For us, the final divide was 2020 and the responses people had to friendship and interpersonal relationships due to Covid fear. We had to walk away from many "friends" and several family. We are old now and the old become invisible in society. We are glad to be invisible. I was always loyal to a fault, but when friendship was betrayed I would walk away and basically erase that person in my mind. It becomes Live and Let Die.

I “pulled the shutters down” on my NPC brothers in late 2021. My only regret is I didn’t do it 20 years ago.

I hear you. I've always been like that. In a sense if a relationship isn't developing, it's dying for me.

I am a kinda lone wolf and find it not very up my ally to mix with too many people and even then i always leave the back door open if you get my meaning .

I'm a bit like that too Richard. But life is there to be around people, books, your family, your pets do things you like. And never be afraid to meet new people.

Walking away is one of the greatest lessons, Steve and I have walked and not looked back over many years, we keep the song in our hearts it's the only way.

Time is precious why waste a moment with someone or something near death experiences early in our lives has taught us a lot that some how prepared us for these times.

Thank goodness for the tribe

The covid fears brought a lot of disharmony but we worked it out within our family. Keeping my parents alive was my priority and mother in law. Unfortunately my mother in law died in hospital. There was something different about the covid I feel it was made in a lab, and there was an intelligence to it. Certain people being susceptible. Just don't be frightened or let it ruin friendships. It's not worth it.

Internet is full of paid antipagan operatives who lovebomb you til they achieve their goal then get paid. Its all fake. They have hundreds of bots and specialists and followers but your followers all disappear. Many in both your tribes are intel. Its the antipagan fake pagans spoiling it for everyone.
