i h8 real life

I am not sure if it's just me, but I seriously cannot stand most in-person interactions. I mean, I get it, people are people, and I'm sure they mean well, but why is everyone always acting so. weird? It feels like some kinda performance is going on and people have to pretend to care about things that just don't matter. Small talk? Don't even get me started. I just want to talk about something real, but it's like we're stuck in this loop of superficial stuff.

But here's the thing: I love my online friends. Like, genuinely. We can talk about anything, no pretending, no weird expectations-just straight-up conversations that actually feel real. There's something so refreshing about not having to deal with all the social pressure that comes with IRL interactions. I can be myself, they can be themselves, and everything just flows.

And that's where it gets confusing. I know I probably should just accept that people are always going to act the way they do in person, but it's hard, you know? I feel like I should be okay with it, but I just. can't. It's like I'm caught between the real world where everyone's doing their own thing and the online world where I actually feel comfortable.

I know, I know-can't change people, and I should just let it go.
