peripath

A place to practice real conversations with real people, without the chaos of the internet.

we’re getting really good at talking to AI
and worse at talking to each other

@Dearme2_ *so long as whatever you want is something you’re willing to be judged by.

[peripath @peripath]

@PathOfMen_ + make some new friends.*

a good life is one with meaningful connections to others.

[peripath @peripath]

Our social muscles are atrophying.

[peripath @peripath]

So many people will wake up today in a quiet apartment, make coffee, maybe fry a couple eggs or pour a bowl of cereal, and eat alone at the counter or on the couch. No conversation, no friction, no reason to even speak out loud. Just another morning slipping by in silence...

[peripath @peripath]

When work ends, there’s no transition. No commute, no decompression, no chance encounters. Just closing one tab and opening another. X, Instagram, endless scrolling. Consuming other people’s lives late into the night without hearing a single real human voice. Not one genuine moment of connection...

[peripath @peripath]

@rumilyrics + build friendships/have deep conversations.

feels like a lot of people have gotten a little worse at talking

not in a big obvious way

just slightly more hesitant

more in your head

real conversation feels more awkward than it used to

so you avoid it

but the fix is kind of simple

just get reps in

say how are you to the cashier at the grocery store
ask the delivery driver how his day’s going
smile and say hi to someone on your walk
you get the point

low stakes, no pressure

it’s like doing negatives on a pullup
or just benching the bar

you have to start somewhere

and then it gets easier

you build muscle over time.

@jaymehoffman @ycombinator for some reason, I read this as..."the level of attraction in this @ycombinator batch is insane

and I was very confused for a brief second.

[peripath @peripath]

@beyoumf one right answer: coffee.

[peripath @peripath]

@corey_shupp Love to see it. "walk" and talk was last week. this week it's 1 "minute" chats. it's fun.

[peripath @peripath]

@readswithravi networking only works if you’re actually comfortable talking to people

@Jashanx_gill when my web app really blows app, will it be an issue that it is built on Lovable.
