As the saying goes, "It's lonely at the top"

You realize that a lot of your "friends" don't have your best interest in mind and will try to drag you back down to your old ways once they see that you are improving. Your improvement makes them feel uncomfortable with their stagnation and they don't have the determination or willpower to do what you're doing. It's the "crabs in a bucket" mentality.

With this in mind, your circle of friends gets smaller and smaller. Whether you want to admit it or not, you are a sum of your five closest friends, so if you hang out with a bunch of drunk/druggie losers that wanna play video games all day, then guess what? you are the sixth.

Be comfortable being alone some times and you will likely grow to enjoy it.

My old friends

1) Don't listen, only want to assert their ideas and be right.

2) Under achieving

3)Boring (nothing to offer conversational-wise)

4)Worship women (ex. Oh I did this girl -> their lives still remain beta; Oh I like her -> then does nothing about it or showers them with gifts)

5)Not open to new ideas (this is apparent in conversation: there are moments that require you to explore new concepts/ideas; similar to boring they don't want to explore and stick to their ideology).

I lost a lot of friends for this reason and actively grew to resent them as I felt disrespected. Now I'm working on synthesizing these views a bit more and engaging them to fill some social voids in my life. I view most of these people as a resource to get out more, which I've found to have improve my life more than cutting them out entirely. You don't have to feel like you're a doormat. It shouldn't matter to you how they view you as long as your emotional priorities are straight and you aren't investing in them as anything more than a resource for social fulfillment and neediness management.

The change will be more dramatic if you were naturally more beta.

Your personal universe takes a shock to its system as you rebrand yourself as assertive.

People will resent you and try putting you back down.

Was never beta before in my circle, however RP gives you the lens to easily identify why those around you do what they do.

Call it greater insight. You also become calculating.

Lost all from my old friend circle except for one guy who's still sticking with me. Use your journey to filter the trash (trust me, there's lots of it out there). You'll find new people however through lifting etc.

A lot of my friends became more redpill as well due to exposure to Jordan Peterson, change my mind guy, and Ben Shapiro, so when I tell them something redpill they usually understand where I’m coming from. I’m 18 btw. Things are looking up.
