Humans evolved as a social species. Also, find some ways to chill in nature wherever you can. Humans didn’t evolve in a concrete and plastic environment.

minus-squareChahk@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoI think you mean “isolation”. Individualism had nothing to do with being alone or not making friends. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/individualism
minus-squareRefurbished Refurbisher@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-27 months agoYes, but I used the term individualism on purpose.
