I was miserably lonely at one point in my life. What helped me was forcing myself to go do social things. For me it was table top games way back in the day.

Nowadays I’ve been able to form new friendships on Mastodon with a wide group of people. I just followed some people I thought were interesting and started to interact with them.

But I think the key for me was to get over the idea that I wasn’t interesting or whatever. People like camaraderie even if it is from a not very interesting person like myself.

The people who are ignorant of what they voted for are persuadable. People who I consider fascists only understand one thing.
