As people, we are hardwired for connection. In the absence of authentic connection, we suffer. We are not meant to grow into an autonomous I-can'do-it-myself unit. We are meant to go through many experiences collectively, helping one another.
When people say "I don't like other people" or "I prefer my alone time", there is a lot of pain and trauma at the level of interpersonal connection. They don't know how to connect even though they secretly dream of connecting with someone who will truly understand them.
How do you recognize authentic connection?
It doesn't require hustling for acceptance and changing who you are in order to fit in.

When we shield ourselves from ALL feedback, we stop growing. If we engage with ALL feedback, regardless of the quality and intention, it hurts too much, and we will ultimately armor up by pretending it doesn't hurt. .. or we disconnect from vulnerability and emotion so much that we stop feeling hurt.

We're in the middle of our SPRINT! Clarity. Level #2. Strong Verbs and Adjectives. We refine our writing skills during this SPRINT! Above is a text created by one of the students. Pay attention to the VERBS! Sometimes people need very little encouragement and one clear example to undertand the WHAT and the HOW. Everybody can learn to build better sentences and communicate with more clarity. Sometimes, all it takes is using better verbs. Join and get lifetime access. We still have 4 LIVE sessions ahead of us. The next one is tomorrow (14:00-14:30 Moscow time. UTC+3) https://community.nataliatokar.me/c/calendar/clarity-sprint2
