        Yeah, not to disparage his hard work organising beforehand and 2 years in prison (so far), but ultimately all he did was park really badly. At most he should be getting a few points on his license.

    Where’s

    Work

    Come home too exhausted to do anything worthwhile

    Sleep

    Work

    I don’t think it falls into the first category because I really don’t give a shit about my job. I just have no energy.

      I don’t mean to be snide or clever, but it sounds like you care about your job a lot. At the very least what would happen if you did not have that job. I feel for that and it sounds like you might need to talk to someone. Could be over analyzing a small comment on the internet but your short lines of text felt… raw.

      Good luck buck.

        I think a lot of it is Long Covid, to be honest. After I had Covid I started sleeping really poorly, and I still do. I also really need to lose weight.

        As far as my job goes it’s actually pretty cushy. Of course, if I could find a way to survive without it, I’d quit in a heartbeat - as I imagine many people would.

    There’s also the “still acting like they’re 16 years old” and they’re as bad if not worse than all the other cathegories

    First I started a family and then I promptly disappeared. I still have little to no social media presence. This really the only place I’m active online.

      When the definition of “friend” is “person you hung out with in HS/College and then only ever associated with via the computer”, maybe you don’t.

      Box 4, in particular, is a really depressing rubric for friendship as it assumes a person vanishes the moment they stop providing new content on Social Media. I’ve got friends who occupy the first three quadrants simultaneously, but we still keep in touch by SMS and by actually visiting one another on a regular basis. We’re 100% logged the fuck off past that.

        Box 4, in particular, is a really depressing rubric for friendship as it assumes a person vanishes the moment they stop providing new content on Social Media.

        I just think of it as shorthand for the very real phenomenon that some people fall off the radar in every measurable way: can no longer be found in person, won’t respond to calls or texts, no online presence (even DMs/chats, or electronic invites to in-person activities). I have a few friends in that category, and it’s often something like trying to build a new life away from their past (sometimes including a new spouse and/or social circle), or even mental health issues.

        And some people really do want to live off grid in a cabin in the mountains, or backpacking, or in a faraway, low-connectivity job (at sea, or in remote wilderness, or whatever else). If they end up doing that and fall off the radar, it happens.

          Sure. But there tends to be a certain distance already baked in. Unless you have a deep bound with someone - a parent / sibling / child, typically - once you stop interacting with that person IRL, there’s less and less of an incentive to engage with them remotely.

    I’ve been a combination of all 3 my entire 30’s. Was obsessed with work, had kids. Got fat because of having said kids, got back into lifting weights, and I have almost 0 social media presence.

    I’m top-left (my job pays well, it’s engaging, and it has a positive impact on the world).

    I have some friends in a 5th category that are hyper-busy with traveling, social engagements, etc. I feel like I have to book time with them weeks in advance.

    I spent some time dabbling in all four categories during my thirties. Never really excelling in any of them.
