I’m not trying to make a statement about the relative subjective value of each activity. I’m trying to make the point that in order to build resilience and capacity into your social life it’s important to have a diversity of connections.
If your entire social world would be brought undone by losing a job, that’s a problem.
Oh man, this is so true. I hate when people bring coworkers to hobbies, because then their work drama shows up elsewhere. I had an RPG player call me in tears because another player had fired them and they didn't feel coming to RPG night anymore. My coworkers are good for the occasional beer and that's about all I'll ever ask of them.
