“I’ve realized that we make real connections by talking about anything else, and just clicking as friends.”

Yesss! Nice one, Baxter. Solid lesson here.

Really enjoyed this piece. Well done. The moment we put someone on a pedestal, is the moment we prevent a friendship from forming.

And great ending, hopefully you linked this piece in your message to Sivers!

100% Pedestals are mental barriers which prevent meaningful connections.

It's an important idea to remember that the barriers we see are often in our heads than in real life.
