Society

In a recent column, David Brooks said the following: "..individualist description of human nature seems to be wrong. Over the past 30 years, there has been a tide of research in many fields, all underlining one old truth — that we are intensely social creatures, deeply interconnected with one another and the idea of the lone individual rationally and willfully steering his own life course is often an illusion."

We need each other. And yet, sometimes it's so easy to feel like it's just you against the world, yearning and struggling alone in order to navigate the often cloudy landscape of social networks.

I suck at it.
