I moved for a job that I found entirely agreeable, and after a year I still have no strong ties as a 28 y/o man. No prospects of friendship, not to mention a relationship. Participating in local boards, playing fiddle music weekly with a community group, and actively participating in my workplace’s social scene.

Beginning to come to terms with the fact that the only option I have is to move to a place where I can grow emotionally and find people that I belong with, since that’s obviously not happening here. This is a shame, since my work aligns with prime ESG metrics and although it doesn’t pay well, I have a five minute commute and access to trails, nature, camping, hunting etc. which I thoroughly take advantage of..

This is an enormous public health crisis. I feel it from the center of my being.
