Replying to How do you guys handle loneliness and depression?

Hey all, haven’t been in here in a long time. I live in SLC and also go to school in Utah. The resorts are super chill here but I’m really struggling with the culture in SLC and in skiing generally. I’ve always struggled to make any sort of meaningful friendships (literally don’t know anyone not even as a connection) despite my hobbies and of course skiing. I’m really seeing the hypocrisy lately in the sense that there seems to be a big thing about how “oh we are so open minded and accepting” in the ski community. But despite my interactions with it, I can only say that I have experienced rejection and isolation. If I offer to take ppl up they only want me for the free ride and could care less about me as a person. I get that my personality type isn’t too popular but geez ppl just be so judgmental. Also wondering what you all do about depression besides skiiing? I already steer clear of drugs and alcohol as it is and it’s still intense. I want friends in this community and would love to have more genuine connections in it and to support it, but when I don’t get support and connection from it I feel as though I don’t contribute.
