you need to be more general

This is now a NHK thread

A challange, eh? Tell me more.

>>18813568
nope, thats pretty much me

>>18813593

Wasn't it already?

My biggest problem is the fantasy world

>>18813625
Problem?

Wrong. I simply have no desire to socialize. I don't mind interacting with others (my job as a programmer requires a lot of that), but I don't draw any particular pleasure from it and am happier when I'm alone.

>>18813617
Nope, OP was trying to turn /a/ into myspace. Fuck I've seen enough of these threads here I'm tired of this bullshit.

>>18813631
yeah. I get frustrated that I can't come up with a plausible story

correct, lol add to that a god damn stutterer

There's definitely a few fags with avoidant personality disorder here and social anxiety, but not all of us. Some are just introverted and not interested in other people.

Some are just fucking sociopaths who get bored at night, amirite, /a/?

>>18813633
Oh hey, I know you too!

You often avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. Unlike /a/voidantfags, you genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity. You tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. Your social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. You are perceived by others as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners."

>often creating fantasy worlds to substitute for the real one.
wait what?

>>18813568
Not really, friend. I just don't give damn enough.

The roles defined for us by society have become increasingly boring, sterile and meaningless. We try to fit in and do what's expected of us and fail every time. Eventually we have no motivation and stop trying at all. Underneath our sub-concious selves yearn for a much grander life than the one fed to us. Every time we try to be normal it sabotages us. On the surface we may think we're weak willed, but we never really wanted normality anyway. The normality everyone else has doesn't bring them happiness. At best it usually brings them a dull contentment. You can choose to look at your condition as a pathetic inability to achieve normality, or a stubborn denial of the mediocrity everyone else just accepts. I choose the latter.

>>18813671
>Some are just fucking sociopaths

Damn straight!

Hey Matsuda, hey Matsuda-chan~

1. Find two good friends (preferably intelligent)
2. You three make up your own rules
3. Forget the world, forget the people
4. ???
5. PROFIT

I'm just a lazy fuck who doesn't like dealing with people.

>>18813771
Finding people to match my incredible level of intelligence and wisdom is harder than it first appears

>>18813789
I bought a cat a couple of weeks ago, can we be friends?

The real world is so damn boring I don't even want to fit in.

That's pretty much me.
But hey, it's also around 80% of /a/ so who cares?

Nope. I don't feel like relationships are unobtainable. I just don't want them.

>>18813789
Your general personality is characterized by self-centeredness, often seeking attention and praise. You exaggerate your achievements, expecting others to recognize them as being superior. You tend to be choosy about picking friends, believing that not just anyone is worthy of being your friend. You tend to make good first impressions, yet have difficulty maintaining long-lasting relationships. You are generally uninterested in the feelings of others and may take advantage of them.

/a/ is lazy. Part of being a human is taking on challenges, and challenges are hard. Making and maintaining relationships takes effort, and /a/ puts effort into nothing other than finding their torrents and making the occasional sandwich.

>>18813802
Have it score over 135 in an officially administered IQ test and I'll consider it

Self-Diagnosing is never good. If you really think you got problems, go see a therapist or something. Its not hard at all and you'll most likely feel better for it.

Hey, Toua isn't a narcissist, he has every right to think highly of himself.

Bought a cat?
Well at least she's supposed to be healthy then...
I found mine on the street when she was underfed kitten, few more days and she'd probably die.
Picture related, she's my best friend.

>>18813874
You're an idiot. Narcissism isn't classified as wrongly acquired self worth. It's a general sense or great self worth, whether you can back your shit up or not.

i don't give a fuck about others unless they have a vagina, i don't have a job, i don't fear being rejected or embarrassing myself, i exaggerate the potential difficulties occasionally i suppose, but not to avoid it, i love a challenge, i don't create fantasy worlds, i don't yearn for social relations aside from a waifu, never depressed and am extremely confident, even a bit narcissistic.

so no.

all that being said i haven't left my house for more than 4 hours combined in the last 4 years. i got everything i want at home, aside from a girl. but i don't care to put forth the effort to get one, so fuck it.

Or what.. lol

Wait, so is there really nobody on this board who is able to function normally from a social level?
I'm kind of quiet myself, but jesus. Surely there is someone else here is doesnt have a waifu, doesnt stay inside all day and doesnt start ronery threads

>>18814074
Sorry, buddy, you're alone.

>>18814074
>is there really nobody on this board who is able to function normally from a social level?

Welcome to 4chan.

