aye, the hope is that by staying as true to our inner compass as possible we help life sort things out for us.
it's such a bad lingering feeling if a "friendship" is ultimately based on a social pleasantry rather than actual resonance and a natural shared interest. better to be hardcore true from the beginning and see who remains.
god, we all carry so many programs both noticed and unnoticed. can't even begin to imagine what japan is like though i feel through your perspective i can at least catch a glimpse sometimes
lol I always end up defending Asia because honestly I have a muuuuch harder time in the west. People have less physical space in Asia so they tend to give more social space if you aren’t best of friends. That really saves me because I need social space. They also tend to listen better. But the trade off is that people really don’t make an effort to be friends and get closer, they wait for you to do it.
I really don’t like to make enemies so I do everything I can to avoid it. Everything but be disingenuous or manipulative or stress about every little thing.
sounds super balanced once again
