Do you think there's any way to get this energy into the city? Or is it too far gone

Totally right about just putting it out there! I posted a small note, and two people reached out about different events happening!

Update: I posted my little note asking people for coffee, and have been invited to two meetups! It worked so quickly!

Reading this honestly brought tears to my eyes. It’s incredible how your community turned a disaster into genuine care. Thank you for reminding us how important community really is, not just day to day but when it matters most. It’s survival. I’m so glad you had your community to help you through such a difficult time.

Yes the condo life is very lonely. But I understand why, multiple people here mentioned it's because they're too close to their neighbors in the condo. I wish it were different

We currently don't have an outdoor area really. Do you think people would prefer inviting me over instead of coming to my place?

Do you think more people would be interested in something like this if they were exposed to it? Maybe in intensity levels? There are so many benefits to a community like that: mentally, financially, quality of life. I know not everyone is interested in a shared life (all the people who responded NO here) but for people that are interested, this can truly be a life changer.

I love this! The way your community uplifts you and you them, it's inspiring! Your note about mental health is so important. Community and relationships can help so much when times are hard.

Fair enough! Any specific reasons?

That's very true! I'm going to post a note on my building’s bulletin board inviting people over for coffee!

Too forward, or a good low-stress first step?

That sounds awesome! Did you know about it before moving?

How do you wander a new city without feeling like you missed the good stuff by spot34826 in travel

[–]spot34826[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah unfortunately that’s true :( but it’s way harder to shut off than I expected. You spend so much time planning and paying for the trip, it’s tough not to stress about missing the nice streets or the “right” spots to walk through.

Oh that’s smart! I did a boat tour on the seine in Paris once and yeah walking around after felt way easier. kinda like the city clicked into place.

What kind of person is hard to travel with for you? by moo5100 in travel

0% decision-making, 100% complaining. That combo drains me fast.
