So what? What’s wrong with dying alone
nothing is wrong with it, and a lot of people die alone whether they had a loving marriage or not.

BUT in these times it seems to be a rare individual that has nieces/nephews//younger cousins visiting and checking in on them in their twilight years. if they didn't have kids who they raised halfway decently who would look out for them. it's all good to think you'll be independent and content in your 40-50's but try telling your 60-80 year old self that :hubie:. that's 20+years of discontent and regret a large portion of your life in the grand scheme of things.

it just seems like society ain't set up right now to be kind to the elderly. that if your retirement ain't set up very well your going to struggle, and basic human interaction would help tremendously in getting through the day to day

I have/had family members who were elderly get taken care of in a very involved way kids or no kids (in no kids situation by nieces/nephews) I fear for those individuals who don't have close familial bonds

This is what happens. The cycle will never end. Best you can do live your life to the fullest. I’d you have circle of friends, keep in touch with them as much as you can.
Bars. Don't ask me how :wow:

Too serious of a conversation for thecoli
fakkit nikka contrarian already posted up in here
And all you nikkas are alpha male playboys
Or a woman will come in here to tell a man how to be a man
When she don’t even know the first thing about womanhood
OG just speaking facts on our mental health and positions we put ourselves in life
Men rarely have a network
That’s why its imperative to cultivate relationships in your younger years and do your best to reach out
It’s easy to hide behind “everybody got problems”
It was a thread on here about that
I reread my post and reached out to all my brothers from other mothers on the west coast
And had all productive conversations
And I told them I loved them, no pause
It’s okay to reach out, put that pride/ego out
You never know who just needs a familiar voice
Dap and rep

Research says people with more human connections live longer.
too much loneliness leads to mental illness. Now you can be single and still interact with folks. Have friends hang out and kick it. Bring them by and entertain them. This is especially good for folks who can only stomach so much human engagement.

plus if you believe the evolution angle much of it was built around running in groups naturally as it was easier to defend against other groups and provided structural order.
