My Friends & My New Path?

[arlonicholson]

I was quite a bad boy in school, very disrespectful, rude, ignorant, that was until I got kicked out, I started to enjoy learning new stuff on my PC, the most thing I loved learning about with spirituality, and that is what started my new path of life, I have started meditating, some substances has helped me also, I have become more passionate and emotional about the beauty of earth, etc.

My friends, or my best friend, is finding it hard that I am not acting the same, she cannot take me seriously, (Her words.) When I talk about this stuff. It seems like we have nothing in common any more, and I am getting a bit bored with her.

What do I do in this situation? When I meet her, because I am not acting like I used to, (causing trouble, illegal stuff, etc.) She is saying that I am boring, or moody, and it's irritating because I am not moody or boring, I am just in a calm state of mind.

Help someone!

I read some posts on that, sounds a lot like my symptoms, hah!

She's just dragging me down, I need to get rid of all my bad friends to start this path properly.

erg, friends are friends, i suggest you not abandon them.
if you're in a situation where people are urging you towards
unhealthy things, then they're not being friendly to you, but
you can remain "friendly" to them even if you need to go your
separate ways. (your kind-heartedness could provide them a
lifeline at some future point -- maybe just the memory of how
you behaved could help them)

Sometimes friends grow apart, especially when one is experiencing internal changes when they begin their awakening process...If your friends are encouraging you to engage in behaviors which are no longer in alignment with your current state of being, it's best to let them go...They have their own life path and experiences just as you have your own. As HORRACE suggested, if you choose to go your separate ways you can be friendly to them, but you don't need that kind of negativity in your life if it's toxic and unhealthy behavior...

You may find later in life your friends may experience their own awakening and change their ways as you did yours (or they may not, which is another possibility)...

I have a very strong feeling you will begin to connect with new individuals who are on a similar path as you...So keep yourself open to new connections as you continue to move forward and grow in your spiritual journey...
