yeah I don't live up to the stereotype of an /r9k/er. To be honest I have gotten sick of women cause they really are that horrible lately and I genuinely would rather not be an emotional tampon that they abuse to feel powerful.
>Making new friends
I feel disconnected from people since 2020. People overall have lost their minds. I have made sarcastic jokes,for an example (I usually avoid politics but this joke is a great example of my sense of humor) "oh man who knew the war with Ukraine was the cure for COVID and the lockdowns" or and people will sincerely stare and be like "war doesn't cure viruses"...
Not joking back
Being 100% sincere and serious
They genuinely don't understand sarcasm or jokes and only laugh at stupid tiktok slop that is loud noises and silly dances that aren't funny and always boil down to "when X happens (Cue song and dance)"

I have limited ability to look up community events (not on social media and all the people running events only create facebook pages to promote their event).
But I have slowly started going out to things alone and take pictures of stuff (not to post, for me and for my memories)
I am uncertain how much of it is me being the problem and how much is I'm not crazy, people are brainwashed and retarded now.
While normally I would focus on me and say its delusional to consider everyone but myself the problem, I can pinpoint this back to COVID and a general divide amongst people and am seeing articles saying shit like "Men please come back we miss you"

There isn't an easy answer.
Part of it is I am very low trust and very scared to open up.
Part of it is people suck.
