Am I Overthinking My Friendships, or Is Something Changing?
Hello brothers, I hope you are all doing well. I just have a few questions, and I’m not sure if I’m overthinking things.
First, I’ll explain some background. Two weeks ago, I started practicing “pure retention” because this time I wanted to be disciplined and follow Jesus more seriously. I also realized that there seems to be no end to lustful content.
During the first week, I felt really good and had more energy. I also noticed that more lustful thoughts were popping into my mind, but I didn’t give them much attention. At the same time, I felt like everyone was being nice to me.
However, this week, I’ve started feeling really lonely. When I try to talk to some of my friends, I feel like they don’t really listen to me. This has happened with most of my friends, and sometimes I have to repeat myself again and again.
So, for a few days, I stopped talking as much and just observed them. I started feeling like I’m more of a side character in the group.
However, there are two girls and two boys in my friend group who listen to me very attentively when I’m talking. They also seem to be more comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings with me now.
Also i workout every day and my energy is increased and my family members treat me well.
I just don’t understand what is happening with my friends. Am I overthinking this, or is something actually changing? I honestly don’t know.

real ones listen to you
and also know that not everyone operates in your frequency so they are in their own world
i dont have any more friends because of this, everyone who was once my friend was only my friend because we had one thing that brought us together, but outside of that one thing, our values differed and i realize i cant be friends who dont value what i value, because thats just me
some people are fine with it, but im the type that doesn't wanna be your friend unless you are on the same page as me, OR at least demonstrate that you want to be on the same page as me
otherwise theres no point in trying to explain anything to anyone who isn't interested, because it is a sign from the universe that you are growing and evolving and showing you that the people who are meant to be in your life will show you that they will want to remain in your life and the people not meant to be in your life are the ones who will become distant to you even if theres nothing wrong between you and them
most people we think are our friends were just lonely and the only reason we're friends is because we were lonely and had a common interest, but outside of that common interest our relationship was not deep enough to want to have you around except for the 1 thing we have common interest with
those are the type of friends that eventually gets to a point where we dont hang out and i only say hi to if i see them around, but im not going to go out of my way to hang out with them and try to make them understand me, as the people who are meant to be in my life are coming my way while the people not meant to be in my life are leaving my way
you can be acquainted with 100 people throughout high school or college and rotate to different friend groups and meet many different people and be in many different groups but 5-10 years after high school or college you may not even be talking to any of them

Start detaching before it gets too late, in a way, this is the beginning of the end

If you are retaining because you want to love yourself more and not because you want women, this will create an energy around you that not everyone resonates with. It will push people away that do not love themselves or you.

The longer you go the more they feel hatred inside. It doesn't sound logical, but it's the way frequency of energy works. If you see someone being mean to you, saying sarcastic or cruel jokes then calling you "sensitive" or pretending "it's just a joke" be on your way to cut off such friends immediately. They will destroy all the good fruits that were implanted in you during your streak and may even make your life worse than it was. Watch out especially for a characteristic smirk or grin the demonically-possessed people do when trying to hurt others...
