Yes, like you, I also changed majorly after 2020; the thin veil of society fell off then, exposing life (and people in general) for the illusion it is. And you cannot unsee what you have seen. I no longer socialize, and I work from home and spend most of time at home all alone. And I love it. Whenever I leave home now, an awful dread fills my gut, in anticipation of dealing with rude and aggressive strangers, two-hour traffic jams, overcrowded streets, and general societal decay. Why leave the peace and safety of one's home for this chaos, aggravation, and exhaustion? And why pay $7 for a cup of coffee outside, when I can make my own at home for less than forty cents per coffee? And my homemade coffee tastes a million times better too!

He was shocked at who gave him a few bucks and who didn't. His secretary gave him more than many of the other people on the list. He told me about the list after I gave him $50 that he thought he knew in advance who would help him. He said he was only 20% correct. That list changed his life for the better. He no longer goes out, he focuses on his career, and the last time I checked he was looking to buy a small gourmet chocolate store.

Almost certain she's infected. SIlent killer. He ripped my lights out and has left me in the dark for a year, because he said he could do the electrics. He's left a hovercraft in my garage and a trailer on my drive for over a year. I don't drive so can't get rid of them. It's like, "what? you're all over the place, you can't control yourself, you've dragged me into the dirt with your problems, and I'm the bad guy for drawing the line?" Sometimes you need to tell people to f off. He's a narcissist through and through. He's a low-key celeb here in the uk, because he was on a popular TV show. His entire life is a lie and he's clinging on to it like a fly to sh*t, while acting like I'm the problem. Being tollerant of him has destroyed my life, and it will destroy hers. Of course, she doesn't know it, because he hasn't the balls to tell her. All I'd have to do is namedrop. This is why I keep myself to myself. I only tollerated him because we've been besties since school, but it's become clear of late, that he is the common denominator in all of the tragedies in my life. Without him, where would I be? Far better in health, and prosperity, than I am now.

[@feywinterfox9630]

Ugh! I felt that with the people being so sensitive to everything. It’s why I almost always hate going out. One friend has so many topics that they are sensitive about that it’s a joke talking to them about anything, sending them anything, so you are just stuck listening to them, and as you say it’s about how much money they make, their job, their house, etc, etc. Can’t even pick an actual fun place to go to do anything because one person doesn’t like doing anything on the weekends and doesn’t want to do anything after 12pm weekdays. Another friend that lives so far out that everything is a hour plus drive. And the last few friends have to clear everything with their wives. It’s so exhausting as you say 😪 At first I used to feel both bad and alone going out and doing things by myself, but after a while I quickly realize that if I don’t go and do something I want to do by myself, it will NEVER happen trying to get friends to do something together. Heck the only time you can get them all together is this one place that is stupidly expensive and always around 10am to 12 on the weekdays. The freaking love gathering at this place where basically you buy food from one of many places, find a place to sit and listen to them talk about work, money, how much they are making, and on and on 😪 Feels like back in the day we did fun things went fun places, DID stuff. A good majority of those people have families now and not in the “I am totally happy and I slowly forgot my friends”, but in the “My wife/husband doesn’t like me hanging out with others” type of way. When people ask why so many adults don’t have friends THIS is why.

I've felt the way since 2018. I've deleted people from my life, life is better this way. The other week a bumped into an old friend from my teens. He wanted my number, I was reluctant to give it to him, but I did. The reason why I was reluctant, he hasn't changed, still talking about old times and people I haven't seen or spoken to in decades. I really don't want to go back, I know I have changed, I'm not the same person they remember.

[@matthewrose8451]

Isolation leads to elevation. Always move in silence. Let your success and light speak for you! Tough times call for more intentional self-care. Take your vitamins. God to therapy. Prioritise hydration. Make a daily to-do list. Set boundaries with social media. Keep doing what gives you peace. Keep your space clean. Meditate, journal, stretch. Focus on what you can control. Apply action to intention. Give yourself grace. Above all else, love yourself.

Actually I just see things returning to normal. The power of femininity used to be bringing out a mans reason to be romantic. Not to be expected to chase by default. Humphrey Bogart wasn't attractive to ladies back then because he tried to get laid like a school frat house teenager. He looked her in the face and said I don't give a damn and walked off. Feminine power was about them being able to actually woo and attract men to them to give a shit about interacting with them to be less stoic. Not the other way around. Men were busy hunting and building society and seeking new worlds. Focusing on themselves and their purpose in this shit life. The modern era has completely flipped around the natural inbred order of how males interact with their environment. I feel most comfortable in myself as a guy when i say little as possible and only exchange information that is nessessary. Talking for the heck of it is feminine. It's gossip. It's unessessary. I honestly don't mind if the culture goes back to a time where it's up to women to reorient themselves back to being the ones that drop the proverbial hankerchief. Give a reason for a man to look away from what he is focusing on to notice her and her aura of please come here sir, I am all for it. The modern world has completely messed up the natural process of how males and females interact. And also how males interact with other males. We're not meant to be feminine to be chatty Kathy's. I feel more comfortable around dudes that accept my silence. We can do activities or engage in something but I don't want to just sit and talk about " things". Your actions and doing what matters means far more to me than someone who talks endlessly but won't have my back when I need it. So frankly I'm not even interested in conversing with most people beyond basic things. I think some men have become exhausted living in a feminine paradigm long enough our natural male tendencies are starting to come out again and we have been told it's "wrong or anti social". Nah I just think it's normal.
