I'm in a very restrictive home situation right now that I probably won't be able to leave even after the pandemic is over, and all my friends are online friends. Most from other countries, including my fp.

I get genuinely happy when good things happen to them and they get to do something with their lives. They do deserve it! But I can't help but feel bitter that everyone else seems to be improving their situation while I'm stuck in my room for the foreseeable future. Doesn't help that the good things happening to my friends mean they spend less time on the internet, which leaves me alone and stuck in my own head.

Do you guys have any tips or coping strategies?
