If more people view engagements transactionally we’d both know that there is something the other wants and would probably be more comfortable explicitly expressing it rather than people pretending to be kind/interested/etc. instead I ask myself “why is this person talking to me”
Being on the left feels so stagnant. progressives are annoying to no end, leftists aren’t engaged w/ reality, and liberals are either unmotivated or cowards. Can’t even capitalize on the division within the conservative crowd because kicking a dead horse is more fun ???I guess???
Sometimes I want to completely destroy all the relationships in my life but most times I feel an incredible loneliness. I wonder why it’s so difficult to be alone
