How often do you receive pushback from friends over still taking the pandemic seriously? Is anyone who pushes back worth keeping as a friend? What exactly does your kind of socializing look like during this pandemic (i.e. virtual and/or outdoors and/or in indoor private settings)?
I'm trying to get back out there because I've been in a bad spot mentally and have found it hard to trust people more broadly, but the way I'm currently living is probably not healthy for me, and I feel like I do need some kind of support system beyond my family and the one friend actually still taking the pandemic as seriously as me. But as I try to get out of my house more, I need to figure out the kind of boundaries I want to set, the kinds of activities that I feel comfortable with (definitely a preference for outdoor stuff), etc.
Yes. FNB kicks fuckin' ass. DO IT!!! I was involved with a local chapter for a while before the pandemic, and then for a little while during but people kinda went off and did their own things and it fell apart again. I've been in a community farming group the whole time though, and that's cool. Growing and sharing fresh produce rather than fully cooked/prepared stuff, but still along the same lines.
