because people dont have social skills anymore. COVID really fucked a lot of people up, and when you see what happens to the people who even try to make an attempt, it really turns you off of doing anything, just ever in general. I dont have this problem cuz I kinda lucked out on social skills IRL, even if I suck at it online :p just celebrated my 3rd anniversary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3rmrml1oNs
I say this to everyone out there, this is a "buy the dip" opportunity time for people on a social level. Go adopt a group of poorly-socialized peers and just reinvent socializing from the ground up. No rules, no enforcement, wanna play retro games and get high like teens? How about everyone goes to the horse races even though nobody knows how? Just go buy a couch together, decide who gets it after with a game of chance.
This is how movements are made. I'm not even kidding, there are TONS of people out there of all walks of life who just want someone to show them how to "social" and are scared of doing something strange and being embarrassed. Everyone is in this deeply isolated headspace hoping someone throws a rope and offers a way out.
Be a way out. Worst that happens is half of them flame out, you still end up with some people in your life you can talk to and hang out with. If you're single, maybe you will hit it off with one of them or someone they know, but if not, who cares. It's still better than being alone.
None of us get out of this alive.
Yup. Go out and invite people. You'll be surprised at how many answer the metaphorical or literal call
I will state, well over half are likely to flame out without considerable effort. Hit rates aren't that high
