My local queer events are full of NDs since there is a large overlapp, same with pen-and-paper groups, progressive and IT meetups.
Sound a bit like a stereotype, but from personal experience all these places are full of the NDs or people who are generally very nice.
I know personal meetups are not always possible or easy to do, its just the option I had the most success with while having fun in general.
I hate to bring up this point, but depending on the location / country you live in transition might be a risky plan. Mostly because the there government hates the idea of us existing.
Currently I would give a stark warning for anyone in the US, followed by most parts of the middle east, china and russia. Cant speak for the rest of asia / oceania. Europe should be safe, most dangers here come less from the government directly but usually single parties. Make sure to check legislation in your area.
Also your community might not always approof of the idea, especially very conservative or religious fundamental ones.
Whatever you do, stay safe and informed. Good luck on your journey!
Would be a real shame if someone did sabotage the power plant somehow…

If you cant find the positive vibes in you to keep going, then there is another way.
You can keep going out of pure spite for the world that seek to harm you. Otherwiss they just win if you choose to leave this earth. Do you want to let them win?
Its not like this will stay forever and even if there is no comming back, then sit at the brink with legs dangling over the abyss, snack in hand and enjoying the show.
Not the most healthy way of dealing with it, but I found moments where this mindset was very helpfull.
Either way, keep going. Or seek professional help, you know the drill. But dont just let them win.

If the world is such a cruel place and the others all suck, then you are under no obligation to follow them any longer.
If its already bad, then you can even more follow your hearth. If the worlds cant change by itself then make your own.
I sure did back then. New community, new love for myself and ofhers, new friends, new enemies and hardships. Only that I feel more alive then ever.
If you already found out what you are and are certain of it, but your place in the world is not the one you want then seek or make a new one. Be your own light in the darkness and trail a new blaze.
There are enough others like you, probably closer then you think. Seek out those who also dont want to see the world suffer like this and help mending the others hearths. Join a community and if there is no structure then build one yourself. If the world is filled with hatred then dilute that with your own hands and hearth.
This is a diffucult task. Not sure its doable. But you are surprised how much hatred can fuel a good cause.
Just make sure you end up on the right side of history with your choices. We already have enough small time tyrants, braindead cultists and people haters already.
This a very familiar story for me…
Took me a good long look in the mirror and seriously asking the question who and what I wanted to be. And also, even more importantly, what I do NOT want to be anymore.
Then I ripped out all the things that were not me and whats left is better of without that now dead part.
Im not posting here what was left, because I dont want to project my own experiences onto you. But for me the topics of identity, gender, neurodivergency, expectations and what feels right were very important. And in need of reevaluation.
Ultimately I dont know what is going on in your life. In an emergency seek professional help, which I am definetly not. Im just a stranger on the internet with time to answer your questions.
If I wanted to give you advice, it would be this: Finding out what you are NOT is often easier then finding out what you are or want to be. The negative is simply the longer way to truth, because the list of what you are not is technically longwe and what you are is small in comparisson.
Best of Luck on your journey, I hope this helps.

These people need to be put back in line.
Help, minorities fight for representation. They should remain in the closet to validate my fragile ego
They don’t actually care about the art they corrupt;
Please keep my games cis-hetero mostly white please, I dont want to be reminded of other people decisions in life or that these people exist
… it’s about pushing their agenda and making sure anyone and making sure anyone who goes against it is silenced (censored)
What do you mean I cant be a racist and get away with it? Quick Elon, censor these accounts!
Their entire goal is to make people loser like them, so they don’t feel bad about being failures
(Just a straight up confession, like every accusation always is. The Tinder account probably isnt running so hot right now…)
PedoCon “theory” strikes again…
Every. Single. Time.
PedoCon theory is a theory in the same way gravity is a theory…
Shows his worst self
His honest self
Simple material effect.
People are shaped by the interrest of the social and material class they are part of. And the evil people are always the one in power and have the money, so they act in the interest of their class and do things that help themselves.
Fucking Marx wrote about this quite a while ago, now his predictions just manifest more visibly, but the cultural and material forces have always been at play. Now we just reached a breaking point as a planet and population, so the underlying systems start to break too and the people on top do everything to stay in power, including ditching reality altogether.
I put ABA in wikipedia an scrolled to the critique section.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_behavior_analysis
Not fun to read. Really not. I also looked for the cited study that reproduce these findings.
Apparently ABA has the chance to traumatise a person, induce exploitable behaviour and induce selftdestructive thoughtpatterns.
Despite that, apparetly some individuals profit from ABA.
Here is the link to the study cited in wikipedia: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13623613221118216
Edit: Linked Wikipedia
Reality and science disagree, but whatever.
Truth doesnt mean a thing to people full of hate…
