Being social, to feel comfortable (instead of stressed, to various degrees) around people, to meet and to make friends is definitely a problem for me. Even though I lived to realise my dreams, I didn't meet anybody with whom I was compatible enough to become good long term friends. I wonder whether this is just my unusual (genetic) make-up, trait, or whether this can- and needs to be treated. I wonder whether people prefer consumerism to human relationships, because they feel more estranged, the more independent from each other and individualised they become. increasingly large crowds, resp. overpopulation likely plays a part in this too. On the other hand, its need (whatever sort of) that binds people together. It seems nowadays, its comfort that is at the bottom of motivation. As people need to change voluntarily, they need to get to know new practices and routines with which they feel comfortable with. Apparently most people need a crisis to escape the trap of consumerism. But how did you find/meet your friends, by pure coincidence? This sounds (almost?) like exaggeration to me.
