There's a difference between being alone, and being lonely. Sometimes gender, both as experienced and as perceived can affect what opportunities we have to be social and what it looks like when we do. Tonight we are going to chat about how to find (or make) those opportunities and reduce isolation. Some questions to consider:
What are times when you are surrounded by people but still feel lonely?
How much social interaction do you need to thrive, and what does that look like?
What are some things people do (or you wish they did) that make you feel included?
How do you know when you are a welcome part of a group?
The silly question will be: "Without explanation, what's your favorite nickname?"
