Maybe this isn’t something people on the forum do, but it is something I’ve heard some EAs suggest. People often have a problem when they become EAs that they now believe this really strange thing that potentially is quite core to their identity now and that can feel quite isolating. A suggestion that I’ve heard is that people should find new, EA friends to solve this problem. It is extremely important that this does not come off as saying that people should cut ties with friends and family who aren’t EAs. It is extremely important that this is not what you mean. It would be deeply unhealthy for us as community is this became common.
