I think one of the biggest ways I'm alienated from the rest of humanity is that I think sports are a massive waste of attention. It's like a category error to emotionally invest in a contest that you can't influence and that has no impact on your life beyond your self-identification. Caring about a sporting event that you're not in is simply a mistake, in my view.
It's worth mentioning that I virtually never feel competitive. I feel competitive about really important adversarial situations in my personal life but basically I can't be bothered to invest in anything else. I don't play video games, I don't play cards, etc. I have my own athletics but those are for me. I think that playing for anyone else's interests is basically a giant bummer and ruins the sense of play.
