Is it just me, or do these sports game ratings feel totally disconnected from what's actually happening on the field lately? It feels like the devs are just picking numbers out of a hat to keep people arguing. Does anyone else feel like the "prestige" of a player is being completely ignored by these studios?

Hey.

I'm from the Memphis/Indianapolis area, just turned 22. My social circle basically fell apart after childhood for a bunch of reasons; ended up alone, I guess. My only friend is off at some university far away, so he's basically just an internet friend at this point.

So yeah, I've been perpetually lonely since I was fifteen, without making a single real connection, except for people online who kept me from losing my mind completely. God, I can't do this anymore.

I don't have—or maybe I just don't know how to—create situations where I actually spend enough time with someone to get to know them. Just small talk and then everyone goes their separate ways... that's all I've managed in seven years. Nowhere to go except some suffocating club where I don't belong. I looked for a specific topic for this, so if nothing else, any advice would be more than welcome.

Anyway, getting to the point.

I'm looking for a friend, guy or girl, whatever. Someone I could eventually share everyday life with, you know, like real friends do. Maybe someone with some shared interests so we actually have something to talk about. That's the dream, obviously; I'm not expecting that right away.

Someone to grab coffee with, someone to dive into existential, philosophical, or personal stuff with. Someone who likes overthinking and talking about ideas and visions—someone who gets what it means to be a dreamer, but also someone I can just talk nonsense with and laugh. Someone to go hiking with, or hit up an event, or travel, or just sit side-by-side playing games or lazily watching a movie.

I don't even really know who I am, since I lack that reflection in other people's eyes—mostly because I don't have those people in my life to see how they perceive me. I'm just a nerdy, open-minded type interested in all sorts of random things. I guess I can say I lean toward optimism and hope, but I definitely see the darker side of life too. 🙂

If any of this resonates, I don't know, shoot me a message. It's easy enough to be friends online and see if it works out.

And I should probably mention, I've got a whole arsenal of psychological issues, so I'll probably find some common ground with someone there.🤣
