I would like to find unvaxed community in Pasadena, California area. My circle has been greatly diminished since covid. For example, I’ve become interested in joining a mahjong group, but the social aspect is always stressful as I’m not in line with the majority of people I meet here. Recently, I was at a social gathering of new people and they were all waxing poetic over their covid and shingle shots. I was so uncomfortable being in close proximity and having to be so careful about anything I say in order not to offend anyone. It would be so nice to be myself again.
