I think this might need a more thorough examination of the mechanics of what is happening. Think of it as us trying to debug your vibes if you will. A great deal about human connection boils down to fostering and expressing mutual appreciation. Try to walk me through how a friendship of yours evolves usually. The usual patters from getting introduced to how you depart. If there is a general pattern, a change in people's behavior over time, that would be good to know.

In that case I would, at least for now, try a different approach. Try CICO with a 500kcal deficit (TDEE calculators are in the resources, if you are MtF treat yourself as F if you are on hormones). If, after two weeks, you don't see at least a loss of 500g, then you should go to the doctor and have your thyroid checked. It is a common enough issue that I tell everyone to.

How are you today, Anons? Remember.. you are always, always welcome to speak up here. I am so glad that you are comfortable speaking up about your pain like this. It is wonderful you can see you aren't alone here.

>Oh wow, Kant... Kant is hard...
He is a fucking *mess* to read. ZuEwFr is a strange book because a lot of pages are split horizontally: half the page is the text, the other half is (I shit you not) the footnote. Sometimes the footnote continues on the bottom margin of the next page. It is absurd. But it is about 100 pages I believe.
>A fresh copy, that implies that you've reread that book a lot?
We read it at my Gymnasium, I was quite fond of it at the time but Reclam books in a backpack get scuffed to hell and back.
>What do you get out of it?
I liked his musings on the notion of states-of-states as a model for international relationships. It is a shame Kant was not around when mathematics obtained its modern notation, quantifiers and algebraic notation would have made his word vomit much more concise.
>Yeah yeah, you gotta weed through the assholes and all that... but that causes me psychic damage so I stopped...
Hey, I get that, on some level. I was a complete recluse for my entire teenage and some of my early 20s. I loosened up at uni cause I was suddenly around people who were intelligent, passionate, and sufficiently autistic.
>You're nice, anon... But most people aren't like that, especially men, especially outside of /lgbt/ and IRL.
It is hard, Tim. I know, and I know I am a bit fembrained for a moid and that people like me are not exactly ubiquitous. I've asked before at the kinda people you met at your unis, right? My memory is a little hazy from the past few weeks.
>On the internet, I can just close the tab when I feel like it.
>I am just hypersensitive.
What you need in those cases, truly, is someone who is willing to explain himself. Someone you can just ask if they are mad at you, or judge you, or if you are a burden, and they say no as often as it takes to feel even remotely true.
