Well, it’s going to be a pretty miserable Christmas for me, and I’m sure for others too. I figured it would be a good idea to have some place on Lemmy (I checked the Christmas instance and the last post was 2 years ago…) where those at a loose end could at least have each other for company throughout the Christmas period. Any ideas on how to make this happen appreciated!

    I’m Asian so living with family is the norm… (I’m a young adult, think lile college age, but I’m dealing with depression so college plans are on pause)

    But idk, I remember I had fun times with my mother when I was just a kid. Now… idk…

    So much depression from both trauma within the family, and trauma from outside (school… xenophobia/racism and bullying, and also political instability)

    I’m not alone, but I’m lonely.

    I have a older brother, but something happened years ago and we don’t vibe anymore. (sibling abuse, fighting…)

    I don’t really have friends, I’m not good at keeping friends… so… yeah…

    Not alone, just lonely.

    I have a cat, but I’m not a good owner, so my cat is kinda indifferent towards me, it’s my fault for not being in a good enough mental state to play with my cat. I kinda messed up this timeline, I wish I could go back to re-do it.

      A cat’s mental state leans towards indifference naturally, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a bad owner. If it doesn’t mind being around you, and it can be relaxed in the same room, that’s a good sign it considers you a friend. Although if you can sometimes muster up a few minutes of play, that might be good for both of you.
