Ever look at a thread title and think, "You know, that might actually be good if it were by @Snarf Zagyg?"

Which pictures have basketballs?I get that a lot of folks in the hobby (any hobby) are introverts, or have social anxiety, or just aren't comfortable expressing their needs. But finding you a group of friends to play D&D with isn't Wizards of the Coast's job. It would be weird if it was.
1000 and 10 percent! This is also true in other areas of life, especially the political climate(as far as I am going to go on that due to forum rules). Don't let things rule your life and drive you insane/depressed/etc.I know I come back to this every so often, but seriously: when you hate or loathe something that much, get away from it. Don’t give it space in your home or in your mind. Make it go away. Because we are physical beings, stressful emotions take a measurable physical toll on your health. They make you more vulnerable to infection, more prone to systemic failures, slower to heal. Nothing in the world of hobbies that you hate is worth those prices. More folks would be a lot better off abandoning things they stopped loving or even liking long ago and instead filling their time and thoughts with things they can now enjoy. It’s not just about a choice of attitude but of actual, objective costs as well as being boring and destructive to the communities around them.
For myself, I need to put more time into solo play, since that’s what my disabilities allow for now and I do enjoy it.
