Wondering if getting to know people is worth it

The more I try the more I'm finding I don't know if it's worth trying to connect with people. it takes a lot of emotional energy for me to connect with someone and for them to just abruptly decide to stop talking to me and not say hey this bothers me . No one seems to want to be honest and real anymore. Somehow I expect trolls/rude people to respond in a way to upset me so whatever.

I think if you look at the popular things on sw - the stuff that gets lots of replies, interaction, et al, I think you'd find a tendency for it tend towards light, shallow, bordering on meaningless things. putting lots of effort into here with the awful feed settings, the general malaise of the user population, and the 'reward' system that's developed to encourage light, shallow, meaningless interactions and I think you can't help but be disappointed with results.
