Thank You FDR

[NigelW]

Hello and thank you for taking the time for reading my post.

 

Over the last year I've gone through various podcasts and videos rather obsessively trying to learn as much as I can. I perhaps foolheartedly ignored Stefan's warnings about what speaking the truth can do and what it reveals about people including myself.

 

My life got worse before it got better. I withdrew from college and rejected everyone in my life. Sleepless nights, living paycheck to paycheck, and a general apathy nearly consumed me while I was going through therapy.

 

I made it through that hell and trying to be honest has led me where I am today. I've been vulnerable with those closest to me and it makes them uncomfortable which has led to me being rejected. Getting out of the world of "I need to fix this relationship" has been liberating.

 

I go to work now with a smile on my face. I know that I have debt but it doesn't bother me to the extent it used to. I can have a conversation with someone without isolating myself soon after. There have been noticeable changes in my life thanks to the hard work everyone is doing on FDR.

 

I am still trying to figure out what I ultimately want from life as I have trouble visualizing to that scope, but I think I can say that I want to have meaningful relationships that are on purpose.

 

I sincerely thank Stefan Molyneux for creating this opportunity.

Congratulations on all of your hard work! I'm glad that you persevered through the trials of your life and that you have come out better for it.

 

Please always remember that there are very empathetic and compassionate people on this forum. If you ever have any doubts or concerns, they will be happy to discuss your issues with you in as supportive a manner as they can. That's both the forums and the chats.

Well done mate

That sounds like a tough journey.

But it also gives the impression that the very worst is behind you, and you only have a truly self-defined future to look forward to. The struggle has come and gone and now you can reap the benefits of your trials.
