On our last call I asked what a healthy relationship actually looks like to you. I have a follow up question :) Are your current habits aligned with that… if no, what would you have to change?

Can any of you tell me from your own experience when a relationship falls apart ?

I'm hoping I can get some opinions on meeting other people in the wild. I struggle with making new friends and I need to be better about being out there, which is part of the reason why I joined this group. My biggest fear is (cliché) getting hurt again. I've been honest about myself in the past and it has lost me a lot of really close friends, so I learned a lot of people pleasing skills growing up (like many of us do). Now, Indiana is not queer friendly at all. The closest place i have to go to is a small club in Bloomington (~1hr away) or make the 2ish hour drive to Indianapolis. I don't do well in clubs or packed rooms. I've tried joining classes and going to parks. I'm at a loss and feel like it's something I'm doing or not doing. Any ideas or suggestions? (Also thought it might be nice in case other people need some ideas too 🙂)

We are now living in a collective spiritual crisis. We have forgotten our belonging to each other and our living earth. This disease of separation desperately calls for the medicine of radical acceptance —a clear and open hearted presence that reconnects us with life. With radical acceptance we love ourselves and each other into spiritual awakening Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance

Sometimes I feel like deleting all social media accounts because I can’t cope anymore with the level of aggression and violence of people’s words ! Is it me being over sensitive or is there really a degeneration of speech ?
