I think I'll always get whiplash about the fact that, when I come online, I just feel...kind of normal, I guess. a little strange, but kind of in a boring way.
then every time I try to branch out and see what's going on in the broader community, I feel like a total freak of nature. like I have never socialized with another human in my life. or perhaps I am just from another country, and wow, I do not know this culture.
and, maybe it doesn't matter, because in my experience (note: this only applies to people I met offline first, online friends are different), my interiority doesn't really matter. people don't ask me questions about myself or my interests, so it doesn't actually matter if I have anything in common with anyone...I just wish there was a way to go out and do more things and expand my social circle in a way that didn't involve just completely erasing everything about me.
