Then that's a serious problem all on its own.
If this is real, there are some things I can suggest, but I can't guarantee a solution because this is an absurd situation. You might try looking into government aid programs, looking for a better paying job with fewer hours, or if you're not a single parent with young kids only, asking someone else in the family to pull some weight too. And if you can't get out of the no-free-time situation, try making friends with coworkers.
If this isn't real, then why is that your response to general advice? Seems kinda like if someone recommends walking for exercise and you say "What if I'm paralyzed from the waist down?"
Snarky trolling isn’t my usual MO. It’s real. Thanks for the comment. I have online ‘friends’… or at least, human contact. Does that count.
As someone who's been in both boats, it counts, but I wouldn't rely on it forever. Having friends in person is way more... human, I guess?
Probably better if you have regular voice/video chats. Haven't been in that middleground.
I used to have a good friend but he shot himself a few years ago. It takes a long time for me to make proper friends. Lemmy is actually pretty chill. It’s been nice just chatting with people here. Less toxic than another place I won’t mention.
I'm really sorry for the loss of your friend. :(
I really hope that wonderful people find their way into your life, and you can find meaningful connections with kindred spirits. <3
Thanks internet stranger. Likewise for you.
Doesn't exist.
I know right. As if we all aren't looking for that all the time...
