I literally have no friends irl or any relationships at all, not even family. Many often I feel so horrible because of my isolation and loneliness.
I need some hope, have any of you had life experiences with extreme loneliness but built relationships?
People who are willing to use platforms like that are going to suffer in long term and ethical internet is an important value for me. From what I read, meetup.com is already enshittifying so I am not missing out on anything.
If a person says they are hungry and you give them an apple, and that person hands it back and says they only eat organic, then partly that person is causing their own problem.
What I am hearing right now is that you are choosing that you would rather be lonely than compromise your ideals, which is fine… But it sounded like you were tired of being lonely and were willing to try new things.
That new thing to try might just be compromise.
Good luck to you, friend.
