As for the crickets, I think it isn't that I care less as much as that I no longer try as hard to figure out what others want or expect from me (if anything). It's also part of the reason why I work so hard to not have negative people in my life. It's too counter-productive & time-consuming and takes away, dearly at times, from what matters the most.

And we really have a double challenge: being "true" to ourselves, instead of trying to keep up with the insurmountable pace of social media, and then measuring ourselves by the standard of truth (since what good is being true to yourself, if you are wrong?). When you said "I’m not an expert when it comes to making small talk or meeting new people....On more than one occasion, I’ve given many a cricket the chance to chirp." - I completely understand! I'm much more prone to be at ease and extroverted around close friends. I *can* be that way with some effort around strangers, but it's not my default, and I typically only go there because I want to hear about others' lives and learn more about them. But I've noticed that the older I get, the more "crickets I hearing chirping", and I care less about that than ever before. :-) So glad to see another post from you, btw! Great questions, Jason!
