    I’m also continously surprised by how socially codependent people are.

      humans are social creatures by nature but the issue is the way that people go about fulfilling those needs in the most useless, destructive way possible

          this is like that moment in a cartoon where a character looks at their feet, notices they’re standing on air, and fall down

      As the sociologist Brooke Harrington puts it, if there was an E = mc2 of social science, it would be SD > PD, “social death is more frightening than physical death.”