Don't worry, you'll fit right in.

>>18814074
I can function "normal" in a backwards-compatibility mode if necessary, but prefer to do as >>18813771

Not ronery, don't have a waifu, and enjoy walks.

>>18814016

leeching off your parents... that is kind of shit. how old are you?

move out, seriously. its so much better. get welfare.

i moved out and have welfare and go to class, class is good forced socialization.

>>18814022

I'm not looking to start a fight, I'm just making an educated guess.

From what I've seen, you are quite intelligent, probably close to me.

>>18814152
>class is good forced socialization
As is job.
But I got kicked from mine, they said I was using drugs.
That's crap, they had no evidence.

>>18814168
Then get another job

>>18814152
Can you tell me more about welfare? I'm 18 years old, live with my mom, dropped out of high school, etc.

Am I eligible for this? If so, how much money would I be getting?

>>18814074
Why would you hold any of that against anyone? You saying you can't be chums with someone who has those tendencies? I have a waifu and I function in society all the time. Got a problem with it? Wanna fight?

>>18814152
>class is good forced socialization.
Depends on the subject.

I usually sit alone, somewhere in the back rows (not too far off to avoid being told to sit a bit closer by the professor) silently taking my notes.

No socialisation involved here.

>>18814168

i dont like jobs.

ive been coming and going from class, skipping some days, skipping some weeks, and im still getting paid welfare.

the only thing is, if you crush on a girl, and you're having a hard time trying to talk with her, 2/3 hours of class is hell when you cant stop thinking about how to talk/get her attention/ask her out etc

>>18814168
>Had no evidence

You must have been doing them, since that's the first thing you said in your defense. If it was bad enough for other people to notice with no 'evidence' then you absolutely suck. If they fired you for another reason and made up the drug thing as an excuse, you absolutely suck. I have no respect for you or your little drugs.

>>18814158
well thanks, but I don't think 4chan is a place you can truly let your intellience shine

>>18814246
>I have no respect for you or your little drugs.
Some people can't lose weight, others take drugs, others don't go outside spending their lives watching animu and posting on imageboards.

Everyone got his own share of problems. Different preferences.

>>18814203

Australia. muahaha. i can help you if you live in Australia.

>>18814223

well then you're a lonely cunt. you've got no hope if you chose not to socialize. its different if you go out trying and fail. better to try and fail.

I don't like hanging out with people, or "socializing" as it's put.
Before, I used to yearn for some companionship, but after a series of events, that too went away.
Right now, the only thing I want is a job so I can afford me a new rig.

i'm 19. before you do the math, i was homeschooled during my high school years and i fucking loved it. so it's not like i'm 30 and sitting around being a bum, i can still get away with it kinda.

>>18813568
whats pretty much me, but i dont seek a job.
And, i do have friends. i meet them around once a week, and speak to them via internet daily.

>>18814316
>>18814152

my bad, i was replying to this guy.

>>18814302
Hey now, this is a thread for /a/voidants.

what's the OP anime?

>>18814302
>forced socialization
>chose not to socialize
I hope you realise it yourself and be a bit ashamed at least.

Anime is just another form of story telling, everyone wants to hear a story to take their mind off of the mediocricy that is life. Everyone tries to avoid most of the things they dislike, be it work, school or relationship troubles and hey who doesn't brush off some of our duties to watch the odd anime or read your favourite manga. I'd like to just think it's coincidence that people who like anime tend to be loners and or self conceited shut ins.

>>18814203
>how much money would I be getting?
Next to nothing. idk where that guy lives but in North America you can't live off welfare. Even if you could it doesn't last for long.

>>18814370
Even in Aus you can't live off the dole, and besides, no one will respect you living off welfare. No one

>>18814307

>I don't like hanging out with people, or "socializing" as it's put.

Same with me. I kinda like hanging around with my close friends, but not with other people.

I much prefer to be sitting playing some vidya, watching animu or being on /a/.

>>18814370
that really depends on the country. in most of europe, living only with welfares is actually pretty easy. iirc, there were one or two countries where you are pretty much forced to work (in europe.)

>>18814339
It doesn't just have to be that. Sure most anime's mindless escapist entertainment, but there's alot of truly inspirational stuff that people are better off for after seeing. How many people has Gurren Lagann inspired to be manly? Regardless of your personal opinion of it, works like this that geniunely inspire peoples lives have objective merit.

>>18814246
>I have no respect for you or your little drugs.

