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.

I know it's a small consolation, but just remember that propaganda works and these people, the people we care about, that we see doing absolutely dumb shit are swimming in a sea of lies 24/7 that are encouraging their disregard for themselves and others. It's a small miracle you and i were even lucky enough to make it here. The chains of Capitalism may be more mental than physical in our society, but we're gonna free them one way or another.:fidel-salute:
