In the past 2 years I feel I have made massive changes. Therapy, medication and ditching toxic habits and relationships have made me feel better than ever.
Problem is, I feel I am outgrowing my close relationships. My best friend of 7 years is still seemingly dealing with a lot of the problems I used to, the more we talk, the less I feel we have to talk about. She wants to tell me about her drinking, drug use and promiscuity. How much she hates her life and just in general I feel are bad decisions.
I do not want to feel judgemental, or feel like I am above her, because I truly don't feel like that. I am feeling like she has no interest in what I have to say now though. I talk to her about my new healthy lifestyle, meditation or just about things I am reading.. in general the things that are important to me right now etc.. and the conversation is dead or reverts back to her. Same with my family, when we talk I feel we have nothing in common. They are talking about fast food or spending money and If I mention what I'm doing, I feel awkward like I'm bragging about things so I just have come to not telling them anything.
It feels kind of lonely..
I feel like all of my relationships lack common interest.. but I don't really feel like lessening contact or anything. I just want to surround myself with healthy people.
Anybody been in a similar place? Any advice?
