That's how I feel, I hate the all the nonsense that I'm forced to go through to do basically anything with people in any type of irl relationship. I wish that all communication could be as simple as buying something at a store, that is to say honest, direct/forthcoming about being transactional, and quick about paying for/receiving the end goal of the transaction.
I've been reading this book, "Game's People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis", and it's become even more clear to me that people expect me to go through what the book describes as "rituals" and "procedures", while the same people ultimately play mind games with me, when all that I want to do is make a sort of basic operational transaction. Now this idea has occurred to me before, I've known this about myself for years, but I never could've described it as concisely before reading this book. I wish that all communication could be of the kind that you most commonly see in text format, completely free from social dynamics where people try to dominate each other, free from cultural time wasting garbage, and entirely direct about the end goal of the communication.
It's because of this that I don't have any irl friends, nor do I desire any, and I'd almost certainly never be able to handle a relationship with a foid even if the opportunity did miraculously present itself.
