>>40248415I have a job that has me working 12 hours a day for 3 and a half days (one day only has 6 hours) overnight, and I haven't spoken to anyone besides online buddies, family and coworkers in the course of the past two years since my mum passed away. Im realizing here that this state of friendlessness isnt gonna change unless I put in the work to meet new people. In my case, it isn't that I have anxiety or don't have alright social skills, but its more the thought of having a decent time at home with online buds rather that potentially having a not-great time outside, struggling to find a group to gel with.
The thing I gotta get through my head, and the thing a lot of anons here need to understand, is that finding that group and doing real-life shit with them is how you get the best experiences out of life. We aren't gonna be around forever, and its gonna be worth leaving that comfort zone even if we get a few bumps, scrapes, and bruises along the way. The people in this thread, you and myself included, all can find love and camraderie if we try. Lets go out and find new shit to do, new people to chum around with even if they don't share all our interests! Lets find the kinda people who'd be alright with our sick degenerative fetishes and still love us at the end of the day. We just gotta take that first step, then the next, and the next after that.
We're all gonna make it, brah.
