Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
- Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

i mean, yeah.
think about what person around you feels most comfortable to approach and initiate some sort of contact with them, maybe bring them a small gift (home-cooked food is generally a good bet). Doesn't have to start big, just talk to people and try to get some sense of familiarity going. Hell just start by greeting people.
Humans are inherently social, it'll probably go better than you imagine.
Hello stranger, you look lonely and approachable, would you like some of my pocket spaghetti I made at home?
