That being said there’s some interesting stuff here that I would like to hear more about.
What does influence on the social environment look like to you?
I notice you don’t talk at all about the outcomes of the volunteering projects you did. What did you think of them, apart from the effect on status?
Does it seem to you like the EA volunteer efforts are organized to allow for the flakiness you describe, or does it seem like they are being impacted negatively?
Honestly, I’m hardly solving this for myself. Just trying to shape the community in such a way that others are doing a bit better. I’d expect a lot of good to come from that. So let’s not get into the frame of emotionally supporting me. That’s not the outcome I’m looking for.

It’s fuzzy, but it means not being left in the dark when you’re in need in some way. People maybe checking in if you’ve been feeling bad.

Except for organisational overhead, they’re relatively robust. Been running for a few months now, and this one guy has kept showing up, so that’s kept it going.
Empathy; I wish it was going differently for you.
