Step 1. Teke down the walls (talk above your maken boundaries.)
2. Listen to learn ( do not make quick reparations)
3. Feel loved/attached ( by sharing deeply n learning to listen ).

Jennifer Finney Boylan said you can’t hate someone when you know their story. Ryan Sheade said that when you know someone’s story, they make sense. It’s about connection, getting beyond the surface impressions, as you said. In a world of sound bites and short attention spans, this can be a challenge, and then there’s the mess the US is in, more polarized than ever. We all need to stop and think about this and what really matters.

It’s true that most people are divided by the walls built around them. Some has the boundaries so high and biased, still we can find the right people around us.
The Feeling of the experiencing time can be felt only when you are creating memories.
otherwise the time flies and no matter how bad we spent time or wasted or how great we evolved we miss that time.
Happened to me the same way ,i miss my entire childhood, still wishes that if i could go back 10 years (to my 4th class).
anyway i will not regret the present an again.
creeper each and every moment of your life.
it’s only one and so precious 💕
Happy to hear this.
remainded me how I should be.

An unhealthy addiction to joy and happiness compounded by an avoidance and opposition to negative emotions like anger and sorrow does not help anybody and is actively harmful.
@pizzahippie7
March 15, 2026 at 1:19 pm
what are you talking about? she said to be more open to communicating with people and being comfortable with connecting with other humans on a deeper level. nothing about avoiding your negative emotions, are you okay?
@hekatetrivia1727
March 15, 2026 at 1:50 pm
@pizzahippie7 That she said nothing about that is the problem. Context is important. If you think happiness is the end all be all of human existence, then you will be unsatisfied for the vast majority of your life. At what point did she discuss mixed emotions? What’s that, you say? Nothing was said about it? Wow, sounds like a dangerously overly-simplified view of human emotions where joy is the only significant emotion to the detriment of anything else. This is the literal plot to Disney’s “Inside Out”. Grow up.

Lady had 5 minutes… life is obviously more complex then one small facit of happiness. Shes talking about using connection and love as a tool for a more “Happy” life. (Not joy). Happiness isnt an emotion, it is a state of being. ” joy” is namned joy and not happiness maybe for this very reason? Maybe happiness is the end all? Maybe hapiness is this symbiosis of human emotion? Maybe love and connection is a bigger part of this equation then you think? and that feels scary to you because people and your expections of joy have hurt you?

I think I am a good listener, I like to ask how they have been and learn from their experience, but people never ask me back so I feel they don’t care about me. Should I share even if they don’t show interest?

Start by asking them
“can i share something to you” The answer will tell you what is the right thing for you. You will find somebody who will listen.😊 ❤

Everything she said from my experience is absolutely true. For example becoming besties with all of the ladies who work at one of my local gas station is rewarding, and comforting to know that I have people in my community who know me, know me for who I am and love me. Who will take the time to have long talks with me about our lives and text me that they miss me when I haven’t been in for a few days. Sometimes they see me and they immediately unload their entire day onto me and then thank me, ask me how mine was like nothing happened. One lady even has a goofy nickname for me. Its small things like that, that give you more gratitude to be here. You take that energy with you into the world and things truly change for the better.

I’ve heard the “gratitude letter” thing before. But what if there’s no other person for whom you feel gratitude? No-one who can be trusted to know you without them trying to exploit you? You assume that people are good and trustworthy.

idk if its these walls around me that anticipate with me to get connected with people, to feel listened and loved.. Because usually when it comes to approaching somebody, a stranger let’s say, social axienty frightens me and lead me to not say a single word or interaction and i totally hate that! I didn’t used to be like this when i was small. I don’t know if probably due to the years I got older and wiser about the outside world, i stared to shrink my bubble a little more, leading me nothing but isolated.

To make yourself vulnerable by taking down your protective wall, leaves you wide open to be manipulated and hurt, it’s why we all have walls up in the first place.
