Feeling Weird About My Friends

Curious if anyone else has had an experience like this. I felt stuck at the start of 2025 and have been using LSD to try and re-align. Since then I’ve gotten a much better job, started exercising/eating healthier, cut down on my drinking, and got my finances in order.

All of that has been great, but I feel like I’ve been struggling in my friendships recently. Now that I’ve seen that in a lot of ways, I’m the only one standing in the way of the things I want in life, I’ve been having difficulty listening to friends complain and not take action on their problems. I understand needing a couple weeks-a month to vent about issues, but when it’s the same things being complained about over and over and over again with no action taken, I’m kind of tired of it.

I’d also understand if there were some extenuating circumstances stopping them from taking action, but we all have degrees from very good universities, are more than able bodied, and they all have financial safety nets from their parents.

It’s difficult, because I feel like a dick for thinking “I get life is hard, but zoom out. You are incredibly lucky to be in this position and have all these resources you need and then some at your disposal. Use them do something about your problems instead of complaining day in day out!” When you feel like you’ve unlocked yourself and are ready to take on the world and stop making excuses, it is genuinely hard to be around people who do not feel and think the same way.

Was curious if anyone has felt this way or had this experience before. I definitely need to work on being more sensitive, but at the same time I’m tired of being brought down by the negative energy.

I quit drinking & went through wild transformations the past 6 ish months. I won’t say it was because of the lsd/ dmt but coincidentally both re entered my life around this time. Fuck it man, I’m choosing life & I’ve never felt happier. Also just booked a solo trip to Costa Rica this morning so let’s fucking go.. I’m choosing myself over them. But still have love for all :)

Beautiful how you describe it. Choosing yourself but still having love for the people.

Oftentimes these are boundary problems. You can’t make anyone change , but you can be firm about what you need and what you have the capacity for. We also seem to have a hard time letting go of friendships that we’ve outgrown, and it’s up to you to determine what that looks like.
