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?
at the zenith of my loneliness, i started doing any and every social gathering i could find, whether or not i had any interest or felt comfortable joining.
i was rejected by almost all of them and didn’t like most of the rest, but i found the few that been working for me along with online spaces.
