How has your RPG heart been crushed recently?

I'm an forever GM with no friends that can commit to a schedule and all my FLGS groups are just min-maxing Pathfinder Society players who have no interest in the RP part. It's basically/tg/ hell.

Update.
I am still in this game at this very moment.
The session culminated with an important negotiation against a critical NPC. After ~45 minutes in real time of my character negotiating with this NPC (because the others were hardly being helpful in this), expending resources to do so, and coming to a peaceful resolution, one of the other PCs declared that they attacked the NPC.
I tried to stop this, but ultimately could not. The GM went along with it.
Everything went to hell from there, sparking a bloody battle.
My character has opted to stay out of this, and I will probably be leaving the game afterwards.
Why did the GM allow that many players?

I guess he was lonely.
btw you should've left that game already. Either that or start trolling people.

The same thing happens to me user, every game Im in doesnt last more than 3 weeks, either the GM doesnt respond, the game is cancelled for personal reasons or most of the players leave
