Friends are good for your health.
In case you thought that wasn’t a major concern because you’re an alpha-sigma-giga-lone-chad-wolf who don’t need no one around them…
“By far the biggest medical surprise of the past decade has been the extraordinary number of studies showing that the single biggest predictor of your psychological and physical health and wellbeing is simply the number and quality of close friendships you have.
By comparison, all the traditional factors that your doctor usually worries about on your behalf make only modest contributions.”

My inbox looks like a Newsletter cemetery.
Request for a startup:
Can someone build a startup with an alternative to newsletters?
Am I the only one accumulating newsletter subscriptions like if they were domains?

It takes discipline not to insist on doing everything yourself. Especially when you know how to do many of those things well.

You will always have FOMO while you’re on social media
But you rarely get that feeling in a community
The difference - connections

In authentic friendships there are seasons of giving, and seasons of receiving. And no one keeps score.

Instead, social media...
🔻Makes us feel like we’re caught up with our people, even when we're not
🔻Puts us into comparison-mode
🔻Asks us to simplify ourselves to an image that can never capture our full humanity
🔻Puts metrics on friendship
🔻Keeps us from being present IRL

Social media seems like a friend to human connection. It's a place to keep in touch with lots of people, meet others like you, and a platform to express ourselves.
And yet, on the whole, it does not help with connection.
