Has anyone here given up socializing and dating? Lost 100% interest in meeting new people and going out a lot?

What is your POV and reasons?

I think most people are superficial, unauthentic, hypocritical, emotionally sadistic, and value external self-validation.

Conversations are all the same. Same repetitive topics. A huge portion of conversations I have lack depth and leave me drained. I just find most conversations to be emotionally exhausting and not fulfilling.

Socializing to me is not fun anymore. I am exhausted of the status quo, unspoken rules, gossip and my intuition being correct about people. I just end up being a target for bullying or I am ostracized in a friend group; especially when I make mistakes or am my authentic self.

In short I am just done. A hermit life with a 100% focus on my career sounds more fun and fulfilling than 'trying again.'
