Zelenn Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Hello all, Being that I much prefer talking and face to face interactions rather than writing and reading walls of text, I thought I would extend an offer to the community for Skype conversations. Maybe there are others who would rather talk than type. I think that regularly engaging in philosophical conversation is highly necessary to making progress. It's all well and good to journal and listen to the the show and read RTR and such, but without interacting with like minded individuals, I can see how easy it is to become a recluse. Truth be told, I feel that the word "recluse" describes me pretty well. I find it hard to form friendships and relationships with people who, more or less, openly declare that they'd like to see me in a cage for not supporting Statism/ violence. From what I gather on the forum, I am not the only one that feels this way and I have read here that others feel their tendancy to become reclusive. The only way that I can think to combat this tendancy towards social withdrawl, is to leverage the power of Skype and connect with each other despite geography. My Skype name is limitbreak12 and I'd be more than happy to Skype with you. Send me a message and we can decide on a time to have a conversation. 2

Crallask Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 We actually have a large skype group with a smaller in group of peeps we know don't mind hanging out and talking a bit. Mostly these groups focus on the interpersonal with a lot of jokes being fired back and forth all the time. 2

I'll be sure to stop by. @ Everyone-- Ironically, the time that works best with my schedule is usually in the afternoons Eastern Standard Time. So if there's anyone else who has a kind of "mismatched schedule" don't be afraid to say "hi."

Mostly these groups focus on the interpersonal with a lot of jokes being fired back and forth all the time. I'm game for this. Walls of the text are "the devils" work when it comes to really connecting with folks. I Live in Montana, for all that is "holy", please tell me how to join this Skype group where there is fun interpersonal banter! I've been contemplating starting some sort of local meet up group to host/initiate social interaction. Smoke and the coming winter out here find me indoors a lot, which means more hands on technology. Might as well chat it up with some fun FDR folks!
