    I totally feel this lol. People / one person, one absolute moron for the ages, were annoyed at me for actually enjoying myself during covid. (i say people because online people also expressed this nonsense and wanted the government to just let people get sick so they could go clubbing)

    During covid i discovered all the hiking routes in the city and became a lot more capable of travelling to places on my own (i was ~16 at the time).

    It’s like a new little culture war between Andrew Tate-types who go “don’t tell me what to do!” and people capable of entertaining themselves without drugs and alcohol and other people.

        True! That said, I don’t enjoy drinking alcohol alone and the principle of “don’t do drugs or alcohol unless in the company of others” is a very healthy one to live by. Hell the doctors are basically like “do as much weed as you want as long as it’s with other people :)))”

        Partying by myself…that is a real party. No pressure, all good vibes as I’m my own personal hype man esp while drunk.

      Another way I’m a little insufferable but like… yeah the pandemic and quarantine sucked, but I read a lot of books, played a lot of video games, had a great online DND game.

      Some people just seem so helpless and inept. They’d be like “I just need to see other people” and I’m like please develop some discipline.
