I do enjoy the finer things in life as well. However, I still advocate for the balkanization and demilitarization of the USA. When you say you don't 'fit in' with other people, do you mean in terms of making friends or acquaintances?

Not judging but maybe its a "you" problem ? Like I have a friend that I would consider an average progressive / socdem. I think all billionaires should be shot ... he doesnt think so. That doesnt stop us from being friends though.

but maybe its a "you" problem ?

Well yea, I think my post pretty clearly implied that

And yes, I mean making friends and acquaintances

I had absolutely no issues with that back then when I was masking my autism, tried to fit in with well off liberals, and thought I was cishet

But now I'm trying to become friends with people completely outside of that demographic and it's hard for the aforementioned reasons in the post and other comments

Hmm I dont think I have any real advice. Im usually pretty good at getting along with people outside of my comfort zone. Even getting friendly with them. Like im queer but all of my friends except 1 guy are just cis het.Then again I can see it being difficult getting close to people that run in different circles.

Either way - Good Luck

I did like your Donghua Jinlong's Industrial Grade Glycine post btw.
