So, technically there's only 3 ways to play SOT

    To me it seems there's only 3 ways to play Sea Of Thieves, unless if I am wrong:

    1. Play with friends who you know from irl or from Discord who you have confirmed that these people are trustworthy and very co-operative. Which is impossible for some people like me (I always considered myself as a loser for lack of friends) when it's already hard to make friends irl and let alone someone who even has Sea Of Thieves. Even if your friend/friends has the game, does he/she/they even have time?

    2. Play with random players in Open Crews. Most of time everyone leaves crew right after joining crew even though nobody was trolling. Other times, trolls and annoying people, I also wanna quit. And when finally have crew that doesn't mess up, there's still lack of communication and agreement what to do and where to go. For example: crew member raises the anchor because wants to move on while another member drops the anchor because wants to stay, just complete lack of teamwork and understanding. Wasting time for hours to quit and re-enter a new crew over and over to find functional and helpful crew which is extremely rare.

    3. Screw crew, screw people, solo play. Lol, yeah... Except it's obviously hardcore when encountering another player ship, or reaper players. Solo is fun at times, but I don't need to explain any further.

    @delta-allon
    I wouldn't call solo-play hardcore. Sure it's more difficult, it takes longer to accomplish things, perhaps skip a few events &c; it can have its own challenges for sure.

    Main thing I do when I solo, is to try and stay away from other crews and when not doing hat, try to do other fun stuff.

    Perhaps try another discord ?
    Instead of open crews, try LFG and see if there is a crew doing things you're interested in. Try to fit in a nice crew instead of finding the "perfect" crew.

    @lem0n-curry other people say solo is hardcore and of course I stay away from other players whether they're crew or another solo, everyone is always far more professional or unnaturally fast and destructive.
    About finding a right crew is literally best crew by that meaning, as long as everyone focuses on same voyage and doing something good it's good crew enough. But finding a right crew is not that easy, there are many trolls in discord too.

    I play mostly with people I know from irl and play solo. I have recently started playing with some people from a discord community and have to say I've enjoyed it so far and this is coming from someone who is a complete social hermit.

    @delta-allon The Official Sea of Thieves Discord has a Looking for Crew feature and there are hundreds, if not thousands of people willing to help and play with people. You don't have to be buddy buddy or forge a lifelong friendship with them, just say what you need/want to do, be polite, and play the game, talk only if you need to if thats what you want. @a10dr750 Was simply saying how it can be easy and effective to use Discord SoT communities to look for crews, no need to be snarky.

    I'd simplify it even more.

    1. Either put in the effort to find a crew - many ways to do that.
    2. Or play solo.

    Don't like playing solo? Well put in the effort then. It's that simple. There are many social platforms from Discords to Reddit or Xbox LFG to find short term or long term crew mates. Open crew isn't bad either when you learn some leadership skills.

    Is this because you set expectations for others that often result in your disappointment? generally sensitive so happenings during interactions upset you often? other?

    You don't need to address those publicly just ponder them privately

    Nearly everyone has positive and appealing qualities that often go unnurtured.

    Imo the key to successfully finding compatible interactions isn't catering to others or enabling yourself it's identifying the positive parts of yourself that contribute to decency and nurturing them so they grow and become a larger part of your daily life which brings in others that compliment your existence, and yours theirs

    Once you try that process out you can start taking chances on people without expectations
    try different things, give things and people the opportunity to grow
    be patient but consistent and it will all work out
