Sometimes, as I surf the web in my free time, I get into cycles where I think my "takes" in certain discourse spaces can get a little too spicy, and I end up with mostly unpopular opinions. Not going to discuss them specifically here, because that's not really what this entry about, just sort of thinking a little bit about how I normally end up ebbing and flowing between being showered with agreement, and seemingly having most people disagree with everything I say, over medium-long periods of time.
Maybe I'm just spending too much time participating in "discourse." If you've known me from the beginning, you know how much I love "discourse" lol.
Anyway long story short I got banned from nextdoor last month. Just recently got unbanned, but I'm struggling to connect with the people in my local community. Most people just seem to be a combination of unintelligent and unkind, and when I challenge these perspectives, I end up being perceived as stirring the pot, and end up being the one out on my ass. Conversely I find myself longing for local connections in my community, but I just can't stand the "average person" here. Should I just move? I don't know. |
