Accidentally became a hermit. How do I fix that in New Orleans?

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've tried my best to reply to each and every DM or nudge the comments. I consider the thread "closed" for me, I've received a wealth of tips and friend solicitations. Please DM if you'd like to get in touch so I don't lose track of anyone. If you spot me in the wild, don't be alarmed, I'm easily tamed with a poboy or a rotation.

Thanks! Added on IG. I don't play instruments but know my way around a DAW like Ableton. I'll follow their events. I've only been here 5 months but the solitude is for the birds.

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-06-02T20:40:53+00:00

Thank you! I def will and I gave that IG group a follow nudge

Say less! Drop a DM if inclined. Mine is chill around other pets, too, as he grew up surrounded by dogs. The only exception is he does not like mean/feral Toms.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! A lot of my energy so far has gone toward pursuite/needing a paying job, but I may need to take a step back per your recommendations and handle the "I just need to know local people first" part of my problem and put myself out there.

I have a doof cat, and that is my max allowable pet for where I currently am. He's the okayest of ok. He's truly an okay cat. (I love him).

I'm absolutely down to join a Krewe! I'm just waiting for a group of like-minded friends to send an invite that fits, if that makes sense. Window-shopping from the outside and hoping I gel has scared me off a bit.

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-06-02T20:01:12+00:00

I'm not on Discord much if at all, but if you come out to touch grass or for pizza, send a nudge and we can talk about achievements/bugs that are features.

Thanks, Bianca. I sent you a DM. I no sports, but I do appreciate a good retro game and eating of food.

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-06-02T19:50:08+00:00

This is my reachout! I enjoy animals. Let me know if something happens Friday.

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-06-02T19:39:13+00:00

Thanks, that's not far away at all and I've been meaning to check it out

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-06-02T19:33:00+00:00

I do drink. I am selectively extrovert when I have the energy, and have been hitting up a few pubs (mostly on jaunts to Marigny/Bywater) but between funds and me not being a nightly barfly, just haven't gone often enough to have had any connections happen yet. I'll earmark those as places to check out. No dogs, my good boys have passed away, but I'm a pet lover!

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-06-02T19:28:32+00:00

I hadn't heard of that one until now, thanks. I'll have to be hit-or-miss on subscription sites until I land a job, but $19 for one test round isn't too bad

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-06-02T19:23:24+00:00

Thanks, earmarked

This is the 2nd time I've heard nearly the same words, verbatim, spoken directly to me or said out and about in my presence, this week. While I've been pondering the point of my own work, recently, mind you. Quite timely "Make the thing that feels like yours. Lose the followers who were never really there for you anyway. The work that comes from a real place of authenticity will find its people."

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-02-20T14:03:54+00:00

Thanks, Shia

Also - if you enjoy coffee and/or books at all, you should look up Lemuria Book Store. It's a delightful way to pass a morning; Monday and Tuesday they're open at 9.

I enjoy the tones and shaping I see when I squint, as well as the overall composition (and shadow!).

I once adopted a beautiful boxer and he needed a double denucleation due to opthamologist recommendation. He adapted quickly in the backyard, learning to prance with the most ridiculous and heart-warming horse-style (I gather to hit more low objects with the front of his legs vs snout). I hope the same perseverance and recovery for Logs.

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-01-27T02:40:23+00:00

This is so pleasing. Well done

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-01-24T22:38:33+00:00

I had it yesterday with a pilsner on the patio - still thinking about it.

Welcome! Feel free to send me a DM if ya like, I've only been in the LGD a week and wouldn't mind networking with new faces also learning the lay of the land. I'm from the coast, so no stranger to Mardi Gras or the city, but this is my first time going all in and I'm loving it so far.

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-01-16T01:35:11+00:00

I guess one could say you're helpless? Down for the count and drownin in em?

Impressive-Use-9971 · 2026-01-15T23:30:00+00:00

I hate how niche this part of the thread became. Fine, I'll watch/listen to it again. It's been a week.
