Just back from Dublin and "pub culture" there is honestly really refreshing and laudable. Crowds were multigenerational, everyone was talking and (cliche coming) "no one was on their phone"
Nothing has improved my social well-being quite as much as making turning my local arthouse movie theater into my functional living room (and also becoming a regular at the pizzeria across the street). I am friendly, if not friends, with all the staff, and there is a constant rotation of volunteers giving chances to meet new people each time I go. Went 200 times last year, and may well match that number this year!
Great post! I agree that social media is making us less social- the illusion of friendship versus real friendship. I hope we can bring back complimenting strangers shoes!

Great post!
As I read this I couldn’t help but think about how much I love it when people cancel plans with me.
