Lots of video games.
…Does it have to be a healthy coping mechanism?
Embrace it. Find comfort in yourself.
It’s an easy well to fall into.
I picked up a sport this year. People are surprisingly friendly.
Which sport?
Ignoring people!
I laughed 🤣
Skydiving!
I endure, painfully.

Whatever that is it just shows up as a square on my end.
It’s a [hug] emote.
Poorly.
I pretend to have imaginary friends in my head until it seems like real enough and the day passes.
There is a singular niche community that I involve myself with where I pop in and make highly desired items to give away for free.
It makes me feel like people care about me for a while. For now, that’s good enough for me.

I don’t know if you’ve seen this before, but I recommend the Kurzgesagt video on loneliness.
It hit me quite deep, first time I saw it.Sit through it

I focus on spending time with friends and family when I can. And video games when I can’t. I stopped pushing myself to do things I didn’t want to do also, that helped a lot with being disappointed in what I achieve. BG3 is nice therapy these days for me.
Watching others having fun together oddly helps me a bit. I might binge a youtube channel like Corridor Crew, for example. Sometimes I even prefer being “a fly on the wall” because I don’t have to participate and be drained of energy. I also don’t have to worry about feeling rejected or offending anyone (and thus no “social hangover”).

I gather unto me, as much of this nectar as I can whilst not harming too many friends and family. Then I enjoy it.
