Before Covid, I was finally starting to get my social life together, I had a group of people I could hang out relatively regularly, close enough to my age. We would go out on the weekends, have a few drinks, talk, maybe go dancing or something.
Post pandemic everything is drastically different. Suddenly, no one can organize. If someone tries to get a group together, everyone flakes last minute. Certain people don’t like each other anymore, and in general people feel more antagonistic, myself included at times.
I used to go out by myself a lot too. It used to be fun. I could go out and by the end of the night I would meet cool people, have some interesting conversations, maybe fuck around and hop bars all night Now, no one talks to me, people seem less… amicable and going out by myself now means “sit and drink for hours because it’s still better than sitting around at home doing basically nothing”.
Hanging out hasn’t really been fun since Covid.
