    Exactly! We long for genuine interaction and pure connectivity.
    That intimation when we talk eye to eye with people, that's what we miss a lot!

    My hack list:
    1. run errands and (like she said) initiate conversation with folks while you’re out
    2. turn on your favorite show from your teenage years and let it run in the background on low volume as you move about your living space
    3. call your mom-she’ll always pick up
    4. write a nice letter to someone over the age of 60 in your life. walk it to the mailbox and stop at Walgreens and pick up your favorite snack on the way back home
    5. don’t judge the feeling. Feeling lonely is not a bad thing or a bad sign-it’s just one of may human emotions, so let the feeling come and go without judging it

    This is easier said than done. What if you have social anxiet? What if you are scared of being judged and have CPTSD from connecting with people because you had experiences of people backstabbing you, bullying you, etc.

    I thought there would be multiple hacks. But she told only two - initiate conversation, and talk not text.

      Both these things get you labelled by people as often being weird or desperate. I ignore them and still leave voicemails and initiate conversation with strangers anyway, but you do risk getting judged for it. Everyone just texts now.

    Some of what she advised to do is super useful but some others are very situational. Speaking to people in the train, very hard since folks already are reading booking, listening to music or something else. Plus cultural differences, beauty of the person also makes a difference. Talking to people as someone who doesn't have good looks comes off as creepy even if the person isn't being so...

    I mean what if others don't want to socialize with me? What if I just sit there awkwardly, not knowing what to say?

    • @gorkemgenc344

      go ask some questions then move on with conversation starters

    • @olayinkaowoseni6212
      @olayinkaowoseni6212 7 місяців тому +2

      Reach out to them first. That's what I do.
      I feel like I'm invisible to people sometimes, but once I initiate conversation, things really pick up.

    Well you don't need a PhD to figure all that out. Just some bloody common sense which, isn't so common anymore. And round and round we go again a self perpetual society of loneliness, like a mouse on a wheel cage running but going nowhere, or people on a treadmill running a road to nowhere and paying someone else for the privilege of it.
