Relationships

1 day agoThe friend who always checks in on everyone but never tells anyone when they're struggling isn't hiding. They've simply never had the experience of someone noticing without being told, and after long enough, the idea of being spontaneously seen starts to feel like something that happens to other people. - Silicon Canals
Being the emotional caretaker in friendships can lead to neglecting one's own emotional needs and feelings.

3 days agoI've been useful my entire life - to my employer, my family, my parents when they were aging - and I'm only now beginning to understand that being useful and being known are not the same thing, and I've had plenty of the first and almost none of the second - Silicon Canals
Being useful does not equate to being known or valued as a person.

1 day agoNobody warns you that when you stop caring what everyone thinks, you also discover which of your relationships were held together entirely by your willingness to be whoever the other person needed - Silicon Canals

4 days agoThe friends who tell you the hard truth aren't the bravest people in your life. The bravest are the ones who tell you the hard truth and then stay close enough to watch it land, knowing you might not speak to them for weeks, and choosing the relationship over their own comfort anyway. - Silicon Canals
Remaining present after delivering hard truths is a significant act of bravery that often goes unrecognized.

Psychology

4 days agoPsychology says the moment a person stops needing to be right in every conversation is not the moment they become less intelligent - it is the moment they become more interested in the other person than in their own position, and that shift, whenever it arrives and for whatever reason, is the single most reliable predictor of whether the relationships they build from that point forward will be the kind that last - Silicon Canals
Building lasting connections relies on listening deeply and understanding rather than winning arguments.

Suppressing authentic self-expression at work causes measurable psychological and social harm, leading people to withdraw from workplace social interactions to avoid exhaustion from maintaining a false persona.

At first glance, that statistic might seem to confirm a familiar narrative about modern life. People are isolated. Communities have weakened. Technology has replaced relationships. But the data tells a more precise story. Most Americans want connection. Many are actively looking for it. What they are running into instead are systems that make connection hard to access and harder to sustain.

In any given relationship or group, there is always one person who makes things happen. Everyone says "hey, we should get together!" but this person finds a date and makes the restaurant reservation. After a family meet-up in a park, everyone says "we should do this again!" but this person suggests meeting next Saturday at the children's museum at 10 a.m. since the forecast calls for rain.

After more than two decades as a psychosexual therapist, I have learned to listen carefully for what people are not saying. When vulnerability is close to the surface, uncertainty shows up quickly. Am I doing this right? Do I belong here? What am I allowed to ask for, and what will it cost me if I do? At its core, psychosexual therapy is not really about sex.

1 month agoOne Team Keeps Boycotting My Meetings. This Feels Personal.
No wonder it feels personal that this team rejects your efforts. It is personal; it's happening to you. But it's not about you. This team might have so much internal tension that they can't stand to be in a meeting together. Maybe they had a bad experience with your predecessor. They might think they know it all already and attending meetings is just wasting their time. Or it could really be as straightforward as what they've told you: Their working hours and training times are already used up.
