T R Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Recent episode inspired me to make a more active search to find folks I truly can connect with. Also it has help me to reexamine how lonely I often feel. I'm not sure I ever met anyone who I could have an actual conversation with, so the entire idea actually feels a little intimidating.

Man I know the feeling, before FDR I felt lost and confused, like I was an alien species or something. Now I know how true that is lol. And if you've had similar experience in trying to talk about shit that matters the intimidation is natural, I have difficulty trusting others enough to be open about my thoughts/feelings after being mocked for "taking things too seriously" among other types of humiliation or put downs. I would think it's even worse way up north where you are just because the less people there are the smaller the chance that you'll run into someone remotely rational. I've thought about moving up north myself due to my hate for hot/humid climates (probably around Colorado/Oregon/Washington) but from what I've seen it seems a lot of FDR members are located around Texas or in really large cities. Anyway good luck with the search, I'm still in the process of getting my life in order so I'm behind you at the moment.
T R Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 We actually just moved here from northern California, the economy is better and the political climate is improved. I'm not sure if there is an "ideal" place for us at the moment. The move was primarily practical and only partially to help me feel "less hopeless." There are half a million folks in the Boise/Nampa area and was hoping at least one was an FDR listener. I sincerely hope your search for companionship proves fruitful.
