How do you guys deal with outgrowing friends that aren't into the mustachian lifestyle??
I mean, it's not like one is going to stop being friends with anyone that is leading a consumerism overloaded life but I have found myself shying away lately from friends whose big chunk of focus is acquiring crap. I just cannot relate and have lose interest.
So far, I haven't shun anyone out (not sure I intend to?), it's just more of a "putting space between" type of thing.
What is the best way to do so without coming off as a jerk or the like??
Most of the time I do enjoy seeing those friends once every few months or so but when they want more constant contact it's hard to decline without a "real" reason since you can only say you're busy so many times. what do you guys do? or am I alone with these feelings?
I must admit, I am also developing a very deep interest in social justice so the people that live at the other end of the spectrum (i.e. watch american idol for entertainment, drive huge trucks to office jobs, go shopping every weekend, complaint there's nothing normal people can do about poverty and injustice, etc) are starting to irk me in a specially bad way...which is bad because there's a lot of people like that out there. I'm afraid I'm becoming a grouch!?!
Anyone else feel like these and/or have learnt how to deal with declining spending time with people you don't have shared philosophies with???
Kind of an awkward question, isn't it? haha
