This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

get very meticulous/competitive/analytical/meta-gamey but I do go to casual board game meet ups anyway because its “fun enough” and I can socialize occasionally.

You'd probably like some of my coworkers then. My boss let us do a "team building" activity playing Twilight Imperium, and we're all pretty analytical types. If you were in my area, I'd introduce you.

But failing that, you can try asking if anyone knows of other groups that plays something more your speed.

I’m usually tired after work

Totally fair. Is moving closer to the city an option? 1:30/day must suck, I do that 2x/week (40-ish there, often an hour home) and WFH the other two, and even that much gets old.

While I'm not neuro-divergent or anything, I am quite introverted and a little socially anxious, so maybe I understand some of what you're going through. Or maybe not, idk. But I do know that I need some amount of social interaction even though it's draining.

Anyway, good luck! I hope you find something that works for you.
