Connection in Book 1

Why do things seem to be so hard lately? Not just for me but for everyone?

Everyone's suffering from anxiety.. loneliness.. whatever else.. seems like there's some kind of epidemic going on.. and it seems like reaching out to others is the most difficult thing 

Personally, I have someone in my life that I have a great connection with, something I've never experienced before, we both acknowledge that when we don't talk to each other, the day is worse and our anxiety is worse, yet we still can't get it together because.. reasons? Why is it so hard to connect on any emotional level?

I know at least two people, maybe three, on stress leave.. 

Another person who was stuck in her situation but just can't seem to leave it no matter how bad she wants to.

Another one whose family is such a mess she had to give up her job

And if the entries on this website are any indication, I don't think my experience is anything out of the ordinary...

It seems like ever since covid, or something, it seems like we are missing a step or something.

It shouldn't be this hard to connect with people, to ask for help, to say hey I'm struggling, can you help me carry this? Everyone just goes back to their perspective corners and tries to ignore or solve their own problems. But that's hard, and it's stressful..

I don't know... Just seems like there's so many people I know struggling..
