When you go on a personal transformation journey, when you indulge yourself seriously in personal growth trajectory and personal development, then the normal things happening around you look different to you and you look different to a common person.
Improving your self-image and identity brings in some changes in you. Though they are positive attributes which are beneficial not only to you but also to the people around you, it is difficult for the people around you to accept the ‘new’ you immediately. It takes time for you to adopt and even longer time for the people around you to adopt to the changes taking place in your personality. Improving your self image and identity changes you to the core.
It is normal to have a different experience with you when your beliefs, values, thoughts, behaviour, attitude, decisions change. You yourself would look at the world with a different outlook and others would perceive you differently.
Meanwhile until you get and others get adjusted to the higher standard version of yourself, you might have accept the fact that you are going to be ignored at first, then you might be ridiculed and dismissed for a while, later you might even face backlash and people may revolt against you. However, when you believe in yourself and do not submit to outside pressure, there comes a time when you will proud of yourself. People who love you will accept you and follow you.
