I connect with some people just fine, and I'm not low on mood or anything, I'm a pretty thick-skinned in this regard so I don't think it's me really. All of this, as shitty as it is, I don't let it get to me, I huff the green utopia flavoured hopium

I think it's just this country sadly, as the other poster mentioned, every single person I've connected with is either from another country originally (or still) or has more of a global cultural outlook thanks to the internet.
