You don't need anyone, people come and go and that's and alpha mindset to have. Been having issues getting there though. I have external confidence but my internal dogma is a mess..the external confidence does not reflect what's going on inside.


A bunch of hobbies? A ton of alone time? Doing things by yourself? How did you get there

Work on bettering yourself. Working out for me is more about mental health than trying to get swole. My goal isn't even to get big or ripped, just for health.

Do stuff you enjoy. Spend time outdoors. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to get to a certain level in life.

It's been tough during covid brah...not much to do and its cold as fukk out right now. No kayaking/golfing at the moment to stay entertained. Add the work from home aspect and there ain't chit going on. I can be alone, but after a couple weeks you start to go a little crazy

This is a theme I too have struggled with OP. Lately it has gotten much better

Things that really help is just really paying attention to and directing where your focus goes. Social media and comparison is going to make it 10000x harder to enjoy what YOU are doing. Also being really honest with yourself and discovering who you are and what you enjoy. Working towards those things, having goals that truly ignite you not just because society says so. Realizing that most people are actually lame af and that you shouldn’t even want their approval or attention.

Actionable steps are things like meditating, spending time alone doing things you like minimizing social media, treating and taking care of yourself, etc

You spent 24/7/365 around yourself and no one else so might as well make hanging out with yourself a good time

And hobbies, goals, something to look forward to and wake up for everyday (purpose) is always good
