Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I think the dating app thing is a very common experience. I'd stay away from them until you're in a better place at least, if not entirely. Unfortunately it seems like the denial of abuse is common too but idk if I have anything meaningful to say about that besides "wow that sucks, I'm sorry."
I feel this pretty hard. And I'm not even particularly talented lmao. I know this doesn't make it feel better, but it's not you, it's society. I mean yes, there's just meeting the right people and stuff too, but the current trajectory of society is so alienating, and treats everyone as so profoundly disposable and interchangeable, that I don't know how anyone manages. Many if not most people I know are struggling in similar ways.
To quote... someone, idk, it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Solidarity, friend
