I like infodumping, then being infodumped back at, until we arrive at some crossover subject of mutual curiousity we can discuss till the cows come home. Unfortunately while my gf loves this, my bff doesn't appreciate this tho.

I do enjoy that at times because I'm generally a curious person that likes to learn. Someone told me it's a sign of autism once but that person was also an idiot in many aspects.
I find im always just howling into the void.
Nah, I'm just shy. Especially with women. I don't feel I have much to offer anyone.
Yes, I feel that way sometimes. But I try to keep in mind that humans are innately social creatures, and I shouldnโt shut myself off like that. It helps to have pre-planned events with people I know I like, like playing a TTRPG or board game, or volunteering.
Being with people without an activity is weird for a long time, you need to REALLY know them to do that.
I feel this a lot. Between people moving away and turning inward, I have maybe one or two really good friends.
If my boss is in a talkative mood by the time I get home from work I don't want to hear another human at all.
I read this with pauses in the wrong spots and thought it was going to be some kind of joke that your boss was your wife or something
On any given day my boss will babble more words to me than my wife has said in 20 years of marriage.
My social battery is dead and been incinerated.
Social media. You use it up spending time on Reddit and Lemmy etc.
people spend time on social media before it enshittifies completely. in 10 years it's all gonna be dead internet theory and bots, controlled by oligarchs for the purpose of advertisement.
the problem will solve itself eventually.
Nah, it's easy to block and or not engage in toxicity on social media if you choose so
That really does not matter. Spend some time camping with no phones and notice how differently you feel and behave. Humans did not evolve to have smartphones and social media, it triggers numerous emotional responses without actually satisfying them, by its inherent nature.
When I burned out of the corporate world, I went back to school for horticulture and became a gardener. Nature bathing/green therapy is very real and I agree very important for people to do regularly to ground themselves in this chaotic world.
