Why Do I Feel So Alone on This Path?

There’s a silence that fills your world when you begin to wake up.

Not the serene kind—

but the kind that echoes with absence.

Your friends don’t understand you anymore.

Your partner thinks you’re being “too deep.”

And you start wondering…

“Am I the only one going through this?”

You’re not.

But I know it can feel that way (feel alone).

The Loneliness of Seeing Through the Illusion

Waking up isn’t like joining a club.

It’s like leaving one.

The moment you stop playing the game—

of success, identity, seeking, pleasing—

you begin to see just how much of your life was shaped by unconscious conditioning.

And suddenly,

the conversations that once felt full now seem empty.

The goals that once excited you now feel hollow.

And you’re left floating in a space where few seem to meet you.

But This Aloneness Is Not a Problem

It is the gateway.

Because what you're feeling isn't personal loneliness—

it's the shedding of everything you thought you needed to belong.

You’re not lonely because something’s wrong.

You're lonely because you’re becoming real.

You’re learning to rest in what you are without needing it mirrored by others.

You’re moving from relationship through roles

to connection through presence.

And yes, there’s grief in that.

There’s emptiness.

But there’s also freedom.

The Pain of the Path Is the Price of Truth

No one tells you this part.

That waking up will likely cost you your old self.

That some friends will fall away.

That you'll feel untethered, lost, disoriented.

But this is what it means to walk the razor’s edge of truth.

The moment you stop outsourcing your identity,

you’ll feel the stretch—between what was familiar and what is real.

This is not abandonment.

It’s purification.

You’re Not Meant to Be a Hermit (Unless You Are)

I once believed I had to go it alone.

That isolation was the cost of awakening.

But truth doesn’t isolate.

It just removes the false forms of connection.

It makes room for deeper ones.

When you start living from Being,

you magnetize those who also live from Being.

But you have to endure the in-between.

Connection Without Clinging

What seekers truly long for isn't just companionship.

It's resonance.

To be with others who are not trying to fix you, change you, or entertain you—

but who rest with you in the mystery.

And while it may take time,

these souls will appear.

You’ll recognize them not by their words,

but by their stillness.

Until then, your solitude is sacred.

It’s your initiation.

Yes, this path can feel lonely.

But that loneliness is the echo of your old self dying.
