I was convinced I’d be riding that high roller lifestyle if I worked hard enough. Sold vitamins, or at least tried to. Pestered friends until they started dodging my calls. Those upline promises were B.S. I'm left with a garage full of unsellable pills and nothing but regret. How do you even rebuild your social circle after this?

Everything happens for a reason! Now you've learned, and you can help educate others on the dangers of MLMs. As for your friends, just reach out and be honest, apologize, and be patient. New friends will come from doing things you love and showing the real you. Keep your head up!

MLM, huh? Finally seen the light, I see. Therapy might not be a bad start to deal with the guilt and regret. Then go find people who didn’t know you as the vitamin-pusher. Local gaming groups, sports clubs, book clubs, whatever floats your boat.

It's a tough lesson in business. You gotta admit the mistake publicly, make amends with your pals, and explain your side. Most importantly, share what you've learned, it shows growth. For the unsellable stock, maybe try selling it at a deep discount online or donate it. It's not just about recouping losses, but also about rebuilding trust and your brand. Network in new circles, and don't let this be the end of your entrepreneurial spirit!

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's incredibly brave to recognize the mistake and want to move forward. And it's definitely possible! Starting with apologies to your friends might help. Acknowledge you know you got caught up in something and understand if they're frustrated. Then, focus on activities outside of your past MLM network. It's going to be okay. 💖

Wow, feels like I wrote this. Had a closet full of lotions at one point, haha. But seriously, it's tough. Give yourself some grace, we've all been duped by something. For your social circle, start fresh. Volunteer, join a club, do something you're actually passionate about. It'll be a slow rebuild, but people will see you for you, not the vitamins.
