Oh no, I meant that in the best way. I thoroughly enjoy when people open this type of dialogue and we get to explore all the dark and scary parts of ourselves. I think we can all learn from it.

Maybe I just haven't figured out how to balance between constant connection and alone time, but after being stretched and living life with very few personal boundaries, I've been practicing how to achieve that balance and that's where I found Dunbar's concept promising!

You and I are in the same age range.
What makes you think that those with a lot of likes and social media friends get more respect? Perhaps it's that they're liked and have many friends because they're respected. They've done something to earn that respect, or they're just generally charismatic.
