    You need balance?

  2. Loneliness is the cause of some underlying condition. You need to find out. Sometimes, living in the same circle can also block your thoughts and make things boring. I guess, you need to interact with more people and work on your interests! Take professional help, if needed!

    Hey tony,

    Saw this thread, and I think we are in pretty similar spot after stalking some of your posts previously. It's very difficult to connect with like minded because there are not that many of us. Even close friends and family wouldn't understand necessarily.

    I think the best way is to find something meaningful to do besides trading. Like put % of cashflow into something meaningful, like a cause or something.

    Good luck!

    I have since found a Reddit room called FATfire. Loads of similar stories there.

    P.s. ski and travel (once a month) did it for me.

    Edit:. Happy to help as well if need. A small piece of advise that you already know but have not acted on yet can do wonders I find.

    LONDON — Since Britain voted to leave the European Union more than a year ago, Europeans have mockingly said that the decision will result in an isolated, lonely island nation.

    But Britain, in fact, already has a serious problem with loneliness, research has found. More than nine million people in the country often or always feel lonely, according to a 2017 report published by the Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness.

    The issue prompted Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday to appoint a minister for loneliness.

    “For far too many people, loneliness is the sad reality of modern life,” Mrs. May said in a statement.

    “I want to confront this challenge for our society and for all of us to take action to address the loneliness endured by the elderly, by carers, by those who have lost loved ones — people who have no one to talk to or share their thoughts and experiences with.”

    the problem could kill.

    “It’s proven to be worse for health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day, but it can be overcome and needn’t be a factor in older people’s lives,” he said.

    Imo, loneliness is not the lack of friends or a company, it is within us which makes us feel that we lack something even if we have everything.
