This thread? 🤔

I agree that therapy would be valuable here.

There’s stuff it helps with and stuff it doesn’t. Learning how to relate to others and working through what stops you is one of those things it’s really good for.

They probably know a lot of this.

They may not know it’s a problem, or if they do know, then they probably don’t know what to do about it.

So that’s how I’d go about this. Rather than saying they need to expand their support network, I’d ask them what stops them from expanding their range of friends, support and opportunities for connection?

Means you’re not pressuring them or saying you know what they need better than they do. It’s asking about them, what they think and feel.

It’s true, I’ve not found a seal to eat in months.

The majority of anxieties around gene therapy are not around efficacy.

It’s long-term unexpected side effects.

Personally, I’m for these things, massive potential for a lot of people suffering. I’m not going to imagine there won’t be people who stand against it still.

I think we can safely assume that “pretty major UX updates” means pushing the services they want us to use over user preferences

Speaking from a therapist point of view…

Empathy is the ability to understand someone else’s experience, to grasp something of what they’re thinking, feeling, etc.

It doesn’t automatically imply that you care, you can respond to that understanding of someone else’s life with compassion, indifference or anything else.

The colloquial usage of the word empathy to mean “consideration and caring” is problematic as is oftentimes an imagining of how the observer would feel if they were in the difficult situation, rather than the useful version of understanding how the other person feels within that difficult situation.

Given the timescale of the transfer, sounds like a DNS cache somewhere in the chain.

It was a bit more robust than a casual burst. The same material and build as bouncy castles and they can withstand children!

I’m not familiar with the phrase.

Are you talking about being horny? Of thinking with your little head?
