How do I deal with your perception of reality changing?
How do I cope with the fact that I’m slowly starting to longer believe in everything I used to believe in? ( religion, identity, sense of reality, spirituality, relationships, social political question etc) it can feel less like “growth” and more like psychological tectonic plates moving underneath me.
I actually think it’s because I grew up in a kinda environment where people shared the same beliefs, culture, norms, religion etc, I never imagined the opposite or really had an opportunity to contradicting views or systems. All over sudden I’m in a world outside that bubble. Then I encounter a wider world and realise people believe completely opposite things,people live meaningful lives under different systems , morality/spirituality/religion aren’t as unanimous as I assumed,
and my old worldview is suddenly *one perspective among many*. I’m genuinely loosing sense of community because everything and everyone that I felt relative to I no longer do. Like I sought of know what to believe but don’t know how to when I feel distant and foreign to my close ones and my community. It also feels like living in a facade where your family and people I grew up with and call your community don’t really know me.
