There's no hope is there. It seems so easy for everyone else to talk and get along even with complete strangers, but with me it is like they magically know I am not normal and they have to exclude me and treat me like I'm a walking pile of shit they can't get rid of, they somehow pick it up, they just know I was completely alone as a child and a teenager and don't have 10000 hours of socializing with my peers. Now I can only scrape together 1 or 2 hours of awkward socializing like this. It is like everyone else is a master pianist while I'm an amateur, and they won't let me used the piano.

To make matter worse I have absolutely zero interest in pop culture and contemporary fashionable music, it is an ordeal trying to learn enough about it so I can participate in a conversation. Mass media keeps creating these stereotypes of "nerds" and they are always the villain, always turning out to be a serial killer with the worst most petty traits imaginable. I can't even point this out or talk about it, because apparently it is a "victimhood mentality", I'm just asking to be included in our society like everyone else. How is it "entitlement" when I want what everyone else has? I am faced with being alone for the rest of my life for fuck's sake and I am not even asking for anything, just asking you to stop ostracizing and hating me for no reason.

Same here. This works fine for me though, it is rarely a topic in conversations with the people in my life.

Also, therapy.
