Feeling lonely and misunderstood

Look, if you would please stop hurting me with the truth, that would be grand.

In seriousness, this is probably the worst part. I still haven't quite got the knack of being alone rather than lonely.

Outgrowing friends can be so hard. Been through a lot of that this year and it's heart breaking.

So true. By my early 30s I now have precisely 0 friends on my road to levelling up after realising they were surface level bullshit “friendships”. No more texting me to hook me in for a catch-up, only to ghost me when I reply confirming my availability. No more self-censoring around my libfem friends who are pro porn/sex-work. No more tolerating being thrown under the bus for male attention/validation.

It’s liberating, but by god it can be lonely sometimes. Then I just think of how anxious and shitty I’d feel in their company and appreciate my current peace of mind and sanity.

Outgrowing people hurts a lot, but it's so worth it in the long term.

The toughest symptom of leveling up is that women just don’t take to me as much as they used to. They always like me at first, but once we become closer and they start talking about dating crappy men, they realize pretty quickly that we’re on different pages and for some reason a lot of women aren’t ok with that.

However there are so many women who have told me that they learn a lot from me and that I inspire them to have higher standards and that makes it all worth it for me.
