Not mood. Not personality. Something else.

What version of you shows up most often?

What's the interesting part in reddit came to realize i make so many friends.

Have you ever felt that misunderstandings come from emotional timing, not actual conflict?

Social media, politics, the environment… more and more and more. To be the right person, you should care about the environment, always recycle correctly, don’t eat meat or dairy, don’t eat or drink at companies who support war. Be always politically aware. Then you hide in scrolling on social media cause you exhausted from how the world is demanding to do what’s “right”, only to get dithered overwhelmed and even disgusted by so many people pushing their own agendas, every video screams for your attention trying to sell their content.

I know there is a possibility of not carrying, doing what you want. But that’s still feels wrong, as being ignorant to the world.

But I am the happiest away from the news or social media. When I travel get to talk to amazing people about their life. Slowly enjoying small moments, whilst painting the world around me. Enjoying its culture, all the foods it has to offer. Of course often also heatedly discussing the world but in a way that’s not overwhelming.

Do you feel the same?

For me they never tell me what's happening in their lives, ever. Even though I was always open and giving of into to them. And I always feel like I am being analysed, scrutinized and figured out and told what I did wrong or who shouldn't have do to me. They all think they are shrinks.

The loneliest people

The loneliest people
aren't always alone.

Sometimes they're in the room.
Laughing.
Nodding.
Performing.

While feeling nothing.

It’s not sadness. It’s not regret. It’s more like my inner world gets full, even from good things.

At 2 AM,
everything you distracted yourself from
suddenly becomes loud.

The memories.
The disappointment.
The unanswered questions.

That’s why quiet people stay awake so long.

Their body is tired,
but their mind
still hasn’t found peace.

Do you think life problems are mostly external, or internal patterns repeating externally?

Not a crisis, just… internal noise.

Does anyone else experience that?
