I’ve had literally zero luck with it. Would like to find people irl that share my feelings about covid rather than having to choose between spending all my time alone or hanging out with the “why are you wearing a mask?” crowd all the time
Can’t give any advice, but I feel you, dude…it’s exhausting. Everyone in my life besides my therapist and one solitary family member (both of whom are COVID conscious) tries to pathologize my mask wearing.
haha yeah, I don’t even have my therapist. I stopped seeing him since the covid thing pretty much became the biggest issue in my life, and we don’t see eye to eye on that at all. We just avoided the topic for a while until I realized this is useless, I need to talk about covid, so I stopped seeing him.
My parents still take minimal precautions, which don’t really make me feel safe, but I guess at least they’re not completely dismissive of my concerns
Idk who you have in your area but here the anarchist types seem the most masked up.

i had the caring about rando opinions bullied out of me in school. just chill in my room unless i have to go to the grocery store
it’s not really the opinions that bother me, it’s mostly the constant being alone
I wish there was an easy route here. My wife and I are very conscious and find ourselves struggling to not only find likeminded people to safely hang out with, but also to explain to others that our concerns have never changed and our behavior is always gonna stay in line with those concerns and our comfort level.
Really really wish I had a good answer for you tho. Best I can do is remind you that you aren’t alone and that your concerns and feelings are valid.
