>get fit and lose weight
>still feel like a sub human
>borderline suicidal, can't feel like myself in crowded places, feel like a fucking alien who doesn't belong anywhere and has no rights to exist
>meet a girl
>really really like her
>think i should shoot my shot and try and ask her for a date
>she's a lesbian (for real)
>she declines my advances but she wants me to join her friend group because apparently she thinks i'm interesting in some way (i really don't know why)
>i think she's cool and i can't interact with her any other way
>whatever, i'm a loner, i NEED to connect to people because i'm so fucking lonely i'm going insane
>anxious as fuck because i never did well in groups
>meet up with her group of friends (like a dozen of people)
>they're all completely fucking different ranging from a literally schizophrenic guy to a hypersocial megaslut who spends half of the meetup trying to get into the lesbian girl's pants and flirting with everyone (me included (no i didn't fuck her))

>i feel comfortable just sitting around listening to them talk and just being there
>i finally fit in
>i don't even have to use a mask or something because i can basically say whatever the hell comes to my head and (most) people somehow like it
>end up talking to a younger girl about pretending to be a girl in an MMO to get gold and items from simps, she tells me how she pretends to be a man online to start shit in male dominated online communities, explain her that an episode of Xavier Renegade Angel "Going Normal" had a plot like this and she liked it
>spend like 15 hours with them
>leave feeling great and leaving a positive impression on everyone
>lesbian bro now considers me a part of the group as well and wants to see more of me
