I only glance at those shows from time to time, @chibam for, as I said, the social observation. Although, also in everyday life, I only find people like me among life's losers and I'm beginning to realize that nice guys really do finish last. But how do we change? If we do, we'd be the worst people in the world in their eyes and they'd have reason to cast greater aspersions. I don't know what the magical formula is and I've looked everywhere, too. That's why I say that I'm on this path and, try as I might, I just can't find a way off it. I'm looking for a group of losers who want to make me a truly valued member and not an underling, who want to team up and genuinely enjoy each other's company.

Oh @Historylover , I'm sorry you feel this way. Please know that everyone has strengths. Strengths are your superpower. Just because you superpower is not the same as others, it doesn't make you a loser. There is a lot in you.

Please know that people do appreciate you.

**sorry if I have intruded and over-stepped the mark. If so, I'll remove this post.

It depends on your interpretation of the word 'loser' @tyme. I'm not a loser in the conventional sense but the inability to get ahead despite my most earnest endeavours indicates that the path I am on is the only one I am allowed. It has been ever so. I go from one exploitative situation to the next. People usually love to know me...until they have all they need from me. It's repetitive and I watch it forming and building.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. So too, everybody has a different definition for the term "loser". I'm pretty sure most people view me as a loser, and to be fair, I do too, but for very different reasons. Then there are others who I silently regard as losers, but for reasons that are beyond me, others regard as winners.

These are the things we need to start to understand if we're gonna develop a nation strategy to combat loneliness. It's not about getting people to be around other people; it's about getting them around the sorts of people they admire, respect and appreciate - and those criteria will be very different for everybody.

Hear, Hear, @chibam.

@Historylover 🙂! How are you?

Sorry, I've been very remiss on connecting lately. A lot on my mind, I guess, and these hot, humid days certainly aren't helping.

I hope your doing well. 🙂

[Historylover]

I saw your comment on another's post this morning and it was good to see you in action again, @chibam. I'd been wondering how you've been getting on of late.

I'm doing alright at the moment keeping busy with one thing and another. I hope some of what you're keeping busy with has been at least mildly enjoyable. 🤔

Do you have plans for Xmas and have you finished your shopping?

[chibam]

No real special plans for Xmas, @Historylover . Although I am looking forward to Chevy Chase's National Lampoon's Xmas Vacation. It's somewhat comforting to sit down in front of the TV and spend a couple hours imagining being part of a big, wacky family like that, that's always having madcap adventures.

But yes, to answer your question, I think I'm basically all done with my shopping.

[Historylover]

@chibam🌞  I hope you have a pleasant Xmas day viewing one of your favourite shows. I'll probably be doing something similar, on my own of course, but that's fine. That's life. I finished my shopping very quickly—for one neighbour who is a sweetie. Stay well my friend and Merry Xmas!🎅

Same to you, @Historylover  🙂. Same to you.
