Parenthesis

"Connecting with others under stress creates resilience." I think this is true though. It's better for me to talk things out with an assortment of people because it provides more insight. However, there are certain people that are better with certain problems, so I tend to go to different people for my career/future, relationship, friend, etc. problems, which is also good because then I won't dump all of my problems onto one person. Of course there are those rare people that know exactly what to say in every circumstance and therefore have the misfortune of hearing about all of my struggles regardless of topic.

This is a really good article. I agree with most of it. Society expects everyone to have their lives together all the time. It's exhausting. Come on people, no one knows what they're doing--myself included. You kind of just go with it and live. Think about it this way, if you question someone like this:
"Why did you go to high school/college/professional school?"
"To get a degree."
"Why did you want that degree?"
"Prestige/start a family/success."
"Why?"
"..."
In the end it's the same. Everyone turns into dirt. It doesn't matter and no one cares. Go do something that you like. If there's nothing that you like then go do something that doesn't make you miserable. Stop doing things because you think that you should and do them because you truly want to. I learned that one the hard way.

I wonder if it's possible to drug people with oxytocin. I hear it makes people more compassionate and caring. We could use more of that in this world.
