    easier, or more rewarding?

    connections with people aren’t very enjoyable when they are shitting on you and harassing you for your identity not being ‘progressive’ enough. a lot easier to dissociation and enjoy your life on your own without constant harassment for things beyond your control, like being a man.

      I’ve been known to talk ideology at gatherings (I assume that’s what you meant by progressive). Maybe that’s why I don’t get invited to many parties lol.

      My only point being that you have to show up to those gatherings anyway. It’s still a chance for valuable human connection, in my opinion. The only thing you can control is the way you react to that harassment.
