Do you not like any of them?

They are perfectly fine people, but I have no desire to become comfortable enough with them that I feel less lonely. That implies some sort of intimacy, where I rely on or confide in them, it's being vulnerable really, and I keep my work life professional and my personal life private.

It's like yin and yang

That's very interesting and I wonder if it is related to your physical fitness? Social interaction and going out does require more from your body and I wonder if this is something you can train for like you train your muscles

Yeah the online interaction can't convey the human warmth as well as irl does for sure.

This is one of those things that if you find people into the same thing, you can instantly bond over since it is quite niche

I only wish that is true, beyond the one close friend I made. There are gaps in my social skillset and mentality that makes it difficult for me to achieve.

Those are so important! I often struggle to suggest activities other than sports

Right, the whole aspect of shared culture passed down many generations contain the wisdom that makes sure everyone has a role in the society

Classes are actually so great for meeting new people. Caveat: needs to be in person

Def on the higher end of social media IQ spectrum

Certainly likes to pretend that it is, anyway.

Wouldn’t mind that’s for sure

Gotta meet where the people are to get them unstuck!
