You're thinking about your startup practically all the time. Everything you do is for your startup. The majority of your time is spent on learning (reading books, listening to podcasts, etc) and taking action (hustling, working directly on your startup).
Then suddenly, you're invited out to a social event/gathering. You realize that you have nothing in common with the people around you. Nobody else is really in the same boat as you are. Nobody's working on a startup or has any interest in startups. Rather, everybody is talking about sports, personal drama, other people, etc. You can't find any connection.
The worst part about this is that you're young. Early twenties young. That's an ideal time when you should be building long-lasting relationships, chasing after girls/boys, socializing and having fun. Right? You feel that you might be missing out on an important aspect of your life, and might even be harming your social/interpersonal development.
I'm sure there are others who are in this situation. What do you do and how do you manage?
