I am actually saving voting power at the moment but damn your comment deserves it.
What you are experiencing in regards to not being able to relate to normal people anymore is the logical consequence of getting better at your skill and it will get worse.
However, with focus, discipline and steadfastness you will build real authority in your niche which will result in a lot of cash & a good reputation.
Yes I am bracing myself for it getting worse. Onwards and upwards. Cheers Man
