I think this might be the answer.

getting things done regardless of how you feel inside cuts across so many areas and this one’s part of it

It gotta be.... It is quite hard to be in a chatty or vibey mood to communicate, especially when shit is raining on your parade, and sometimes that rain lasts for days/months

The sad part that's probably when you should reach out. If people only connect when things are going well creates superficial relationships. Seeing the good, bad, and ugly actually creates genuine human connection.

bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thank you so much for this. i will keep this in mind going forward, i thought i was broken or sum

I don't think this answer digs deep enough. There's a real lack of community orientedness in american culture, and hyperindividuality is at an all-time high. Your government works you to the bone to keep you guys from truly coming together

Watching Zootopia the other day and thought about this when Judy Hops answers her phone call from her parents even though she is in a horrible mood. Real one

my opinion is that this is exactly the very thing that made people's life even worse. when i was down i just shamelessly told everyone and ask for help.

He nailed it But here's my advice: Don't be too quick to grow up that you choke your inner child along the way. The few years of my existence here on earth have taught me this: You may never know true happiness without your inner child.

Nah it’s because we lose our shared communal space with a shared mission — mainly school and college. That forces proximity and closeness and automates connection. Communication then becomes a bigger expense and we fall off

Please what's this guy handle

Calls irritate me these days, and I hardly make calls, too, except its very critical. Stopped using WhatsApp status ; found resolute with X. I don't use ringtone as well.

I mean, it doesn't HAVE to be a dismal interaction. An old friend & I recently reconnected not long before my dog passed. Well her 22yr old cat just died. She's kept me in the loop as she's adopting other cats. I'm going thro something w/my landlord 🤷🏽‍♀️it's still nice to connect

@threadreaderapp unroll

Damn..this is deep

I only call people when I'm stressed or anxious.

No, almost everyone is well enough to keep in touch, that is nonsense

That's it really

One time I was really really really mad bc I had a work call that went 45 over, but I answered the friend call anyway and after like 5 mins I was happy again

This is 100 percent the answer.

I love listening to this guy. Speaks good and smart

Yooooo.....Damn

needed to hear this!

Or maybe people have kids and getting married and don't have the same habits they did in their 20s? Lol

that's actually a great example i'd heard of the idea but bringing it down to the call level is a neat move

Absolutely spot on

Social connection is overrated

Whether i feel great ooo, Whether i no feel great ooo...I no wan keep in touch. Don't think that's the reason.

That's so true. In 9/10 cases I never regret having spent time with someone close to me on the phone, regardless of the mood. It's a simple thing showing people you care.

The realest most accurate answer

mais vous appelez un ami ou votre patron ? C'est pas censé vous mettre ce genre de pression d'appeler un ami ou alors vous n'êtes pas amis, et si tu dois être de bonne humeur en permanence c'est pas des amis non plus wtf

I sent this to about 5 of my friends
