Why are people so serious about their social lives? - General

This doesn't really belong to Fast Threads as I'm referring to some threads which have been posted in General Discussion lately. Why are people so fucking serious about their social lives? For example, falling in depression and/or killing themselves because some dumb bitch dumped them or because they only have a few friends in real life. (And yet supporting pointless wars which take thousands of innocent lives) Personally, I don't have any friends in real life and never had a girlfriend and I feel fine, but maybe that's just me.

Because they want to talk about it which almost always does good or because they want some advice about their problems.

It's natural to crave human interaction.

Because facepunch is full of 'loners'

Some like eating, some concider it a basic instinct they shun. It's like that for social life.

[QUOTE=nunu;24564372]Because facepunch is full of 'loners'[/QUOTE] Question is why do people take it so seriously not why do they have said lack of social life

Humans are social animals. Without company, we can feel 'lost'. Obviously there are some exceptions, but for the most part we need social interaction.

I am not serious about my social live.

You can be 'serious' about your social life without being a drama queen. To be blunt: [QUOTE=Butthurter;24564453]Attention whores.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=FreeThinker;24564350] never had a girlfriend [/QUOTE] Apart from the attention whores bit, you can't really state how it is to lose your girlfriend if you've never had one.

If you just treat her like a walking flesh-light that talks, you probably wouldn't give a shit, and for understandable reasons. I've never experienced it, but a girlfriend leaving you, if you really cared, I think is sort of like having a family member in the hospital. You're not sure if that's the end, or if things will get better and you'll be able to interact with them again. Then again I'm pretty sure most of the idiots who are whining about their girlfriends leaving them don't really care about their girlfriends as people anyways, so what does it matter?

some people are just plain stupid

And people tend to take their social lives seriously because they enjoy the company of other people, I dunno just throwing that out there.

you should probably make some friends in real life dood

Calling someone a coward for that is the dumbest thing you can do

I don't know how people can function without friends what if you need help with something and your family is miles away you either have to struggle to do it yourself or ask a complete stranger.

and I bet you wouldn't even dare to put a loaded gun to your head

One of my best friends recently broke up with his girlfriend of 1-2 months and told me he almost killed himself. As much as I wanted to offer him sympathy I couldn't after hearing that, it's just ridiculous considering we're both 14-15.

Girls are the new #1 reason for suicide among teenage boys.

Because some people do not understand the value of life

[QUOTE=FreeThinker;24564350]Personally, I don't have any friends in real life and never had a girlfriend and I feel fine, but maybe that's just me.[/QUOTE] It's just you. Once you get a girlfriend, you'll change your mind.

[QUOTE=FreeThinker;24564350]Personally, I don't have any friends in real life and never had a girlfriend and I feel fine, but maybe that's just me.[/QUOTE] Whoa. Dude, I'm not exactly the most popular person, but wtf?

All you need is me, no but rely they say they are depressed or suicidal but rely they just want attention. To have sympathy or just a reaction (may it be good or bad) just makes them feel like they are worth something. I don't believe that depression is real. One time I thought I felt depressed, but it hit me one day. Its how you view the world. You make your life how you want it to be.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;24564453]Attention whores.[/QUOTE] This. If you've had your best friend die, your Girlfriend leave you and / or your pet(s) die, and you want to commit suicide, don't come to fucking Facepunch.

[QUOTE=Icaras;24569320]Girls are the new #1 reason for suicide among teenage boys.[/QUOTE] Believable.

I used to have assloads of close friends, now I don't have a single one. We kinda grew apart, I have too much work, I'm socially lazy and I just want to be in peace till I get my shit done. My colleagues are the best a man can wish for though.
