“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”
Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

I've come to the conclusion that the best way to quit bad habits and start good habits is to pair them, like goes with like, and then replace them one at a time. Figure out why you do The Bad Activity and what Good Activity would scratch the same itch. Wanting to start fights on the internet just for the sake of arguing either means you want social contact, and you should try catching up with friends instead, or you're in the need of intellectual stimulation, and you should try reading a book instead.
If you want to pick at something you're not supposed to pick at, give your hands something else that you're allowed to pick at. Dogs that don't have chew toys will chew on walls, and your hands have the urge to do things. If you're fiddling with stuff you shouldn't fiddle with, try gettin a stim toy. If a stim toy is insufficient and you still want to pick on your face or nails until they bleed, try finding a hobby that you do with your hands. Knitting, crafting, those adult colouring books, tearing unsalvageable old bedsheets into long strips and then braiding fabric strips for no reason.
And it doesn't have to be a 100% thing either. I've replaced roughly 30% of my fucking-around-on-the-internet-doing-fuck-all time with reading a silly book and painting Warhammer figurines, and I've been much happier.

the allergy i am seeing grow up around small talk in any form is troubling to me. do you know how to make friends with people in your physical environment? it typically starts with small talk. do you want to live in community? small talk. do you want to have the type of relationship with your neighbors where you can run over and borrow a battery for your smoke detector when it starts beeping at 10pm? small talk!! do you want leeway from your coworkers when you fuck up something small? you gotta be able to build a relationship and that's small talk, baybeee.
"but i don't need friends and i don't care about community!" okay, lone ranger, what about the people in your community who need you? "but i have social anxiety!" me too, bud! we simply must soldier on. making up lists of questions to ask people helps. and people are predisposed to be generous, i've found. even if you make some kind of mistake, what is this but the natural give and take of human interaction? nobody is perfect.
you were not put on this earth to live by yourself and then die. you need people and people need you. treat those around you with curiosity and generousness of spirit and you will gain so much goodwill in return.
