    Try living in town and not a suburb. That’s what I’m talking about. Not just walking in neighborhood streets, but actual thoroughfares with no sidewalks. Or maybe just imagine you don’t have all the information about the whole world and your experience isn’t indicative of everyone else’s.

    It may not be feasible to walk to houses in all neighborhoods. We don’t have sidewalks and to get from one street to the next would require crossing pretty heavily trafficked roads. Trunk or treat can be a safe alternative to that.

    Your comment reeks of boomerism “back in my day”. Let people do what they gonna do if it’s not hurting anyone else.














  • Organized hobbies have been the key for me. Gives me a place to go, forces me to be minimally social, but can allow for multiple events so the pressure is reduced to make the most of every outing. Plus you have something else you’re enjoying. Everyone’s recommendations of sports or gaming falls right in line with this. But I have other hobbies I love like woodworking that I can find places to take classes and meet people. The other benefit is the more you do it the more you get used to be out among people again and it can be less awkward/anxiety inducing.
