Why Quick Exits Will Never Have a Community Board

(And Everyone Should Be Grateful)

Every now and then someone asks, “Hey, are you going to build a Quick Exits community? A forum? A group chat? A place where everyone can talk about this stuff?”

The short answer: absolutely not.

The longer answer: absolutely not, and here’s why.

Let’s imagine a Quick Exits Community Board for a moment.

Thread 1:

“Is this panic-doom feeling my inner child or is Mercury in retrograde?”

Instant replies from strangers who have decided that they are now your nervous system’s project manager.

Thread 2:

“My limbic system did something weird. Thoughts?”

Twenty people diagnosing each other with everything except the obvious: your limbic system is… a limbic system.

Thread 3:

A heated debate about whether the somatic tension in your left shoulder is an ancestral wound or just bad posture.

And of course someone will post at 3:12 a.m.:

“Can someone PLEASE explain what my subconscious is trying to tell me???”

As if the subconscious is a Slack channel that just needs better moderation.

Here’s the thing:

The subconscious does not respond well to committee input.

It does not enjoy group projects.

It does not want feedback from Brad in Winnipeg who has decided he can interpret your dreams.

Quick Exits is designed for you — your system, your mind, your patterns.

It’s intimate work.

It’s not a team-building exercise.

And honestly, the fastest way to derail your progress is to let a bunch of well-meaning strangers start crowdsourcing interpretations of your subconscious imprinting. Your survival mind already has enough to deal with. It doesn’t need a panel.

So no: there will be no community board.

Not because I don’t value connection, but because Quick Exits works precisely because it removes the social interference: the opinions, the performative healing, and the endless group analysis.

If you want to share your experience, you can do it anonymously here and without an audience. That’s where the real insight tends to live — not in a comment thread with 48 conflicting opinions and someone linking a YouTube video titled “How I Cured My Trauma With Celery Juice.”

Your nervous system deserves better than that.

And so do you.
