10 hours agoPsychology says people who go quiet in groups but are completely themselves one-on-one aren't shy - they're people who can only be real when the room feels safe, and a group never does, so they send a polite stand-in to the dinner party and save the actual person for the drive home with the one friend who earned access - Silicon Canals

2 days agoYou will be forgotten by most people you know. Not because you didn't matter but because attention is a resource and you are competing with every screen, every urgency, every crisis that isn't you.
