That on the one hand

we need people,

they make us feel healthy,

they make us feel connected,

they make us feel like our very selves, right?

But on the other hand,

people are really scary.

They can dismiss us,

they can reject us,

they can actively harm us.

And so this sort of dilemma that we face,

the sort of entity that we need the most

is also the entity that can harm us the most.

And how we walk across this tightrope

handling this paradox of people

says a lot about our ability

to make and keep friends.

Because if we find ourselves stuck in the place

where we see people as --

we mistrust people,

or we see people as

potentially rejecting us and harming us,

it's really hard to foster connection.
