WHEN WE DARE TO "IMPOSE"... <3
We often don't reach out to people because we are worried we might 'impose'.
There is this societal assumption that people would rather not be bothered so that they can focus on their busyness, their productivity and all the shit they have to get done...
However...
When people don't 'impose' on us... we risk believing that no one is thinking about us... that no one cares about us... that no one wants to spend time with us. :(
.
This is a huge contradiction:
We don't want to impose on others, but feel lonely if people don't impose on us. <3
We live in a very disconnected society... with busyness having high status, and socializing next to none...
So, I 'impose' on my friends... to let them know...
"I am thinking about you. I want to spend time with you. I want to tell you about my problems and my joys... which is the biggest honour a friend can give!"
"Please impose on me too... any time of day. Call me with your problems and your joys... It feels wonderful when you do... I value our friendship so much and I love you!!" <3
.
What do YOU prioritize more?
People? Or the shit that people have to get done? 🤣
Let's defy "societal disconnection norms"... and impose, impose, impose! <3
