I think I agree with your observation. Simple example: I tried reducing hobbies to image printing in alternative photography: CMYK… simple except that no matter what store you visit everyone already bought the M magenta. Specifically M122 quinacridone magenta because it’s transparent and permanent lightfast. It doesn’t matter little thing we do, the orange asshole at the wheel is working to fuck it up. Now thanks to inflation I have to think about not retiring and maybe a second job. Just don’t get sick until you bite the dust. Anyway, I think maybe you should just be as open-minded as possible to understand each misfortune for what it might be so you can adjust the way you are or expect. Like getting ghosted by a friend… maybe you are way tooo much and they can’t stand it. Maybe they changed something like got a girlfriend or boyfriend that doesn’t really like you. Maybe they got a second job?
