I pretty much live in a box (apt no land). Always on the computer. I work a lot/work on projects. But then I hit that point where I can't do logical things/can't write more code. I can switch to physical projects or go to the park. But I really have been isolated from people I think since 2014 or so. I had a roommate for a few years after that then he moved out. I briefly worked jobs where you interacted with people day to day that helps with comradery.
Lately though I'm getting tired of the scrolling/point driven life. I still can't make the jump yet (get property so I can spend most of my free time outside). Still social media is nice to pass the time and along with YT/TV, to fill that social void. In the past I've found it weird to be around people like I don't know what is normal and usually can't stand the slowness of the moment. Then it's super weird when you're in a crowded place ha (usually freaks me out).
This is why when the internet dies I can't stand it... I remember my life how it's constantly using the internet to be in that state of motion. I'm not saying internet bad. Idk I'm like 3/10 of the way through life so far, I gotta see what is considered worth still.
I definitely agree that getting a property is a good idea. I feel much better and it's easier to stay away from news & social media whenever I go to countryside, where I have lots of free space and things to do outside. In an apartment there are only so many things one can do, and too many screens nearby, especially for a remote-worker like me.
Maybe urban life works for some people, but it definitely causes boredom to me, and social media & news are a distraction from that.
