I think my problem is it's impossible for me to treat any communications channel as a "space". Sometimes I deliberately zone into a Mastodon instance to post huge angry open letters at the admin because it just doesn't bother me.
I recommend reading fiction it gives a lot of perspective on life even if you're just kind of analyzing how it was written. I got stuck reading nonfiction for too long 2021-2023
Fiction allows me to kind of absorb other people's experiences in a cryptic way. Maybe I'm out of my fucking mind or maybe I'm over-explaining a basic concept familiar to everyone who did better in school ☺️
Wow, I respect your inability to be bothered by writing huge angry letters at admins, sounds non-stressful. Between the autism and such I'm basically not allowed to be angry at all or people will scream at me. Out of the many reasons I don't do much antagonising people these days, one of the big ones is I do not have the social energy to be fighting with people who think I am the great fuckin satan.
I am an enthusiastic reader of fiction, I've been reading novels and novellas and bits of internet fiction constantly for the last three years. The conflict I describe is ironically over someone's internet fic, so uh rip. Also I guarantee I did not do better than you in school lol
