another place to avoid

I'll join a community, and at first it's great, but as time passes and I see how well everyone gets on with each other and how little any of it has to do with me, how it feels like a closed palisade of friends I have nothing to contribute to, I'll grow increasingly unhappy and lonely, until I want nothing to do with it anymore.

I used to feel the same way about the internet, but at length I realized that the internet is not really a community.

Fair enough, though I've had the same feeling in real-life gatherings.
