Do you ever send private messages for no other reason than to connect?
“I saw [this] and thought of you!”
“I really loved your post today!”
“Good luck at the dentist.”
Three reasons why you should:
1- Few people show they care about others online.
Yet we all crave connection.
It’s a kindness you can give another human being, without expectation.
2- Law of reciprocity
An organic response when someone shows kindness towards you, is to move towards them.
3- Visibility
When you chat with someone in DMs, the next time you/they post on that platform, you will be top of each other’s feed.
Together with #2, who knows what could happen next.
Don’t do this because you EXPECT something to happen though.
Only reach out because you genuinely want to.
#2 and #3 are the natural rewards of heartfelt kindness.
