Misery loves company. So one of the by-products of success is loneliness. Loneliness no one prepares you for.
(Almost) all the well-meaning friends, family, everyone else tend to crumble, mostly unconsciously when you see success.
You have only two jobs in life, then: 1. Love them still, because they don’t know what they are miserable. 2. Love yourself even more, because you are the only support system you have. You’re on your own kid, you always have been.
