Bad habits
The Upstairs Virtuoso's Shadow
Charles lived above. Apartment 3B. He was a man of strong passions. He played the violin. Played it well, with a fierce concentration. He grew things. Green things. His balcony was a small, dense jungle. Ferns cascaded over the edges. Vines gripped the railings like determined fingers. He kept birds too. Finches, perhaps. Bright flashes of movement. He trained them. They answered his low whistle with sharp, clear trills. To Charles, it was a life lived fully. Sound. Leaf. Song. Good.

She Got One Wish—and Used It to Destroy the World
Arielle was invisible. Not literally—but as close as someone could get. No family. No close friends. Her co-workers barely remembered her name. Her neighbors didn’t make eye contact. She passed through life like a shadow, and eventually, she stopped trying to be seen.

My Journey From Self-Doubt to Self-Love
There was a time when just getting through the day felt like carrying a thousand-pound weight I couldn’t name. I’d smile at people, laugh at the right moments, and keep myself “put together.” But inside? I was constantly battling the belief that I wasn’t good enough, like no matter what I did, I was always falling short. Of what exactly? I wasn’t even sure. All I knew was that I couldn’t keep living like that.

people who have nearly no close friends or family to lean on usually display these habits without realizing it
In today’s hyper-connected world, loneliness is a growing epidemic that often goes unnoticed. Not everyone who appears fine on the surface is truly okay inside. Some individuals have little to no emotional support—no close friends to confide in, no family members to rely on. And while they may function "normally" in society, they often display subtle, unconscious habits that point to a deeper lack of connection and support. These behaviors are not always easy to spot—even the people exhibiting them may be unaware.
