Is it an adhd thing? Is it a codependent personality? Some kind of dissociation or sensory processing shit?
How do I overcome this problem? I have decent social skills but it feels so meaningless. I feel so lonely even around people.
I know I'm a stranger but shoot your best shot.
I think this really is mostly just alienation and atomization stemming from neoliberal capitalism invading every facet of our lives and trivializing/commodifying relationships with others. You aren’t alone and a lot of other people feel this way too.

I’ve always had issues socializing as well related to other problems I had growing up, but I feel like the system we live in makes it that much worse. Maybe people who are more socially gifted than I could make it work, but for me trying to meet people and make new friends (in real life anyways) in my current situation feels damn near impossible, so honestly I’ve just kind of given up on it.
