This! So much this. 🎯 We have to learn to be flexible and not take things personally, and not lose ourselves in the group.

And feeling uncomfortable. Meeting people being in new situations. Uncomfortable but it’s temporary. Ask any nuerodivergent person.

I think if you are framing it as inconvenience that is the problem- it’s a joy to get to help others. It’s so special to experience help as well- if you’re feeling like community is inconvenient there is likely still more understanding of connection and personal healing can lead you to genuinely enjoy and learn to balance being part of a community- or so my therapist says ☺️This is what I’m working on right now!

Yesss! Perfect example: buying gadgets you'll seldom use (like an ironing board) instead of asking a neighbor if they already have it and if you can borrow theirs for a second.

On the flip side community means that YOU will be annoying and inconvenient. If you are supporting others in your community but you aren’t accepting any support then you’re not a participant, you’re just a donater.

Ok-so I’m taking this another way. Grandparents, if they really want to have a relationship with their grandkids, they have to learn to be in the mess of little kids again. They are addicted to comfort and forgot what kids are like. Just me??? Hahahaha

That and that therapist trend of “you don’t owe anyone anything” …

Yep, and if you don’t want to be inconvenienced or uncomfortable then you don’t get to reap the benefits of a community or complain about not having one. (ie - myself… I know this and still choose not to have a community bc I am not looking for that for myself or from anyone. I understand it’s a two way street).

And people just love to “protect their peace” and not reach out to anyone. Then they wonder why the person who did invite stops

I also think convenience is the reason that our crafts and trades are dying. Disenfranchising us from the ability to provide for ourselves making us more reliant on our capitalist government to provide poorly made replacements instead of long lasting high skill essentials. Making our labor and time more easily extractable therefore making us easier to control.

my neighbor said yesterday "let me know if you need help with anything other than labor". BRUH !! I am still confused what that can even mean tbh

Totally agree. Nobody is going to be 100% compatible with you so you’re going to get annoyed. I also agree about convenience. I scrapbook and needed a cricut cartridge but bought one on Amazon even know I have a friend who has it but I didn’t want to reach out to her.

I saw that video too! You also don’t have to be friends with everyone to be in community.

And and and comfort being a tenant of white supremacy. And white supremacy being a requirement of fascism and capitalism…..

Like they want to rebel against capitalism & the government…but they can’t be inconvenienced to be in community with anyone they don’t 100% agree with. Do we all think rebellion is going to be easy & comfortable?

💯💯💯YEs. The paradox of tolerance is that in tolerating things that are difficult -up into the point of being an intolerant person- is the literal definition of being a good human I think.

i guess this is true if you aren't use to being in community with others. living under colonial constructs, especially white people, who mostly segregate themselves, community will definitely feel invasive and inconvenient but it actually is not.

Unbound Whimsy :
Unable to protest due to disability, but catch me not mincing words with the ignorant in my vicinity. I hate conflict, but I'll always confront ignorance, whether it's ablism, racism, anti human-rights rhetoric, or something else. Always holding those around me accountable for ignorance and prejudice. Politely but firmly. Had someone recently complaining about how star wars was "too woke now" and how they were sick of LGBT representation because they were only "like 1% of the population". I asked them "does the representation of fascists in star wars upset you? No? You didn't even notice? But the LGBT representation does? Maybe ask yourself why the LGBT representation has you worked up into a tizzy but the fascism representation didn't even register as fascism for you."

I asked my 92 year old chance why we “lost” all the things her generation had, and she said convenience. So I think you are onto something
