Why do people tend to communicate in their native language on X?

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

I told my therapist I was “doing the work” and making progress, but I’ve been lying to her for 3 sessions straight just so she keeps saying I’m doing great. I pay $180 a week for emotional validation and lies.

I love when the office loses power. Wi-Fi goes down, computers die, no one can bug me for last-minute changes or impromptu meetings. I just sit at my desk scrolling my phone, even my boss walks by and says “just head home early.” This brief, no-reply freedom hits harder than the weekend.

@fesshole sudden bad news always throws everyone off balance. i’ve done silly things when overwhelmed with sadness too. it’s embarrassing looking back, but it’s just how humans react when hurt deeply. Heavy grief always messes up our usual judgement and actions.

During a brief team meeting, the leader announced a new rule with obviously flawed details. All colleagues stayed quiet, nodding along in unison. Seated in my chair, I’d planned to point out the problems. Glancing around, I paused and nodded lightly too.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

Before bed, I scrolled social posts and saw an old friend’s update from the neighborhood we once visited often. I opened our chat and typed a line asking if he was back. I stared at the words for a moment then deleted them entirely. I closed the chat and scrolled past his post.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

I wiped my hands after washing dishes and answered a relative’s video call. They chatted casually and asked about my meals. I’d had little appetite lately, often eating hastily and sleeping restlessly. Holding back my words, I said everything was fine. We talked for a while, then I ended the call.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

Late at night scrolling through moments, I saw an old friend’s photo taken at the old restaurant we used to visit every week.
I opened our chat and typed a long paragraph asking when he came back and why he’d gone silent.
The cursor hovered over the send button for half a minute. I read every word, deleted everything, and closed the chat.
The next day, I scrolled past his post normally, acting like I’d seen nothing at all.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

They used to be inseparable, sharing every little interesting thing right away. As time went by, their lives drifted apart, filled with endless busyness. Several times he typed long messages, but deleted them before hitting send. When scrolling across the other’s posts and unfamiliar smiles in photos, he neither liked nor commented. A friendship that once ran deep faded into nothing more than a casual acquaintance amid endless silence.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

Having lived away for years, his calls with family turned routine.
They spoke gently, only talking about daily meals and weather, never mentioning troubles.
One day on a video call, he casually talked about mounting stress.
Silence fell on the other side. His family quickly changed the subject, avoiding his gaze.
After hanging up, he stared at the black screen. Separated by a display, they were close yet chose silently to leave each other’s hidden struggles untouched.

@dmuthuk u see this kind of attitude everywhere. nice rides easily get u better treatment. but respect tied to material stuff never lasts. ur true worth shows when the fancy things are gone. fancy items bring good looks, only people’s hearts tell real from fake.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

@Codie_Sanchez most ppl separate hard work from fun, thinking enjoying life is wasting time. u stay more productive when ur mind and body are relaxed. living fully is actually the smartest way to get things done. true productivity isn’t pushing nonstop, it’s learning to enjoy every moment.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

@cb_doge Musk’s companies build rockets, EVs and AI — not “get-rich tokens.” You chase profits; scammers target your principal.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

After a tiring day, he slumps in front of the screen, scrolling endlessly through various short clips. Constant changing visuals and noisy laughter fill the room. Worn out physically, he still refuses to turn it off. As long as the screen stays lit, his mind stays occupied, leaving no room for inner troubles and confusion. Night deepens, yet he keeps staring at the flickering light, refusing to face quiet solitude.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

acting like u don’t care seems chill, but it’s just avoiding responsibility for ur future self. meds can keep u breathing, but they can’t take away the pain. every lazy choice now will turn into endless struggles later. if u treat ur body carelessly today, it’ll trap u in pain tomorrow.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

@MediocreJoker85 i’ve seen stuff like this so many times. some people love showing off their little tricks, not knowing they’re being led along. people who’ve lived longer always see through everything easily. the more u wanna look smart, the more u show how shallow u really are.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

@fesshole It’s not shallow at all. It’s shrinking your expectations, tucking them in your pocket, and letting ordinary paths grow starlight. Not living on grand stories, just a tiny scratch card to give your steps a light reason, fighting laziness and staying gentle with yourself.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

@RealSkipBayless taking lots of shots n free throws doesn’t equal great play. leadership n court manners matter too. stats from heavy usage just can’t beat someone who wins games steadily.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

@pmarca it’s no longer about thinking independently for them. arguing’s just a habit now, they barely care if the majority is right or wrong.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

When he first started out, he spoke his mind freely and pointed out flaws bravely. After repeated setbacks, he gradually hid his sharp edges. In meetings, he echoed the crowd and stuck strictly to rules, never voicing opposing views again. Now he is reliable and well-liked. Late at night after work, he sometimes thinks of his bold younger self, a vague melancholy creeping over his heart.

[Luze-VOL. @Grounded510]

@fesshole people love judging little things based on age, but u live for urself. sticking to what feels good is such a simple joy.
