[23/F]. Looking for a pen pal

Reddit Direct Messaging (not chat IM)

Hey! I don't usually post personal stuff but here it goes. I've been inside my house for over a year now. Not because I'm physically trapped, but because I'm mentally exhausted by a society that doesn't see me. I live in a place where every conversation revolves around religion, gossip or social expectations. I feel like i dont fit in. I dont resonate with most people around me and frankly, I've stopped trying to connect offline. I'm not antisocial, i just feel very chronically unaligned with the people around me. I'm looking for someone who also feels a bit like an alien or someone who thinks too much. Not forced positivity or small talk. But real things. If you're introspective, maybe a bit dark humoured, weird in a quiet way and looking to actually get to know someone, preferably someone 20-30, any gender, anywhere, please feel free to dm. My interests include philosophy (Camus, Kafka, Dostoevsky), gritty journaling, guitar/music, books (not colleen hoover or romance, i prefer fiction or non fiction that makes your brain ache in a good way).
