Success Is Lonely — Nobody Talks About That

We talk about the grind.
We celebrate the wins.
We admire the promotions, the titles, the visible progress.

But no one really talks about the loneliness that sometimes comes with growth.

When you level up, not everyone comes with you.
Some feel intimidated.
Some feel distant.
Some just don’t understand the new responsibilities you carry.

Sometimes success costs comfort.

Have you ever felt isolated while achieving something big?
Did it change your circle — or your perspective?

Success came with two big moves in location a few years apart. Lots of liss with that kind of step each time. Some in my newer circle here couldn't sit well with it vs their situation. I celebrated their wins but was often alone when more came for me.
