This Metaverse / NFT thing is depressing, I wouldn't recommend this. If you are alone, better take the "celebrations" as an opportunity to discover people that are a little bit of your usual circle by inviting them for a dinner or movie. The COVID-19 makes more people lonely, and actually, it's a positive thing for people who are usually alone because it makes it easier for them to live with the social stigma of being alone.

I don’t understand what can be depressing about other people finding company, wherever that may be?

Maybe it’s me, I just never saw how things that make other people happy can be depressing for someone else.

This whole "people on the internet aren't real people" thing is SO 20th century.

I didn’t mean metaverse/nft, HN is a virtual world.
