Tell me... EVERYTHING

Since you keep asking me:

I got friends, a girlfriend, job(s).

Other than being with friends/girlfriend/working, I play games with my friends or other crap.

21, no current job, no friends since late elementary school, had a girlfriend I originally met online for a while but that went sour and we stopped seeing each other. The extent of my social life is what I do online, and that isn't even much.

17, used to have a social life until my friends starting screwing around with 13-14 year old girls. Now I spend time with the coolest guy I know. We have so much in common too.. maybe because it is me (forever alone)

Also never had girlfriends, I'm the one who gets insta-friendzoned :L maybe I'm too nice or what, mehh.

18, got lotsa friends, buncha really close ones, don't hang out with them much anymore though lately, not bothered to go out and do stuff, I much prefer friends coming over or going over to friends rather than clubbing or eating out etc. I guess I don't have much of a social life anymore these days lol, oh and no gf

Please stop with all the "I hate people", "social life is overrated", etc. comments. Everyone, and by that I mean every single person on the entire planet, will benefit from having a social life and a girlfiend/boyfriend to at least some degree. Some people haven't met the right people yet, others choose to shut out the world because of a bad experience or two, but please, stop saying you hate people because of that.

I really don't care if you have a social life or not, I know it's hard for some people. I'm just sick of hearing about how "people" are the problem, when in 99% of the cases it's not.

Save for natural disasters, people are responsible for everything shitty around the world, whether they're hurting their fellow man and/or other life on the planet - and that's a fact. People are the problem, 99% of the time.

Even when people choose the shut themselves out, one could argue that they're creating a problem for themselves, and since they're people... well I think you can put 1 and 1 together.

But you missed my point. Individual people create problems, not people as a whole. Brb, dinner.

Incoming wall of text -

a. Everyone is an individual.

b. Individuals in positions of power and influence - whether it's actual power (politicians, businessmen, industrialists etc.), or purely superficial influence (your media moguls, your entertainers - i.e. Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, and every other terrible money hungry shell of a human being) inevitably exert that power over the people.

c. Building on the previous point, the people are a conduit for that same influence... influencing other people in their various social circles (family, school, work, recreation). Parents passing down ignorance, intolerance, contrived and old-fashioned values (who they got from... you guessed it - politicians), fellow students teasing, harassing, hazing, even bullying each other because someone isn't as extroverted as them, doesn't dress like them (and other shit tweens care about), doesn't possess 'swag'... whatever.

Actions such as these, performed by people manipulated into adopting contrived social norms, trends, and ideas (this is why the whole concept of 'normalcy' is so ridiculous) - something is normal as long as most people agree with it - and who influences that shit? Everyone mentioned in .b.

Most people, those who choose to shut themselves out from society - direct their hate towards their immediate peers, and that's their grave error, because their peers are only the unwitting pawns of those truly responsible for their perpetual misery.

<<TL;DR>> (most) people are shit.

I completely agree with you on this. My problem is with people believing that every single person except for themself is shit. Doing so makes them miss out on every opportunity to connect with the few individuals they would actually find interesting and therefore destroy their own chances at getting the social life the really desire.

The groups who shuns anyone with too little "swag" are doing it for the same reason these "uncool" guys abstain from hanging out with the cool guys. They want to be with their own kind. Stating that you hate people because of that is not only hypocritical, it's also denying yourself of a lot of the joy in life.

I personally find almost anyone I know irl boring or dumb, but I give everyone a chance and stick to the few interesting individuals.

You'll find that most don't really think that way - the hatred that the people you mention possess is very, very often accompanied by a (un)healthy dose of self loathing.

These are usually highly intelligent individuals - and their hatred for themselves stems from the feeling that they're convinced they cannot properly connect with most other people because they'd have to dumb themselves down quite a bit, and can't live with that. Their hatred for others stems from the fact that so many other people do it (connect, socialize) so effortlessly.

It's true that some of these folks are then drawn to fringe social groups, 'uncool' cliques if you will. But maybe some of them are content with themselves, and don't desire a specific form of social life, if they desire one at all.
I know one person that consciously, intentionally avoids connecting with anyone (he's not into relationships as a direct result) on any truly meaningful level because he's very somber, pessimistic, and sarcastic, and his ideas and outlook on the world would at worst horrify and at best bore your average joe/jane, because he doesn't want to impede another's happiness to fulfill his own more base needs, as so may others do.

If you seriously believe that you are smarter then everyone else around you, granted that many people might be below your intelligence, then you have an issue and should seek help. Truth is if you put yourself out there and are actually smart like you think you will weed those dumb people out and find others like yourself.

Yes you can be content by yourself...but lets face it just because someone doesn't desire a form of social life does not mean they wont enjoy it, chances are they will have fun. Probably more so then if you stayed in hermit mode your whole life. I talk from experience btw....

I try to give most people a chance. I am picky about company though so I usually end up with a handful of good friends and throw the rest back. Truth is many people are the types to take advantage or just be plan right out dicks. Sad but true. Its pretty hard for me to actually like someone enough to date them though, that TAKES a lot.

Social life isn't overrated, honestly some of my best times have been with other people, I won't lie though I like my alone time a lot more at times.

^ This. I dislike most people I've met offline (I seemed to have better luck online), but I did give them a chance. They turned out to be assholes or flat out annoyed the piss of out of me. I only ended up with a handful of friends as a result, but I'm fine with that. I'd rather only associate with the people who are actually nice/funny/enjoyable in any way to be around. And I've only had one girlfriend (for 4 years now) because I'm not into dating just for the fun of it. I really prefer someone who actually feels special to me... and even just sitting around with them is good enough.

Also the same with the last part - some of my best moments were hanging out with a best friend I hadn't seen in a while, or just sitting around with my girlfriend, but other than that I just like to be alone. I'm one of those people who really needs silence.

I agree. I am actually shocked reading these posts, this thread is depressing as shit mayne. It does make me value my friends and my "friends" a lot more though. I know it can be very hard but you guys should put yourself out there, an online friend can't compare to one that you can share experiences in person with.

22, barely any friends, hunting for a job to make use of the worthless piece of paper the last 4.5 years produced. Until I get that job, staying home all day on the computer and it is fucking awesome.

I have very few friends and I'm uncomfortable interactions with strangers. In the last 2 years I've been slowly trying to break out of my shell, but social contact outside of my small circle still scares me.
