ngl i think the high amount of people who are afraid to do anything ever is probably highly related to how fucking mean people think it's normal to be nowadays. like people expect other people to be annoyed and think they're stupid and take everything in bad faith because that's what people do on social media hellholes. everyone is mean and no one is patient like no wonder all the kids that spend all their time on tiktok are terrified of the public
kids I promise you the world is a whole lot kinder than social media makes it look but you gotta be willing to give each other a little kindness and a little grace when people make mistakes or say something you disagree with. the only way to have that world is if that's the world you try to make.
block people you don't like. be open and kind wherever you can. if you like something or someone say so. every time you silence your own kindness it means there's one less good thing in the world for people to look at which makes the world seem meaner. I promise you, it's not.
