It's interesting because I think the same thing as you. But sometimes I catch myself thinking like this

I've been trying to understand this. Just curious, say I have this friend and his name is Jason. I go to the park with Jason and have a conversation with him, he's 'there' within my direct experience. Now I'm home, I think of Jason but he is just a concept in my mind so Jason no longer exists as anything more than a concept, just like Santa is a concept in my mind. I am Jason pretending as God that I am separate from Jason and I am simply imagining Jason and his whole life within my mind but this is all just an illusion. What do you think about this? -

Gratefully, I have friends who, even though they wouldn't completely understand if I have a huge rant about my existential crisis will sit there and listen. Honestly though bro you might not find friends who have been on the path but you can find friends who will listen and make an effort nonetheless. Also, journaling has really helped me. But also, this weird phase where your ego is still bruised by Truth is something I've been going through. To be honest, I've kind of accepted that I'm going to be in this phase for however long it requires, so I've just chosen to start to enjoy it more. The way I've thought about it in a relative sense is like I've been born too early for my time and I'm just cruising through the dark ages but in a really fun and playful way. Like that's what I as God decided to do in this lifetime. I've also had the thought in my head that's kept me moving, it's not a bug, it's a feature. If God wanted to God could've created a bullshit game where awakening wasn't possible. But honestly, bro you don't have to be lonely, there are more open-minded people out there who will listen to you rant even though they can't completely understand. I'm telling you the loneliness factor is so beautiful, like it's like a feeling where I can feel what at the end of working through this existential crisis and I feel like I'm gonna feel like I wouldn't have it any other way, this dream is so cool. loneliness is freeing, also on Leo's video Infinity Of Gods near the end he talks about this, I suggest you look at that. I also do this thing where I have a conversation with God in my mind, even though I'm just talking to myself. I guess the point is there are so many ways to go about it depending on how you are I guess . -

What in the vinland saga

A great physique really says a lot about a person’s character. To me, having a good physique is a form of self-love, and it often reflects positively on how we connect with others. For me, getting in shape kicked off a whole chain reaction. Once I started building my physique, I began to think about how I could improve other parts of my life. I started reading books, meditating, journaling, and even working on my finances. Along the way, I met a lot of like-minded people who were also focused on self-improvement. They were genuine and chose not to just follow the crowd, which made a huge difference in my life. Now, here I am on a spiritual forum, discussing the nature of existence. Sometimes building a physique is the first start to deciding you wanna build a really cool life for yourself.

Yes, I’d like to apologize for my lack of specificity. When I refer to a good physique, it can vary from person to person. Some might envision a professional bodybuilder's physique, while others may simply think of being lean with minimal muscle mass. Then there are those who might aspire to look like Leo; he’s lean without much muscle mass but still appears healthy and fit. Ultimately, it’s about the physique you envision in your mind, the one that makes you think, 'This is how I want to look.'

Don't get me wrong, i'm just saying that really helped. But it's not the end of all your problems. I ask you have you ever taken the time to build a good physique for yourself?

I’d also say to build a network and learn to speak to literally anyone and everyone. You’ll start becoming a bit of a network funnel, connecting people together. Good social skills can make life so much more enjoyable, so don’t sleep on this. Don’t sleep on physical appearance as well. Building a nice physique genuinely made people like me more.

Hit the gym and read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie—that should do the trick. There are genuinely some interesting people at the gym. Develop your charisma; being introverted is absolutely no excuse not to interact with the world. If you’re feeling 'introverted,' consider starting a martial art as well. I’ll be honest: if you were truly interesting, you wouldn’t struggle to make friends. Trust me, I’ve seen both sides of the coin. This is really what helped me.
