Getting into philosophy and ethics. Contemporary Stoicism in particular is very freeing and empowering. Theres this concept in Stoicism (and Buddhism) of "dichotomy of control" where some things can't be controled like thoughts emerging or you dying but you can control your reaction to all of that.
Another concept from Stoicism that relates to community is the idea of "festival" which is basically being intentionally mindful of how awesome crowds are - the fact that a diverse group of people gather together for some shared activity or just to hang out is enough for you to enjoy it!
If you are interested in continuing to discuss Stoicism, I'm currently studying it and made a Lemmy community for discussion https://yall.theatl.social/c/philosophy_of_life
I subbed. I have a copy of Til Meg Selv that I enjoy and think the Daily Stoic puts out nice guides.
