I spend a lot of time being busy in place of meeting people. Things to learn and projects to do. I picked up instruments, crafts, etc.
I've got a weekend and a few days in my new apartment with no Internet access outside of my phone. Without such a close connection to online communities and ease of information it becomes so much more obvious that it's really only family calling.
I know we can't hinge our happiness on what others think of us or control who comes into our life and when. I know some people turn to things like alcohol which I'm grateful to not struggle with. Somehow it highlights a lack I thought I'd filled.
Do you have coping methods and think it's healthy or just a distraction? I wonder if there are a lot of people feeling this way when they look at themselves and others, then back to their phones.
