Who here just keeps to himself and doesn't socialize? Do you dislike it in general?

Yup. I'm schizoid, look it up since you might be too. I'm actually pretty good at socializing and being charming, but I almost never do it because there's not much point, I don't get any satisfaction out of it. Haven't really had friends in about 4 years now.

literal whores
I haven't been with a girl that I didn't directly pay for sex in years. only ever happens if the girl approaches me first, and basically hounds for my dick with no games involved. No subtly, no dumb small talk, none of that subhuman shit. last girl that did this wasn't too good looking but I wasn't doing much that day so I fucked her in my car.

whores are where it's at. you just call them, set up a meet (I always do the earliest they can and set it a week or so before hand just to make sure I am their first client of the night), get there, hand them half the money up front, fuck them however I want, indulge some fetish shit, pay the other half and leave.
thinking of saving up to go to Amsterdam to smoke pot in a coffee and then fuck a thicc choco bunny in the red light district

I just don't understand normie stuff
> sports are boring
> drinking is lame
I just talk to my small group of anime friends

I'm starting to think that I will be forever a hermit, but have grown more and more accepting of the idea.

I just don't relate with most people, I don't mean to say that I think I'm better but the people at work, the people at uni jesus everybody that I'm forced to talk to sounds like the same record on repeat.

>Hey did you see the latest insert teamsport game?
>Oh man I'm so wasted from last night bro yeah, I drank so much at that party bro.
>Insert whatever fucking cringey ass thing is the next dab or fidget spinner craze
>Have you seen that documentary on netflix about how we should totally tear down one of the few remaining pillars of society because of tolerance
>Insert whatever negrobeats song is popular, blared into open air on their phones and through their 2000$ sound system in their car.

I try to get underneath the surface with these people, but there is nothing to dig into, every bit of their personality is worn on the surface.

this. im from south usa so everyone is retarded as fuck.

"hur dur hillary sucks cuz shes a woman right guys"

dont post that guy on an autist thread. he is an ex fatty that rakes pussy on tinder like crazy

Too many fedoras in this thread.
>no one is interesting but me

>every bit of their personality is worn on the surface.
eh, for many yes
mostly it's just that people don't see a point in truly relating with others anymore
so all you will ever see is that fake mask they put on just to get through the day. most people feel the same way you do, they're just more conditioned to put in the work to appear normal and make that asinine small talk

This is truth, this is exactly how everyone at my job is.... I felt bad about not having friends or being sociable till this realization set in, 95% of people are hollow shells

He said that he keeps to himself.

I moved to a new city and literally dont know anyone

Visit the same bar a few times.

>from old wealth
>hide my powerlevel pretty well
>parents send me to different state to see if I can make it on my own
>literally don't talk to anyone at either gym I go to because they can't do anything for me

I'm use to being alone and don't have a problem with it but I already got bored of the mires in the gym and now just go to workout. It's pretty amusing now watching people try to show off for others though.

>HEY MAN YOU SEE THE GAME LAST NIGHT

>uh... heh... no...

>Oh lol well nvm

I wouldn't say I find myself interesting but I don't enjoy the company of others, because i'll have to put up a fake persona of social interaction which means making small talk about the weather, work-life and other topics that just makes me want to bring out the rope.

Yeah that's probably true for some. I'm pretty good at making small talk with people though, I can even shoot the shit with people even if I have disdain for their interests. I just try to relate to them and be a genuine person and most of them end up liking me, inviting me out to bars, parties, or just over to their place for beers and watching a negroball game.

Eventually I just start flaking out on these people, at a certain point I just get worn out and become a recluse again. I feel genuinely bad for leaving some of these people, because some of them become really fond of me (i dont know why).

I don't feel like going through the whole process over and over just to find out that in fact there isn't much underneath the everyday normie facade, and I end up essentially dumping people who were otherwise decent human beings and feel like a total asshole in the process.

and do what?

have a drink by myself and go home?

