It’s tough because I’m a leftist, I love this forum, and I work hard to be a good person and practice good praxis, but I’m also 28 and don’t go out. Watching Y’all make fun of people for being socially inept or calling people hermits really hurts.
Fellow almost 30 and 30-something boomers 🤝 Not going out
There’s nothing wrong with being a social hermit and not wanting to go out places like clubs and bars with other people. I certainly don’t. But let’s not normalize and reinforce people only ever staying indoors. We all need fresh air. Go for a walk in the park. It will do wonders for your mental and physical health. You need fresh air and vitamin D from sunlight. We have to be realistic about this in that there’s a difference between ‘shaming’ and being healthy. I don’t ‘shame’ people for being obese either, but normalizing obesity as if it’s cool and healthy is just plain dangerous and wrong. Likewise, never going outside is dangerous and unhealthy.
