I can relate to Nietzsche's sentiment. I'm keenly aware of the manipulative psychological games people play in social groups to mold others for their own purposes. Although I once participated in these games, I never truly believed in them. When I stopped pretending and embraced my true beliefs, I faced ostracism from most friends and family. Surprisingly, this rejection has been liberating. While I still care about them, they can no longer control or dictate my beliefs, and they resent me for reclaiming my autonomy.
