I saw this on infinity for Reddit earlier, I don't know if there's a workaround for this or not.

I really don't disagree with you, but it's so frustrating and tiring to try to work around all this stuff and use alternative tools that nobody else does, all while you're viewed as a paranoid tinfoil hat wearer. Yes I know I shouldn't care what other people think, but I also don't want to be alone forever.

Find a good girl that doesn't mind. Mine doesn't care at all, she has her interests and I have mine. I'll sit there and listen to her 5 minute lectures on makeup and perfumes, and every once in a while I'll tell her about a vulnerability or something cool I found, and I know she's paying as much attention as I do about makeup, but at least I can understand the basics of makeup without years of experimentation and learning.

True, it makes it harder to stay secure when people around you don't care or don't know how, but its still possible. Just have to set some solid boundaries sometimes.
