@atomicpoet i initially installed GOG specifically for the old Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade adventure game. i am exploring other titles as the mood arises.
For me there are a few people who are usually equalizing, and I can just be around them, so I won't count that. But generally, I find about 3 times a week, I'm game for socializing. A day in between to rest is usually nice, but the larger the gathering or if we go somewhere particularly noisy or I'm meeting new people that involves more effort, and my social battery empties sooner. I'm very curious where everyone else falls on this!
@RickiTarr i have about 2 times a week for maybe a couple hours at a time with large group socializing in me. after that, i need a lot alone time to recoup. being with the wife and kids helps a lot, but alone time is the solution for me.
From now on in my whole objective is to retrain my brain to empty all anxiety and to be happy.
I just want to stop worrying and to focus on the NOW. What is important NOW this moment. Not yesterday not even tomorrow!
Really focus on today 😌
Any tips welcome to make us all happy welcome 🙏🏿

@gdinwiddie@Jaden3 same. After 24 of my own, I don't have an entirely sure way to be happy other what you've mentioned already. As soon as you see who you are and appreciate it, you'll start the path to happiness
We added a beagle mix rescue puppy to our family yesterday (someone left 6 puppies on the side of a road in a box marked “free puppies” 😢) and he’s a sweet guy.
Please help out dog rescues/rescue dogs if you can. So many need help. And excuse me if I’m here a lot less for awhile.
This ongoing matrix issue has made me realize I need to move my tea sense system off it as a notification and back onto something like a private message via my Sharkey instance
Y'all want to hear a fact that really changed the way I thought about homelessness?
Half of all homeless people were in the foster system at some point. Social Workers often call the foster system The Highway to Homelessness. If you ever had a point in your life where you had to live with friends or family to for a short time to get back on your feet, remember that is a privilege that not everyone had.
@RickiTarr there was a point in my life I was "flirting" with such a disaster. The only thing that saved me was the privilege of having resources available to prevent it
@mentallyalex i employed the "i'm a tall man who looks scary" face once. the problem is the person was silly and i couldn't help laughing. next time, i'm doing the "look scared and run off" tactic. it sound fun.
