I agree with a lot of what you said. But I'll address things point by point.
I have friends and family I spend time with. But when I say I'm lonely, it's the kind that can't be filled by friends and family. Additionally, all my friends and family are just as exhausted with the state of things. So our time isn't quality time because damn near everyone is financially stretched, social energy depleted, and working none stop to keep a roof over our heads.
Yes, I'm active and all that jazz. If I spend anymore time at the state parks they'll probably name one after me.
My main issue is the commoditficaion of everything. Even dating seems to be more about money then actually getting to know the person across from you. (Yes not all women) I've date several different kinds of women (bbw, curvy, nonconventionally attractive women, and trans women) and the main issue is we both were more trauma bounding because of the grind and not actually getting to know each other.
Absolutely, on putting the mask on yourself first. But as a Black American the everyday barriers leaves very little left after to heal and grow.
