Hi, I'm Lori. New here...and just wondering if I'm the only one struggling with the social isolation of holding views outside of the mainstream? How have you found connection? Ever since covid, and my refusal to get the shot, I became the outsider. Very liberal family and friends. Very liberal workplace. I'm "that girl" in these spaces. So I don't speak freely. I sometimes try to challenge with questions...doesn't really work. My world view has been upended in every way, and I consider that a good thing. I'm grateful for covid, in that it woke me up on a level that is beyond what I would have ever imagined. But it's A LOT for one person to cope with such major changes, and it's taken me into territory I had previously refused to touch - like freaking aliens. I've always said that I'm not so arrogant to believe that we're alone, but coming up against information that makes that look just completely undeniable? WTF?? It's just a lot. Ya know?
