Hi,

I come from a weird background where I have had a kind of unpleasant start family wise. Now I'm at a better place, I'm grateful for it. Learned to be a kinda happy orphan lol.

One day at a time lol.

I've learned that the the word proximity seems very powerful and helps ppl understand that it doesn't equate to identity.

For example you can be proximal to someone, nation or a concept but that doesn't mean you then become ''identity''-wise this person or are now ''part-x-person'' or ''mix-person''.

More precisely if you were raised by your grandmother you can be proximal to elders, but that doesn't mean you are ''part-elder'' nor that every elder feel proximal to u by default.

Same can be said about anything...

I rarely see the word proximity being used to fight identity-fraud, but I think it could solve some issues as being outraged and tired is understandable but using the word ''proximity'' is a very easy way to redirect the energy and actually helps more then just saying ''no'' ''stfu'' ''bruh'' or any paraphrase of that. Even if it's understandable, not here to judge, just to strike a convo and nuance things out.

Ofc some ppl are just straight up disrespectful people, but I think a big bunch are just lost and that being outright ''stfu'' is understandable but might not be the best... it just creates distance and silence.

I also have a very patient personality (that might be bad in some situation) but yeah so maybe that's just me... that's just my thoughts at the moment... hope it strike a convo.

Hope this can create something. Maybe I'm just too optimistic/delusional 😅
