If you’re secretly a bit masochistic or tend to engage in self destructive habits or behaviors, you can literally transform that into a superpower. You’re already a step above the rest: some part of you enjoys the dopamine rush and addiction of pain. Most of people’s inaction stems from a subconscious desire to avoid pain or discomfort. Instead of harming yourself with bad habits/situations/people, channel that energy into trying new things, putting yourself out there, working out, the discomfort of being a beginner at something, allowing yourself the risk of being rejected or told no. Transform and alchemize your energy and get addicted to that instead.
The right circle of friends around you will give you the worldly support you’ll need to get through life. Regardless of how much our generation may romanticize isolation, the truth is that we were put on this planet to live in community, we were never meant to do life alone.
It is better to be alone than surrounded by the wrong people, and it’s even better to be surrounded by the right people than to be alone.
