How unhealthy is social isolation?

not been out socially in 4 years here

It makes suicide a lot easier when you lose all attachments to other human beings

really unhealthy user

I was completely cut off from the world from 15 to about 18 and I basically lost the ability to socialize. I was never exactly a social person in the first place but still. 24 now and I'm still socially awkward as fuck.

Whst is your take on social isolation? Full neet mode? has friends but never go out? No friends at all?
Social isolation can fuck up your voice pitch and speech pattern, if bad enough can be set permanently

Also this will be (you)

If we're still posting here, it isn't social isolation, right?

NoFriends is legit man. I recommend everyone to get to day 10 at least. Just like NoFap, the urges will be strong in the first times. But then, you will meet your true self.

its not the same. What that user said about how it rewires your brain - it basically means you think operate differently. Its fucking weird and almost impossible to revert unintentionally.

think becoming a civilian again after the military (without the PTSD)

Train driver here. You just get used to it bro. I see like a gazillion people a day out of my window. The job involves being around scum of the earth and running people over occasionally too so you start to see people are pretty replaceable and in my case I don't really see the point of trying to be more outgoing.

Aren't you that autistic train driver who made a 5 paragraph post on how your job is alpha and how you don't understand why people get worried when the train they're on kills somebody?

It is, but it's a heavily mitigated form compared to the traditional medical definition

How does it change you

How are you holding up user

>How does it change you
imagine not looking to other people for happiness.

Yeah I agree. I'm not needy about friends so after HS when I moved I really didn't bother. I felt like I backslid from 'funny quiet guy who is open to conversing to strangers' to 'really nervous about holding a conversation with anyone who I don't know personally'

big mistake
Yeah, kinda like that. Have you met some folks?

Being a train driver looks rather amusing desu
Running over people, kicking dyels on the face

My first year of college was my first taste of real isolation. First semester I burnt myself out from partying and I realized I didn't like most people there. So, second semester I just kept myself, even with some days not talking to another person.

At first, it's uncomfortable. But then you start to get used to it, and you're really able to start to truly think for yourself. I started reading all the time, going to church, and lifting more. I transferred now and I actually have friends, but i would honestly recommend everybody do it for a short period of time. It really allows for some introspection. Some days I do miss it, I really do. But if I were to do that for four years I would come out of college socially retarded.

More unhealthy than any "normal" health problem like obesity. Fucked my brain up to the point where I considered suicide every day and eventually put my shotgun in my mouth. Reconsidered, got out of the situation and now I'm fitter and more focused on my future than I ever have been in my entire life.

Nah bro must be a different dude. I'm speaking from my experience in Sydney, did this bloke specify where he drives?

Not very amusing hitting people I dare say, you miss a lot more than you get and that's enough for some people.

Oops meant to reply to you

See:

>partied hard
>didn't talk to people for "some" days
>"social isolation"
normies plz leave

Pretty bad. After highschool most of my friends moved away while I went too community college.

I made no new freinds there and became an extreme loner and literally only talked too coworkers and my parents. I became extremely depressed and thought about suicide alot. After a few years I made an effort too be more social and made a couple freinds but I still feel like there is a hole in my social development and I still get social anxiety alot. Even on stupid shit like if I'm in a car with someone I feel awkward because im bad at making small talk and whatnot.

>lonely and anti social
> I'm a married
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I was socially isolated for the most part for like 2 years. Still able to easily socialize and make friends.

you guys are my best friends

Veeky Forums is social masturbation. You get to shush down an urge without any of the benefits of the actual action.
You get to throw your ideas and opinions against real people in the form of text-filled rectangles, but in the end, you haven't met anyone, bonded with anyone or made actual friends.

Not Bad been lonely for about 5 years and im focusing More on myself

You'll never meet any of us.

Spot on

Worse than smoking. Not as bad as coke addiction.

faggot you've never known what isolation is

>but in the end, you haven't met anyone, bonded with anyone or made actual friends.

that's most superficial alcohol and loud music based irl events nowadays, user

When I was 14 I moved to Germany so I spent the first ~2 years in utter isolation, barely talking for days at a time until I was comfortable with the language. Then when I could express myself, I managed to be pretty social during HS and through college. Those two years were hell. Everything I did or said was awkward and I hated whatever I said. I also had very little free time because I was constantly learning.
>mfw lost my virginity to an Aryan qt3.14

>How unhealthy is social isolation?
Very

Starts out shitty but once you get used to it you'll feel very free. Pets are recommended though.

t. Shut-in of 15+ years

You're black arent you?

That's the main reason why we're friends.

There aren't many people on the western hemisphere that are truly socially isolated. You browsing this board, interacting with other people is most definitely a form of social interaction so you're by no means isolated

Can't isolate even if i want to.

What the fuck. How? Every fucking time. Every fucking where. Just leave me alone and let me do my fucking job.

All my spare time goes to recovering from a day at work, which requires little communication with co-workers to begin with.

If you want to be alone, never smile, never greet anyone, always stare them head to toe and shake your head whenever someone is trying to reach out to you. Always give short answers and never back them up with any kind of reasoning or logic. Don't crack a single joke, ever.

