This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

IDK about 'loneliness epidemic', but 'lonely' IS my normal.

I do communicate with some friends more than once a week, but none of them even live in the same city as I do.

That's the hell of it, but if you feel lonely at a base level, I suggest you try to find or start community events. You'd be amazed how effective Meetup is.

I have health issues that get in the way of in-person-socializing.

I don't really have a way to deal with that. I have my own issues, but I do fight past them to try being social whenever I can. The biggest thing I can say is to find groups who do voice & video chats more often.

Depends where you are, seems to be a pretty US-based thing. Here it is all weird stuff.

Fair enough, but I'm sure there's an alternative.
