I can't tell whether this particular person is real, but I fully believe that there are thousands such people, if not more, in every developed country. I count myself among them. My social media interaction, other than Lemmy and Reddit, is limited to reading and writing 1000+ words long blog posts. I recently left our company's Christmas party after an hour when I realised I had nothing to talk about with the others - I don't know the current trends in movies, TV or music, and nobody in my work shares my interests. So, I may be perceived as just as weird (or endearing, as the ending suggests), even though I see myself as perfectly normal.

I think there are a ton of people who just aren't very online.

Tbh me too, but i develop websites for a living, so it wouldn't even be an option.

Not being able to relate to peers your age is fine but also not something to be proud of imo

I'm quite proud of not being able to relate to something I consider harmful and self-destructive.
