They left. I'll just stick random bits of furniture in the parking spot to keep uninvited people from using it.

Its called 'Isolation'.

There's no cure for a stuck-up Wookieepedia user who struts around as if he owns the place...

I'm tempted to ask for some kind of explanation for that, but I'm not sure I'd like the explanation I got.

I just mean that "Healthy Social interaction" isn't needed to live a decent life, save yourself the grief of getting rejected/bullied/teased/played on/ridiculed/etc. by eliminating social interaction down to the absolute minimum.

This isn't really Healthy Social Interaction. Healthy Social Interaction is the idea of having people you can hang out with, friends you can count on, and individuals with whom you can talk with. Bullying, teasing, rejection is part of life and is hard to avoid, especially since most people avoid it because they have been bullied, teased, rejected, etc., or at least have a fear of it.

While I agree that Healthy Social Interaction is not needed to live a decent life per se, I think it's needed to have a healthy frame of mind to deal with those issues when they arise, cause they always will in life no matter how much you try to avoid them.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #16709 on:** September 12, 2012, 09:13:29 AM

All I can say is time heals all wounds and you meet new people all the time so you shouldn't give up.

Yeah, I know that. I do have friends, its just that most people I used to know have long since moved away or have become impossible to contact. Its tougher nowadays since the only time I'm actually out of the house in a social environment is when I'm at class, and even then its pretty much "Go to class, do a little discussion with the people around you, go home", though that's what everybody else does too.

I mean, my parents want me to find some new friends but it's not exactly feasible, but its fine since I've honestly gotten used to being by myself.

Sorry to derail this topic (again), but I want to address this and explain myself.

You forgot "betrayed."

I know social interaction isn't necessary to lead a perfectly fulfilling life, but on some nights (such as last night), I just let the whole "I'm never going to find 'that one person'" thing get to me. I mean, 90% of the people around me are leading happy, successful lives wherein they have someone or potentially have someone. The ones that don't? They either eventually get tired of me or stick me in the "friend zone" for whatever reason. To add insult to injury, I also sometimes get the whole "You're a real great guy" and "You'll find someone" speech from people.

I know some people have been waiting longer than I have for happiness. But the countless years I've been sitting in isolation, unable to do jack about things due to circumstances beyond my control... Well, like I said, it just gets to me sometimes.

The other night, I used my unhappiness productively and drew a sad picture, which made me feel better. Last night? I sat and stewed. It was utterly pathetic, in retrospect. But I guess that's how I handle things sometimes. I'm just a tad bit self-destructive at times...

You can't really do that when this isn't the kind of topic that can get derailed. We get occasional legit discussion sometimes.

This used to get to me for a long time, but I just got over it eventually. You see, I just eventually realized that the notion of finding somebody was never going to happen, some people give me [parasitic bomb] about it but in all reality I don't really think they care. Though chances are if there is somebody out there for me, I will never meet them because I won't ever come into contact with them. That's life.

And on my side 90% of those people have either:
1) Been in a relationship before the one they're in now
2) Are about to divorce
3) Recently broke up because the girl was a cheating [classy lady]
4) Been married forever

Its a wide spectrum.

High School in a nutshell, needless to say I wasn't great either, IIRC there was somebody who did say that they did like me, but I would've friendzoned them. Honestly, she was right. So its not like I was the only one getting rejected, because I rejected somebody too (Though when they said that it was pretty much after they had gotten over me, so maybe it wasn't that big of a deal?).

Finding new friends isn't exactly something people just go out and do. Usually it happens at work or school or someplace where you just connect with someone. I mean, my closest friends I've known since high school. They're like my family. I cannot say the same about friends I've picked up along the way at work or college or anything like that.

Pretty much, but we all have to deal with that kind of group you don't want to be a part of every now and then, I just ignore their presence, basically. I'm not really the kind of guy that takes "do unto others as they do to you" bible verse too litterally, as that can cause problems in the long run.

Topical to what you guys are talking about.

Yesterday, for the first time in ages, a girl was legitimately interested in me, engaging in conversation and all.

Of course the IRONY couldn't have been more delicious, because I need to focus on my post-secondary studies. I was such a cold dick to her that day.

Couldn't just be nice and talk to her?
Would it have really taken that long?
Besides, you apparently hate College, every recent post you've made here has said it one way or another, so honestly you should've tried to make that a little less miserable and tried to connect or something.

I mean holy [tornado fang] that's just common knowledge.

Quickman · **Reply #16722 on:** September 13, 2012, 04:53:58 AM

I find it easier to connect with people online than I do in real life. Go figure.

In real life, I'm rather aloof. I'm sociable when I need to be, but for the most part, I keep to myself. Do I get lonely? Sometimes. There are times that I wish I had friends around with whom I can hang out with. Most of the time, though... I'm fine. Even in college, I was happiest when I didn't have roommates. It's because I learned to live with myself and be happy by myself. I live by myself now and I'm quite happy. Bored because I need a job, but still rather content.

I don't shy away from relationships because they're "all bad" or "everyone's a dick." Granted, past experience plays a part in that, but it's not the main reason. My biggest problem now? I'm a nerd surrounded by non-nerds. A bit hard to connect with people when you have to explain what Star Wars is.

Joseph Collins · **Reply #16723 on:** September 13, 2012, 06:21:34 AM

You know, I was going to post a reply regarding all the insightful feedback you guys gave to my simple post (thank you, by the way!), but while writing a reply to Quickman's post, a startling thought completely side-tracked me:

"Maybe I'm not actually a furry after all?"

I was going to address social awkwardness and the fact I recently found a group of people (who are furries) with whom I felt I could open up 100% and not hold back in the slightest, but my mind wandered and well... I ended up writing a journal entry about why I question my own "furriness," the root of the argument being "I like cute things, which animals just happen to be most of the time."

On that note, thank you for completely and totally unintentionally getting my brains firing on all cylinders, Quickie. I wasn't expecting to have a revelation today.

Quickman · **Reply #16724 on:** September 13, 2012, 07:26:41 AM

Haha, no problem.

On that note, I'd be thrilled to find some furries around here. Hell, nerds of any kind. But, they all hide.
