it's not hiding.. One of the key 'features' of being tier 2 - you realize that your perspective even if it includes other perspectives is still a perspective. And any other perspective isn't 'better or worse' and you can respect it. People can be ignorant but they are still people. You can say that you have a different opinion if they ask - it's not pretending or hiding.

true. But do you need to tell about it to them?

I think you don't need to pretend.. You can just understand them and show it. But not necessary you can agree with teir worldview.. It's just their perspective, it's not even that it can be wrong - it's just a perspective..

Socializing is not equal to having deep genuine relationships (a partner, friends, even colleagues).. I totally share if you have reached the level of a spiral wizard - you would be able to understand (and accept) people, but would they understand you?

Do you consider yourself lonely too? Again - it's not about the number of connections around you, it's about the number of true emotional and intellectual peers..

yep.. straight to the point.. It's not a bug.. It might not resonate with 'normys' (as Leo frames it, no offence to anyone, but it quite characterizes tier 1 people), but the more complex and sophisticated some one is - the less people can really understand him..

How do you recognize these people? I know probably what you are saying, but want to go in depth a little bit.. A few questions? The way the person carries himself? Really curious..

cool ) How do you find these people? Do you have such peers?

And do you feel ultimately lonely because of it?

I am not talking about romantic ones (though may be you mean all types of relationships).. Also - being for example at yellow stage - being a hermit - sort of a normal stage - you just know what to do and do it.. But ultimately when you grow further - you realize you still need people.. At least that's what I've realized.. And you don't need a lot of them.. 1-2 - but real true deep connections is enough..

Agree on that physical interaction is needed.. True empathy can show up only IRL.. But also what makes a relationship deep and sustainable - alignment in values, worldview etc.. Physical attraction is good, but not enough..

As things are getting more 'complicated' (in a good meaning) I think efforts are needed. If we are talking about deep meaningful connections - they are not given, they are elaborated, built, it require efforts, navigating conflicts etc.

Got you. But I probably didn't explain myself well.. It's definitely became easier to get into someone's shoes. I don't see any problem talking and finding common ground either with the UFC fan, new ager activist or a business guy, etc.. But I am talking about those who you can be totally trully yourself and create this meaningful strong connection 'for yourself'. How are doing with those?

Some years ago, I quit social networks, dating apps, and similar platforms because the ratio between value and the “damage” no longer felt favorable. Solutions that rely on speed, volume, engagement, and performative self-presentation didn’t work for me. Finding people who truly resonate — who share similar values, depth of thinking, and orientation toward life — became harder, not easier. If you’re at Yellow or above (or late Green), do you experience this as well? How do you solve it?