Hearty lol.
I didn't ask for your respect.
And my "little drugs|" were indeed minor prescriptions.
The "other people noticing" seems to have been more along the lines of "other people spreading rumors instead of doing ther supposed fucking work".

I was called back to work at the same place but not long after but I don't feel like working with people like that.
I'll find another job with coworkers that don't invade each others privacy or stab each other.

>>18814436
Ahh, you want to work with people that won't gossip? Thats great man, seriously.
Anyone you work with will form an opinion of you and if several people have an opinion about something, theyre gonna fucking talk about it

>>18814425

>How many people has Gurren Lagann inspired to be manly?

I salute you, Matsuda-chan.

>>18814333
No! It's for cats!

>>18814436
>I'll find another job with coworkers that don't invade each others privacy or stab each other.
Well good luck with that. In the workplace, anyone will do whatever it takes to be rid of competition and climb the ranks faster.

>>18814474
Hey, I understand that. It wasn't my first job.
Problem is just that the whole place was lacking any kind of camaraderie and everybody was just looking for a way to fuck up anyone else. I'd probaly quit anyway.

Avoiding in contradiction to anti-social, I hope. One must realize that not all people base their lives on excessive socializing.

And shyness is not a disorder. Such characer traits should not be medicalized.

>>18814478
Screw cats! Little shits sleep like 18 hours a day, make a fucking mess and never seem to care about their owner.

>>18814481
I've been working in a team (some kind of crisis consulting) and everyone was cool.

>>18814425
which is why they are still on /a/ whining about not having jobs/gf/friends? doesn't sound particularly manly to me.

I basically haven't been able to make a friend since high school. The few friends I have are great people, but the few times I've tried to be more social in college I just didn't like talking to people. It's been 2 years and the only friend I have here is someone I was friends with in high school.

There are times where I just think that I don't like talking to people, because even when I'm with my friends I'm pretty quiet. But I don't really think this is the case.

>>18814532
Depends on the cat, depends on the owner.

I'm 18, live by myself, never leave the house. Getting money through a social disability payment. I think I'm scared of real girls.

had a job once, developed a weird psychosis that prevented me from developing healthy relationships with my co-workers (chronic paranoia and shit, it was bad, I thought they were going to kill me honestly, i quit after an intervention with friends,a 'friend' from work and my mother). But still, it haunts me and I wish i could get a job that didnt make me sweat whenever i heard an innocuous comment.

I dont think that makes me avoidant, but it does make me fucked up probably.

luckily, the bottle doesn't judge me or whisper to other people about me , so it is all good.

... ;_;

>>18814531
>Such characer traits should not be medicalized.

You mean compulsory medication, or do you suggest to revoke rights to self-medicate? Don't be silly.

All of /a/ has assburgers, I swear.

To the people making excuses for themselves: being an introvert does not equal being a social retard

>>18814590
Try Valium.
Really, pretty low doses should be anough to smash the paranoia. Talk to your general practice doc about it, so it won't go in your medical record as a pych problem. You can also ask for it for insomnia and risk nothing.

>>18814550

Your definition of manly is wrong.

Manly is when you couldn't give 2 shits about anything around you except for some things you care about and you kill everything that threatens to harm those things.

Manly is when someone starts posting nigger gangrape doujins of your pure waifu and you don't CAPS LOCK at them, but you quickly and quietly cause them deep emotional trauma with a few words.

Manly is when you go to war and die to protect your allies.

Manly is when you act like a true martyr.

>>18814587
Imagine you're playing a VR life simulation game. True, there's no save and load slots, but girls are among less scary NPCs.

>>18814645
lulwut? Your definition of manly is just shit taken from action movies and Gurren Lagaan.
Manly is Clint Eastwood motherfucker

>>18814550
/a/ isn't one person, and an anime alone is generally not enough to change somebodies life. Real problems can't be solved by manifesting giant drills. All it can provide is a glimpse of inspiration. But sometimes that glimpse of inspiration hits you at just the right point in your life to tip the scales, and you can make a significant life change.

>>18814645
''Manly is when you couldn't give 2 shits about anything around you except for some things you care about and you kill everything that threatens to harm those things.''
yeah, lelouch is manly

>>18814645
In other words, manly=crazy.

>>18814531
>And shyness is not a disorder.
A certain degree of shyness is completely normal but it becomes a disorder where it's so distinct that it doesn't allow people to lead a normal life any more.

KAMINA IS NOT MANLY

>>18814724
You're playing on full-real mode.

>>18814724
You're playing ironman mode. One wrong step and EVERYTHING is ruined.

