How do ya'll feel about strangers adding you on LinkedIn? Personally, I think it's creepy unless they put something in the invite and you have friends in common.

Wouldn't worry about that you are over thinking it, it's not for 'friends'

I felt the same way initially. However, the more sr you get, the more it happens. So far, the worst part of are random sales calls. The benefit is I have occasionally been able to reach out to them for sales calls too.

Don't overthink it. It's not for friends and the people you know. It's for future connections and the people you may work with in the future. If you weed out recruiters and just accept invites from creatives and normal agency folks (non HR) you'll be great. Due to the linked in algorithm the more people you're connected with the more interesting your feed will become and more opportunities will present themselves to you.

I add anyone who seems interesting. If they have a more "boomer" sensibility, they will sometimes message me and ask if I know them personally, and I tell them why I added them.

It annoys me when I get added by people I've never worked with before. Automatic deny.

I only deny people who are going to try to sell me something (with VP sales in title) or creepy peeps. Otherwise they could be a connection you need someday.

Sharing some thoughts I’ve had lately:

The end of my suffering occurs with the death of my ego. I am reborn when I surrender to life exactly as it is, right at this moment (and it’s always “this moment”). I can begin to grow when I either accept life as it is, or I change my life because I can’t accept it. The better I become at surrender and acceptance, the more I experience serenity. After a long enough time I realize I’ve had a spiritual awakening. Now I am peace / joy / love.

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?
