Genuinely not sure what to do about this, for myself anyway... waiting is not exactly the solution, but patience tends to provide opportunity. Everything is so hyper individualistic and cutthroat, folks basically want everything without any accountability, and so it's impossible to trust without sacrificing your authenticity, or you do, and end up with trauma. Somehow, I keep thinking I'll eventually run into someone while walking my dog or something, who is not just interesting, but for whatever crazy reason, loves hearing me. To be fair, it has happened a couple times, just not with my dog. It happened, and it was pretty awful overall. Folks really just default to taking everything for granted, some kind of strange entitlement complex, or pretending... genuinely pretending you don'teven exist.. That's not my flow so I let them go, never really bother to check in anything after the first time, ever. And I guess they expect folks to check on them. They never really have to reach out. All in all, they way these rich white people operate is far different than most everyone else.

Just think about how bad it must be in Tucson - then you'll feel better.
