Wise words. I think that unconditionality and genuine care and interest in how someone is going is often misinterpreted. I know in my life there are several people who I only ever hear from when they want something and I think, because that so common in society, some people immediately question what you want when you try to check in on them.

And yes, it is definitely better to try and focus energy where it is needed, appreciated and is reciprocated.

Oh yeah. I experienced that often, and still do.

We can’t but trying to radiate trust and good intentions.

If you really just want to know how someone is „how are you?“ you can ask, and if there’s nothing more that’s fine. A while after you ask again, just how they are, that can build trust.

So when you focus on the good, good comes to you, somehow, sometime.

Thank you so much for your thoughts, that’s truly appreciated and makes me think!

I agree, sometimes it takes time and persistence to build that trust.

Thank you for your thoughts too! One of the great things about Nostr is finding people with some similar values and experiences and being able to discuss these things!
