    • Your observation about the world’s current state is quite poignant. Indeed, a lack of fraternity can lead to increased divisions and misunderstandings among people. Promoting empathy, kindness, and mutual respect is essential for building stronger communities and fostering a sense of global unity.

      • You correct my sentence as below:
        Mothers are usually likely the first confidants of anybody.
        I think “confidante” is the best choice for this sentence. Because it refers to “Mothers” and it should be singular due to “the first”.

        • You’re right about “confidante” as the feminine noun. However, after “the first” and “the last”, you could also use a plural noun. E.g. the first days of school were rather horrifying. You should also note that confidantes refers to “mothers”, which is plural.
          Thanks for asking.

            • Yes, it was intentional. Consider the following example:
              Correct: This is the book I was talking about.
              Incorrect: This is the book I was talking abut it.
              The same principle applies to this sentence. “It” should be omitted because we’ve already talked about it in the same sentence.
              Thanks for asking. It shows you’re paying specific attention to the details.

      • It’s true that navigating life without confidants can be challenging and requires a certain level of resilience and inner strength. When you don’t have close friends or trusted individuals to lean on, developing a strong sense of self-reliance and confidence becomes crucial.

      • Introverted individuals may sometimes appear less energetic or more reserved compared to their extroverted counterparts, especially in social settings. This difference in behavior is often due to the way introverts and extroverts recharge their energy. Introverts typically gain energy from solitude and quiet reflection, while extroverts thrive on social interaction and external stimulation.

      • Indeed, extroverted individuals often thrive on social interactions and enjoy meeting people from diverse backgrounds. Their outgoing nature and enthusiasm for engaging with others make them naturally inclined to seek out new connections and experiences.
