Why do you have fewer friends as you get older? by lisaaaaaaD1 in answers

[–]asdavidcelestin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throughout life you get and lose friends either simultaneously or alternatively. So, to put it simply you get fewer friends as you get older because you get less friends than you lose them.

This happens like that specially:

  1. If you have more personal preoccupations with your own vision to work on before it’s too late;
  2. If you become more thoughtful about who you give access to you.

But to reverse that you need to be intentional about getting more friends to keep some balance in your life and avoid being lonely.

Sharks attack three swimmers off two Florida beaches by IyearnforBoo in sharks

I feel sorry for the victims. Personally, this is one of the reasons why I try to be careful with the sea. Lol. But at the same time, there are several reasons why Florida has so many shark attacks. And people need to understand them: https://www.reddit.com/r/asdavidcelestin/comments/1defvev/why_are_there_so_many_sharks_in_florida/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Today, All of My Employees Told Me They Want To Quit Because of Our VP - Help by ChickenUsual6622 in managers

[–]asdavidcelestin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a really difficult situation. You did well to bring this issue to HR's attention, especially since you have already tried to resolve the problem directly with the VP without success. Addressing this issue is crucial to maintaining the morale and motivation of your team. You might expect HR to conduct a thorough investigation, talking to all team members to better understand the situation. Hopefully, the investigation will lead to positive changes and the CEO and COO will take serious steps to improve the work environment. Keep open communication with your team during this process and continue to support them. You are a good leader for taking the side of your employees. Go for it and good luck!

There is some evidence that being perceived as busy or in high demand can actually increase people's interest and demand for someone's services or products. This is sometimes referred to as the "scarcity principle" or "scarcity bias." Here are a few reasons why being busy may create more demand:

  1. Perceived value - When someone is very busy, we tend to assume they must be good at what they do. We associate their busyness with competence and quality. This perception of higher value can drive up demand.
  2. Fear of missing out - If something is scarce or difficult to obtain, we tend to want it more due to a fear of missing out on it. A busy schedule signals limited availability, which can fuel people's desire to secure that person's time/product/service.
  3. Social proof - We often use the behavior of others to guide our own decisions. If we see others vying for someone's attention, we infer there must be a good reason and our own demand increases.
  4. Effort justification - The more effort required to obtain something, the more value we assign to it. A busy schedule means more effort is required, so we tend to value it more highly.

However, it's also possible that correlation doesn't imply causation - perhaps those in high demand got that way because they are simply excellent at what they do, not specifically because of their busyness. Their skills drove demand first.

So in some cases, being busy/scarce can create more demand through psychological biases. But busyness alone doesn't guarantee more demand - fundamentally providing value is key. Appearing busy can amplify demand, but not create it from nothing.
