    I call these Thought Poisons. They’re legitimately dangerous for some. I aborted reading the comment when i saw the direction it was headed. 😋

    I define it thusly:
    A Thought Poison is a specific type of harmful or toxic mental construct that adversely affects a person’s psychological and emotional state. These thoughts can be pervasive, self-destructive, or deeply unsettling, and may cause an individual to spiral into feelings of anxiety, depression, paranoia, or hopelessness. Thought Poisons can also do damage over time by altering one’s perception of reality, self-worth, and future, much like how poison can slowly damage the body.

    You have to invite people to specific things, not just a vague idea.

    I just finished hanging out with a friend-couple. We did yardwork and drank tea. lol

    Create a plan and then invite people to it:
    “I’m going to this concert next month, come along?”
    “I’m going for dinner later, join?”
    “I’m bringing down the patriarchy from within and i would love for you to be there.”
    “I’m doing x because y. You should come with.”
