Single people with no kids - what do you do to pass the time and fill the gaping void? Do you feel fulfilled?
I recall feeling okay with my solitude in my 20s and felt that my life was balanced between friends, work, self-development and solitude. I didn’t even work full time but my life felt so full. I loved spiritual growth and in my quiet times it was the perfect opportunity to go within and emerge bigger and brighter… there was hope and potential and I was a lot more connected. I did a lot of work on myself and felt so strong and collected - I could self-hypnotise and achieve anything I wanted.
Now in my 30s I feel this oppressive stillness… I work and that’s all I have. Don’t feel connected anything and couldn’t care less about spiritual growth. In theory I know a good community/social circle and some hobbies would be helpful, but I don’t enjoy much anymore and find everything to be hollow or empty.

It’s really random but the only time I feel mild relief (more like the notch drops from 10 to 9) from that deep feeling of hollowness is from attending appointments like massage, acupuncture, tarot reading, walking outside, facials… lik
From a neutral view, the timing matters more than people admit which makes the reaction pretty predictable This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so This probably isn’t the last word on it. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s what makes this interesting. That’s the impression it gives me.
Honestly, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that tension shows up immediately That’s what makes this interesting. Interested to see the follow-up. That’s the impression it gives me.
Looking at this, this solves one problem while creating another and that’s what people are responding to That part stands out. Interested to see the follow-up.
On the surface, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here That’s just how it reads to me.
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that friction is hard to ignore
Real talk, this feels more about execution than intent and that tension shows up immediately
the wording alone shifts how people read this so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what makes this interesting. Time will tell.
there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which explains why reactions are split We’ll see how people react over time. That’s the impression it gives me.
the timing matters more than people admit Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
From my side, the wording alone shifts how people read this Others will probably see it differently.
Bluntly speaking, this solves one problem while creating another and that friction is hard to ignore Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s just my read on it.
Trying to be fair, the wording alone shifts how people read this which is why this is getting picked apart At least from my perspective.
Without overthinking it, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here
Just reading this, this feels like a half-step, not a full move which is why this is getting picked apart That’s what changes the context. Not convinced this is settled yet.

Trying to be fair, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Curious how this plays out.
From my side, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s where people will push back That’s the key detail here. Curious how this plays out.

I get the idea, this solves one problem while creating another and that’s where people will push back
On the surface, this feels rushed rather than thought through That’s just how it reads to me.

Looking at this, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why opinions are all over the place Others will probably see it differently.

Bluntly speaking, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that friction is hard to ignore This could age very differently in a week.
