As I venture into entrepreneurship/self development, I have developed a high sense of self. It has made me realize how much I let people disrespect me and use me as a doormat without me even knowing. It is as if a tiger born into a zoo think its okay and normal for "others" to throw food when "they" find it convenient when in your DNA, you are meant to hunt a god damn huge gazelle and eat it when you please, not when others "say" you can.
Needless to say, I have seen where I have been needy in both my relationships with my family and friends and it is not pretty and I feel ashamed of my past self. It is as if a Tiger from the jungle sees a tiger in a zoo being obedient to the zoo workers. F*ck that. The tiger is meant to be free and wild. However, I find that most people are like this. They get spit on by life and they don't even know it. They don't realize they are ALIVE and that there is so much more to life then a 9-5, a white picket fence and wife and 2.5 kids.
I used to always think lone people were losers (some of them are truly weird and messed up) but I find my own company to be very enjoyable. This may sound like narcissism but it is not. Narcissism is when you think you are always right. I just really enjoy my life and the feeling in my own body of pride, content, and feeling like I am in control of my destiny.
I know that there are others like me who feel this way but our relationships will now be interdependent rather than codependent which is what many of my relationships were like. Just a little rant and thought I'd share because maybe someone else feels the same.
