That's a good question. It was really just fine. The people were really kind, we shared a bunch of food and conversation. I just felt very out of place. I didn't feel like I could relate at all. The friends are a couple of other off grid living folks. And while it seems like that would give us things I common, it really feel that way for me. But there was really nothing bad happening. I have been going through some really big changes in my life for many years now. Changes that have pulled me away from my old family and friends. Changes that have really isolated me all together. And I think I have a lot of work to do to open back up to people and realize I can connect without feeling seen. I am glad you asked this question because it helps me consider the fact that it was a perfectly good day. I just feel very strange around other people. And that is something for me to look at. No one is ever going to resonate with me fully so I think if I want community back in my life, I have some work to do on opening back up. Thanks for asking.

This sounds very familiar. I asked because I wanted to confirm my guess :)

That's good to hear. It feels really good to relate in any kind of way. And I want to appreciate it where I can find it. And maybe learn to be more adaptable.

connect without feeling seen
That is a hard lesson for sure, I struggle there, too, but it is possible. Especially when you think of humanity as one, one big connection
