Hi there, fellow Vietnamese. I have been struggling to find the answer for that same question and after some serious contemplating and self-reflecting I have come up with the best solution for myself, hope it'd apply to your case. Committing to a company!! Yes, it sucks to work for someone else, when you know fair well that you have great potential and you can do and achieve so much when you have that sense of freedom. But hey, you're only 22 years old. Even tho you would love to believe you are wiser than most people your age, there are a lot of things you still need to learn, develop (mentally, spiritually, financially, heck even physically) in order to achieve that ultimate goal "being self-employed and eventually reaching financial freedom". You are still contributing greatly to the society while working for that start-up, so why not? Taking that 2-3 years there as an opportunity to grow and prep yourself for that future you have been dreaming of. Hope this help you somehow haha. If you live in Saigon or Hanoi let's have some chats after this sucky quarantine is over! It's nice to finally meet someone here who's Vietnamese :))

I'm coming to term with my loneliness at this point but having no friends feels kinda suck sometimes

I'm a 23 years old INTP female. Really hope that I can receive some advice from my fellow self-actualizers out there. I have been on the journey of self-actualizing for almost 3 years now. Everything has been great, I become more self-aware, self-conscious, I can see that my EQ has increased tremendously over the years and I'm able to read others' emotions and my own emotions quite effortlessly. The problem here is that, somehow becoming more self-actualized makes me more and more lonely. I don't have any friends. Like... 0. My only support system is my girlfriend. She's my partner, my lover, my best best friend. But because I don't have any friends beside her I have become super dependent on her, emotionally. I've lost touch with my friends throughout the years cuz as I grow, I can't stand being friends with people who are so unaware, unmotivated, and generally not healthy for me. And I'm also at the age when making friends with strangers is so difficult. I figure that many of you guys have experienced the same situation. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and maybe some advice if possible. Stay healthy, stay conscious <3
