What to do

[MisterJH]

Theres no motivation for me to play this game. I love it but its just virtually nonexistant where i live, theres one shop thats pretty shitty, that usually ends up having an 8 person draft on saturdays if were lucky, and runs STANDARD only FNM. The people there are largely creepy as well. I just am lost, cockatrice is boring now theres no face to fce interactions and is full of netdecks, and theres no way toget feedback or trade or BS with the other player, its just so boring now.. Im gettin sad i just have no way to enjoy this game anymore

You could try MTGO. At least there you can trade and people can't just use whatever they want. Another option is to drive an hour or so, I am sure you can find a good shop within that range. I love in a small town with a shop that is the same as yours, but now I am carpooling with a friend to go to a better shop a half hour away.

Up in my area of LA we have MNM magic with at least one standard pod at one store
A tues standard at another
Wednesday is legacy
Thursday my main store has at least 2 pods drafting.
Friday FNM is usually standard but yesterday we did a chaos draft since low turnout. Everyone chose 3 packs for $8, and we drafted from RTR to BNG. All random packs. Was truly a blast.

I hate online magic and no theres no shops within range lol, theres only 1 shop period an its this one and its pretty awful

On the wizards store locator there are a bunch of stores 20-25 miles from you.

Maybe find a few people you can deal with and make your own play group.

Have you thought about playing Magic on Skype? You have to use actual cards you have and you can interact with people, via the camera. Also try your local school/college/university, as they seem to have a thriving Magic community of players. That is how I broke the ice, myself to find new local players, here in N. California. Give it a shot, and let me know.

I mean noone at my high school does im going to stick to drafting at the crappy store until i can afford a modern deck then itll be worth the drive

You're in HS
Once you're able to be more independent and somewhere further away ala college, you will find more individuals with the same MO as yourself, high school is not the melting pot it seems to be.

[MisterJH]

Well they have kids who play in my school but thats the issue, different MOs, its just hard to find people i gel with who also play mtg :/ theres 2who are alright but the rest of my friends who played quit for the same issue im having, most of the mtgers arent the have fun party type etc etc

Im trying to be nice and politically correct about this idk how to better explain it

[MuggyWuggy]

You just have to have drinking games with mtg, then you're no longer a nerd.

Also wearing contacts instead of glasses and having braces during middle school helps

[MisterJH]

Haha idt thats the problem :p
