Being 'to negative' (midwest.social)

So I'm a shut-in with a ton of problems and no money. My life revolves around World of Warcraft and Destiny 2 which is sad in its own right I'm sure. Anyway every single time I try to find a community (guild or clan) it goes to hell within a month or so. They always say I'm too negative about the game or my performance. No matter what I do/say it apparently always comes across as 'negative' and they see it as hurting their community. Funny enough these communities are always dead and I'm talking into a void trying to engage people.

Sorry I'm not sure why I'm posting this. Just had another group tell me I was getting kicked due to negativity and I'm so tired of it. I don't have any friends, I'm always starting over from scratch and even if I try my hardest it still ends the same way. Don't even feel that I'm being negative since I just say bugs me. Sorry. Feel like I could cry, because of everything, and I can't even do that.

That's true. I've terrible experiences irl too. When I joined an LGBTQIA+ group at school they ostersiced me for saying that I personally had no issue talking to someone who had questions about the communities I fell into. Like that was a terrible thing to them so they shunned me. It was so funny because we had a room you could go to to hang out/study/chill in and when I'd walk in they'd all get up and leave. Other times I've just been furniture for the group. Like they say 'we want you here/we like you being here' but when I'd try to engage they'd just shut down. Now with COVID and no place to even try to find friends I gave up. I'm in too much pain and can't afford to go do things so yeah.

My sister was diagnosed with autism and she became a trans lesbian Republican. A lot of progressives hate her and can't understand why there are gay people who become Republicans.
