[Nigel Simon @iggienigs]

i let my thoughts be in chaos these past weeks and im not even sure when can i reconcile these thoughts

my solitude got shattered the moment i left my home and fam

now, i want to take this opportunity to rebuild myself

a chance to learn while doing things

this is my new lore

[Nigel Simon @iggienigs]

i am getting convinced that most of the things i want to achieve near term is just a numbers game

[Nigel Simon @iggienigs]

so this is what a vocal person feels like

i only unlocked probably 5-10% of this skill and it feels so so so much better

excited to see how much i can go

Your calendar was full at 21 and empty at 26 for a reason MIT discovered in 1950.

Researchers studied a housing complex called Westgate and found friendship was predicted by one variable above everything else: physical distance between front doors. Students living near stairwells and mailboxes made the most friends. Shared interests, values, personality? All downstream of foot traffic. They named it the propinquity effect.

Researcher Rebecca Adams later distilled friendship formation into three conditions: proximity, repeated unplanned interactions, and settings where people let their guard down. A college campus delivers all three automatically, dozens of hours a week of engineered collisions. Adult life delivers zero by default.

That's the entire mechanism behind days blending together. Your brain registers novelty from unplanned human contact. Remove the collisions and time loses its texture.

The fix is repetition. One dinner party changes nothing. The same gym class, same coffee shop, same pickup game at the same time every week rebuilds the structure school gave you for free. Friendship grows from accumulated accidental contact, so frequency wins.

College handed you a collision machine. Adults who stay social just rebuilt one.

once you turn 20 you have to fight everyday for the rest of your life to not lose your personality & spirit...bc what once came naturally to you will be exhausted into nothing if you don't actively Try. it's terrifyingly easy to become a lethargic, soulless adult

[Nigel Simon @iggienigs]
