We are not just living through a loneliness epidemic. We’re also living through a shortage of relationally intelligent people who know how to actually be a good friend and show up well for others.
Normalize giving yourself half a day for your nerves system to recover from socializing. Dark rooms, big blankets, comfort shows, and answer no phone calls or text messages.
As you grow, you'll become more comfortable with being portrayed as the villain in the story of people who don't want to work on themselves. Always be genuinely kind to yourself, even when that kindness looks like cruelty to those who mistake your spine for a chair.
I think we are moving away from the era of social media and into an era of online micro-communities.
More intentional, less chaos. Smaller, but more valuable. More boundaries, more containment.
We were never made to read the unhinged thoughts of hundreds of strangers each day, but we were made to gather around fires with groups and share our stories.
Many intuitive people are retreating into hermit mode. Social media has become too draining. There's a growing need to protect our energy.
Those with depth in their soul are craving reflections that can't be condensed into a 90-second reel.
This kind of depth isn't found in an algorithm designed to reward soundbites and stir outrage instead of offering insight.
A new wave is emerging.
This new wave consists of people who recognize the psychological warfare embedded in these platforms.
They understand that their attention is their most valuable currency.
And they're choosing to funnel that attention into what nourishes their life force, rather than what depletes it.
Let AI, rage-baiters, and bots destroy social media until it becomes so bad that people realize it isn't the place for true connection and begin funnelling their time and energy into nurturing their in-person relationships again.
Thank you the Universe for waking me up this beautiful morning. Thank you for the guardians. Thank you for the courage. Thank you for the provisions. Thank you for the self acceptance. Thank you for the daily growth. Thank you for a peaceful day ahead of me. Thank you.
@CandiceBergenMP Great to see someone with emotional and mental intelligence and use it accurately, thank you . I couldnt imagine showing this to any grade level of students, why is such immature behaviour accepted at this level ? Students need honest role models ! What a joke
