Modern life can be depressing, and sometimes a primitive life feels like it would be fulfilling and a healthier alternative. Today almost everyone sells their time for wages. People are falling into depression because of pressure from their employers. Modern life has been linked with higher rates of depression, obesity from poor diet, and a sedentary lifestyle. Modern society is obsessed with possessing perpetual wealth. People have no time for families, friends, or hold real feelings for each other. Today everything is a competition.
It sounds retrogressive to hold the view that living in a world without the internet, computers, and automobiles is far better than modern life. I am convinced that people in the medieval period lived a more fulfilling life than the modern society. Clearly, modern people are more prosperous than people in the medieval period. Still, medieval people enjoyed plenty of free time with families and friends and had sufficient healthy foods from their farms.
Today, almost everything is unauthentic, from processed foods to young people feeling lonely when they have 100k social media friends. Modern life is complicating our life with unrealistic perceptions of fulfillment, and the best we can do is to disconnect from social media and connect life again. We gets so lost in online life that we forget to live our real lives.
Eliminate gadgets, turn off push notifications, don’t stress yourself making your profile perfect,give yourself 30 minutes to connect on social and then live a real life, interact with real people, and be awesome in the real world!

Taking public jabs at others while avoiding personal confrontation is a new norm for communication today, thanks to social media. Following recent events in Ukraine and Russia, unfiltered hate, violence and anger on social media makes it impossible to contemplate.

Avoid arguing with a negative person: You should know that a negative individual won't regard your point as valid. So it's no point engaging in an argument you won't win. Otherwise, you risk exposure to pessimism.
Block negative people on your social media: if you're friends with negative people on Facebook or following them on Instagram, cut those ties as your physiological well-being is more important than their pessimism.
Recognize the negative parts of life: as much as you'd prefer a life where there aren't negative people, positive people and negative people are two sides of a similar coin. So, it's crucial to differentiate positive from negative people and know who to associate yourself with.

Friendships: Quality over Quantity
Feelings of happiness are easy. Happiness is not. Flirting is easy. Love is not. Saying you’re friends is easy. Being friends is not. - David Levithan.
There are life lessons our parents teach us, life lessons we learn on our own and life lessons that only our friends can teach us. Friends are essential in our lives and while many friends have exparations dates,very few remain with us until the end of our days.
As children we don’t really choose friends. It's very quiet simple at the young age. Those who smile and play with us automatically built a friendship with us. The one that hangs around the most automatically becomes the best friend.
In adulthood the dynamic of friendship shifts because, as we mature we develop our own unique personality, needs, wants, and therefore just a smile is no longer enough.
The environment we are in, be it school or work, narrows down the list of friends you can choose from by default, just by virtue of the fact that you are in that environment.
Quality over Quantity
There are people who find value in having a lot of friends. The fact that they can confidently invite over twenty friends and post the gathering on social media allows them to fill their mind bubble with desired popularity. It allows them to feel heard, wanted and liked, factors that are most likely missing in reality. The truth is, not everyone can garner that many friends, unless you start giving out "ice-cream" in the forms of a job, free amenities, giveaways, etc.
And then there is another kind of people who find value in having as little friends as they possibly can. These folks guard their friendship circle so strongly because it is built on trust, love, respect and loyalty. Majority of the time, such friendships can even comprise of as little as two people. It is quite rare for this kind of friendship circle to get past five individuals. Having a whole bunch of fiends to hang out and party might look "great" from the outside, but having a few strong individuals in your inner circle who you can always count on is the real deal.

