Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I resent growing up with technology. Wish I was forced into playing sports instead of being allowed to sit on the computer all day (hexbear.net)

I imagine having mainstream hobbies and interests would make me fit in more even if it’s just an illusion.

As someone who fits in but used to be an outcast, I can assure you, fitting in isn't about having mainstream hobbies, but proactively talking to people.

I still find going up to people and talking to them to be kind of scary, so the method I used was to join a college association I was interested in.

As for your hobbies, there is nothing wrong with having obscure hobbies, in fact, it makes for a great conversation topic. And unless your hobby is really out there, you could probably find a group that enjoys your hobby.

Of course, this assumes you have access to such spaces, which is not true for everyone.
