[causticus]

General discussion thread for how to deal with the loneliness issues that tend to creep up as one advances further down this path. The usual etiquette of Ecosphian discussions apply here.

I've said something on your post up on the other blog.

That being said I've had some experiences with trying to find some kind of belonging with others and it ended in drama and a whole ton of bs. There's some good groups out there but honestly sometimes it's just best to become a hermit of some kind and remain anonymous.

Yeah. I avoid most groups now, as I've had one bad experience after another. Even in the groups that aren't ideologically-infected, there still is lots of drama and overall immaturity.

Indeed. Getting off social media, keeping the accounts up has been hard but it's places like these and JMG's other ecosophia blog that i find some kind of solace and break a sort of habit.
