OP isn't wrong, it's the reason I came off social media years ago & I've been so happy since

Browsing social media gave this false illusion that people were constantly out having the time of their lives, every single day.

I just constantly felt like I had to try and do the same, that my life was boring and miserable. The reality is that I was doing and having more fun than most people based on conversation, social media was just painting a very false picture of people's day to day lives.

There is groups of people that will out right ruin your life because they believe it somehow improves their own. But they are statistically a very small portion of the population. So long as you avoid the " energy vampires" and stick to the Normie's, you are likely fine to go out and make friends just; shower, manscape/ladyscape, be friendly, and people will likely respond to you positively. However; if you are out being curteous, friendly, generally positive, and people are reacting negatively, congrats you found energy vampires. If it keeps happening you are being hunted by energy vampires. If it only happens around certain friends, those friends at best are energy vampire familiars and they are dragging you to be fed on. Be aware, and always keep in mind nothing is stopping you from leaving. I've known more than a handful of people including myself that decided it was better and safer to just walk 20-30miles in the middle of the night rather than enduring the people they were with. It may not be fun to do all that walking, but spending energy on a easy exercise like walking is better than spending emotional energy on people that just want to hurt you to get a buzz.
