Ever since I started to really work on self-improvement, more and more people around me started to seem toxic, neurotic, full of traumas and prejudice. I am guilty of the same and I do try to use these people to grow myself, but what troubles me is that the more I do this, the more lonely and distanced from others I feel. I understand that in a sense, we are all alone, but on the other hand, I don't think we have to feel this way, or feel this way and still be happy. We do need connection. Does anyone run into the same thing? Is there a way out?
