engage. radically listen. remember details and ask about them later. how do you find this audience? check out community meetups online or at libraries or advertised in game shops or coffee shops. start by asking someone a question, then offer info… give and take. make jokes. laugh at theirs.

I got it before the pandemic shut down. in February of 2020. I was working in a high contact environment with high risk. I ended up sick, then sicker, then my whole team was sick, and out of work. we were told to do training as wfh and we’d be back when we felt better. it felt like that wasn’t coming. I got sicker and bedridden, my dr prescribed a steroid inhaler and wasn’t sure what it was. then sent out some labs and said ‘inconclusive’. i stayed sick. moving from the bed into the attached bathroom and back was a 4 steo with breaks sitting on the floor process. i lost my job. i went on unemployment. it was another half of a month before I went back to the doctor. Covid. and they had no options for me but to wait it out. it wasnt bad enough.
i would also like to know a place to chat on this
I like to talk to a room. i.e. i watch social cues to find an “in” then i try to start a public conversation?
