I'm very introverted. That, and a couple of health issues, resulted in me being alone during the past few years. I know it's not normal/healthy, but as weird as it sounds, I don't feel unhappy. I enjoy being alone most of the time, and during the rare moments when feel a bit lonely, standup comedy and TV sitcoms make that feeling go away.

I spend my time writing, learning to code, working on my startup, listening to audiobooks, practicing digital art. Most of the time I'm having fun and enjoying myself (when health doesn't get in a way), though having a couple of buddies would probably make my life better.

The fact that I live in russia doesn't help finding friends, I feel like all the people I'd like to talk to live in the US/UK/Canada, not here. I understand that rationally this can't be true, but I really have no idea where to search for people I'd have a lot in common with. I like people on hacker news and reddit, I like people who's blogs and books I read, I like people who's youtube channels I watch, but I've never met anyone like that in "real life".

I could put myself out there and go to meetups or courses until I find someone I like, but the combination of introversion and the fact that my life is kinda nice as it is, makes it feel like it's not worth the effort. Also I really hope that I'll find a way to move elsewhere, so it's not like I'll build lasting relationships here.

Maybe one day I'll move to NYC and end up getting my social life on point, but meanwhile, my projects and the internet keep me pretty happy and satisfied.