>eavesdrop on two gymbros having a conversation
>it's so painfully boring and trivial that you want to kill yourself

The guy was telling the other guy about how his headphones broke so he had to get new ones

"Yeah my old phones stopped working so I had to get some new ones but then when I get the new ones right the plug is a different size so I can't charge them"

Who gives a fuck holy shit

Rent a ladyboy?

i dislike it

i keep to myself because I'm not good at conversations, i dont have anything interesting to say. others know I'm not good at conversing too

>ask coworker how his weekend was
>he tells me it was good
>another coworker asks him
>he gives details and tells a funny story

>tfw no friends
what do?

>(i dont know why).
probably because you're a Grade A phony cock sucker who pushes all the right buttons to please them and they think this is the real you and the two of you get along great naturally so should continue to hang out and become even closer
break the cycle of this by being you. literally be yourself you cunt or you will never find any true friends. just people who like the look of the mask you put on.

Do this And then you'll have a cool story and new friends.

I get you. although I socialize mostly with guys. Do you got some awkward (social) stories with girls

I socialize and I have little problems with making small conversations but I cannot relate to people on a deeper level. Most of my relationships are pretty superficial

If you don't count work/university/school or talking to family, I haven't actually spoken to someone in 12 years

>Who gives a fuck holy shit
his friend maybe.
but most likely they aren't fully inhuman autists like you and realize at a certain point in any friendship, you run out of shit to talk about and it becomes less about sharing interesting stories or ideas and more of just making talk for talks sake about literally anything that has happened recently because if you don't then there is nothing to say thus no reason to be around one another really. modern day gyms/working out does not need two people.

>intentionally makes idiotic posts
i want newfags to leave

or you could just, I don't know, not say anything at all.

>I don't have anything important to talk about so let's fill the air with trivial babble

One of my favorite things about my best friend in high school is that we could just shut the fuck up and sit in silence together without it being uncomfortable

>or you could just, I don't know, not say anything at all.
then why even hang out together? I already explained that in my post. if you don't talk, why be there together? no point in socializing if you know, you don't actually be social.
>sit in silence together
why? very strange to dislike communicating but liking just being near a living body.

Jokes on you I've been shitposting for 7-8 years now.
Ladyboy posters are here to stay.

Haha yeah I am a bit of phony cocksucker when it comes to everyday interaction. It's that or be absolutely rejected by the majority of people.

I did/do have friends that I was truly myself around, and they appreciated me for it and I appreciated them too. I convinced them to get into lifting and then all of the sudden they wanted to do normie things like go to bars and to the movies and some of them who had talked about morals this and degeneracy that started fucking any loose woman they could get with, fuck any of the morals or values that they always touted having. They basically turned into what they claimed to have disliked.

That's not why she sucks, but I get what you're saying.

/sociopath/ general

I used to live there before I moved to Montreal. One thing I've learned is, people are fucking retarded everywhere. Some of the dumbest people I've met are super liberal canacucks.

One could argue it's more weird to be so awkward and uncomfortable around someone you claim is your friend that you need to be constantly talking about meaningless shit just to fill the void

That sounds like me.

i kind of relate, but it's fixed on setting; my friends from muay thai and work are definitely normies and are smart in their own fashion, but our conversation is always shallow or succinct, which is refreshing i guess. the mexicans' endurance is ridiculous and fight iq, through the roof, but there's definitely something off when you try and engage beyond typical back and forth

on the other hand, at uni or field related conferences, i might as well have downs syndrome; brainlet status maintained.

Jokes on you mommy got me tested, it's just autism.

>be me 2 years ago
>going out with girl I met in a 200 level ethics class
>acts smart and pretentious because sophomore level ethics lmao
>accidentally slip up and say a world like 'fallacious' on a date
>giggles like a retard and the whole facade falls apart
>never saw her laugh as hard to any joke that I've ever made

oh that is diffidently more weird.
it's all weird
if you are going to socialize, spending your time doing that, then do it. socialize. you can sit in silence all alone just fine any time you want.
talking about inane shit just to have something to do while socializing means you don't really have anything to say or don't care about what they say. you aren't compatible.
if you just want to sit in silence, don't even bother to hang out.

socializing is for communicating.

