Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn't misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn't agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They're not broken. They're calibrated differently. They don't avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it's deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn't mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That's not antisocial behavior. That's emotional intelligence.

- Khamenei = 1hr
Either we're getting WAY better at war or we’re finally prioritizing results over enriching defense contractors
This gives me chills every single time: "We’ve seen war. We don’t want war, but if you want a war with the United States of America, there is one thing I can promise you, so help me God: someone else will raise your sons and daughters." - SSgt. Bellavia
Do you know how gangsta you have to be in your faith to watch islamist terrorist kill your children, rape your women and burn your churches in a bid to force to to renounce your religion and you still turn up to church to worship God.
There's nothing more brave than this.
May the Almighty God hear their cries and may the host of heavens situate in the hearts of men to fight their battles. Amen.
Sorry to disturb your scrolling. We don’t know each other, but I pray that you get to live the life you prayed for and that all things work out for your benefit.
