How to Feel Like Your People Are Absolutely Crushing It

Connecting the Dots

Like anyone, I was warned about meeting people from the internet.

Hundreds of meetings and twenty-two years later, I have yet to report a single bad experience.

Here’s what works to get a sense of belonging…

Imagine yourself and everyone you know as a web of dots connected by lines.

A graph.

The moment you feel warm about someone, make sure to connect them to as many other “dots” as possible.

Try and make it so your internet friends become friends independently with your irl friends.

The same goes for your family.

This does two things:

  • Makes your community more resilient.

  • Ensures how you are with anyone is how you are with everyone, which also strengthens your community.
