I don’t relate to the past version of myself at all, and that makes it hard to connect with people from my past.

My self-image changed so much over time that when people still see me as who I used to be, it feels off.

For them it feels normal and expected, but for me it’s like nails on a chalkboard.

that’s a great thing, you’re basically invincible. so you sometimes feel like your own friends don’t even know the “real” you?

Can relate. A old Highschool friend recently reached out to reconnect through or kids. I ended up ghosting her. Not proud, but it’s no use to ride backwards.

I can connect with that. Can feel stuck in time in certain relationships despite efforts to move into the present.

I have been coming to that realization since last summer. There’s no going back.

Same here. The best part is how easy I can let go. There were some people in my life I thought we would be friends forever. Now only selected few ones remain and it feels great! Maybe one day they will get it..

Totally normal. You’re getting wiser and fine tuning your self identity.

Ditto. I feel like I sound really extremist to them, it makes me self censor. I dont like it.

That’s a really understandable feeling. Change means growth, but some people still hold on to the old version of us. What matters most is that you’re comfortable with who you are now, not who you used to be.

I legit resonate with this. I try to act like my old self for people to feel comfortable, but it's zero percent fun and people still don't know me.

I like noticing differences in people I've known for a long time. I know I change super easily and take on the new as if I've always been that way, but some others don't keep up or they don't change very quickly so it's harder for them to relate or notice change. I'm glad I can notice change, cause...

I talked about that in my #vlogs. I felt it first becoming an entrepreneur and then so much more becoming a bitcoiner

We live at least 5 lives. Those of us who have been through recovery or found God or studied something like Bitcoin for long enough have already turbo ran 3 or 4 of these The past feels like a strange movie because it is

I can 100% relate to this. Over the last twelve months I’ve become a completely different person and when I meet old friends back in my hometown, I realize how hard it is to connect in the same way. It’s beautiful and painful at the same time.

I 100% relate to this with friends I haven't spoken to for years and come across more recently. But one thing I wonder is how come it still works with the people who I spent large amounts of time with through that transformation, like my parents and my siblings. I wonder if: 1) The transformatio...

You have to remember, they’re different too The government’s monopoly on our data allows them to pollinate their mind with whatever they deem necessary https://blossom.primal.net/4c5eb9648cb0d4a0a3267c78bc422b66e009b630bd64407e683b52977c5bf8c3.png

I feel like I've been through that at least twice in my life. In my early twenties, I quit drinking and I couldn't really relate to my existing friends as then all drank heavily. I needed to make new friends In my thirties, I went through a crazy breakup and was depressed for a couple of years. I t...

I see you as the whip smart confident male voice who values God and family. I also can’t imagine you actually giving AF what anyone else thinks of you. I’m guessing these people are familial.

Some who knew past me seem to want to bring me back down to that level. I think they want to be reassured in their lack of growth. It is hard to maintain meaningful relationships with them
