   doing a new thread for this for being totally OT: i think deep down i just am sad that i don't have close RL friends anymore. i know some new people by now who seem to be nice but i wouldn't call them my friends. maybe it's midlife crisis or something.

   or maybe the shitty psyops really did work. the "pandemic" really did make me pretty careful what i say to people i know: i already was in a not ao great place, seeing people i thought i know breaking contact with their parents over vaccination status really fucked me up. i now expect that if some "law" says put people in camps for disagreeing with current thing, 80% of the population will do it happily. even, maybe especially, your own family and friends.

     i had some pretty good friends in my childhood and teens, but they all kind of went on to live their lives.

     like i wrote, i have made some nice acquaintances in the last years, but they aren't friends i'd trust. i have family, but people related to you aren't the same as friends and some of them i wouldn't really trust as well.

     i can't really say i can imagine how it is in a country like yours. i already have trust issues in my country.

     i wholeheartedly agree to being polite and friendly to others. it's much nicer for everyone, including one's own mood!

     @bonifartius I cannot say I'm not satisfied with virtual communication. I really like it. it takes no extra time. and I worked remotely a long before the covid hoax.
     but I can say that I rarely could name those people I knew friends. friend is something more than just an acquaintance. and perhaps I have never had real friends in my life. maybe back in early childhood. now I cannot rely on anybody I ever knew. and thus I used to be independent and to take care of all problems myself. I barely have time for RL friendship now, I think. but I try to be polite and friendly to people because I know how much shit they went through in this country and the fact they're alive is alreasy an achievement that is worth respect. being calm and peaceful makes life a little easier for others.

     @bonifartius I has seen all kinds of betrayal, even the worst cases. so it's not generally a good idea to trust anybody, after such an experience. I don't trust people whatever they say. and people over here are living hard life so they aren't very open and/or easy going. relarives sometimes kill each other for living space, houses and flats. because it's something not everyone can earn in his life due to too high prices for real estate. in some families people have long lasting cold war between members. I was lucky and our family was relarively friendly and we hadm't any conflicts for money/inheritance, etc. but this is quite common problem.
