As the title says, here is the first post: Post 01.

I keep running into garbage interactions with people. Such is life. I keep engrossing myself in just being better, doing better. But I can't get out of this hole, not when it comes to human interaction.

I have no idea what I'm doing. I can't figure it out. I have no idea how to tell that I'm doing something offensive or causing something to go awry.

I have been at this over-priced art school and have made no progress in any sort of networking capacity. Every time I think I've made a friend, within a few months, it devolves into me being alone, again.

I have no idea how to remedy this. I'm terrified this is it for me -- I'm just alone.

This has seeped into my time on Reddit. I meet people and then it fades. I can't decipher it.

I have no idea how to turn this around. The loneliness of being alone was annoying before lockdown. It has become unbearable some days, during lockdown. I have turned to Reddit.

It always seems like I'm "shadow banned". I see people post similar things and get attention. When I open up, I get dread, hostility, negativity, I'm spoken down to and berated. I was harassed by some asshat who posted hate on every one of my comments and posts made after our first interaction, before I realized what was happening and blocked him.

I just can't tell what sets me apart. It's driving me bonkers. It'd sure be nice to have a fucking friend, man. It'd be even nicer to have a galpal.

I don't know what the fuck to do to fix it.

It's been a hard thing to accept. And that's that.

C'est la vie.

Stay safe out there, y'all.

Go Team Venture. ✌🏻
