    Society, community… these are abstract terms. You cannot talk to them. The cannot love you.

    Life happens when you meet people (not abstractions).

      Well then, I guess if I were to rephrase the question, I’d ask:

      Where are some places or contexts where you can find a group of 5-30 people who meet regularly, generally feel connected to one another, and won’t spend the whole time staring at their phones?

        How about hobbies? If everyone in the group is passionate about fishing, knitting, model airplanes, flower bouquets, wood working, painting or something like that, you’ll have plenty to talk about. If you talk to people, and get to know them a little better, you’ll suddenly begin to feel more connected.

      How does this codswallop have eight upvotes? OP asked a perfectly reasonable question and this is word salad.

      Neo, you dingus.

        Codswallop, dingus… these are abstract terms. You cannot argue with them. They cannot hate you.

        Disagreements on the Internet happen when you argue with people (not abstractions).
