#There is So Alarmingly Much individualism heralded and subconsciously embedded in American mainstream media and zeitgeist

"You have to protect yourself because nobody else will" this is so untrue. the world is full of people who want you to be happy and safe. You are not on your own in this. you need to set your own boundaries and communicate where and how being happy and safe happens for you, because nobody else knows, but there are SO so many people who will listen when you communicate. people are not usually out with the intention of making you suffer, i promise

Assumes the worst of everyone. Untrue. #And it is something i have grown accustomed to seeing embedded in even well intentioned thoughts #coming Especially out of the usa #In any side of the political spectrum on any issue. It is always there in some way or another from someone. #Hannah don't look #It is ... strange. From an outside perspective at least. #And probably v linked to more extreme neoliberalism-
