When someone shares too-private information on Instagram in the search for likes. When someone does any kind of dance on TikTok.
\nWhen someone excitedly joins a multi-level marketing scheme. When someone swears they\u2019re turning over a new leaf for the sixth time in as many years.
\nWhen someone acts like they\u2019re the first person to discover the arguments for atheism. When someone falls down a conspiracy-theory rabbit hole.
\nWhen someone marries a red-flag-waving trainwreck. When someone breaks up with a partner who\u2019s perfect for them.
\nWhen someone responds to a small setback with tears or rage.<\/p>\n
At such times, it\u2019s hard not to cringe, slap your forehead, and wonder, \u201cGeez, why would they do that?!\u201d
\nAt such times, when your cynicism about humanity deepens and your desire to stay connected to loved ones slackens, there\u2019s a mantra \u2014 worth regularly repeating \u2014 that will help you cultivate greater patience and empathy for others (and more compassion for your own history of cringeworthy moments too).<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone\u2019s just trying to make it in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone\u2019s born naked and ignorant and never given a guidebook to what lies ahead.
\nEveryone\u2019s seeking to get their needs met without always knowing how to go about it.
\nEveryone\u2019s yearning to be liked, recognized, and desired.
\nEveryone\u2019s struggling to accept that no one will ever love them as much as they think they deserve.
\nEveryone\u2019s harboring some childhood insecurity.
\nEveryone\u2019s worried they\u2019re exactly as uncool as they imagine themselves to be while staring at the ceiling at night.
\nEveryone\u2019s starving for significance and hungry for joy.
\nEveryone\u2019s looking for home.
\nEveryone\u2019s in need of a little grace.
\nEveryone\u2019s just trying to make it in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
