Nvm, this was the actual definition, my bad. Stimming at wikipedia
I guess I had read it, but didn't remember it, so it felt like an original thought.
Leaving this here, but might as well delete if that is preferred.

I admit, my reply does not truly fit here but I think this is the best place (in the current state of this topic) to make a point I think is important and difficult to navigate
I do think individuals state of mind, intentions and actions are the way to bring about change but I also think it's important to not fall into consumerism-patterns.
Like how recycling or buying an electric car is pushed as a solution for climate change when what's needed is global cooperation and policy change wrt resource management.
The positive individual actions we can take do make our own lives and the lives of the people around us better and we get a stronger, more resilient local community.
By building that strong community we do get a platform to launch ourselves towards the greater society we live in to demand change either by reform or revolution (depending in what's possible and/or most adequate).
See for example this Community building post in the Betterment and praxis community.
I've been thinking a lot about dignity lately. I don't think I can define dignity well at all but I'm still pretty sure it has something to do with world peace[1] and a bright future for humankind.
As for how to do it, I don't know, sry.
[1] where peace is not the same as the absence of military conflict but more like peaceful coexistence and cooperation.
Thanks, this looks promising, I'll investigate.
But also thanks for giving me the word "delayed" to use in my searches. Sometimes it's hard to remember good synonyms.
Thanks, but not really as the "time capsule" feature would be lost since the email would be sitting in my future-/scheduled-folder.
But in the end that might be what I end up doing if I can't find a suitable service.
I'm still quite bad at saying no and exiting situations, but I have become much better than before.
Some things I have done and try to remember to do:
I'm really not qualified in any way to state the below, just trying to draw from my personal experience and express what I think is useful and relevant in this situation.
English is not my first language
Honestly I think it is more useful and helpful to focus on the second part of the equation: exiting the situation.
Exiting situations is a tremendously useful life skill regardless of the other person(s) intentions while spotting people with bad intentions could become a burden as it might lead you down a path of mistrusting many more persons than you "need" to mistrust.
Learning to say "no" in different and effective ways is also a way to learn to say yes and will, in my experience, let you live a life closer to what you want.
I suspect that I'm still early on my path to communicate this effectively because I was not really listened to as a child, so my feelings and wishes where not seen as relevant to a situation.
As for how to do it: I don't really have anything groundbreaking to give you. But as with most things I suspect it's just practice: start saying no! And start acknowledging how you feel or felt even if it's too late to do anything about it as that can teach yourself to look for clues (inside yourself) in the future (maybe).
I think there are a few of those, but as with everything targeted to scared relatives/caretakers it is quite expensive and hard to tell how it will age.
Nope, that is a good point.
I think I wrote my original message in a slightly distressed state after a quite bad event where she needed to get in contact with anybody and couldn't.
After some thinking and time away from that scary incident it is quite clear that this mostly is a XY situation (as someone thought) and just getting her a bracelet for her alarm is probably as big a technological fix there can be.
Thanks, this looks like a superfun little gadget.
Unfortunately it lacks any kind of sound output[1] so it doesn't cut it for my intended use.

Well, I'm sure these grey haired people would be more than happy to hike with you and introduce you (more or less subtly) to the people they have in their life of your approximate age and gender-preference.
As they are older (and not just more stressed) they are still used to help people meet "organically".
