The last living member of my immediate family has only said the words of Joe Rogan, Russel Brand, and RFK for the last 6-8 years, so I have ended contact with them June of last year. We're from a large close family that used to believe in love once. Now they all spout replacement theory and recently started liking kanye. I ended contact with them a year ago. Calling me mentally ill for supporting trans rights was the last straw.

I would love to hear from anyone who can relate. It feels pretty alone. Like I'm the only one who didn't drink the brain worm flavor aid.

I don't really know who else might understand. Even though I don't really drink, I was having a few drinks with 1 of the 2 members of my family I was still in contact with. Then his friend showed up. I begged the friend not to ruin the birthday for him. He insisted of trying to tell me to contact other members if my family I went no contact with. I still welcomed him into my home and had a drink with him. I explained my position to him until he tried to argue that Germany might have been the good guys in ww2. I threw him out. The family member chose to leave with him, at I told him not to call me, he brought a that person into my home.

I want to be like Fred Rogers and practice radical kindness, but I don't even think he would have let that man keep standing on his home. Now I feel more alone/isolated than ever, and I could use a little encouragement. This has already been one of the hardest years of my life. Now I think I'm going to have to add 1 more person to my no contact list. Idk if I'm ready for that. I hope some of you can relate, because I feel alone in this right now.

I'm(41m) a semi casual overwatch player who is looking for other people like my to play with. I used to have an easier time filling my list through people I got placed with. Lately I don't think I'm seeing more hateful people, I think I'm just more sick of it. I keep getting teams, then after a game or two they start throwing out casual hate. It's usually a misogyny or ableism. Often it's homophobia or racism.

I'm getting back into the game after taking a bit of a break, and I don't have a very active friend list anymore. I peaked gold (I think I technically hit plat 5 once), and I'm high silver support and tank now.
