Emily V. Gordon Instagram – Someone recently told me about an app called @thoughtfuldotcom that wants to help combat the epidemic of loneliness. 
So I looked into it! 

It has you take a pretty good quiz to determine what your connection style is, then you add info about a few people you want to be close with, and then it prompts you to check in with them on a daily basis. 

It’s also got a pretty good supply of articles around social interactions- how to do them, how to tackle tough topics, etc. I’ve only used it for a week, and this isn’t sponcon. No one asked me to post this. I’m sure it’s not perfect, but I appreciate anyone trying to help people connect with each other in a personalized way. 

Relationships are a plant that need cultivating. More than ever, people are horrifically lonely and also feel frozen/stupid/too vulnerable/too tired at the idea of even checking in. 

So get the app (it is paid but has a free trial) if this appeals! Let me know what you think. 

My only bit of advice to add is that I find speaking the internal monologue around things that feel silly/awkward usually helps. If you’re reaching out to a friend because you’re lonely and you’re worried you’re not doing it right, say that: “hey I’m trying this new thing where I check in with people I appreciate, so I’m doing it with you even though I feel silly about it, so let’s just act like I’ve been doing this for years already?” 

(Also, is anyone who knows me shocked that I’m an organizer?)
Emily V. Gordon Instagram – Consumption list!
1) Thirsty Suitors- a cheeky and very smart relationship video game. Just the opening quiz/training section blew me away with its wit and deep self awareness. 
2) What a Way to Go- a 1964 movie starring Shirley MacLaine and all of the men. It’s not a perfect movie but has some of the best set design and costuming I’ve ever seen. And it’s very meta. 
3) When Evil Lurks. Gnarly. Fierce. Fucked up. Watch it.
