[quote=Anonymous]I just think this loneliness/lack of community has been building for a long time, long before the pandemic. The pandemic made it worse of course, but people are just increasingly self-focused while at the same time feeling judged/compared to others, all thanks to social media. People feel like they are failing or doing something wrong when they are not, just some fake influencers are acting like they have it all when they don't. This is the HGTV effect, the Pinterest cooking/birthday party effect, the "look at me I have three kids and am still the height of fashion" effect. Its fake, ITS NOT REAL and yet it puts this incredible pressure on women to be ALL THESE THINGS or else THEY SUCK.

It takes a crazy and I mean crazy amount of willpower to try to ignore this. I am so grateful to my spouse for having so much more clarity on this than I do. He is the one constantly telling me "We are fine, our house is fine, our kids are fine, our ugly kitchen that is 100% functional IS FINE."

Godspeed ladies because I don't see it improving any time soon.[/quote]
