like you know you’re a good person at heart but life circumstances and trauma and bullying and etc prevented you from learning the proper social skills to find companionship. not necessarily a forum to actually find friends (i find going into things with that intention feels fake and weird), but rather a forum to commiserate and share advice and coping mechanisms and so on.
loneliness is increasing worldwide, esp in men. and it’s very easy to get into the weeds on this of course…
happy fuckin holidays
I’ve had great experiences on Slowy (https://slowly.app/) which is a modern pen-pal app. Every message takes days to arrive and you can either connect with people based on profiles or random matching and it’s one of few social networks that aren’t incel or hijacked by dating.
There’s also postcrossing.com for physical post card swapping.
Oh that sounds like fun
I would love to get local post cards and trade them with someone else far away from where I’m at
I’m on Slowly, too! I have one penpal that I’ve been writing to for several years now!
Thanks for that suggestion. Never heard of it, but it sounds like a neat concept. Gonna give it a try.
