The world seems so different...
I have recently divorced for the second time. The last time I was single (10 years ago), I could work during the week and go out on the weekends to drink and dance. It seemed easy to connect with people. Now, it seems like everyone is distracted. Even my almost 80 year old mother can't hold a conversation without looking at her phone (FB). My hello doesn't get a response and people look at me like I'm weird if I say excuse me or thank you. Maybe I am weird... My circle was already small as far as friends and got even smaller during the time I was married. I winded up changing a lot, becoming more introverted. I also started the spiritual journey and that made me more serious because I became aware of other people's suffering and all of the crazy stuff going on in the world.
So, I've been teleworking since 2020 and now live alone. It's getting hard for me to leave the house at all. I'm getting depressed and feel tired. I'm always overeating and gaining massive weight, but that's another whole issue. Right now I just need to learn how to break out of my shyness and make some friends off of (FB). Maybe help other people. I don't know...
