It seems that with every new micro-trend or social phenomena our society is thrust into yet another battle against "loserdom". We are told that our human response to inhuman behavior is "cringe" and that our desire to connect will eventually lead to betrayal and heartbreak. Armchair tik-tok therapist tell us to exercise boundaries and insta info-graphics break down in 5 clear steps on how to "quiet quit" our relationships because of our inability to see difference as a relational asset. What if resignation wasn't our only choice? What does it look like to engage in the courageous act of connection,  and turn away from algorithmically dictated social norms?
