It was brought up on my previous post that I had touched on a very critical subject. The destruction of western social life and isolation of modern westerners, especially men. How does this play out overall, what can be done, and to help this fit into this general site's theme, how has this affected gaming?

How does this play out overall? Not at all.
Just yesterday one of my neighbours attempted suicide by jumping off the bridge which resulted in her hospitalization.
What followed is entire neighbourhood coming together to devise a plan on how to take care of her cats.
Ended up adopting one of them despite being an unapologetically straight white christian working class male surrounded by women remotely working from their homes paid off by their parents.
I found nothing but support as the neighbours provided me with cat food, accessories, vet and groomer contacts as well as mass persuasion towards my landlord to not be an absolute bellend and revise my lease contract to allow pets.
Turns out the degeneracy of urban jungles and sanitized social media websites does not reflect suburbs.
Why did your neighbor attempt suicide?
The shit show started about a month ago when she was dumped by her boyfriend (2x while she was 5x).
She was practically barging into other people's houses just so she wouldn't be alone.
3 weeks ago I had to call ambulance because she lied collapse near my rental.
2 weeks ago her sister had police break into her house because of no contact, ambulance took her to hospital again.
And now she jumped off the bridge because she just couldn't take it anymore.
If there's anything I'm taking away from all this is that loneliness hurts more than lack of comfy life even though she had a paid off house by her parents.
Loneliness is a surprisingly lonesome bitch to deal with.
I know experts chock it up to how we've evolved to be "social creatures", but the actual neurological mechanisms for why such a dependency would exist is still so strange somehow. Yet even so, its effects are undeniable.
She couldn't find anyone to adopt her cats. ;)
True, true, false. Not a feminist, just a lonely old hag.
Seems to be the fate for a lot of woman who keeps riding the CC.
