Robert Gant Instagram – There is considerable conversation happening right now about the attenuation of friendships and friendship circles due, of course, to the pandemic but also to the changes in our ways of relating brought on by technology and other factors. The surgeon general warned of “an epidemic of loneliness.” So, if you’re experiencing any of that or if you discover that you’re burying yourself in work and other activities (like binging television and/or scrolling on devices) to avoid the feelings associated with it, please know that you’re not alone. And while, from that place, it can be challenging to take contrary action, the payoff may be crucial. I’ve had to take my own steps to counter this subtle but insidious shift. Please make the effort to engage and connect and find community. I hope these steps I’m suggesting might help. Much love as always. #GayLifeCoaching #Loneliness #Connection #Community #Friendship #LGBTQ #Action #BestGayLife
