This made me laugh so hard I almost choked. Thanks, Nox.

So everyone agrees on happiness instead of passion, and I got a bunch of fears.

E2 is creating a "Loving" vibe that you are giving off. People are going to be drawn to that.

E2 has made me more independent. E2 helped me get out of toxic friendships.

Whew... you acknowledged that they are right!! Takes guts to admit that!!! Sounds like you are ready to deal with it.
The best part is... you are already listening to EHPRA 2.0 and you are already in the process of healing.
Just so that I'm clear. I'm not sure if EHPRA 2.0 makes you into a loving person. What is clear is you are giving off a loving vibe. Hope that makes sense. I've become more forgiving of other people's (how can I put this nicely) um... stupidity. Ok, I'll stop...

I thought you had to be a loving person to give off a loving vibe or at least feel loving in that moment.
And you don't have to stop.
Today I was going thinking about how I didn't have to apologize for me hurting other peoples feelings and how those people don't consider my feelings. Now I got to fake to nice to people so their feelings don't get hurt. The usual back and forth mental garbage. Suddenly I felt like something had been released. Whatever happened is in the past. I can only focus on what can be done now. I'm not trying to rush to make it better either. This is going to take time to heal.
Went to my sisters and instead of feeling uncomfortable I felt welcome. Never would have thought that would happen.
Still nothing groundbreaking to report though. At least nothing external.

Are you normally 'not nice' to these people?
EPRHA 2 is awesome but don't expect massive changes, or even for changes to be instantly apparent. A lot of the EPRHA users on here were already well into long runs before switching to version 2. So a lot of ground work had already been done, and I'm talking about months in some cases.
I had been doing EPRHA for 4 months before switching to V2, and it was a really challenging run. Switching to V2 for me has really given the run a turbo boost, and made things easier. But I can imagine going straight into EPRHA 2 would also be very challenging!! (maybe more so than v1)?

Why wouldn't you expect massive changes? EHPRA 2.0 is designed to tunnel down for as long as you use it until it has prompted you to heal everything back to Day 1. And why would it be harder than V1, when it's designed to be much, much easier and more enjoyable? You guys who started off doing V1, you can't compare the two. V2 is so far ahead of and beyond V1 that it's not easy to compare them. You're not going to understand all of what it's doing until down the road when you look back and see the massive shift you made in life to a better and happier life and self because of it. Most of what it's doing is designed to be subtle and "under the hood" so you don't experience trauma in dealing with, healing and overcoming it. It's about like a nuclear submarine, and you see the conning tower, but the rest remains submerged, and it's pushing millions of tons of water around to do that 30 knots it's doing almost fully submerged. You may not see it on the surface, but it's having a huge impact and your whole life is being improved forever because of it. It just takes time.
I would say that in WhySoSerious' case here it's bringing her to awareness of what needs to change, but it's not going to all happen at once. Awareness is the first step, and she'll take the speed and course that is right for her.
EHPRA 2.0 is incredibly powerful. I just had to hide most of that power from the conscious awareness to keep the program as safe and effective as possible.
