I just got to a point where I couldn’t handle the abuse from family, being betrayed by my ex of 7 years, serious health issue, and noone wanted to help me through it regardless of what kindness I showed them in the past.
Have a good night.
Let’s break it down.
First, what kind of ‘peace and security’ are you going to have without other people? Even if you manage to amass a vast fortune, you’ll need some kind of caretakers.
Second, you act as if every single person you interact with is out to get you. You had a lousy family and apparently one adult relationship that floundered after 7 years. That sounds about average, tbh.
As for your health issues. Have you looked for support groups of people with the same problem?
Change is slow. It takes decades of evolution to gestate a revolution.
Interacting with people is like any other skill. If you don’t do it badly at first, you’ll never get to the point where you can do it well.
I was an isolator who got a job where I was dealing with everyone in a public health facility. By ‘everyone’ I mean everyone from doctors and police to homeless schizophrenics.
It was sink or swim, but I got the skills.

No. You have to go into the water first to learn how to relax and float. Then you can learn a good technique.
In the immortal words of Mike Tyson, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.”
No matter how much you study, landing in the water will change everything.
The Stonewall Riots occurred in 1969. Star Trek’s controversial interracial kiss was a big scandal a few years before. The movie “The Legend of Nxxxxr Charlie” was shown and advertised all over the country. The movie “Midnight Cowboy” got an X-rating with zero nudity and one off screen man on man blowjob.
Sorry, I think you’ve got it backwards.
Everyone’s brain is wired differently.
otoh, people in both eras used gas powered cars, telephones, telegraphs, and manual typewriters. They could both go to movies, ride trains, and take ocean voyages.
A person from 1903 would need a few days to adapt themselves to 1969 technology.
But someone from 1969 coming into 2025 would be lost. Most people in 1969 didn’t use credit cards, and had never seen an ATM. They used rotary phones and antenna TV.
And you’ll get to meet some people who enjoy what you like! Win/win!
“The Road Less Travelled” by Harry Turtledove.
A spaceship lands on the White House lawn. Our scientists are positive that it’s not from our solar System; it must have a Faster Than Light drive of some sort.
The military is ready to face them, but the generals have little hope, because if they have FTL, the rest of their weapons must be equally advanced.
The aliens come out on horseback, shooting arrows and throwing spears.
Turns out, every other race in the Galaxy has FTL, and we’re the schnooks who never figured it out.
Check with the local parks department. There are nature hikes that teach people about the local biology.
Joke.
My buddy had gotten a job in a posh part of town. He told me that one of the unexpected benefits was that every woman he saw was dressed to impress with perfect hair, makeup, and clothing.
“Joe, you gotta get over this sick fetish you have for women who bathe every day.”

Two students are talking and one says that according to the book she’s reading, mentally healthy people can recall stuff from before they knew how to speak. She asks the other what his earliest memory is?
“I remember being very nervous the first day of high school.”
Terrible, terrible place.
I was so much happier when I realized that Staples had almost as much tech stuff. Staples staff answers all my dumb questions clearly and never tries to oversell.
Why did it mean a lot to you? If you don’t mind sharing.
They didn’t make me a manager until I had been on the job for over a decade.
One day I look at an old favorite, “The Dirty Dozen.”
Early on, the Major is ordered to meet with the General, who tells him he has to train twelve condemned prisoners for a suicide mission behind the German lines. The Major obeys the orders, but opines that whoever came up with the plan must be insane. The General tells him to shut up and go; then the General tells his staff that the idea is insane.
Then the Major has to meet the troops and convince each man that it’s in his best interests to join the mission.
Being given stupid orders and then having to lead a bunch of psychos and idiots to achieve the goal is the essence of being a middle manager.