Read MoreFriends Before Lovers
Relationships are sensitive matters that you must always consider with a sense of seriousness. Before you become lovers with anyone, you first have to become friends. Being friends first means that you will set the essential boundaries and rules about what is acceptable between you and what is not permitted. The both of you will also be able to determine what you are comfortable with the other person and what you are not satisfied with. When you have these facts established, you will decide whether you should move on to the next stage of your relationship.
Before you become lovers, being friends first means having a stable foundation to base your continued relationship. The fact that you are friends also means that you will have more in common with each other. The convergence of your interests will be significant in determining whether you are compatible with each other and whether you make the best romantic match.
Whenever you are looking to be in a relationship with someone, do not feel pressured or forced into anything. The good people will linger around for longer, but the people that are baying for your blood and simply out to hurt or destroy you will be there much faster than you would expect. Once they have done their damage and left with the wind, you will be at a loss, and most of the time, you will find yourself blaming yourself for having fallen in love too fast.
No matter the kind of personality you have to deal with, friendships enable you to set your parameters for the potential relationships you are likely to have. When you are friends first, you will determine what you are comfortable with and what you scream from the inside when you feel it near you.
Once you are comfortable with the friendship, you can take things slowly and bit by bit. You will be more familiar and confident in the other person. Starting a relationship in this way also ensures that you can understand each other, and there will be nothing to get in the way of the both of you being honest with each other on some issues such as sex.
You will also be more open about all the issues you face and solve your problems more amicably. This way, your romantic relationship will benefit both of you, and it will be able to last for much longer as opposed to a one-sided relationship where it is only the one side that benefits.

Why Do We Dress Up?
Why dress up? Yes, it's fun to be seen, but it also feels good. If that's not enough then you must remember what you wear changes what people hear you say. Let say you're riding a bus to see a friend and not exactly sure about what bus stop you should exit on. You ask a neighbor sitting right next to you. He is wearing sweats and t-shirt with an oily stain on it. He looks as if he forgot to take a shower. He tells you to exit in two stops. Another men, dressed in suit, a trench coat and a hat overhears your conversation and tells you that you need to exit on the next step. Whom would you listen to? Most likely the men who is well dressed. The point is, if you want people to listen to you, dress the message.

That is why some of us even change outfits few times a day. Note for yourself what you wear on a positive morning and what you wear when you wake up tired and grumpy. Women who are happy and positive will most likely wear a favorite dress and perhaps even spice it up with jewelry. Women who are sad or depressed will wear baggy clothing or jeans with a sweatshirt. Experts say you're most likely not going to want to wear an outfit you wore during a hard situation.

Love In The Time of Corona
Today, the whole world has been thrust in the arms of a wide range of challenges. Basically, everything that people do has changed dramatically. As everyone gets older, the foundation of their lives has been affected, including how people are choosing to stay connected during corona. From talking to loved ones on their mobile phones to communicating with family and friends via text messaging, the technological advancements available during these periods of lockdowns have been very beneficial.
Though there is nothing like direct human communication live, some people are still looking for creative ways to meet new people. This is especially true for people who are searching for a mate that they will not only date but can make a life commitment like marriage. That being said, here are some safe ways that people can find new potential friends to spend time with.
Each one reach one - Old Fashioned Virtual Meetings
If you want to be safe while meeting new people, there are many ways to meet new people and stay connected. For instance, if you really want to meet other people out of your present circle, join a group that requires invitation only. Simply stated, ask a friend or family member to introduce you to a virtual group with people who have a common interest. Just like you may be invited to a physical social gathering, you can be invited to virtual gatherings that you can attend, too.
Be the host of a Group and Invite Friends that know other Singles During Quarantines
Again, if you want to meet people in a safe manner, you can be the host. In this way, you can always control who attends, while also meeting people that your friends and family are already close to or acqainted to.
Agree to Virtual Meetings and share common interest that you like
If hosting your own group is successful, you can always keep in touch with these new acquaintances. For instance, you may want to keep in touch by skype and other means of communications before and after corona.
Meet in Your Local Restaurants that's Open for Eat-in **
Even though some places are not allowing people to eat inside of their establishments, others are making the necessary arrangements by complying with the latest corona regulations. So, if you really want to meet with new acquaintances, you may want to consider the places that will allow you to eat-in.
Today, with all of the mandates and quarantines that people are experiencing all over the United States and abroad, meeting others is a challenge within itself. Also, because most people are considered to be social beings, the need to connect with one another is not a luxury but necessity. Therefore, if you really want to make sure that you can overcome these disruptions in your social life, you need to make safe plans with people that you already know.
