I'm not sure if anyone else deals with this but I struggle with leaving my apartment when I'm not with someone I know. Which to give an idea... my social life is pretty much non existant and I'm extremely privileged to be able to hide away. But I wish I could live my life.. just feels like I'm wasting away in a room.. Anyways I turn to the internet a lot but I end up fighting with people a lot and it always makes me feel hopeless. Normally the people I pick fights with are bullies/homophobic/racist and just overall shitty people. It just sets me off and I feel the need to defend others... but it often drains me and makes me feel hopeless about the world in general. The past few months I've learned a lot about my country and the world... I guess what I'm trying to ask is does the internet make anyone else feel like the world is hopeless because of the amount of hate you can find? I get the internet is filled with hate because people feel safer being that way.. but that doesn't make me feel better because that just means people are hiding their true colors. I dunno anyways thanks for anyone who takes the time to read or respond.
