    I’m fairly sure that this next economic crisis we are in, makes getting a girlfriend, or even just a friend, borderline impossible. Not only do you have to fear and distrust everyone, you also have no time, energy, or money to actually interact with anyone.

      In times of economic crisis, friends and family are even more important. That’ll be your insurance policy without being scammed by insurance companies. People in poor countries have big families because nobody else cares for them.

      There never were “alpha wolves” in the wild. When a wolf is shunned from the group, it usually dies. The same applied to humans for most of our history, and might apply again soon.

        I’m trying to keep them alive right now, as more and more things unravel. I don’t know what else to do. If I quit for even one month: catastrophic consequences. Doing overtime right now. My goal is to stabilize my parents, and establish a normal life for myself. I hope my father will go through with his plan, otherwise I will just focus on my own goals.

      You dont get enough socializing paying rent every month? Because that is far more then enough interacting with humanity for me.

      Rent is due in 4 days by the way.