Better be careful.

Manly has no one definition. In general, it is a man worthy of respect for performing a deed that can be considered masculine (i.e. wrestling bears, punching sharks, saving a family of squirrels from a burning tree, etc).

>>18814812
Please explain how Kamina was not an overgrown child. None of his beliefs were admirable.

>>18814722
It has, several times. Once when I finished a show the emotions in me were welling so high I managed to break out of a year long severe depression almost instantly. But an external event like watching an anime is merely a catalyst. You have to be internally perpared aswell.

>>18814835
Eh, most people are used to surpress their emotions. With more extreme cases it's very hard to start anything.

>>18814828
What are you talking about? His belief that old axioms should be tossed aside was one of the main themes of the show. Watch the Rossiu introduction episode again. Also, he inspired Simon to become the savior of the universe. He knew Simon was special.

Kittan is manly because he sacrificed himself for the good of his comrades. How is that not manly.

I'm tired of arguing this.

now i just take it easy and get to know most people before i judge them.

i also read a LOT of dating/attraction stuff not just from Myster/Neil Strauss but from sociology textbooks too.

class is good because even though i know many tricks about girls and attraction and meeting girls and stuff, sometimes i get lazy... and class forces me to socialize.

in the end, i want to socialize.

social anxiety or /a/voidantfagism or whatever is just the problem of a shit person. you can fix it. very easily.

Just because it worked for you does not mean that it's something that anyone can "man up" and get over. For some people it's an actual psychological disorder. Luckily I'm not one of those people, but your comment still comes across and very ignorant and patronizing.

>>18815251

i have had something like social anxiety, gone through some different phases.

i believe it is actually something you can actually just get the fuck up and do something about. you can make friends and change that shit in a day. if you dont think you can, you're fucked.

but thats just my opinion dont mind me.

Maybe facepalming was a bit harsh but 'pick up artists' and their woman manipulation games are disgusting. Women who fall for it are equally retarded.

>>18815351
Chances are, you didn't have social anxiety then if you were easily capable of overcoming it by yourself, you were just being emo.

Cats you say?

>>18815468
You CAN overcome social anxiety, but it's near to impossible without help outside whether it means consulting or medicine.
Insisting it's impossible does no good for the cause, but maybe one of few thousand preple will be able to solve the issue themselves.
One thing for sure is that trying won't hurt more than not trying.

Okay, I'll post a cat I know.

>>18815408

you are a girl right? well you are forgiven for thinking its disgusting.

women arent scientists, women focus their energy on feelings(empathy) not sociology.

its not about getting women to 'fall for it', its learning about women, and what they want.

the thing i am saying is that women have no idea what they want. women arent sociologists and thats a typical reactionary statement to call it disgusting etc.

>>18815533
>One thing for sure is that trying won't hurt more than not trying.
Not necessarily true.

If the condition hasn't progressed too far, it might work out, but social anxiety will get worse after bad experiences.

Getting professional help is probably the best choice.

>>18815650

>>18815577

You're quite a douche, dear sir.

>>18815700
Took you long enough to realise that.

>>18815671
Getting professional help is, in fact, one way to try.
Because many will be to closed up to even ask for help as it will be too awkward and invade too much into personal space.
So when one gets better with professional help, credits go to him for having determination to seek resolution and go all the way through it.

Seeing as how 99% of girls are whores/retards I don't think I'm missing out on much.

This seems to be suitable thread for a little blogging.

I lost my fav panties ;_; You know, I was so blasted last night that I lost the sense of memory and when I woke up they were gone. I wonder what is this? Anyhow, which should I cook today pasta or rice with carrots? Such dullness and all, these carrots. Honestly, it is only Wednesday and the week has been totally effing boring and all. Yes, I have now washed any dishes or any laundry this week. You can only imagine. What else? Well, Rauol-chan has not mailed even though he said he would? I wonder what is up with that?

>>18815703
>I find it disgusting that a human relationship, something everyone should be entitled to, has been turned into an arcane science full of tricks and manipulation techniques.
Protip: The "arcane science" you speak of is courting, it exists in various forms for most species, and it has existed for countless centuries. Nothing's been "turned into" anything.

>>18815773
What kind of pasta?

>>18815806
Normal noodle pasta.

>>18815799
Humans may be animals, but to think they are nothing more than animals is pretty pessimistic. There's courtship, and there's manipulation. It's pointless to argue it any further because it'll devolve into an opinion fight, so I'll just say I don't like it.
