The need for Socialization

Since my job ended in February my social skills have slightly declined. This is one reason I am looking for employment, but there are not many places that do not require a lot of standing or heavy labor. Retail sales are out, I don't want to be subjected to the rant of an angry customer. Caregiver is a possibility except I am leery of entering a stranger's home and being under his/her domain. Plus you don't know what you are getting into working directly with the family.

I should look into where people congregate, The Senior Centers have not reopened yet. The City/County are renovating a building in town that will serve as the main center for seniors and satellite stations throughout the County.

Have you considered working in a group home? They have full and part time jobs and are staffed 24/7. You work for a company not an individual family. Different homes have different qualifications and those differ from state to state. The homes also different in their resident types.
 
I come on this site for new ideas and interesting points of view. For purely negative, dooms day news I always go to our Canadian CBC. According to them, we are all going to die from those new variants of interest, the climate change will kill all the rest who survive and that is only the beginning of their daily barge of super bad news. If that don't get you buddy, then there is the constant dose of photos showing long sticks of being shoved up the nose of some young girl. It's always girls for some reason. Yep, according to the CBC we are all doomed; no using even trying!

Just curious, but have you posted this in the wrong place? Cause, you know, the OP is looking for positive stuff. 😂
 
@Mr. Ed you can always find some positive stuff on most every social media site, the trick is learning who/what posts to avoid when you need 'uplifting' and or cheerful content. Knowing yourself well enough to know when you should avoid heavy depressing conversations and observing others well enough to know which ones tend to dwell/focus on negative views is an important life skill itself.

I came on the forum today to discuss negative thinking, but after reading everyone's post and responses you put me in a positive mood. Thank you!

Funny you should say that, Mr Ed. I was just reading your post in the Cowboy advice thread and thinking how much I like you!

I know I tend to be negative a lot (people have told me so.) I'm sorry if I've ever upset anyone.
