Your sense of connection to your community could feel fragile today, but insecurity is temporary. If you’re doubting whether you have anything unique to offer while venting to a friend or blogging to the world at large, interrupt the thought with mindless chit-chat. Sending silly memes, engaging in small talk, or telling a stranger on the bus that you like their socks will bust you out of unhelpful narratives. After all, laughing with others is often the perfect remedy to inner angst.
