Getting people together (work, living place, etc.) even not needed makes a big difference. Two communities I've lived in tell the story. About the same size and not far from each other; one hardly has any community activities, the other multiple weekly get-together activities for the residents. The result, in the first one, neighbors still feel like somewhat strangers after years; in the second, you feel like knowing everyone in just weeks, and everyone is not only friendly but quick to help one another...
I can definitely try to! ALthough, I don't think I've actually experienced that fear before. Which makes me curious about what creates it?
Either way, your question is making me think about why this doesn't resonate for me, which is even more valuable haha. Looking forward to Friday's results :)
The thing is that this fear is one of those that blends with our personality. We do not see it clearly until we start feeling a bit alone.
I'm not trying to say that you have that fear... but in general, maybe your comment could be related to, what do you do to feel connected and belonging

Somehow those communities make possible for people to thrive.
Funny... I AM 53. My family understands a little better than a few years ago, but still don't understand why we don't commute and sit in an office.
:)
TBH, it is often difficult for me to explain what I do...
Such an important question and a good reflection point for a Monday morning :)
Thank you Mia!
Will you try to answer it?
