She needs to get off social media and go outside.

The simplest cure for all these folxs self-inflicted woes is going outside and touching some grass everytime they want to use social media.

I think some people should spend a week or two with the Amish to reset themselves mentally. Just to take a break from modernity. Don’t get me wrong, technological advancements are good, but we need to stop back from them every now and then just to remember that we are animals.

Is this really sometihng one can do, in relation to the Amish? I find their culture interesting and the thought of volunteering has come across my mind.

Just fyi, the Amish certainly aren't OK with gay people (don't know if you are or not), and their culture is extremely paternalistic and misogynistic. Not surprisingly, they also have quite the problem with sexual abuse. Don't let the homespun, we're-just-simple-folk facade fool you.

Thanks for the information. It did cross my mind if they were ok with gay people.

As long as you respect the Amish, they will respect you, at least I think so. I hear that young Amish men have to spend a year in the modern world as part of a right of passage to get a feel of modernity, many of them return to the Amish village because it’s the life they are used to.

Might also face the problem that a lot of amish communities don’t use English. Many maintain german or dutch as a native tongue.

Yeah, they learn English, but don't speak it amongst themselves. Instead, many of them speak Pennsylvania Dutch, which is unique to America, and despite the "Dutch" in the name is an offshoot of German.
