Hihi
Has anyone had any success in mitigating/combating loneliness with online communities or friends?
I am stuck in an awful part of the US where community was already nonexistent, now with covid doing any actual activity with other people in public is not an option.
In the past this has sent me into severe depressive spirals and, while it isn’t that bad currently, it is something i’d like to change.
but it seems like most people have migrated to reddit (which i dont like), discord (which i dont really get), and maybe a few random forums on the internet (which i dont know about).
So like is this doable/feasible? or is there no realistic option besides finding a coping mechanism?
Unfortunately i don’t have a facebook account and am wary of reddit. I finally managed to pretty much remove it entirely from my browsing habits and dont know if i want to go back. The forum and app are interesting but like why does it have to be an app, i hate using phones for pretty much anything.
I looked in the past and didn’t find it anything in real life and like i said even before covid this place didnt have any sort of actual community but i will be on the lookout.
Yea i kind of resigned to the fact that my best hope is probably only a few online things at this point. Thanks for the suggestions
