I think our elders didn’t do a good job at modeling how friendship changes from adolescence/young adulthood to 30s and beyond. A lot of us think friendships are supposed to look & feel like they did when we were in high-school & college. & thats just not realistic.
I need the Knicks to win because it feels like New York is the only state in the US having fun right now and I wanna see what happens when they overdose on joy and whimsy
World Cup starts today and F1 gives us five solid race weekends of pure racing and adrenaline rush, Wimbledon too is around the corner, omdsss I’ve never been this much aliveeeeee😭
High intelligence often comes with heightened pattern recognition. You start noticing social masks, forced conversations, performative friendships, hidden motives, emotional immaturity, and energy that feels draining instead of nourishing. Many highly intelligent people also have more active nervous systems, deeper inner worlds, and lower tolerance for superficial stimulation, so solitude can feel safer than constantly shrinking themselves to fit environments that don't feel aligned.
