I'd be really lonely if I didn't have my work to occupy me. But I'm moderately lonely because I have no friends. I'd like to meet non-vaxxed trump supporting patriots in my city of Austin, TX, but I have no idea how to go about that.
I think relationships are important in life and I've been lacking in that area. But it's time for me to make an effort and reach out to the right people I resonate and relate to.
If you're in the neighborhood, let's connect!
I liked the parts about valuing yourself. "Do I have to make friends with every person or else I'm a racist sexist bigot?" I hope that's not what you meant by point. And declaring what this is all about, is not a point.. Also, generally we don't know where our mates will pop up. Of course we are all free to exclude anyone, I really am not for recommending such discernment, to someone struggling to connect with others. In this scenario, I recommend saving elimination for the later rounds. And I'm thankful that we don't agree on the advice we offer our friend. Being picky can be very useful, but its not always a good fit. There are many levels of friendship, and choosing who gets to be close, is a very important use of being picky.
Return RESPEC. I hope we were successful in helping our friend.
