And he was the first one that ever said that to me. And I hadn't seen him in years. And it was just so, it was just a really cool moment for me where I really felt something like he likes this version of me better. And it was when I told him, no, I don't want a shot. They don't want to do that. I'm a recovered alcoholic.

I can have a beer from here time to time, but I don't want to sit and do shots with you. That's a dangerous road for me. And I said, no, I'm good. I don't do that anymore. He goes, man, I really like this version of you better. What a cool thing. But that's been a five-year timeline. So it's not unlike starting a business. You go through this. From the moment you change...

to what one might consider to be the end result, you're going to experience a pretty high level of loneliness in between those two points because you're not healthy enough for the new folks and you're way too healthy. So even having one boundary can make you too healthy for everyone around you.

That profound when you're deep in that people-pleasing well is one boundary will make people start to turn on you. Like, hey, I don't want to go to your birthday party. Why? Because I don't want to. That's it. I don't want to. Because I value my time and I spend it with my family on Sundays. It could be any number of damn things, right? But that one boundary can really set the tone.

It's like in the parlance of fighting, if I jab you in the face, I've now set the tone. We know who's in control, right? And when you take control, other people aren't going to like it. So you immediately start to see people exit stage left, and you're looking ahead, and you don't see a lot. You see an empty wilderness.

Because loneliness presents with it a massive amount of freedom. Like, I could do what I wanted when I wanted, had to answer to nobody, had nowhere to be, nothing to do. My options were limitless. I ate when I wanted, I shit when I wanted, I went to movies by myself. And so, initially it will get worse. Worse is a weird way of saying it.

Right? I get a lot of people that, you know, whether it's on my channel or in my groups or whatever, they'll say, well, you know, if I do this, then, you know, let's pretend you have a narcissistic person. By the way, I hate that term. I also hate the term manifestation. We can do that on another time. But let's pretend, well, my narcissistic whatever is not going to like that.
