Toe? I feel out of the loop
no worries.
dog tax!
I don't have a dog anymore, he past away almost 10 years ago, i still only have one picture of him though
Also thank you for snap back, broke me out of the loop, feeling a bit calmer now
More dog tax. No payment necessary.
Get help while you are clear.
If you feel like interacting more, one thing I'd suggest is trying to find a hobby or club where you could interact with other people, preferably around the same region you are.
Clubs are a great suggestion. I'd add that volunteering can also sometimes help. I've heard that meal delivery services to the elderly can help tremendously and most of the time, the recipient just wants someone to talk to. Similarly, retirement homes are always looking for volunteers for events, like game night. Again, most of the people served just want someone to talk to. In some instances, volunteering can qualify you for insurance discounts and even help land scholarships.
Thank you for advice,
I can try
I do not think there is much physical clubs in the area where I live.
There is an online group I play games with online but the geographical distance is quite far, but I know I am bit of a trauma landmine so try maintain the acquaintance/ friend line.
Actively joining random official game groups drains my social battery very fast ( I cannot maintain my social cohesion and start to get more internally-agitated) and leaves me exhausted even if I can sort of meld in somewhat successfully.
I guess physical clubs would be better as I can get a two-in-one bonus of physical and social activity in one.
If I had the finances, I would love to join a gym or take up a martial art, but alas it is out of my current financial means
Overall, the idea is something I should try to put some more thought and effort into as it did bring me back to at least what options I have immediately and what options that could be potential.
So thank you again.
