I’ve felt he same way as you. If you have an activist tenant or worker organization or a socialist party that’s actually work joining know that they want and need your time even if you think you have nothing to offer them. If you show up consistently when they need you it won’t matter if you have nothing interesting to say.
Go to a DIY space (micro cinema, punk concert venue, comedy club) and you’ll find other poorly socialized people which really doesn’t make it any easier on you; two awkward people not knowing how to carry on a conversation is worse than one. But the point here is to realize you survive these scenarios (and aren’t alone) and build comfort and confidence in being uncomfortable.
Cooking, wood working, gardening. These are hobbies so neglected by most people these days that at an advanced beginner level you’re already beyond the average person. Try various hobbies, give each one 2 or 3 genuine attempts, stick with the one that made you feel the most alive. I didn’t like cooking at first but grew to really appreciate the process and how much direct control you have over an act of transformation.
Just some thoughts.
What year is it?
I decided not to pursue diagnosis when I read that taking stimulants with high blood pressure is bad. I’d be happy to have this notion corrected.
2008 libertarian to 2012 socialist curious, started frequenting the Chapo sub in 2017 and came over here when it was banned.
I’ve stayed because y'all are way funnier than anyone on Reddit and your hearts are always in the right place… seriously, there’s like a utopian level of kindness here. Oh and no ads!!!
Plus someone here introduced me to Black Dresses so I consider you taste makers as well.
2019 libs yelling at Bernie for saying post revolution gains in Cuban literacy were a good thing.
“What the return of Trump means for sales of my next airport book.”
Wouldn’t want to waste the rest of his political capital…
Both of them are on a shelf reserved for pickup by this guy who reserves tons of shit and never picks any of it up. No I can’t remove it and sell it to you, my boss has been very clear about that.
NGL, money pythons sound pretty scary.
I log out for 14 hours and suddenly the references are completely indecipherable. Hexbear is a cultural vanguard.
I’d post up my favorite diy punk venue but it would be bad opsec. There’s got to be a place just like it in every mid to large city and they’re putting the best sounding most talented people you’ve never heard of on stage.