I don't think I know how to socialise like 'normal' people do. I don't like talking about myself unless it's with someone close, because I feel like I'm imposing on them. I don't know how to properly start conversations. I also panic when I'm the center of attention and start to get watery-eyed. I work, lift, lurk and sleep.

Is that Connor Murphy or some guy from a cbt thread?

>look it up since you might be too

>tfw every time you look up disorders many of the symptoms fit you

Forgot you could do that on mobile I'm sorry

my good friends all suck now. Everyone is too busy with their jobs and gfs or chasing girls. No one wants to just chill anymore and play some vidya, watch a game/movie, or just shoot the shit. They only care in hanging out if it is an event that might help them get pussy. I mean I'm not a fagot I like girls too but I miss when my friends and I were just a bunch of guys being dudes not caring too much about girls and just wanted to hangout and have fun. times were simpler then. now I realize no one actually gives a fuck, everything is just networking for girls, money, and social media posts.

>everything is just networking for girls, money, and social media posts.
It isn't though

I love being social, in fact I get pretty down if I go a few days without being social and making some memories. But I also burn myself out by going way too hard sometimes. I'm in sales, and I spent a week doing hardcore networking and then going out with other reps at night, and after getting home I just want to watch YouTube and read in my room, and do a lot of cooking and lifting every night this week. Once I'm recharged I'll be back to social animal status for another week or two.

Welcome to Veeky Forums.

I also don't have friends and only talk to my parents but it works for me. Life is easy without all those first world relationship problems. I listen to other peoples conversation sometimes and relationships can be really fucking stressfull holy shit. But it's not like I chose this alone-life I can't even make friends in the internet but it's enough for me seing other people socialise. I can't hold eye contact and always forget every word I want to say so I can't talk normaly. (I guess because of anxiety).
mfw

I agree but for most people it is

don't apologize to people who call you a dumbass for such a trivial thing user

I feel drained after going out. If I go out on Saturday, my whole week gets messed up because I'm mentally exhausted.

you could try and tell them that somehow, communication is key for any successful relationships. or even get it to happen yourself. go on a camping trip or some shit

I've been a loner for a while now and was a drifter for few months after I got out of the military, only interaction I had with women was through hookers and strippers and the odd normal girl who would start small talk at a bar, for some reason I get along very well with the more seedy element. Trying to settle down somewhere and start getting back into the shape I was in when I was active duty but I still can't shake this loner bullshit.

Whats wrong with me Veeky Forums

Yes, and no.
As is common, I spend a lot of time with the people I work with after work, and I wouldn't hesitate to call them my friends.
However, recently I got called up to my boss where he raged for a good ten minutes and told me that there was someone at work who said they wanted to quit because of me.
Now, while I have a good idea about who it is and precisely why this person is upset, I felt so provoked by the fact that they didn't say it to my face directly, and pulled a bitch move like that instead.
I've also had someone steal a couple hundo from my place after a pre-party, but nobody wanted to own up to it.
For that reason, I've shut myself off in a sense - I'll spout pleasantries and put on a polite facade, but I won't open up about anything or tell them anything of importance because some of them are obviously untrustworthy as fuck and likely won't hesitate to talk shit about me behind my back.
That's not to say I don't have friends outside of work, because I do, but getting a bitch move like that pulled on me just made me stop wanting to confide anything to people.
I guess I'll get a doggo or something.

Nothing is wrong with you. You just want to be alone and you are alone. That's it.

Sure but I can't keep wandering around and fucking hookers and convincing strippers for a free fuck for the rest of my life, a man needs to settle down before he catches syphilis or the clap

My alarm wakes me up at 6:45am. I wonder if I have set the wrong time on my alarm as I do not feel rested and it is dark outside. I stare at my phone bleary eyed and realise that actually yes, it is time to get up.

