The emotional connections that are fostered over the years spent socializing and networking away are to only accentuate your life. How can that be so? Surely our life is governed and judged by the richness it has in the terms of friendships, relationships, and the like!
Self-love comes first, being, loving, and working (playing) within you and your being is the ultimate prize of growth, for if in lack there is only senseless suffering. The relationships and social standings one amasses during their lifetime are an additive to the mix, the whole pie is the relationship you foster with your self, through the self is the all, the world soul, and all else, all others, forever more.
So then, it is to say that your life can thrive without those relationships, that even for the natural social component of human life, one can thrive solo. This only allows relationships to add to your life, instead of making up the entire life, for else otherwise, one would become controlled by the very additives that were meant only to allow further expression of self.
Prioritize self-love, you live with you until you go on. Ensure that the relationship with self is as unconditional love. For how you treat yourself reflects the extent to which you can ultimately love and treat others. Behind the guise of self-sacrificial and arguably toxic habits of greater love and acceptance of others, that poisons the very self that must be filled with love first.
Fill your cup up and allow it to overflow into the cups of others. Pouring your cup out sacrificially results in the darkening of the spirit and a greater rut to love yourself out of.
A reminder that the self is the collective, for the individual is a constituent inseparable from the interconnected web of God.
Meditate.
