Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

For anyone out there who sees this post and thinks, "if you have friends", this is for you.
Go to a library and spend some time in there. Volunteer to read for storytime or for the blind. Get out and start showing an interest in something. It takes time, but with enough repetition, people will notice you're a regular and have something to talk about with you. Friends grow when we stop and talk, learn about each other.
Small talk sucks because it's about something neither person cares about.
Or join a makerspace. Learn how to make things and also meet people.
