Yes all of that is unfortunately 100% normal.

I’d really advise trying to meet people IRL. Online dating is the absolute pits.

As I know how hard it is to meet people in real life since I have unsuccessfully tried it for 7 years, it is going to be beneficial for your wellbeing to find things you enjoy and keep trying to broaden your social network. OLD can really damage your mental well being in long stretches.

Leave OLD it's hopeless.
Totally not the same as it was 13-15 years ago.
Men aged 40+ are the worst of all.
For your own mental health, and to increase the chance of you meeting someone normal - it's real life or nothing.
