I need help… I keep draining my energy on arguing with infidels.
Today I spent hours arguing against abortion with a non-believer girl online, and then with my non-believer friend. I made the mistake of posting against sexual immorality & abortion into an 'unpopular opinion' group on a stupid app to see if I get at least one positive reply and I received so much hatred it's not even funny anymore. It literally got to me and I got very angry with the world.
I know I keep bringing this stuff on myself, and I'm trying not to hang out on shitty apps and stuff like that anymore… but then even your close friends spit in your face and make fun of your Lord…
When I think about the fact that I'm gonna get a job soon and I'll have to deal with people who don't believe on a daily basis and with the same people, I'm getting very freaked out. I just wanna retreat to a monastery honestly. I absolutely hate this world and I hate myself so much for being like those people in the past…
Does anyone else understand how I feel? Is it a sin that I feel like this? Any verses/words of encouragement and advice on my situation, brothers?
Btw I'm full of shit, by "in the past" I wanted to say that I still struggle with sexual sin myself, but I HATE it when people openly promote it and make parades out of sexual immorality and judge and spit in your face when you preach the truth.

Stop doing that.

I've been thinking a lot and idk… I need to get more used to the Church and with praying for the biggest part of the day, and attending both morning and evening services at my local Orthodox monastery. I need to do these constantly and then go live in a monastery for a while to try out that life completely.
I know user… it's done me more bad than good. But it's like most of the people in my life, including my closest friends are all non-believers.

Find new friends. Go to church regularly and attend church functions.

Let me help you put your abortion stance in a better light…humanity today lives in a state of (relative) peace that is entirely based on how many nuclear weapons we are pointing at each other. In other words this is quite literally hell.
So with that in mind…1) how can anyone with a righteous mind put a child into this scenario and 2) why would you take the only chance a child has to escape this hell unscathed?

This.
It's healthy to hate the evil and injustice that engulfs our society, but it's no reason to go off the handle. It's also just as valid to take deep joy in the countless good and beautiful things that do exist, and will never not exist. In the face of people who reject the good for evil you can at least rest assured it's nothing Christ himself never suffered. You can't change others and that's completely fine. You can, however, change yourself, and that's a great fact.
This. But don't forget that talking about politics with females is even more retarded. A woman's world is her husband, her family, her children, and her home. An unmarried woman of voting age (that's not a nun) is a non-entity. She has no place in the world, and her opinions on any matter are useless, especially when it's political matters. Steer clear and keep your sanity.

… I bet women are just crawling all over each other to get with you.
