I don't really have any close friends, and I don't really have a center right now, so my Fridays are unnecessarily stressful and I have to go and rewatch How To Be Alone to try to feel better. Last night I fell asleep thinking about going to a cafe today and using Facebook targeted ads to tell people within a 1 mile radius that I've been feeling really bad and needed a hug. Imagine that showing up on your newsfeed, haha.

Some thoughts I remember having:

- What would I put as the meta-image and meta-description of the Facebook advertisement?

- Would it be a boosted post or a carousel ad of multiple images?

- Would it go cheesy and viral and make me known as the lonely Alaskan guy?

- Is it actually embarrassing or a bold political statement?

- What would I even say to someone? Should I wrap the whole thing under the guise of "social experiment"?

- Would Facebook even approve the ad?

Whatever. I'm feeling shitty, but I'm not actually ballsy enough to do it. I wish I brought some ibuprophen with me to work, because that also helps with social pain. I usually take two before applying to jobs or cold-calling or OkCupiding.

Reading this article made me realize I don't give a shit about the causes. I'm not at that birds-eye level I was in college, where I could quote Bowling Alone and speak about the topic like I wasn't an undergraduate. Social pain hurts like a motherfucker.
