Hi Daniel - I love your attitude about personal development and self-actualization. You are on the right path. Keep doing what you are doing; you are definitely making a difference.
As an actualizer, do you find it difficult to maintain close relationships (friendships, romantic, etc.) with other people who are not actualizers?

Thank you Max! Yes it can be hard at times to relate to those who are not on the same path. At times I have judged people who aren’t interested in self-actualization and felt that they were somehow not measuring up. But the truth is that everyone is on their own journey and values different things. I find now I share my actualizer passions with those who relate (like yourself) and with others I stay within the confines of what matters to them 😊 I hope that makes sense!
