[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;20926143]I know me, and I'd only dance if I could remove temporarily many of my inhibitions... a good way to do that is by drinking, which will never happen :/[/QUOTE] Outside influences won't help you. Don't even try to blame the fact that you don't drink on your lack of confidence. Even if your drunk you will still be self-aware to a degree, especially if you're self conscious like I used to be. Plus, drinking is like a placebo, it does nothing for you, but it makes it seem like it does. Just build up your own confidence by doing more extroverse things. That's the only good and lasting solution.
Almost everybody's life sucks. Get a job, make money, exercise for self esteem and quit bitching. Whining digs a whole deeper and deeper until your dead. Confidence has nothing to do with it, only you get in your way. I might be depressed and angry all the time because people hate me but I keep good grades, a full time job, and friends and hobbies. The more friends you have the more people appreciate you and the more you feel like a human being. So suck it up and experience the real world. There are thousands of people on this earth that would take your place in a fucking second.
I always wondered where crabby old hermits came from. I never knew it started this early.
My dream is to have some house in the middle of a mountain where no fucking one will ever come to bother me. Some people are just like that, loners by nature. But (like everyone else) I should point out that you got a gf. And, on a side note, it's not that you don't feel like talking to people, it's just that no one makes you feel like talking to them. Am sorry for playing the psy, but since am kinda the same person (minus gf >_>), I can tell you I know what am talking about :P

And yes, I underlined that sentence because it's true... since nobody seems to share some of my interests (internet, technology, science, computers, etc), I have nobody to talk to :/
You can always talk to me. :buddy:

Chernobyl's the place for you. But i think you'll be considered hostile :razz:
[QUOTE=Ordrano;20905240]by manning up[/QUOTE] Give the '10er a round of applause ladies and gentlemen for another fantasmagorical response!!! :v: People suck, OP sucks, and theres few people you can like, live with it deal with it, do what you want and be who your gonna be, problem solved.

[QUOTE=Maximum Mod;20940885]Let's make a steam group![/QUOTE] make a steam group about it
Let's not make a steam group about it
[QUOTE=bravehat;20939639]People suck, OP sucks, and theres few people you can like, live with it deal with it, do what you want and be who your gonna be, problem solved.[/QUOTE] Pretty much. The "do what you want" attitude is working well so far
It's always the quiet ones who snap...
What the fuck, you have a girlfriend. Seriously it can't be that bad.

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;20861229]Antisocial = A guy who doesn't want or like to socialize with people[/QUOTE] Just a quick correction: antisocial actually means someone who actively works against other people for their own interests. Antisocial people can seem normal from the outside, but inside they are incredibly selfish and self-centered people who will do what it takes to get what they want, [I]if the reward is worth the risk[/I]. Another way to explain it: anti-socials often follow (most) rules not because it's the right thing to do, but because they fear the consequences. Being anti-social is considered a personality disorder. What you experience is NOT antisocial personality disorder. It is [I]technically[/I] a personality disorder (it is in the DSM afterall) but that is currently under debate by psychologists. Having a natural aversion to groups that are too large would seem to be a good evolutionary trait to have, if what we know about mankind's past holds true. [QUOTE=Pretiacruento;20915768]1) No way. For some reason (sheer stupidity, most probably) People all around me seem to be too fucking retarded, clumsy, RUDE ([B]I HATE THIS[/B]), shallow, self-centered, and a long-ass etcetera... I don't like that kind of people, mainly because I'm nothing like that. I already tried to make friends with any random guy/girl I ran into but we always end up parting ways. And because I find people rude most of the time, now I'm starting to stop being nice to people and I'm turning into a huge asshole (unless somebody earns my respect).[/QUOTE] Well, as was once explained to me, there are two steps to meeting people like you. First: be yourself. Second: do things you would like to do. You like gaming? Look up local lan parties. Like playing Magic: The Gathering or D&D? Look them up. Like raves? You get the idea. The internet is awesome for this because many people post that shit online. I found out there are a few groups offering "Cafe Philo"s in my city, where once every week or two they go and have moderated philosophical debates at a local venue. Meet some really cool people there. Also meet some complete douches... let's just say "Freedom of Speech" is often a one-way road. But I'm glad people are so openly stupid sometimes, because that's a nice way of sorting out the retards. [QUOTE=Pretiacruento;20946309]Oh no, not really, it's not bad at all... she makes it all go away, [I]if you catch my drift[/I] ;)[/QUOTE] See man, you're already getting all buddy-buddy with some of FP. You're not a bad guy and you're not a complete asshat. You just need to chill out. Don't spend every minute judging and analyzing everything someone says and does. Give them a chance. You will find most people are wearing a game face, just like you.

[QUOTE=Archy;20946736]i'm pretty sure the term you're getting at is asshole[/QUOTE] Oh, this goes well beyond asshole. Imagine the biggest fucking dick you've ever known. Now, imagine that he has a mental compulsion to have ultimate power and the willingness to step on any head to get there. Worst part is, anti-social PD is often coupled with narcissistic personality disorder... basically, VERY overblown self-worth. It is often said that most of the very powerful people on this world today have both of these disorders. Some are less obvious than others (Steve Jobs), while others are clear as day (Bobby Kotick, Donald Trump). All of them have made people suffer to get to where they are. Guaranteed. No everyday asshole is capable of doing so much wrong to people and [I]enjoying[/I] it. That takes a special brand of fucked up.

Let's just say I'll never be the life and soul of any party :P [QUOTE=FlakAttack;20946693]Well, as was once explained to me, there are two steps to meeting people like you. First: be yourself.

You will find most people are wearing a game face, just like you.[/QUOTE] You're right. I came to realize that you can't be pissed off all the time, it's no way to be. Thankfully I've grown a thicker skin, so many stuff people does as [I]customary[/I] doesn't affect me at all, which makes me look colder. The gf always complaints about that... "Honey, you know I love you and all, but you're just [B]TOO[/B] cold sometimes :ohdear:". Thanks A LOT for your understanding, man!! :D
to be honest with you op, i sometimes have flashes of your situation. sometimes, im like well, i would seriously rather not deal other people and their shenanigans.
I have this sort of feeling too, when I don't really want to do...anything, really. I wouldn't call it normal, but it probably isn't anything to worry about; it'll pass. I got around my bout of antisocialism by trying out a few different sports. That's most likely been suggested, and I haven't gone through the whole thread. It might be worth a try, though.
You seem kind of boring... But I really hate people aswell. There are only a limited amount of people I actually care about. Everyone else could die/disappear tomorrow and it wouldn't make a difference to me. [QUOTE=Canuhearme?;20863524]Yes, that totally makes sense, especially because he has a girlfriend. Remember, when in doubt, blame it on some disorder, not yourself.[/QUOTE] :911:
I like people in small doses. That is, some people. Some people I just can't fucking stand, period. Like when you get too many school girls into one area and their giggling turns into a fucking crescendo of ear splitting torture. Eueueeeggeeuuegh. [editline]05:01AM[/editline] Or Cost-co. Too many people, it just gives me the jibblies.
I hate this thread, and especially you pretiacruento. I have an incredible urge to post this whole thing in E/N bullshit just to see you get shot down.

People should realize that there's nothing inherently wrong with not being a social person. It's fine if it works for you.
