I moved to where I lived so I could walk to work. 6 months later the pandemic hit and I more or less spent 80-90% of the past 5 years alone in my apartment. I miss working in the office because I miss just being able to talk to close coworkers/friends, no slack, no zoom, just walking over and if they weren't focused chatting or discussing and just having social interaction
Fuck, I miss the walk to work and interacting with people
There was lots of shitty stuff about working in the office but damn I do miss it
Only time in my adult life I managed to be regularly hygenic tbh
Have you considered getting a social life?
Have you considered that that might be difficult with antisocial attitudes like the one expressed by OOP becoming the norm?
Nah, it's not about to be the norm: people just vary in their social disposition with some wanting none of it. That's fine & should be accepted. Have you looked at society?
Yeah, I have, and I think being fearful and avoidant of each other is more destructive than it is helpful. Have you looked at the up and coming generations, taken seriously the loneliness they are expressing, and acknowledged how that might affect their views on the world and how they treat others?
All social interactions aren't equal. When I go to a shop I avoid people because I am not in that space to socialise. However when I go to a social event I try my best to be outgoing and engage with lots of people.
The OOP reads like all social interactions are equally bad, so I'm not really sure why you're disagreeing with me for disagreeing with the original post. I did not say anything to the contrary of what you are saying.
