How many of you guys are those confident masculine loners in college?

What did you do when you had seminars? And presented stuff? And you where alone? Did you not feel vulnerable?

>feel for the school-means-smart meme
School is work

Yeah. A lot of desperate people try to make friends literally in class, instead of just getting their work done and getting out. Normal people talk to people in between classes or when they see them at the college bar.

I tried making friends. Instead, everyone else became friends and excluded me. I am a failed normie. I tried and failed.

I think it is due to me being weird. And I am weird cause I never got to socialize. An evil circle.

Let me explain something to you-
Most people, are retards, and so depending on them would bring such results.
People that actually care about getting shit done would rather not deal with it.

>Does masculinity and exercise remove the stress of being alone?
what the fuck is "stress of being alone". you americans make me sick

Normies crave company like food or water, they go out of their mind too long without it.
Women especially, if I had a dollar for every time I heard a woman say that she 'can't handle being alone', who been with 20 guys by age 17.

I hate using this kind of speech butnit really applies here. Lurk moar. Just like on the internet, you need to do this in real life if you want to fit in. Don't walk into a conversation with normal people if you aren't up to date with the things they like. Eg don't talk to a sports fan if you don't even take the time to watch sports every now and then.

drink alcohol. meet other drunk people. keep hanging out with them after they've sobered up. now you have friends

There was this one Veeky Forums guy called Nick in my history class - I tried so hard to find him, but no facebook no internet footprint no anything

he had a nice watch and he never made eye contact with anyone

also refused to eat cookies which we had in class every wednesday

I strongly suspect he browses this board

Fitting in is a losing strategy. The right way to attract friendships and create deeply meaningful connections with people is to just be yourself. Your authentic personality will naturally attract people to the extent you're also willing to repel people. Own your fucking weirdness.

>no internet footprint
that's a pretty gay way to say he didn't have social media. I doubt your leet hacker skills went futher than googling his name

I went through the college database and I found his surname all that.. s-sorry

what I meant is just there wasn't anything, at all

>refused to eat cookies

Oh boy, he was definitely from here.

I have no internet footprint either except a humongous folder of anime reaction pics on my computer ama

>as if such absolute retards would make it into the work force
Believe me, they do.

>My class was full of rednecks, niggers
>as if such absolute retards
and you. you got into the same school as them. you're rightfully grouped up with them. don't think you're any better than your classmates.

> Browse Veeky Forums
> Refuse to eat cookies everyone keeps bringing to class

Is there some kind of relation between browsing Veeky Forums and not eating cookies every god damn day?

Probably not seeing as to how I browse Veeky Forums and eat cookies every god damn day.

He was like an 8/10 although around 5ft 7 and he got put to sit next to a fat feminist

she was telling me later how he randomly just moved away to an empty seat and said he didnt want to speak to her

but then again he never spoke to me either even though he sat nearly opposite, who knows, who knows..

I am just a loser who enjoys lifting

>feel vulnerable

What are you, gay?

Nah, it's just betas who think that lifting will make up for their autism. Only it doesn't.

I hate group assignments. Sometimes they're forced
on us here and I just know I'd be so
much better off solo.

obviously that depends on who is in the group, but generally i agree

This is the dumbest post I've seen on Veeky Forums today and it's only 10:00 a.m.

>implying he isn't right
They tested into the college just like you did. And to follow up with that, you chose to enroll in a class filled with the people you're calling stupid.

i'm not confident but people have all but told me i'm arrogant and aloof, even though i'm incredibly insecure (stereotypical Veeky Forumsizen really). i'm pretty sure it's because i'm decent looking but just don't socialise with people on my course, if i'm in uni it means i'm there to work, not chat. plus i don't really enjoy normie activities, i don't like watching sport, don't watch the tv shows all the normies like to watch.

a lot of people who lift really are autismo, it's not a meme. it's just a happy coincidence that an activity that allows you to build muscle and gain a lot of strength is one that appeals the most to people who have a lot of focus and drive (i.e. not normies) and doesn't require socializing to do.

>Did you not feel vulnerable?

lol why the fuck would you feel vulnerable? let me guess, you're a freshman, right? it gets easier, presentations etc. are the same as everything else, they require practice to get good at. very few people are good at them to start with, and once you get a job you sure as shit won't be presenting in groups all the time.

Who the fuck brings cookies to class everyday? Is this an American thing?

