Loneliness at Christmas:👇❤️‍🩹

✔️Patients teach me 1000x how difficult this time of year can be
✔️They say (and I agree) it’s helpful to TALK about why we are sad & lonely
✔️“I see you, loneliness demons” & they can shrink

What would be an efficient strategy to rebuild our networks in here given that it is easier to find people within but not across servers?
It is so exciting to see my network being rebuilt here. I am grateful for all the folks that have found me!

I've been thinking that there are a few different ways to engage in social media:

1. I want to hear the news (fine).
2. I want to be the news (yuck).
3. I want to contribute to and benefit from the community (yes!).

For anyone who is 1-ish and hasn't yet converged onto 3, I'd like to plant a seed. #3 requires a bit of thought around what you want to be surrounded by, and then a bit of commitment to help make that happen (through follows, posts, boosts, & likes). It's a bit more of an intentional process than #1. But I really do believe that it transforms social media into a more positive experience (at least that's been true for me).

As we all think about our intentions for 2023, want would you like to see us surround ourselves with? I'd love to hear!
