#community focused things arent a cult . and i still would have a lot of contacts Outside of that .

the more i read abt co-housing the more i love the concept and the more i want to do it but all my friends r always like 'no that's definitely a cult thing and would suck in practice'

#like. what's wrong with intentional communities :+( #i think for me personally. as someone who is aro AND who feels physically sick with anxiety when i have to live w other people #but is still very people- / community-oriented. having a private home w group facilities is like ? ideal ? #my family has always been incredibly community-oriented as well #and my friend and i were looking into opening a community centre before the pandemic so. #i get why its hard for younger people who r used to having Choice Of People thanks to internet #so hanging out w whatever random people happen to be local when you have no control over that IS like. rough. #but also. that is being a human lol #and you can control what your local community is like i intentionally moved away from my small conservative town #and i mean an intentional co-housing community would be built on shared values so ??? #community focused things arent a cult . and i still would have a lot of contacts Outside of that .
