned any more.

One thing is for sure, I will still clap for them.

The feeling of being helpless and unable to do anything is the worst feeling in the world, especially if you know you can’t do anything about it

I agree, the only way to be a better person is by surrounding yourself with people who are constantly improving themselves, that also motivates me to do the same.

I found this video because this is what is happening. I was what I freely choose to call a "loser", and therefore hung out with losers (people losing out on opportunities and personal growth) and now that I have made a conscience choice to not be like that anymore, one by one, they are disappearing. But the few that are following, and already were ahead of me, are still there, and I see new people (not the same amount, though) entering my sphere.

Thank you for this video!

This is the point where I’m at in life and lost all of my “friends”. My bestfriend is my 73 year old uncle who’s wisdom can literally predict ANYTHING. We are always talking about ways to make money and expand our businesses. He’s the only blood relative I have left living on my dads side of the family and I cherish him with every fiber of my being. He always tells me “Everybody that comes with you, can’t go with you”.

As you take the elevator up, sometimes you stop and you have to let people off on their floor they belong on

[travelerslife]

Of course not you can’t carry everyone but it does not mean you don’t give them the opportunity to allow them to carry their selves
with your helping hand, walking them through the process, but there are some people who rather walk away than try to help . those. Who stuck around when you when you were poor

birds with large wings fly high & alone

[Vivi.the.divaaa]

Its heartbreaking af!! when you realise you are actually the friend who is not ready to step out of comfort zone...and I just realised the problem is with me
But
Ima change that!!:))

This problem can easily be solved if you've never had any friends.

as someone who has lost many good people in her life because they had a different mindset from me, i needed to hear that, to know that i am not a bad person for distancing myself from those who didn't want to be at the top, our paths were different and it was hard letting them god, but after that i started feeling as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, as if i could finally moce ahead without surrounding myself by those who sometimes tried pulling me down because they didn't want to move forward

Why do you feel you have to carry anyone? If you feel you must constantly compete with everyone around you, that's fine, but that is why you're losing friends and family. It is not because they are underachieving, it is because you are pushing your competitiveness onto them and they have their own plans for their own lives. If you think it is important that everyone you know lives up to your expectations then your loneliness is not their fault, it's yours. I hope you either find a satisfying number people who are always challenging you or you learn to chill out and just let everyone else live their own lives so that you can find inner peace and happiness.

I went through the same journey. Had friends who were very close. I got serious about life and they felt like i have done them wrong. They are not bad people and we as friends did have our problems. But eventually someone has to become mature and adress the problems. I lost my bestest of friends, because i felt i was doing better in life and i wanted to help them as well. Soon i realized that i fell back into that dark space. It sucks to lose friends

[isaacb.wilkins]

It’s not about carrying them. But about fighting WITH them. Too often society has become ppl using ppl and once they’ve gotten what they wanted they forget to help those whom helped them. Everyone’s journey is different but as long as they’re willing to fight.. you’re not carrying them your fighting with them.

[DarlingAngel-uikl]

What words...I always have the wisdom and leave ppl bt they just don't leave your hand ...and drag you in their toxic mud ....it has been hard it's been 9 yrs and I'm still struggling.toxic is the word

[nalimourad]
