It also doesn't help that once you leave a prison facility, you have a greater risk of encountering hostility and ignorance in the general public. And depending on the crime, you'll wind up hunted if what you were sent in for is found out. Plus loud Karens... ugh
I think about this a lot. I've never been to prison, but I felt something very similar to this when I moved cities after high school. I didn't have those friends of convenience anymore, & my job isn't structured in a way that I socialize a lot with my coworkers on the clock. It wasn't until I got into a social hobby (rock climbing) that I started having friends & socializing again. I hear very similar sentiments from my peers & siblings (mostly early to mid 20s). Without the structure of school, it becomes much harder to begin & maintain friendships. A lot of us don't really know how to do it, & the friendships of convenience can feel very shallow. It can feel very isolating, which feeds into the epidemic of loneliness you mentioned.
You're right that other major changes in circumstances and community create a similar upheaval in our relationships. We're starting over. I haven't had your experience, but there are parallels with any big move. For me, changing careers and moving to Virginia cut off a lot of relationships and I've struggled to build new ones in a new environment. (It's been a long time now, so I've made progress.) Good for you for identifying ways in which new connections can be made.
The friends you made in prison were members of your lifestyle enclave: people brought together by shared circumstances. Once I realized this, I found it much easier to deal with the loss of contact when a member left the group.
It’s because we are all in it together doing time so you get to know people from all walks of life people are going through so much in life more now then ever a lot has happened last couple of years we need come back together The government has divided us The media we need put god back in everything that we put him out of
Just a thought and it helped me, maybe consider military service brother. I'm 14 years out of max no issues and served before, im thinking of going back because they'll clock off the hours on my helicopter licence in return. Follow your dreams, and make your dads memory proud
You've got more figured out than most folks. That's why you're so worth watching.
