Hope is always under assault, though. If someone were to self-actualize with hope, it would be another yet another new struggle to maintain it.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Social media makes us feel terrible about who we really are. Neuroscience and philosopher Guy Debord can explain why – and empower us to fight back by ADefiniteDescription

Thanks for posting. I have stepped away from all “personal” social media interactions too (I still use Reddit because I am more comfortable with anonymity), and I’ve noticed how hard it is to “be real” with my friends now. I feel like I’m giving them 100% of my attention in the moment now, but they’re able to give me back less. I’ve been trying to understand if I am just “too extra” but now I’m wondering if they’re just distracted by having to maintain their digital and and analog self.

Reply to The benefits of doing nothing | An overactive 'life drive' endlessly seeks expansion, inevitably leads to burnout, and drains us of the energy needed to truly progress. Finding the time to do nothing is essential to reassessing who we are and who we want to be. by IAI_Admin

Sometimes I am a human Being. Sometimes I am a human Doing. And sometimes I am a human Waiting. All of those things are reasonable and important