I go to the kitchen and make a coffee to try and kickstart my brain, and eat chitty bland scrambled eggs on toast. I treat myself to a rasher of bacon, and savour it as much as possible, for I know it is one of the few fleeting moments of pleasure I will experience all day.

I shower, get dressed and walk to the bus stop (while I hold a full driver's licence, current petrol prices and insurance costs mean it is cheaper for me to commute this way). I get on the bus and sit behind a good looking teen couple, kissing and fawning over each other on their way to college. I rage, knowing I never got to experience undiluted teenage love. I bury my head in an autobiography, and read about someone who lived a better life than me.

I arrive at work by 8:30am, wishing I was still in bed. I sit at my desk rotting, feeling my posture gradually deteriorating. I medicate myself with painkillers, and a steady supply of caffeine ensures the boredom of my work will not fully send me to sleep. I tap away at a computer, realising that if the company I worked for bothered or could afford to implement better software, 75% of my job would be done by the computer itself, faster and more accurately than I could hope to. I make small talk with my coworkers just enough so they do not think I am a retarded, emotionally-stunted zombie.

After 8+ hours of drudgery, I make my way home. I lift for an hour in the vain hope that increasing the size of my muscles little by little will eventually lead me attract a cute gf; I then shove some food down my throat to keep me alive, so I can repeat the cycle of working day by day, year by year, ultimately so I can make more money for somebody else. If I am lucky, I have one hour per evening where I am free to do what I like after that, although usually I am too tired to do much except watch the latest episode of whatever American TV show is currently hot, or fap into a tissue.

I go to sleep, knowing tomorrow will be exactly the same.

why not make the software yourself and sit at work all day doing browsing Veeky Forums

I know I could break out of this shell but I don't like drinking or partying anymore. I'm happy my life is on track and I'm adulting well but sometimes I'd like to not be so socially anxious.

They're just NPCs. Hardly anything is going on in their heads, no individuality, no real will power. Fuck them. I don't get why Veeky Forums is so self-conscious and cowardly so much. At least you aren't a normalfag. Have some pride in yourself. Stop being so god damn autistic (not you in particular, user).

It's a double-edged sword though because we're still human, and most of us will have an innate urge for a deeper connection on the human level. So you have this rooted desire but most people are total cancer. Good luck, anons.

Southerners are retarded and fat, but like that other user implies, nothing compares to the repulsive, oozing arrogance of cosmopolitan faggots.

what do you work in?

have you considered quitting?
you only get a few years on this planet man. even poverty might be better than this

Definitely this. If you can be silent with someone and not feel uncomfortable, it's a testament to the relationship.

This so much. I feel so disassociated from socializing nowadays that I'm worried I'll never be able to connect with people like I used to. Also it is frustrating because it is difficult to tell someone about this issue without sounding like a pretentious pessimist.

i do fine woodworking and cabinetry

I like people, just not the problems they give me.

that seems like a lovely existence, friend

This. You also do not fuck with a mans automobile.

Why do you worry about it? Why does it bother you that you no longer connect with people like you used to? What changed in your mind?

I'm not sure exactly why. Maybe I just want something to distract myself. One of my only non-lifting related goals is to have a family and that seems far from attainable as I am right now because of this social disassociation. When I isolate myself to my hobbies I feel physically and mentally pleasant but there is little to no fulfillment beyond lifting.

its always the ones who either hate themselves or dont find themselves interesting that think they are better than others

Its the duality of self-loathing + giant ego that somehow creates this perfect storm of Veeky Forums autism

>its always the ones who either hate themselves or dont find themselves interesting that think they are better than others

Might be jumping to conclusions a bit, pal

Maybe join an activity or a club where you suspect deeper people will be? Most normies are just boring cancer, and you won't fulfill their wants and they won't yours.

It's amazing that you don't fathom that conversing and holding eye contact gives pleasure and good feelings to some people . You are so socially retarded it's actually funny.

