You're the bait with which you're fishing.
COnsider this as a confession, no need to up/down vote.
I got lonely/depressed in 2020 and started a hiking group. It was a cool experiment that failed. I was not able to monetize or scale it. I was bummed for awhile, but upon further reflection I examine the Pareto 80/20 in action. Because I started this group I met some amazing people that love adventure and plan/invite me to their adventures. I also met a very good friend who is focused on business/start up life. So my life has improved a lot even though the outcome was not what I was hoping for.
I'm still on the journey to understand and operate in my zone of genius. Though I think money is important (to the extent that bills are paid and 9-5 can be avoided) I value experiences and creating impact.

I'm not trying to use satire. My attempts at building community in a busy and fragmented world. :)
Friendship isn't an all or nothing proposition. You don't have to be perfectly aligned with another persons' morals and values to be friends with them. Sometimes just having one or two things in common is what is needed to keep those bonds going.
What my "friends" care: Money, more money, more money.
That's why i'm still lonely.
