Sadly, when you begin to grow, you will find that two things become apparent.
First, you're now going to have to shift to a new circle of acquaintances, because the old ones don't fit anymore; and second, most people not only don't want to grow, they enjoy being at their current level of misery so much that they will fight tooth and nail to preserve it.
There is always a first in every group to realize they are unhappy being stagnant, and do something to fix it. Part of that growth is the transition process from being part of that stagnant group to part of something else, possibly a group that is growing or possibly going it alone. Not always fun or easy, but when growth is necessary, that is the result.
I believe the growth is still much more than worthwhile, however.