My college is 50% affirmative action admittees , so I end up doing all the CS assignments alone bc niggers can't code for shit.

Sounds like he had autism. Yep, he definitely browses.

I bring an apple from the dining hall to class everyday and hand it to the professor, but that's just because I'm trying to fuck her.

I'm in a Dutch university but the international students there (Americans included) just keep on bringing cookies

every

single

day

And everytime I decline they go "oh come on one cookie isn't going to hurt you". But there can be no cookies for me. I must have zero tolerance. I cannot allow it, I must remain ever vigilant.

The no eye contact but is pretty gay

College entrance exams are only for shitty state schools for rejects that couldn't get into top tier schools. Thanks for letting us know where you came from

> Reddit
Being yourself is perfectly fine for close friends, but if you just want to have water cooler talks then just make up shit.

The fuck? Colleges test applicants literally everywhere in the world.

A apple a day keeps the tfw no gf away amiright?

Stupid people always major in communications or business.

Being a beta brown-nose little bitch is totally gonna get you laid dude.

lmao not for good courses in yurop, it's the interview and your high school grades that matter here

Im in computer science/engineering. All of the guys in my class are /robots and /pol-tards. I used to be like them but i got yolked, got a better haircut, got into skincare and bought clothes and found myself a nice qt3.14 GF. I have my own app company that sells the answers and solutions to a lot of highschool/collage textbooks, so i make more than enough money to drive a nice car and have a nice apartment.
Most people think im a chad. But im pretty lonley desu. The poeple in my class are intimidated by me, the only friends i have are my GFs acquaintances whom most i hate.

I tried making friends, but pretty much everyone who actually shows interest turns out to only want me for my contacts and money. "Oh hey wanna grab some dinner and come see a movie? and by the way im looking for investors for my startup!"
I have 2 years left of my education, which im only finishing for personal pride reasons. But i eat out pretty much everyday since i don't have anyone to sit with, so going in and having lunch with my GF and her friends is my only option other than sitting by myself in the library doing homework.

Did you get bullied in grade school? Being aloof is how I get the bullying to stop but it kept me from developing actual social skills. Now I'm a socially-challenged young adult whose life consists of work, sleep, and Veeky Forums.

>everybody goes to college land
>implying it's not filled with actual dumbasses who shouldn't be there

I know it will. The joke mostly works because giving apples to the teacher is an antiquated joke at this point, so she loves it.

when you are alone, lifting is one of the few things that makes you happy. also, no social life means you have to fill your time with positive things, cause killing yourself is obviously the wrong choice.

source: am alone mostly, but very fit

for most STEM courses at cambridge and imperial you're given an offer based on an interview and your A levels, people don't get into those places if they're "dumbasses", they might be naive but they're not idiots.

no i was a sperg who got on with everyone pretty well, there was no point in bullying me because it usually went over my head. i'm not aloof, that's just how people seem to view me now that i'm Veeky Forums

It's true, people make assumptions on you based on the way you look, you do, i do, everyone does. If you're good looking people will assume that you are this stud/CHAD who gets all the girls, has no problem making freinds, could be the center of attention if he wants, etc.. This is the guy people are drawn to. Therefore, if you appear stand offish, whereas someone who isn't the best looking will appear shy/quiet you will appear as though you think you're too good for them. You can use this to your advantage.

>if i'm in uni it means i'm there to work, not chat. plus i don't really enjoy normie activities, i don't like watching sport, don't watch the tv shows all the normies like to watch.
This is a terrible mindset, i'm sure you don't mean it you're just looking for an excuse not to socialise, i've been there too. You're in uni for like 3-4 years might aswell enjoy it, most people can pass uni and socialise you can too. Also i'm sure there are things you enjoy you're just being defeatist. I mean tv shows c'mon, there must be 1 you like.

>a lot of people who lift really are autismo, it's not a meme. it's just a happy coincidence that an activity that allows you to build muscle and gain a lot of strength is one that appeals the most to people who have a lot of focus and drive (i.e. not normies) and doesn't require socializing to do.
This is absolutely true, you can use lifting as your way to unwind or release stress.

Just smile, be freindly, engage in conversations, make eye contact and say "hi" when walking past someone you know. It will work wonders for you.

You can do it my man, you already have the tools. We're all gonna make it.

He definitely has or does come here

The Oxbridge universities have entrance tests for their more prestigious subjects (including law, medicine, biomedical sciences, chemistry, physics, maths, the classics and so on) as do many other Russell Group universities.

