    ANNOUNCING I know y'all hate journalists but we will have one (maybe two, details pending) people at camp interviewing folks again, this time on uh less controversial topics 😅 One of them is Tara Isabella Burton, you might remember her as the author of the New Atlantis article

    I went through a phase in high school where I decided I wanted to be more likable So I went on a kick where I started paying close attention to the things other people did that I did not like, then would watch my own behavior for a period of time to see if *I* did those things

    there's this truly unfortunate trap you can fall into of being both 1) annoying, and 2) visibly vibing as very fragile such that if you were told you were annoying you'd fall apart, get really sad or angry, etc. and people will not give you feedback on #1 if they sense #2

    Idk if I really had any awareness in my 20s how hard dating in my 30s would be I wasn’t thinking long term then for a variety of reasons but man if you find a good person in your 20s I highly recommend doing everything possible to work things out if you run into snags

    Dating in your 30s is weird. Everyone’s walking around with a ghostly chain-gang of exes that have broken their hearts

    I’ve been playing a little game I call “ask myself what a person with secure attachment would do rn” and am honestly mildly annoyed at how well it’s been working

    A while back I decided I wanted to look cool all the time and started only buying clothes I thought looked cool and now I regularly get people telling me I look cool all the time You can just do things

    There is an extremely rare type of guy that I’ve always wanted to be more like but has remained something of a mystery to me Type of guy who gives feedback or says hard things with a lightness, with an underlying feeling of care or at least a lack of malice

    It was genuinely shocking to me how many of them I did without even realizing it Like, how could I ask other people to like me when I was doing a bunch of things I didn’t like other people doing!! Anyway potentially a first step for ppl who don’t feel ready to seek feedback

    emotional regulation skills are really neat because then you get to feel the full range of the human experience in all its violent glory and then be like k that was fun what are we doing next

    psa for dating people did you know that dating gets way less scary when you get better at breakups, this is a thing that's possible to do you aren't trapped nor are you guaranteed a toxic end to things
