OK take some steps to go through this:
1. The great thing about hackerspaces is they get your ass out of the house, and if you find cool people, you will become less depressed.
Think back to the time you were a newfag. Remember when they told you to LURK MOAR? Do that. Don't be an edgy memetard right away, but listen to what people have to say and learn a few interesting new approaches on how to build shit. People appreciate it when they have someone who listens to them.
Then, toss a few vanilla funny memes here and there and SLOWLY edge closer to 8chan-level edgelordery. You will find redpilled people there, you simply need to find the right language. Don't spill spaghetti all at once right away.
2. Basically learn how to use the tools there, If you are smart, you will find an interesting project to work on.
Use Arduino as babby's first embedded controller and take the time to go through ALL of the labs, buy some breadboards and components or raid their stock.
BUY A PAPER LAB MANUAL on electronics, usually some small independent bookstore or Microcenter has one, so your ass doesn't get distracted by your screen while you have literally "designated work time." Shit it up as much as you like, you are learning. Later on buy a beagleboneblack or a linksprite ACADIA i.mx6, skip the memeberry pi as its both shit and botnet.
3. Learn bigger tools, like machining metal parts on a lathe or mill or woodworking with power saws. You will know more skills and earn a greater sense of accomplishment when you do this. Plush chicks dig a man who knows how to work with his hands.
Above all, meet people and try to keep in contact with them. They may have good ideas, but they also want you to have some good ideas too. Don't be afraid of the memey shit like quadcopter kits, they are legitimately clever, like the Alienwhoop, where you can even attach a camera and fly it around fpv style. Don't be afraid to got to events, but tread lightly. Once you have enough support, or time spent working, you can actually start to enjoy a certain amount of influence in the hackerspace, and you can become an oldfag pretty quickly, and even hold office, with perks like free membership or control over hardware procurement. TBH I wish we had a smarter CTO: the tranny in question (yes there are trannies there, you will have to infiltrate hackerspaces to change them from the inside) had a chance to spend a decently low price for 10G speeds plus a backup line before it was gonna come out, and it would have seriously put us on the map for collabs with big shots, maybe even would have turned us into an incubator. Xir messed up big time, and we are still in the doldrums because of it.
Oh yeah, these things are a sausagefest: https://pumpingstationone.org/2019/01/growth-and-churn/
Don't be surprised if the "girl" you are talking to has a dick, but then most trannies are brianna wu-tier anyway
