Happens about 20mins after I wake up.

When you already checked your usual 5 apps and don’t know what else to do with your day:

    I had to move to a country with a more introverted culture than the one I grew up in (not the US), and I’ve struggled finding friends to spend my free time with so far, so I spend it on apps :-( They really are just a last resort and I’d much rather spend my time with actual people like in the olden days :-/

        Smart move the latter, ~didn’t think it.

        About the former, I recently realized in practice that it’s important to pick up activities etc. that you like and that attract people you can bond with. For example I like weightlefting at gym, but I realized it attracts so many people with repulsive ideologies, while I tried dancing and mobility classes the same gym offers and the environment was much much better, I found many good people there. (I still do weightlifting though and I found some good people there too.)

        Plus, voicing your opinions helps a lot to filter people (I’m struggling a lot with this though).
