Man, I miss the good old days when we had some communities and places where we could meet up with people from our neighborhood or whatever. Everything in the world became so much poisonous, most individuals are brain washed and all they care about is “self”. Hell, they even commercialized meeting up with that meetup website.
I literally sat down and thought about this very same topic today: What are we supposed to do when we’re not at work or commuting? Try to form a band? Everybody wants to play a very specific “self” music. Join in a hobby class? No thanks capitalism. Volunteer? I don’t even feel like my time is appreciated there anymore, like on purpose I’m being felt into thinking “you’re doing a free labour for us!!!”
I really miss the times when we could simply meetup and talk about whatever. People had a lot more empathy, and there was a social code that would punish you if you’re being selfish and rude, now it feels the opposite.
Yeah, it’s been a real challenge. In my effort to break from the internet as my social outlet, I’ve been volunteering at my local fire company, going to church, and trying to get involved with some local politics. Difficult for sure.

Church groups used to serve that purpose for me, but I gave up religion a long time ago.
I think it’s a millennial/gen z thing, the oldies seem to still find plenty of people to spend time with
