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.

Sorry you feel like I'm arguing with them. But people telling me to 'go see a doctor' when I've already said I don't have any money isn't helpful. I'm also not going into every single fine detail of my health here so a lot of the suggestions are just not going to work. Also people keep saying 'be positive' or whatever and I can't make people see what I've said (since it was all stuff in guild/clan discords), but I've done the 'positive' thing and it ended up the same way. Though usually the positive thing ended with me feeling more alone. So yeah I'm sorry that all of the 'long thought out helpful advice' isn't really helpful to me. I was 'arguing' with people who were clearly not reading my original post when they jumped straight to 'go spend money on a doctor/therapist'.
