Start a Meetup; go to events that interest you or at least won’t bore you to tears. It gets so much better if you just give it time.

They cry: Today’s culture is everyone is offended all the time!! No one can make jokes!! No one can even be themselves!! Thought police!!! Everyone just wants to be offended all the time!! How did I end up in this crazy world!!
It’s all just the same two sentences: I don’t like it when I’m not frequently told I’m special. I have an extremely low tolerance for feeling uncomfortable.
I feel like I’m pretty clear on why a group of people would resist change by building straw men and claiming it’s actually everyone else who are being the *real* snowflakes. What I don’t understand is why someone would admit to being part of this totally fake reality or even join it in the first place.

South Park was about confronting absurdity and being your own person regardless. It’s an excellent show to cultivate giving entrenched narrow minded folks a poke in the eyes.
(Family Guy is not my bag, boring and not funny, so I can’t speak to any appeal it might have on its fans.)
Look, the root behind “no one can take a joke!” is what you’d expect. People who are used to have their feelings considered first are upset all out of proportion when that doesn’t happen. So they get angry and make statements like always-never-everyone-no one. Their world is them. They’re not used to being challenged for lazy thinking. Rather than (1) accepting other people disagree or (2) reconsidering if they are being lazy or thoughtless, they developed an outrage culture. They decided to double down on feeling special by insisting it was *everyone else* who was being unreasonable....

Once you’ve gotten that far, you have two paths. If you’re controlling, you start trying to control others. If not, you start trying to see and meet people where they are. For me, it came to be that I found other people were doing stuff and it was interesting. I’m way more stacked up with skills to get along than when I tried to ‘make friends’ as a kid, so I’m building up the arsenal to be a highly skilled old person who can easily and without mistakes help people feel happy and accepted. That’s my whole deal. It will probably be my whole deal until I die. Except when I’m wasting time, backtracking, indulging in self-defeating behavior, and partaking of every mortal sin, of course! lol

You get bored of hating people, so you start finding them interesting instead.
I know this sounds preachy or bratty, but that’s my fr straight answer. You run your own life more, so you carve out space to do your own thing. Once you have that, you eventually get bored and start looking around outside it for good or interesting things.

Well.....you could record static or high-pitched crinkle feedback. (The kind of sound a speaker/mic makes when its all the way up but not being used yet.) Then you can play that at various volumes to see what’s most effective at getting the room quieted. It should be effective because that kind of noise is unsettling.
I think you just mean you want an enforceable physical zone of peace, achieved without noise cancelling headphones, and that won’t help you there. I agree it’s an awesome dream, though.

@under_fire Yes, the original meaning was the second sentence; it’s a pun. I looked through my family history and discovered crazy people.
However, I’m now all taken up by the masturbation angle. It made me laugh. That’s a high quality pun; works on multiple levels. Good...job? :D

It’s a button that pushes in at the top. Once I figured that out, I would push it in and the lights would go off. I felt sooooo much more clever than is reasonable.

You have to stop using that word, and associating with people who use that word. It’s just to control you by preying on your fear and reactivity.
It surpasses your logical brain and keeps you stupid. I understand it feels not-terrible to be mindless but it’s not a human’s native state.
This word is not good for your soul. Leave it.

That uncertainty can keep you in a cycle where you’re not sure. Maybe the relationship is/was great. Maybe I’m just paranoid, maybe I wasn’t fair. I just need to adjust, like he says. That’s where you get expressions like ‘Girl, stop wasting your time and makeup money on crying. RU dating a man or jalapeño juice?’
