Does anybody else feel alone?

I went on a spree of joining random groups, discords, steam, etc to just try and find people to get drunk and play games with and it's impossible to find anywhere that doesn't have any kind of psychotic interpersonal policing. I'm not even that racist or right wing (until the subject of native americans gets brought up) but it seems like everyone on the line is a tranny or christfag or hardcore anonymous. I used to have an assortment of weird online friends but the years have sent everyone apart.

Me, I'm in full-bore midlife crisis mode and have resorted to using Null, PPP & Andy as my background noise/borderline surrogate friends or just voices to listen to while I spend the odd weekend night drinking and gaming. But it's like, there doesn't seem to be anywhere I fit in anymore or just be my usual beligerant drunken self. IRL is out the window until next June-ish because that's when I go back to [IRL place] where I have actual IRL friends and not [current shithole] where everyone acts like a faggot.

I'd considered looking to see if there's any hangouts here but aside from SS13 (which I'm not autistic enough for) there doesn't seem to be anything. And I know that A. It's anti-thetical to what the sites about and B. Anybody willing to do so would be likely malicious or some miserable combination of rat/a-log/ideas guy.

It really feels like the internet is dead, and those who inhabit it anymore are Trannies, Nazis, Lolcows, Corpos, their "Chosen Grifters" and about a billion chinks, jeets and robots. I spend most days working and working and working and nightly stop to shitpost, youtube, drink & game. But I keep seeing all these posts and they're just shadows on the wall. The voices come from a PA system wrapped around my skull. I look outside and everyone is a strange creature I cannot relate to. I several times tried going to a variety of bars and it feels like nobody knows how to hold a conversation, or they're "kids" glued to social media or geriatrics who repeat phrases like an NPC in an MMO I clicked on one too many times. I've got both feet in the sewer with my head in the clouds and all I can seem to do is nightly cope and space until I can return home.

I actually liked having internet people on hand and I think the larpers who insist you can't have friends online, and actually suggest I "touch grass, meme whatever" are people who don't actually have life experience.
It's certainly not the same as flesh and blood interaction but I agree, just having the intellectual stimulation of contacting somebody you even marginally consider worth something can go a long way.
The touch the grasstards clearly don't understand that the issue isn't finding people, it's finding the right quality of people. "Just go to a bar/volunteer at a group lol" will benefit an actual shutin because their problem is interaction at any level but when your problem is finding someone actually worth something...
Idk bro that's relatable but we're just words on a screen. There isn't that much any of us can do. Like speaking of animals I'm not even a human being personally, I'm a penguin who gets paid to post online from a base in the antarctic.

That's just the modern world for you. It reaches the point of absurdity how so many people can simultaneously feel on the out. Everyone wishes they could connect with others, you can sense it just from being out in public, but when everyone operates on their own independent wavelength it's tough to make that happen.

Thats cause it is. This is the final stages of the internet in it's current form that is being milked/wrung out in any way now that it's been explored to death and monetized. Their is some good things about it but they are vastly overshadowed by the negatives nowadays.

Overall on your post I think you would benefit from alot of introspective about who you are and what you want. I have done it alot myself and I have several people that have outright said I have made a big difference in their life due to it. DM me at any time so that you can chat about something, anything. I wont judge or make fun of you.
 
touch grass. If you're looking to find fulfilling companionship exclusively through a screen you'll probably be looking for a long time. Humans just aren't built that way.
You might think this is not the answer you're looking for but seriously rl friends or family are way better for you than sitting on a computer. You're literally rotting away and it's killing you.

He wants an online hugbox and doesn't feel like expending any energy to get one. Sorry, friends.
 
I never considered this. Months and it didn't occur to me I didn't have to try to join others, but maybe I could make one myself. How do you create a group of people starting from yourself?
Have you considered helping at your local food bank? Maybe visiting an old folks home. Ring the bell for Salvation Army or Toys for Tots. Help out at the local animal shelter. Anything that gets you out of you and gets you offline would probably help.
 
If you're unironically suggesting these things you're more terminally online than I could ever be.
I can't help at the animal shelter because I would legit want to adopt all the dogs, but helping at the monthly food bank and ringing the bell for Salvation Army are two of my favorite things to do. The former because it really is rewarding to help organize and distribute food for approximately 300 families every month, and the latter because I literally get to stand on the sidewalk ringing a bell at people and yelling "Merry Christmas!" And no one looks at me weird. The money collected stays 100% in our county. I don't go to the local old folks home, but again, through the pantry, have been able to meet several very nice homebound older people that I consider friends. I drop off their bags, and then we just hang out for an hour, or two. If you can't find value in those things, or joy in them, then you might deserve your isolated misery. But I wish you the best of luck, anyway.