How unhealthy is isolation from females? Haven't touched or conversed (in person) with one in 3 years. I'm 19

Introverts are much rarer than most people would expect. You seem like one.

I already don't because ALMOST everyone who was close with me hurt me emotionally.

It's OK if you learn to cope. I surround myself with dolls and just talk with them.

I have nobody at all for the last two years

Things seem to be getting harder since I cant shut my mind off and just focus on good things

i play music very loud with headphones so i cant hear the silence in my place which just hurts my mood
>Btw im so pale someone actually asked if i have cancer or something

im extremely pale

Very unhealthy

I basically speak to only 2-3 people everyday, short sentences, thats it, no other communications
I can feel me slowly drifting away; if I have a long conversation sometimes the person doesnt understand what Im talking about, like Im in another place or universe
Also my empathy is all fuck up: i dont act normally in most situations

Not sure how much of it is social isolation and how much is this fucking place but I feel like a soulless monster at times.

>be me
>after a period of social isolation, Veeky Forums and lifting I finally get friends and turn into Chad
>finally get together with a qt girl that is actually nice and doesnt seem like a slut
>everything goes perfect I think, this might be the girl of my dreams
>yesterday in bed after we have sex she starts fucking crying out of nowhere
>tells me she loves me and wants to make me happy but she cant handled being treated like that in bed
>I literally dont know what to fucking say I just try to tell her I am sorry and we can fix this
>entire day today was awkward and I really tried to be sensitive

From my point of view I dont get what I did wrong, I maybe treated her not that well in bed but I though girls liked being dominated a bit ? Like the girls I met on Tinder always loved it. Why didnt she tell me earlier Veeky Forums I feel like a horrible human being for doing something to her she wasnt ok with. I mean I know that especially with Tinder girls I used to let out the hate I have inside of me from the years of being frustrated when I fucked them. Do I need to go to a therapist ? I dont even know what to tell my gf when I see her, do I try to explain why I am like this sometimes. Or do I just try not to ever be like that again ?

Even if socializing with people in real life makes some sort of more tangible bond, eventually they wont be around or become sparse. Maybe thats why 99% of Veeky Forums is tfw no gf

this so many leddit normies have infested Veeky Forums and most other boards. they all have friends, gf but as soon as they stay indoors for a week muh social isolation while genuine autists havent left their mom's basement in years.

What did you specifically do to her in bed?

i dunno man, maybe just be more gentle, her not being into that fucked up choke me daddy porn shit might just be a good sign, and there's other ways to make her feel submissive other than just being plain rough

Sooooo

Veeky Forums

I've never done this but some things have changed in my life and I should be able to go outside more often but I want to bring this up here

>Be me
>300lbs
>lose weight
>now at 240lbs
>don't workout but want to one day go to a gym....
>so, i have a lot of resturants and small cafes next to my apartment
>if I walk there its about a 30 min walk around this place and back to my place that leaves about an hour for me to be outside and walk around
>how can i actually do this?
>you see, i've lost weight but i still sit at home and can't even shop outside of my regular hours or my regular stores since any deviation in my routine fucks up my mental state and its painful to see so many people just walking around with friends around the streets meanwhile you're some shitposting loser on a Veeky Forums board...

honestly user I feel so bad about I really dont wanna go into specifics here. but nothing special really, I have done that to other girls before and they never had a problem with it. granted most of them were sluts but still.

yeah guess you are right user, this place just always told me that you have to fuck her right or she will cheat on you. and I dont really have any other sources for shit like this because relationships arent really something I know that much about.

eventually you will die
eventually everyone will forget who you are
eventually homo sapiens will become extinct
eventually the sun will run out of hydrogen and become a red giant, consuming the entire solar system and any traces of earth.
eventually doesnt matter user, so go get a gf

It's literally killing you. You're as much as 2x as likely to die if you're socially isolated, live alone, and feel lonely.

I've a;ways been alone and everyone in my family or friends knows that about me

...

>Me in a few more years of being in solitude

I dont like these new wojak photos

I mean as in saying another word to a person for days. Obviously if I'm buying food or something I'll say a word or two. And Jesus not everybody on this board is as pathetic as you, I've been on Reddit maybe twice in my life

>eventually homo sapiens will become extinct
only if we have that downer attitude

Jesus christ user, did you do what christian bale did to those prostitutes in american psycho?
just tell us what you did, it cant be that bad considering where you are

In what way? All I have to gain from them are happiness and testosterone and I can find both elsewhere..

Hit a little too close to home?

This hits really close to home. Another thing I've noticed is that I have a very odd grasp of time. The past 5 years have felt like the same long week. Also I have trouble remembering my past and just exist in the moment so to speak.

>I really dont wanna go into specifics here
Please do. My dick craves these stories

Social Anxiety Disorder, F40.1

Lol you treated your good girl like a slut you get what you deserve fuccboi.

You have only fucked literal garbage trash human beings in the form of sluts,and now a decent girl wants to share her time with you and you think your meme behaviour and your brainwashed monkey choices will impress her?lmfaoing@urlife lad

>Chad

I just hope you keep going and ruin your relationship to learn the lesson the hard way Mr.Chad

No offense tho.
