I also think when you get older, just in general, you start to feel outpaced by things going on around you and it compels you to draw inward and focus on the easiest path ahead (work, survival n such) rather than building relationships because time starts to feel like it's fleeting and you don't want to waste it by the relationship not working out. That would make you feel like you wasted valuable time. Catch-22's all through life haha
Dang. This makes sense, and I can feel a lot of these same instincts in myself. Sounds like you have a pretty keen eye to your own situation and how / why you arrived there. What now?

I just assume since we're all the same species that went through the same thing on a grand scale, that a majority of us went through and are still going through the effects of that. I've been told I am very self aware but I think it's mainly allowing myself to be honest about it that keeps the clouds out of my eyes haha. As for what now though, at least for myself, I'm going to keep pushing myself to communicate with everyone I can and very recently a few work friends and myself are forcing ourselves to check in on each other at times besides work, so that feels nice to know we care. So, how are holding up? Are things getting better since COVID ?
