This is really a monumental societal change.

3rd spaces are nearly completely destroyed, and online seems to be the main option for ppl now.

right... I can't meet anyone for the life of me and be damned if I give a rats ass about even attempting to meet someone online. it's a ceaspool of distrust, lies and fake garbage online. not a good way to meet anyone tbh..

Hopefully third spaces make a strong comeback, which would be far easier in socialism.

I just want somewhere that I can put my personal wall down again. that won't happen on the internet where I won't ever know the recipient in a trustworthy way.

That's fair! I've found organizing work to be a good way to connect with people IRL, maybe do something similar? A hobbyist group, maybe?

I think I should volunteer.. I'm only happy when doing for others. I always disregard myself and when there's no others, I suffer.

thank you.

That sounds great for you! There are a lot of cool orgs or charities that would love to have more help!
