Wow i really liked it and you're so right about that how convenient it is to stay alone. I myself order groceries even when store is literally 70m away. Like I'm avoiding the hassle of walking down & communication. It's isolating and bad for physical health too.

So i also joined the library because i was unable to focus in my room since i went for just 2 days, i felt so nervous & extra conscious of existence all the time. Since it's library to I don't have lot's of communication opportunities but i liked when i decided to go out and join something. I have been isolating myself for so long now that steping out feels difficult. Maintaining consistentcy is super difficult for me.

So i think this essay was wonderful because a lot's of us are feeling this way. You talking about badminton & the community also made me remember my time as kids, we used to play badminton in street & used to play cricket. Badminton is so fun, I always blame the airflow whenever i really suck at it😂.

I'm not good at all but it's so fun.

I think your this experience was really fun & very 90s sitcom coded where people be just hanging out then randomly decide to pack bags & hike out. Impromptu but with fun.
