>>94419 (OP)I'm the same age and it's a similar story. Lost touch with my friends after high school, cut off my online ones, now it's just me and my parents. I don't mind. Sure, I wish I had friends and a partner but this loneliness has been a choice. It's better to be alone than surrounded by bad people. When you have less people in your life, you're less tethered.
America is becoming so divided and everything feels like a scam. This dude in a bookstore started talking to me only to slide in this MLM invitation halfway through the conversation. I already knew something was up, people don't talk to you unless if it's their job or they have something to sell you. I'm tired of avoiding scammers, deceit, and terrible people. I just want an apartment, a job, and some peace.
Humans are social creatures, but American culture warps people's minds and makes them immoral, selfish, and desperate. I don't know if it's le capitalism, probably is. It's gonna fall apart in 10-20 years. By the time everything's collapsed and the world begins to recover, I'll be too old to enjoy it. So yeah, life fucking sucks. But a lot of people suck too.
