Need to remember that I am in control of myself, my projects, and the people I decide to surround myself with.
I don't have to like everyone or let everyone in. I don't owe absolutely EVERYONE in the world deep, attentive consideration, but simply basic courtesy.

The way I feel least fit in with the Destiny community is that while I DO consider myself good friends with many, that does not mean I'm inherently friends with everyone. No one is, and in my opinion, that thinking runs the risk of becoming an immature and unrealistic mindset.
My circle stays a certain size because I want to make sure that everyone at my table has enough. Enough of my time, enough of my care, my patience, attention, etc, etc.
That's all on me. Not you. Our lack of connection isn't necessarily a personal issue between us.

I hate that I feel like I have to remind the Whole Internet at least once a month that me not picking up networking or personable opportunities with people doesn't mean I'm (or anyone else is) actively trying to hate on you. Sometimes I need to remember that for myself, too.
Not everyone is on your vibe, and that's okay. Not every thread is there for you to follow, and that's okay. Not everything is for you, and that's okay.
Learn to intuit your way toward the path that serves you with the least amount of unfavorable consequence. You can practice this. Lean into the relationships, connections and opportunities that feel the most receptive. If you make a mistake in judging that, learn for next time.
Anyways, to reiterate, I (and you) decide where my (in your case, your) energy goes.
Remember that, and remember how important it is to respect other people's choices in this area.

Also, fwiw, there are plenty people around here who I very much would like to talk with but don't know how to go about it, or simply haven't felt the right way to connect. Could be because the opportunity hasn't arisen, or they just don't feel me.
And guess what? That's fine.

LAST POST! This thread was a lot, I'm sorry.
Just do you, be nice, and keep it real with yourself and other people. Cause no harm, take no shit, yadda yadda. Honor boundaries. Conserve yourself, nurture your needs and be wise. Compassion doesn't have to mean intimacy.
