I deleted my Facebook account because I get bored of following fake friends' posts 🙂

We don't need to talk about Facebook, let's consider something significantly older: Addiction recovery fellowships. Do people allow themselves to be seen, can they feel safe enough to be fully open, or does it kind of amount to using that system to judge oneself and others (whether it's verbalized or not) in a reductionistic way? While there is a general awareness around trauma now I don't know how much of it extends to consideration for others, or if it's just sort of like don't trigger me but your stuff is just whatever kind of attitude. No code of behavior can make anyone care enough to see anyone as more than a profile, whether that's a literal page on social media or a basic reductionistic lens people form about others.
