why does the world not pay any attention to the fact you can live in a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom aparmetn for ~500 a month and never go out to eat and spend minimum 70 bucks on groceries a month if youre really hardcore, depending on how much you want to work minimum wage what are the downsides of this lonely lifestyle?
Tradition is one of the reasons, since they taught us to follow steps. (most of) us live to compete, to prove/feel ourselves we're better than the others. skipping all the cultural/social bullshit u become a pariah and have to deal with all the normies pressure
Christopher Flores
this results in depression for most people.
Levi Reed
Most people seem to accumulate possessions over time for whatever reason and need space to store them
Also families.
Jacob Murphy
a dream to introvert people tho
Asher Stewart
>Also families
No one on Veeky Forums understands this little hitch in their "studio apartment $300 per month rent" plan. I pay $1500 a month because I have a house and 4 kids. Cram all of us in a studio and we'd die.
Gavin Evans
>4 kids Now this is a meme.
Cooper Bailey
describes me, but i like to spend more on groceries and eating out. its much more psychologically healthy than eating microwaved tendies every night
when i'm at the bar I'm thinking "I could be home playing video games". "This chair is uncomfortable"
the lifestyle doesn't suit most people. the more i try to deny it, the more I realize its the lifestyle for me.

Mental ill health, or exasperation of existing said ill health.
NB: Visiting that will extract your private keys and I will steal all your tokens, even if you have a paper wallet securely stored in your anus.

>bbc.com/future/story/20140514-how-extreme-isolation-warps-minds dont care about reading it but i can already tell this is about people who grew up close to their families spending every christmas and celebrating every birthday together mixed with spending weeks in a white room with 4 walls and no door
but how can this account for the fact of your social life on the internet

Why the fuck did you have a family while you have to work for a living? You're just teaching your kids to repeat the cycle that you learned from your parents.
Hudson Johnson
4 kids.. just.. why?
Jayden Edwards
>mfw I now only open links in incognito
Wyatt Hill
Or move to the dakotas where you pay that for a 2 bedroom house with a yard
Henry Watson
Close... Actually, no. More about psychological/neurological research into isolation, imprisonment, torture, underground living, with the usual BBC world view on shit.
I think the point is that the internet doesn't give you a social life. Well, not one that we have evolved to be conditioned for over centuries. It only gives you an approximation of a social life compared to what you are neurologically geared up for.
Kinda like what has happened to nutrition and the consumption of food-like products.
Nice little rabbit hole I could fall down here talking about people who feel inept in non-digital social situations, but I'm fucking tired and need to sleep before my daughter wakes up and demands breakfast at 3am.
This, ladies and gentleman, is why you should never have kids. I'd take solitary confinement over sleep deprivation any day.
Oh look, 100K Link.

That's not tradition, that's being human. We need to feel like we're getting somewhere and making progress. Stagnation is depression.
Thomas Torres
Im quite introverted, and have lived this lifestyle. I dont recommend it to anyone here, maybe short term if you are into that type of thing, but it will fuck you up the longer you isolate yourself
Ian Moore
If only I could get such a place for $500 per month
Easton Kelly
That's what I'll do if I don't make it.

YOU need to feel like you're getting somewhere and making progress. To YOU stagnation is depression.
Stop projecting your beliefs onto the world.

Ryan Reed

Zachary Hughes
>4 kids way to go, user. wish i had kids.
Angel Phillips
do you really need to live in that particular spot? bad people (jews) have made it hard to live the simple life in that area, but you have SO MANY PLACES THAT ARE INSANELY CHEAPER. mexico, just a few hours south, has rooms to rent for 75% off.
