Several years ago, I had an ayahuasca experience that changed my life. It coonvinced me to go back to school and finish a degree. I stuck it out even when things were hard and even went to grad school afterwards. But I also realized that I’m not cut out for the corporate world, and had to cut off unhealthy relationships with a former significant other and several superficial friends.

I think you will find it easier to make real connections with people as psychedelics become decriminalized and mre socially acceptable. You should look for a psychedelic meetup group in your area. I have found some of my closest friends this way over the past few years.
