Relationally healthy people look for reciprocity and back off when they don’t sense it. Unhealthy/manipulative types keep going until they encounter explicit resistance, which takes advantage of weak boundaries. You have to apply the brakes for them.

albert camus in 1949 making the perfect case against grey, half-hearted situationships. either the storm of love, deep devotion, transformation, or the clean solitude of being fully your own person. anything in between feels like choosing neither love nor solitude fully

openai․com was once the personal homepage of a guy named glenn (2001), and tiktok․com was the quaint shared homepage of a couple who went from dating to married with a baby (~1998-2001). THREAD!!!

my hot take is half the people in tech who “love the grind” are just running away from an emotion they’re too scared to feel and may spend the rest of their lives doing so ad infinitum

i have a friend that's 6'2, grew up on a farm, really likes his job, loves books and quiet study, but wife is still really mean to him. what is happening

[Tamara Winter @tamarawinter]

Love! A diff way to say this is good-naturedness: are you the kind of person who can speak & laugh easily with lots of different people?

It’s not really “charisma” as some people in the thread suggest, more like intellectual curiosity applied to people

Or, from Virginia Woolf:

my new working theory on the loneliness crisis is to stop aiming to find friends. to make friends assumes an end goal.

rather, aim to achieve the feeling of connectedness.

a life filled with connectedness is someone who looks up when they walk around. they smile at the people around them. they say hi to their local barista.

they ask old friends if they want to meet, without any main purpose. they meet someone cool and ask if they want to hang again. what if they say no? no biggie, always more opportunities around the corner.

they realize not every interaction has to end in a friendship.

they realize connection isn’t dependent on any one person or individual.

connection is a way of life. it’s a feeling. an ACTION. a state of mind. living open, reminding yourself of the beauty of humans.

watch as life gets fuller when those tiny doses of connection add up ❤️

honestly a really good social rule of thumb is to not interrupt people. to notice the urge to interrupt and just drop the impulse

regular interruption is such a social atmosphere pollutant

give people space to surprise and delight and they will

the only exception to this is

This is so deep. You’re free but in a world that doesn’t exist for you. Gonna need some alone time to reflect. Wow
