I'm in the same boat. It's taken me years to reverse or divorce myself from beliefs I thought were rock-solid and correct. All of my political views are down the drain. I can barely agree with anyone on either side or even the center because it's all poisoned by fiat. Developing rational views about social issues that are real, but overblown and used as political ammunition was like talking myself off a ledge. I could not even hear it at first, literally. Our minds are being trained to be blind and deaf to thought crimes.

Man I can relate to this hard. It’s damn near impossible for me to find a girlfriend bc they’re all vaxxed liberals where I live and the rare contrarians are fake Christian “conservatives”, both types I’m fundamentally at odds with.

I think people with clear minds focused on truth historically end up alienated. I’ve accepted my situation. Luckily I do have real life long friends and my family is pretty cool, though hopelessly misguided.

I’d rather have integrity than anything else. I’ve chosen my path.

I've always been a fairly solitary person, but man it's difficult to find people in general who really question the status quo, much less single women who you also get along with. At this point, my criteria is just Bitcoin. Anyone who adopts Bitcoin is falling down the rabbit hole one way or another. The cracks in clown world just become so glaring after seeing the light of the orange coin.

Anyway, I've decided for a long time now not to rush into any relationships. If it's meant to be it will be, but otherwise, spiritual pursuits, my career, hobbies, and friends and familiy are fulfilling in the meantime.

Well, not really. If you look at my profile, it says Vedic Seeker, Martial Human, Bitcoin Maximalist.

Study of the Vedas, American Kempo, and Bitcoin represent my core values and I think there's a good chance I can get along with anyone who shares any of those three as core to them as well.

I’m right there with you. Nostr and Bitcoin help a lot too. Sort of like a support group for people like us; where we can share our thoughts and interests, our triumphs and failures / frustrations with likeminded people. Thankful for it and all the cool people I’ve connected with here 🧡💜🫂

I'm really grateful for you and everyone here on nostr and all of the people in Bitcoin who led me and held my hand down the rabbit hole. I meant it when I was drunk the other night too haha.

All of this intellectual pursuit is just half of the story with me too. I also had to deal with and overcome some really bad depression and anxiety that had been building up for 5-6 years before I really started to make headway in 2021. Nowadays I'm doing pretty well, but there's no way for me to overstate how much help I had from others along the way. We really are a species built on community, and I'm glad to have this one.
