Screenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

Thats gut-wrenching man, I'm so sorry, that's a horrifying loss

I have a sleep disorder that often leaves me very isolated in spite of my connections- feeling disconnected from anyone around you is brutal, it does rough things to your head

It doesn't help that making friends as an adult is incredibly hard. Most of my friends came from going to events in my local kink community and that has helped, but I've been trying to brainstorm more ways to feel connected to community when my sleep allows. The universalist unitarian churches seem interesting, they're essentially secular (I'm very much an atheist) and are very progressive. It might be kinda nice to pick up a hobby like martial arts or rock climbing but those cost money and I am very broke right for the time being 😅

I hope that in the not too distant future more good folks find their way into your life, isolation can take a very heavy toll 🫂
