I relate to so much of this! I'm glad you found some community where you are, and I hope you find more that fills you. I am still looking locally, though we travel out of town regularly to meet up with people and places that meet my need for authentic connection (and those of my kids).
I hate small talk. I’ve learnt to do it over the years but I’ll be honest, I find it tedious and boring! I’d much rather be real and have an interesting conversation, politics and all.
I feel that so much of what is considered ‘polite’ conversation is just lying to each other.

And totally in-authentic! The lack of realness as we try and not offend each other is staggering lol
