The Dangers of our "Cancel Culture"

This cancel culture is perpetuating such unhealthy and even harmful ‘acceptable’ communication practices. Ghosting. Blocking. Overused form of (non)communication. Are there appropriate times? Absolutely. You’ve not ever spoken to this person or barely exchanged pleasantries. They reach out with uninvited interest -you can ghost. This same person continues to message/call and you now SAY muster the courageous words: “Sorry. I’m just not interested. I wish you all the best.” They reach out again - consider themselves warned…now you BLOCK. Once you have some sort of human exchanges - it is AMAZING FOR YOUR nervous system and theirs, for you to be kind and concise. It’s a beautiful strengthening of your system. A gift to the future YOU. Did you know that blocking is likened to SOLITARY CONFINEMENT which is used as one of the primary methods of punishment in prison and war tactics? You are doing that to another human being just because it’s the ‘thing’ these days and we have allowed for weakened communication skills within ourselves. Want to have a superpower over growing AI? Grow your EQ! This is how you stand out and it’s done in micro moments. Consider yourself a good person? Consider the cruelty this projects on the other side. DISCLAIMER- if you ever feel truly unsafe in anyway, emotionally or physically, you always have the right to protect yourself.