Yeah, but quick reminder that 90+% of staff is also retarded, so that's still not a guarantee to escape mongoloids

Actually, I live In England, not America
And only my history class had cookies, no other class

I am from Poland but it seems pretty nice and normal

Communication and accounting are the useless degrees

>as if such absolute retards would make it into the work force

Wait until you get a job

you're right, i forgot about that and was only basing it on my experiences applying for ChemE at cambridge, i'm fairly sure they don't have entrance tests for the other engineering disciplines though. i've not heard of any other places apart from medical schools having entrance tests though.

t. Unemployed business major

Yeah sure m8, she probably only pretends to put up with you and your autism, she is likely cringing internally every time you show up to class with a red delicious.

This is fairly true, but the upside is that the teacher tends to round out the grade, since they dont expect much from group assignments.
Especially if its obvious that at one least person put effort into the work.
>At least thats what happened to me, because im the only one who worked on "group" papers.

They're not loners, they're just guys who have their priorities straight. I never made friends with anyone I didn't know outside of class. For me, the class work was just something that had to be done to get a degree that I could say that I had when it was required. My career has benefited more from my social connections and skills learned on the job.

This lol.

I don't really like groups for working. I don't even really like groups, but I still have some friends I hang out with. I feel like I'm the guy that sometimes avoids people and stays home alone while his friends go have fun, but I'm alright with that.

Confidence is easy to fake, and after you fake it long enough you get comfortable being that loner-type person. In my case, at least, people seem to think I know what I'm doing, but really I just don't want to tell anyone that I'm just as lost as they are.

>as if such absolute retards would make it into the work force.

Confirmed for never having worked a day in your life.

Im this feeling.
Its a hazy/melancholy/freeing type of thing

accounting is used a lot of places, such as everywhere

It goes back to what this guy is saying.

They want to get shit done. They're fit because they get shit done. So they know that they depend on themselves only to get their goals obtained.

I'm one of the lonely fit guys in college but I prefer it that way. Mostly cuz I have a gf and don't like being tempted with all the social shit. Girls ask for my number and to their parties all the time but I don't want any part of that.

I'm there to get my grades and get out so I can continue to be successful.

I think anyone who behaves like that shares that mindset. People
Slow you down.

Grades mean nothing after college. Work on meeting the right people

I'm a personal trainer so I do meet a lot of wealthy people through my clients.

I get connections that way.

I actually made some pretty decent connections through being a personal trainer. People stop me In public and ask for advice sometimes, so I guess I naturally have a way of meeting the right people.

Either way, solid advice.

Literally the most important part of college is making enough connections to get your first real job.

Depends on where you want to work, but in some fields it's almost essential to have a 3.5 if you want to find an entry level job.

tabletop and towel look strangely warped

her butt is so heavy it creates gravitational lens?

I really don't know but in uni somehow every group I got into or encouraged to form up ended up getting best results and made everyone else jealous.

It really depends on the people you get along with and your own social skills. I've got dumped into random groups of people a handful of times and our presentations usually turned out to be the best since either I had to take care of all the work or managed to encourage everyone to work together. There is no better feeling than seeing the lazy bunch slowly start fidgeting and feel bad about themselves when they are not doing any work and eventually submit to the pressure.

>group project
meaning doing other peoples work while they play on their phones

This. Anyone who blames their group for their project not being good has got shit social skills. People need to just take charge if the group isn't working well together.

I hate to break it to you, but you're going to have to get used to group projects once you get a real job.

Implying I'm not a 29 year old neet

It was a genuine shock to get into the workplace and have teams where everyone actually did the work.

this nigger knows what he's talking about

>red delicious

CONFIRMED FOR PLEB

Right? They taste like cardboard.

Extroversion. Most people get their energy from being social.

Are you a Polish intellectual?

>living in a group-free bubble
>being this deep into denial
You're not gonna make it, brah.

Groups of mostly girls are great because you just take charge and tell them what to do

In my experience girls are more likely to want to take charge of group projects.

We went to college and attended class to get an education, not friends.

Fuck group work.

>We went to college and attended class to get an education, not friends.

lol no

see

>. Anyone who blames their group for their project not being good has got shit social skills. People need to just take charge if the group isn't working well together.

Still, being the leader and having to argue, convince and encourage people to do work is far more time-consuming and frustrating than doing things alone. I personally hate it when people always ask me what they should do or are constantly asking for my approval.
