How do you make peace with the fact that people come and go from your life?
I suppose I'm getting a little older. Old enough now to have seen many people come and go in life. Friends, partners, coworkers, family. We make relationships and then eventually move on due to outgrowing them, moving away, or any other reason. It feels lonely, in a strange way. I have no trouble making friends and people generally like spending time around me. I've had a lot of partners, a lot of friendships. But it's like you know it's ephemeral, this group, or this person. People naturally come and go from your life, and you from theirs. At the end of the day the only person who will always be a constant in your life is yourself. Not sure really what my question is, just wondering if anyone has felt this way before? It seems like an exhausting and strangely lonely life when you look at it from a bird's eye view.

Friendship is easy under 2 clauses. Convenience and common interest. When you have both it's even better. If you have enough events happen then the bond is strengthened. If you have strong enough bonds formed then you have a pair bond (love in some cases) Not everyone gets the high score and some things score higher then others. Just appreciate the good ones as they happen and do what you can to maintain the ones you care about (you in the duality sense, both parties). Entropy is a natural order, and as we all spread out like expanding heat, we will lose how close we are to most of those around us. I like to think of my experience and existence as blocks of time, or Chapters in a book. Enjoy that the chapter has happened and know you don't need to hold onto it so much as you enter a new one.

Do you sometimes prefer a villan in stories, movies, anime etc, instead of the good character? 😉

I'm saddened by the amount of pseudoscience that goes around psychology in this app
With all due respect, but MBTI is not science, it is based on Jung studies (much of which is dated) and lacks scientific proof Like, I know that not everything is science, like psychoanalysis is not science but that doesn't take away its value, it just can't be deprived by the scientific method (I... read more
