The really hard part is that a lot of the isolation is from fear, not just in response to mandate. It’s not like just saying “go for it” would fill up bars and restaurants.
fwiw i live alone and started struggling with the isolation in ways i didn’t anticipate a few weeks back. moderated my views on our state’s approach, and had to switch up my routine. human contact is something we need, and your mental health is not a joke.https://twitter.com/rivatez/status/1264536799986114562 …

oh i’m fine now, switched up my routine and started seeing friends on the weekends. we spend most of our time at the park, though, which is why i get so angry when people try to fuck with our open spaces.

I’m lucky to be living w/partner, but I also have a few friends living alone - all men. I worry about them and try to proactively reach out, esp because I’m concerned they won’t reach out to me if they’re truly feeling down. Hang in there, Mike! Internet hugs!

I know this sounds like a meme but in my case playing online video games with good friends really helped. Haven't done this much online gaming since adolescence. Highly recommend.

i started doing that and it was definitely important, but not enough. started spending time in the park with friends on the weekend and that's just the way it's gotta be for me moving forward.

One thing I'm curious about is whether inceldom and concepts like "touch starvation" are going to get more mainstreamed or reassessed
