Oh I feel this! The thing that gets me the most is that I’m the only one of my family who lives a simple and intentional life. I watch my siblings and extended family live these ‘fine’ lives and I get quite embarrassed when I talk to them about things with such passion.
They always mention how calm and happy I am, and I can’t help but feel like an alien to them. It can be exhausting being around ‘fine’ people sometimes. I don’t know if you’ve experienced similar? 😅

Of course! In friends and family too. I think it's a recurring theme amongst almost anyone who is trying to do something different
"being abandoned by your tribe" is a common fear now, too. What will they do if I change?
I worried about that too. The good ones will stick around 🙂
