You know what's really fucking surreal? I have found myself missing office life purely for the social contact.

My brain keeps telling me that's because my social circle imploded and I'm a terrible person and nobody wants to see me anymore.

I suspect what's really happening is that, no longer living in a Big Furry Social Nexus, I now have to arrange my own damn social life and am essentially stuck in the same 9-5 rut as everyone else... just without coworkers. *shrug*

Ok.

If I may ask, what are you regularly doing, these days, that still brings you joy... for example, when is the last time thou started a cult?

@JulieSqveakaroo That's... that's a difficult question these days since the contours of my social life have been shaken up so much.

I am going out to a water park with Peg next weekend, though. And I have a couple of appointments to visit local friends' pet critters in the near future. *shrug*

I don't think I'll even be able to start another RP environ, let alone a cult, until my faith in other people and friendship in general has had a LOT of time to recuperate, sadly. ;_;

No, that makes perfect sense.

I deal with social isolation a lot because it's better for my anxieties, but there is definitely a toll on my mental health if I'm not enjoying it.
