i no longer acknowledge other people's existence. wherever i go, it's basically like i'm going there alone and there's no one else but me. this actually removes a ton of psychological burden, no need to be self conscious, no need to care what other people think or whatever. if someone engages me, i just mirror their words and behavior usually. once you swallow the blackpill, you realize how perfunctory all social norms are. they're just meant to fulfill your own ego. just ignore other people, do what you want to do, and fully accept that others don't give a crap about you, because that's entirely true.