I got a premo one bedroom apartment on campus lads. I walk every where I need to go and spend 80% of my time completely alone. The other 20% of my time is hanging with my gf, maybe once a month she asks me to go to a formal for her sorority. That is the extent of my socializing and I'm very happy. If anyone else here is aspiring to be /alone/ I totally recommend a 1 bedroom apartment.

I don't mean to shit on your life, but let me ask you this:
If you attracted a cute girlfriend, what would you bring to the table (relationship)?
Earning money, owning a home, having a beautiful body, expanding your mind with books... These are all fine things, but do they define you? Are you just a jacked and clever "background character"? Do you ever think of what might make you stand out as something more than that to women?
What are your interests? Have you tried pursuing these interests in a social setting? Have you been trying to find new interests that you might enjoy where you might meet women?
I will repeat, it is not my intention to be mean to you or shame you, but if you don't make an attempt to put yourself out there, you'll have a hard time attracting a woman.
When you read these autobiographies of people you think have such interesting lives, has it not spurred you to do something equally interesting yourself?
If I may give you a very one-size-fits-all tip, it would be to take up a hobby that lets you experience or create something and that's easy to make social. For instance...
>Learn to play an instrument
>Hunting
>Scuba/freediving
>Parachuting
>Dancing lessons
>Cooking classes
>Book clubs
>Wine tasting
>Beer brewing
>Painting
These are just things off the top of my head, but I'm sure you have something you would like to do, and the best way to go about it is as follows:
>Write down three or five or more hobbies you are interested in
>Find out how those are organised in your area
>Call the organisations and schedule a visit to come over and try it
>Go there and meet people
Shouldn't take more than two days tops, GO GO GO TIME'S A-WASTING
Another problem I suspect you have is that you have become very good at the things you do in your life. You're likely good enough at your job, lifting, dieting and reading that you're stagnating, or "grinding". Finding something new and challenging will stimulate your mind and grow your character.

Bull shit. Most people get nervous as fuck if nothing is said for a whole 5 seconds. They can't take the heat of the silence. You can feel that tension and awkwardness grip everyone's insecure ass especially so in a group setting.

I'm not saying that eye contact and and conversing doesn't give good feelings to people, but you're just looking to criticize if you can't recognize that most of what people talk about comes from insecurity with themselves and with silence.

>I get along very well with the more seedy element
Holy shit are you me?

You sound like fucking neckbeards
I understand some people are really stupid and their lives revolve around the Kardashians and Instagram but it's not hard to find intelligent people if you're also intelligent
Most of my friends are engineers, studying engineers or doing their postgrad in maths and we can fuck around but also have decent conversations too

>Write down three or five or more hobbies you are interested in

Last time I did this, the FBI kicked in my door, put a thumbdrive full of childporn on my pc and told me I was now their "informant" and I had to rat out my hooded brethren. Fuck your advice

A club seems like a positive change. I would just need to find one that motivates me to go consistently without feeling like I am forcing it. For the past couple years I've been trying to refrain from forcing anything that I don't physically enjoy or find rewarding in either long or short term. This has given me huge benefits to my health especially but has had some negative effects on my mindset. I am progressively becoming more and more indifferent to things I used to care about. This may sound like maturation but when I try to re-prioritize my goals or values to 'better' my life in some way but I more often find that I have nothing left to reorganize. Its like all my preconceptions of life dissolved and all I care about now is reaching my physical potential before I die while minding my own business and making as few waves as possible along the way.

Kek'd

Just start again, bro! Think of all the interesting people you've met even though it didn't go as planned. You already have a great story to tell, so you're already that much further ahead than the other dullards who sat at home and watched some muck on Netflix while you were out and hating niggers, burning crosses, making pipe bombs, getting sodomised with a Maglite, waterboarded and otherwise convinced to cooperate. Hell, even talking to the FBI, that's pretty cool. That sure is something not many people get to experience in their lives.
I believe in you, user!
