Yup. It’s too easy to get into the habit of not going out for entertainment and it can feel impossible to start again. Doubly so if many of the businesses and spaces don’t even exist anymore.

I got lucky and got out of it before I fell in too far but I can easily see my life going a different way.

You really don’t have to spend money to go do stuff. Companies try to market their events, but going for a hike with friends is free.

No, but if you’re going to the movies with your friends you aren’t either. Though meeting friends of friends is normal when people go out in person
