By understanding a persons level of emotional maturity, we can choose how we engage with them.

HERE’S 5 CORE SIGNS OF EMOTIONAL IMMATURITY 🧵:

1. Highly Defensive: unable to listen to another persons thoughts or feelings without becoming defensive.

Ex: “oh I guess I’m just a terrible person!”
2. Dismissive of Feelings: invalidates, denies, or tries to change the ways person feels in attempt to make themselves more comfortable

Ex: “you’re so sensitive.” “guess you can’t take a joke” “why did you take it that way?”
3. Everything centers around their emotions: everything is brought back to themselves and how they feel father than validating or being curious about the other persons inner world.

Ex: You share how you feel & the response is: “oh well imagine how I FEEL!”
4. Black and White Thinking: attempts to fine safety by having inflexible ideas, opinions, and belief. Has little/no tolerance of other people’s opinions.

Ex: “that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard”
5. Take Everything Personally: feels personally attacked easily. Unable to put their ego aside to have a vulnerable emotional connection because of a fragile sense of self.

Ex: “maybe life would be easier for you if I wasn’t around!”

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
