Speaking about emerge of the ideas. It’s Friday and I’m sitting bored a bit, staring and multiple monitors and waiting for all devices to finish installing updates. And I’ve turned on YouTube.

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard it before, but this time it clicked. In that video creator was sharing an approach of making content like “talking to a best friend”. It clicked differently this time.

How do I do that if I have no idea who is the best friend and how to talk to them? What does it mean to talk to a friend? Does it mean talking to a person openly and trying to figure out in the background how my words will be used against me? Does it means sharing honest opinion and thinking how much I will regret about someone going into the rage mode?

Who is “the best friend”?

And this brings me back to the old question about the concepts. I know for sure there are many people like me. And all the concept of “best friend”, “tribe” an similar are not somehow close to their experience. People being bullied, like me. People, who survived and made it through even worst scenarios. Traumatized, bended, squeezed but not even close broken.

We have our stories to share as well. And to grab that attention and credibility. These are you, other people, who do not deserve to be treated friendly. Evil, greedy, envy. Some do not deserve to be spoken to. But we forget, we move on and we do our best to make the world better place. At least for those who cares at least a bit.

Not everyone’s equal. Even more - we’re all different, and even basic concepts and experience might differ. It does not mean we should stop communicating. It means the simple, common ground might not be so simple and is not so common as we think.

What is your way to sound friendly on public or camera, who are you imagining you’re speaking to? Are there always your friends out there?
