I've been trying to get into socializing online lately as I do periodically since I'm evidently uninclined to perform social behavior adequately irl. But I can never relate to anyone in mainstream spaces and commonly become feeling like a depressed anthropologist from another world who hates her job. Sometimes I lurk in places like 4chan or here or such where at least people's behavior is more comprehensible, but I steel feel alienated by the preponderance of gatekeepy incel types; as a woman, these people's attitudes towards sex, women, and perceived outsiders makes me kind of uncomfortable. The posts in this particular space about supposed fakers and normies bother me too as being unaccepted everywhere due to not being enough like others in each place to meet people's standards is a big part of why I don't go outside anymore.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
