What are some of the clinical applications of this thinking? https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2831372 https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2831372 Sun, 05 Jun 2022 16:11:54 -0400 This is a really good point. https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2831371 https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2831371 It's easy living in NYC to walk outside and get that human connection, even if not directly. People who live in the suburbs might get this connection through living in shared homes or with roommates.

It's important to remember that we don't know everyone's story or what they are going through and maybe they just need a meal out alone to cope with their lives.

I think it's really important that people learn to be alone (thanks Dr. Knafo) and experience doing things by themselves for themselves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2831349 https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2831349 Fri, 03 Jun 2022 14:17:33 -0400 I definitely agree with Olivia on this point. In today's world it is too strict of a binary to say people are either married or single. There are single-parent homes, couples who are cohabitating, multi-generational homes and so many other combinations. https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2831348 https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2831348 Fri, 03 Jun 2022 14:14:42 -0400 I definitely agree with this - there is a massive amount of attention put on marriage and weddings. Crazy bachelor and bachelorette parties, huge destination weddings, lengthy honeymoons and more are just a regular, accepted part of our culture now. https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2831347 https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2831347 Mon, 06 Jun 2022 20:37:07 -0400
