I felt the same but with people that had no idea how to be by themselves

You can do plenty of drugs and alcohol on your lonesome.

Partying by myself…that is a real party. No pressure, all good vibes as I’m my own personal hype man esp while drunk.
Another way I’m a little insufferable but like… yeah the pandemic and quarantine sucked, but I read a lot of books, played a lot of video games, had a great online DND game.
Some people just seem so helpless and inept. They’d be like “I just need to see other people” and I’m like please develop some discipline.
The “new introverts”, as it were
Involuntary introverts
Invintroverts, if you will
I mean we are social animals by nature.
I struggled too. Since the last wave of cost of living increases these motherfuckers are all over my reduced-to-clear stickered items, and the absolute basic no-frills supermarket-brand essential stuff is through the fucking roof.
Flour and water, meemaw. Flour and water.
And don’t forget potatoes!

and the consequences of the Iran war still haven’t hit fully
Full blown shanty country
Part of the issue is because a lot of people aren’t literally in shanties it’s hard for people to recognise that poverty is becoming quite remarkably bad. The poor have electricity and internet now and I think its screwing with our brains. The other major factor here is that a lot of homeless people live in their cars rather than shanties which makes the issue less visible as cars look more expensive than shacks and tents and parked cars are ignorable. The average quality of living for people at the bottom is better than the gilded age but the income and quality of living divide is terrifyingly vast and it’s not improving.
