  • Do you have platonic friends? Humans need a community to be a part of, so if you don’t have one you should start by finding one. Recognize that companionship comes in many different forms, not just romantically. Just because you have hit pause on pursuing romance, doesn’t mean you should become a total hermit (unless that will make you happy, which it sounds like it wouldn’t).

    Find people with similar interests and hobbies you can connect over. Show up to places consistently so you can start to know the people who are doing the same things you are at the same time you do them.





  • That sounds like either a terrible work environment or depression.

    I absolutely hated my first summer job in high school. Because of that, I found myself avoiding doing things I loved, because they made the time go faster which meant it was time to return to work that much faster. Once I quit, and for all other jobs I’ve had since then, I’ve never felt like that again. If you generally enjoy your job, I’d probably look into if you might be experiencing depression instead.

    Hobbies and regular vacations are things that should give you energy for those more stressful times at work. Especially, regular physical hobbies are important for stress relief and staying energized. I had to take a 3 month break from my hobby sport earlier this year due to an injury and I absolutely felt terrible during that time.
