Mostly ignore people and go out into the woods in various ways.

Or read books.

I used to go out a lot but increasingly people IRL in my city are weird and hostile, like a lot of fediverse users, so it's just nicer to stay home than go outside and be harassed by a weirdo with a complex. Prior to '22 nobody ever came up to me looking to start a fight ever, since middle school. But basically every other month someone tries to start a fight with me on the street or at a restaurant now, it's insane. IME it feels like the insanity of online/social media rage/hostility is bleeding over into reality and people feel like they must tell random people they see IRL how much they hate them.

    Just go out. Go to bars, cafes, restaurants, movies, plays/concerts, etc and sometimes just hang out. Places also used to be open much later and they were much cheaper. I never got drunk.

    I had many places I'd go out regularly. a lot of them closed and got replaces by much more expensive places that cater to a ultra snobby crowd I don't want to be around.
