>>58676172i feel you, anon. it's just so hard to make lasting connections in america. i've always been very jealous of my parents, who met in college and made lifelong friends there that they kept in contact with their entire lives because i just can't make that happen to me. i'm a relatively attractive
woman but because i'm not interested in casual sex and am somewhat socially autistic i just can't really connect to anyone on a genuine level. and it's like, i don't feel like i need to work on myself! i don't think i'm a broken person or whatever and i'm happy with a lot of the stuff i've accomplished in life - but ultimately i'm deeply isolated, and it feels like the problems that've led to this isolation are structural in nature. america is so deeply individualist no sense of community nothing. everyone for themselves. i'm so tired of it.
