“The better strategy is to get some more communities!”
Does this really work for most people?
I think my life over the past year or so has been substantially enriched as I’ve gone from seeing my rationalist group friends in my city from once a month or so to 1-2 times a week, but at the same time, as a reasonably introverted and Aspie person, who also has a three month old who always wants to be carried, this has close to maxed out my social meter. I don’t think normal people can maintain having more than one or two real space communities that they are really deeply involved in.
Though, I do have a group of friends outside of the rationalist group, and I’m connected through my wife to other communities, so I suppose I’m not failing to follow your advice of having other social groups.
