@WhiteTemplar @Bronsai Take up old fashioned hobbies you can talk about with normies - gardening, pets, metal working, whittling, etc. It's hard to make conversation when all you can talk about is the latest Minecraft update. DON'T start watching normie tv and movies or the news.
It might help to create a persona which you can assume. Think about the kind of guy you want to be - solid, thoughtful guy who actively builds community, funny or quiet, whatever - and think about how you can act like that guy. "Time to be Future Me" every time until you ARE Future You and don't have to pretend. The fruits of the spirit are a good place to start when considering the kind of person you want to demonstrably be to those around you. What does it mean to be gentle and kind? How does that look for you?
