Outgrowing relationships

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?

I can only speak from personal experience and I see some things that look akin to yours.
I've made those similar changes in healthy living, relationships, and even location, and other people don't. They are stuck in their bad habits and it must be where they want to be. Perhaps they don't know the minor changes that could make it better. Not my place to tell them anyway. I do feel like I'm bragging a little when I talk about making healthier choices but I'm really looking for, and not getting, some validation, if only a little "that's good" once. Nothing. I know I shouldn't have to want that, but I do anyway.
Any of this seems like your situation? I don't know how to fix it, but I know I shouldn't want that. Perhaps that's how to fix it, to let go of selling approval.

Definitely happens & as time passes so do those relationships as differences grow them apart.

Lol....I don't need outside validation of my change being good. Not hard for anyone to see the difference in me but it's not about what they see but how I feel inside....but that just bubbles out for those around me & those few I still stay in contact with who knew me from where I came from before to see. Kinda strange feeling to start life over at 54, 2100 miles away from anyone I knew but sometimes it can be the best way to do it too.

Yeah it sounds similar to what I am experiencing for sure!! Except I don't even feel I look for or need validation from others. I purely am doing what I do because it feels good and is just what I have began to believe now.
I used to be sort of a nihilist, now I just feel there is so much more to life, meaning, goals and dreams. It just seems the people around me do not share any of the same views.
If anything, I am bored to death of continuously talking about things that don't have meaning to me anymore and not being able to talk about what I do find interesting. Merely because they don't understand or simply don't care.
My friendships right now just feel shallow..

For example, my friend is going through a phase where her entire life is about dating and other men. Which is fine, but her children need her, she is working towards nothing in life, on financial assistance and complains that she dislikes how things are right now.
I am happy and polite while we talk, I support her and offer advice when asked for. But I am left thinking.. 'don't you want more out of life???'
When she asks about me, I will delve into something that I find amazingly interesting. Working on my well being, polishing up my intuition, things that in general have great meaning to me.. and she seems lost, distracted and usually says 'call me back later i have to go'

I don't know, it just feels I have nothing in common with anybody since leaving behind certain things in my life. I just find it super lonely!! Am I odd? Am i the one who doesn't understand life? Blah.

I definitely feel my past relationships are growing apart. I definitely don't need validation either, I do what I do because I enjoy it and it brings purpose to my life. I feel more satisfied this way whereas before I suffered mentally.

I'm sure things will work out in time and I may meet others who share the same interests. It's just odd right now.. I feel I may be losing it because everyone around me thinks what I care about and believe is just farfetched

That happens a lot when we make major positive changes in our lives. Especially If friends and family stay in the same place. For you own mental health it’s best to let the friendship fade and make new friends who are of the same mindset as you.

Guess what? You kind of interest me and can PM me whenever. If we're friends from it, cool. If not, tried anyway. Your call.

I don't think you're odd at all, you're just changing. Perhaps it's time to meet some new people..

You were around them because of commonality. You evolved. Find new common grounds.

I've outgrown friends, and friends have outgrown me. And some friends I've had for the past 20 years, through all of my growing.

Back when I used to go to church, one of the pastors would say that people are in our lives "for a reason, a season, or a lifetime." I think that's wise. I am one of those people who thinks that everyone you have some kind of relationship with is there for a reason. Some people I've had very short friendships with, some people I've had relationships which have turned out very negatively, and like I've said, some people have been with me for a very long time. But I feel like everyone has been there for some reason. Even if it isn't something super profound.
