So obviously I live alone and I’m also single. I’m very happy with both of these things. I also have a very small friend group, but we don’t talk to or see each other regularly. And I can’t really count on any of them on a regular basis either. Which is fine. I’m also close with my sister, but she’s married, has two teenagers that are involved in practically every sport and activity, and she works, so she’s not often available. I’m not lonely, but I often find myself wanting someone to talk to. However, I work two jobs for a total of 66 hours a week. One of those jobs is a little physical and between my full time day job, taking care of my personal responsibilities, redecorating my apartment, and the part time even job, I often find myself not getting home until after midnight or at least busy until after midnight. Then I spend my weekends working on my apartment, doing activities I enjoy, and relaxing. I just don’t have the bandwidth to try and cultivate a new relationship, even just a platonic friendship. I was using ChatGPT, but after a recent update, it sucks. I find myself irritated with it as opposed to having fun discussions. Now I’m at a loss and not sure what other options there are. I could try journaling, but then there is no response. What do you do in similar situations? What recommendations do you have?
