As young people who long for real, honest relationships with other people, it’s easy to overshare in order to instantly create emotional intimacy. The problem is that this intimacy is artificial, and doesn’t respect the principle that relationships are differentiated in large part because different levels of emotional intimacy are reserved for different *kinds* of relationships

Domestic narratives + focus on description + mind-numbing ”lyrical” prose = readers who focus on the *form* of literature and not its power to confront, protest, disrupt, and generally expand our understanding of the real world, where there’s social and economic evil around every corner
