I understand this completely. As a Christian, perhaps you’re familiar with the concept of being *in* the world, but not *of* it. If so, take some measure of comfort in knowing that, if you are uncomfortable in mainstream culture, perhaps it’s because you’re doing something right.
I have pre covid and post covid. I felt like an outsider looking in before 2020 but in 2022, almost 2023.. I feel like I literally died and got stuck in some kind of purgatory. I no longer socialize, every attempt to date results in either a bot trying to scam me, a chick trying to charge me money or sell me her "premium content" and should I occasionally get a legit woman sometimes, its always the same - things start off electric, we're both super engaged in conversing then 3 to 12 days later, they just ghost with no explanation. I can't even begin to detail my issues with this reality but it literally is the antithesis of everything I'm about. *and yes, a Twilight Zone episode just came on the radio as I got ready to press submit.*
