/feels/ - Advice & Venting

nowadays it's so hard for me to connect with people irl, being autistic and lacking social skills plays a huge role in this, but i feel like many people my age have become so shallow and infected with "tiktok brain rot" which is why i feel so desinterested in the people around me in the first place. im not sure if im just paranoid but seeing how people interact with eachother hurts my brain because i cannot stop noticing those typical mannerisms, such as hand gestures and specific slang that obviously stems from tiktok. it is making me feel so sick. everything they do comes off so performative and it scares me to be surrounded by people that are a creation of their fricking tiktok algorithm. it seems like there is no point in trying to befriend anyone if all of them are just a product of a bot that was programmed by multimillionaires to turn them into insufferable people and bring them more profit. i cant cope with this.
