Yes, this is how I have always seen you: “I feel like I know everyone in town, and most people tend to like me. .. but... no one really knows me; I’m a happy lighthearted presence that keeps everyone mildly entertained and comfortable.”
And I have various thoughts on why I feel you’re like this.
And, yes, bring back the pen pal. A fab way to learn what you don’t know about yourself, at the very least.
Great article Alex! Especially about trust! I’ve been digging heaps into emotional and psychological safety, which is really the bedrock to any successful and happy relationship with anyone. Being able to entertain someone else’s view - fully, without judgment, while not being sucked into it, is huge.
I wonder if it's also the bedrock to humanity?! I feel like trust and nonjudgement is a dying part of human nature, and I worry about the unintended consequences.
Anywho, thank you so much for reading and sharing feedback; I really appreciate it! :) :) :)

Always, babe, always the patriarchy.

Yep absolutely. It’s what makes us human 😀
Peeling back some layers there, Alex. Getting into the deeper matter. Keep going.
Thank you, Jim! I will keep going! I won't stop!
Interesting insights and well written
Thanks Zachy!
