I really love this take - thank you for being vulnerable! One thing I try to console myself with is that I am what I fondly call a Perpetually Online person, in that social media is my career and also my creative outlet; I have girlfriends who are my biggest cheerleaders IRL, but detest being on their phones for even 30 mins a day. They take DAYS to respond to messages and rarely check Instagram - something I struggle to get my head around 😂 - but it does mean they are highly unlikely to see my content, and also just aren't in the habit of sharing/shouting online about, well, anything! They show their love in different ways, though and for that I'm grateful. I wholeheartedly agree with you though, that if you are online, you should always applaud until it's your turn 👏

I LOVE this approach—applauding until its our turn. I guess my belief is that we will all have a turn, but without making the effort to like/share/subscribe/connect, it can take much longer to thrive. What we could achieve with the support of our peers is worth consideration!
