Ah, the ol’ people need people thing is true, isn’t it? Different but perhaps related - I’ve been examining the synergy (for lack of a better word) that happens for me when I have a shared experience with another human. Dancing side by side in a ballet combo and feeling stronger, more powerful with a partner than if it were just you, the touch on an arm of an understanding stranger in a courtroom long ago that gave immeasurable strength - those intangible, mystical precious connections that remind us that we are social creatures, like it or not. Thanks for the post. Carry on!
I love these examples! Some of my most treasured memories are things like these—tiny, fleeting moments where you feel so connected to another person. "We are social creatures, like it or not." YUP. That pretty much sums it up!! :)
Thank you for articulating what many of us feel. Happy Birth-day.
I related, again. I’m glad you had such an amazing experience. Happy birthday!

"my “I’ll just figure it out by myself” era is officially OVER. " Yes. Thank you. I needed to hear that today.
tbh I still have to remind myself of this every day—it's a very hard habit to break! 😂
