It's understandable to feel like you're struggling to connect with others on a deeper level, especially in today's world where comparison and social pressures can create barriers to forming meaningful connections. One approach to improving these connections is to focus on genuine empathy and understanding. Instead of comparing yourself to others, try to truly listen to and understand their experiences and emotions. Show vulnerability and share your own struggles, which can help foster a deeper sense of connection and empathy. Additionally, seeking out shared activities or interests can provide a strong foundation for building connections. It's important to remember that meaningful connections take time and effort, so be patient with yourself and others as you navigate this journey.
