i hope you remember it’s very human and normal to crave affection, human interaction, attention and love. you’re not “too needy” or “too sensitive” for wanting to have your emotional and social needs met accordingly.
The βenrichment in the enclosureβ meme has a lot of truth to it. We need to shake things up a bit to keep happy. It doesnβt have to be big, but if you ever feel stagnant or a little bluh try going on a walk on a route you havenβt been in or something. It really does help.
go on more walks. walk for no reason. walk to solve a problem. walk to blow off steam. walk to get outside. walk to listen, read, and learn. walk to escape distractions. walk to improve your health. walk to think. a simple walking habit can change absolutely everything.
You will find flowers growing rebellious in places you wouldn’t expect. Sometimes, there will be birds.
every time i start to feel cringe for being too deep in the hyperfixation i remember the intense depression i have waded through and have to remind myself that enjoyment is fleeting (so grab it with both hands), and life is for loving (so hold that love close), and if anyone thinks i’m cringe they must not be having a very good time (and i hope they can find a good time soon).
