To think that nobody understands?

It's like no matter who I talk to, nobody I'm close to really understands my wants and needs. For a long time now I've felt a calling upwards a spirtual path of learning and understanding self to the highest degree, however everybody around me, friends and family always try to inflict me with their own problems and never really listen or understand when I try and express my great need to change my life in all aspects to be a better person. It's like I have no one to go to, no one to walk with and no one to help me see the way except for my books. Are we ment to walk our own path irrigardless of the connections we will lose from our past?

Is It Normal?

  • Do what you think you should do to improve your life. Don't let others get in the way, they will follow you as long as you continue to love each other. Don't tell them, show them. If they do not wish to follow, tell them that they don't have to like your new way of life, just as long as they support it. I hope that helped :)

  • yes... just don't join a cult or anything.

    if you feel a spiritual calling, follow it. just don't fall for the people trying to sucker you into their "religion" unless you truly believe as they do.

    in general, i think the most rewarding path is the one you find for yourself.

  • In more ways than one, I have come to believe everybody feels the same. Many people want attention, but few offer it. Them pushing their problems unto you is no different than you trying to shove your spiritual journey down their throat.

  • I feel the same way, but it could be due to the philosophy class I just completed.

  • i'm the same. i feel that there's more to life and i'm not exactly happy now. but, when i try and tell people around me that, they kinda don't get it. it frustrates me because i don't know what to do. and yes, i thought too that maybe going to the spiritual path might just give me peace, but nah it feels like hypocrisy.so i'm left wanting more and feeling more alone because people don't understand. or is there something i'm missing out and don't understand?
