What are the unexpected upsides and downsides of communal living for Chris?

Yeah, so upsides, I definitely noticed that some of the usual coping mechanisms completely

lose their appeal.

Social media being one.

Why is it that people just keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling?

Is it that they're trying to find the others?

Is that the itch that they're trying to scratch?

I'm looking for big butts usually.

I think it's that longing to belong.

You're trying to find a friend.

That completely loses its appeal when there are actual friends there, like all the time,

like real.

That's definitely one.

I mean, so the word unexpected is kind of the caveat here.

It might be unexpected to me, but not unexpected to somebody else.
