Yesterday a delivery guy asked me for directions and that interaction was my social high of the weekend. So yeah, I'm rather extremely lonely most of the time, but HN does not help me with that at all.
- ianai 3y agoIt’s the combativeness masquerading as deep, wise analysis.
- xchip 3y agoWhat stops you from fixing it?
- admissionsguy 3y agoNegative mindset
- xchip 3y agoThat great, at least it is a blocker that depends on you and that you can control.
- sixothree 3y agoPlease though, we shouldn't pretend there aren't things we cannot fix that prevent us from not being lonely.
- admissionsguy 3y agoThis sentence has too many negations even for me.
- sixothree 3y agoThere are barriers to loneliness that cannot be addressed by the individual experiencing it. And yes, it was poorly worded. It's early and I skipped caffeine this morning because of activity. Regardless, some people might not "fit in" socially because of age, skin color, income, or what have you - compared to the demographics of where they are living. There can be barriers that they simply cannot fix themselves.
- xchip 3y agoyeah, sure you cannot hang out with top models but maybe there is a space for you somewhere.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoThis is a beautiful little bit
- admissionsguy 3y ago"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member"
- Obscurity4340 3y agoYou talked me into it XD

- xchip 3y agobut surely that negative mindset is there for a good reason, it must give you something you value, otherwise you wouldn't have developed this mechanism
- ensocode 3y agogood point. if you are successful it might be the feeling that people tend to always want to get something out of you which might be exhausting and a good reason to hide. Enjoy that!
