better off alone

i'm an asshole

I don't like people and I am not interesting to anybody except my wife.

I do, OP.

I'm only home because I'm sick.

i'm an alcoholic

I do and you are a faggot fuck off

I'm an INTJ. That's all you need.

Because I'm a miserable and angry person.

im an expat who has stayed too long because i had a son and all my friends left so now i just hang out with my family

Because I hate myself and the hatred radiates from me and engulfs everything. I'm not a bad person at the core of things (I will gladly house-sit your dogs for a week if your sister bails on you at the last second; I will get out of bed to pick you up from the bar and I won't feel the need to complain; I'll be there for you if you get arrested; I don't mind going out of my way for you and I'll never feel like you owe me something) but in day to day interactions I will be withdrawn and scornful and I won't want to spend any time with you, or if we do hang out I will say bitter and honest things in an uncouth way. I'm just uncomfortable being myself and so I push people away despite knowing better. I am afraid of being rejected when it's not of my own orchestration. No one loves me, I love no one. I am a very, very lonely person. But I do have love to give.

Happy new year!

I've alienated all the people I care for and who care about me. I feel like shit 90% of the time and don't want to impose myself on nice people.

i have friends

planning to do something tonight was just a clusterfuck of a bunch of different parties (most of which had at most 1 or 2 people i actually liked) and just procastination so i'm sat here doing nothing. whatever, i don't give a shit, who care.

I do have friends, I'm waiting for my turn on Just dance, 2 wiimotes, too many players
shit is cash
Happy new year co/cks/

SKYRIM

i spent 4 years on heroin and in & out of rehab so i have no idea what's socially appropriate and usually do something weird

I have a terrible tendency disregard all my friends in favor some stupid girl. And after I'm with that stupid girl for two years, my social life goes to the shitter. And we've only been apart for like a week, so I've had no time to make more friends.

I gradually realized that the stuff that I'm into is too esoteric to really try to expose my friends to and try to get them into it also, and most of them are into really mainstream stuff that I couldn't give a shit about, but which somehow we spend most of our time doing/watching/listening to, when hanging out together. I'm really non-controntational too, and perhaps passive-aggressive, so I'll sit down and watch a whole bunch of what the other guy is into & feign interest, then be like, "oh check out such-and-such that i've been getting into lately," and reception is so poor that I wind up apologizing for wasting their time, then it's back to the mainstream stuff. It seems to be the norm, I guess, that the stuff considered more mainstream gets priority in those situations.

They all live in Europe and I'm stuck 3000+ miles away from them

>>3313701
I, too, hope to find somebody like that.

>>3313776 - cont.
After a while, this pattern gets somewhat out-of-hand, as I begin to resent them for essentially enforcing their own interests as the socializing norm & being dismissive of my interests. Then they are often a bit shocked when I try to be honest and tell them that I'm really not into any of the shows, or whatever, that they normally want to watch. It's just some awkward shit that I avoid nowadays. Maybe I'll make it a NY resolution to use meetup.com & whatever else to seek friends mainly on the basis of shared interests.

>>3313787
let me guess.
"guys, I'm not really into Big Bang Theory"
"NOPE! BAZINGA!"

goddamn it.

I've moved 4 times in the past 3 years. The last one was especially bad.
I left behind a wonderful girl from an awesome place. My new life was selling jun at flea markets with a gay bipolar manic depressive man. I never got paid for the work due and promised me he would owe me. Near the end I kept track, he owed me 500 dollars. Though he did pay me back after i moved away, 20-50 dollars a month, until he got arrested for raping a underage boy. He still owes me around 350 in owed money.

Like i said I've moved and hope to start a new life

>>3313799
>selling junk

I never really had many friends to begin with, but wasn't a social outcast in any way either. I had a girlfriend for about two years.

Things went down the tubes about 5 years ago, and today I remain friendless, but for the last year and a half or so I've come to realize (after maybe maturing) that this friendless exile I've found myself in is purely of my own make. I've had enough moments where I've been talked to a person, or a group, and felt something of a connection with them, but I've always bowed out. Never intentionally, at least I don't think, but more in a sort of reactionary emotional response.

Perhaps in my time alone since things crumbled I've come to terms with my solitary lifestyle and don't want to give up my freedom. Maybe I don't like the feeling of being tied down with a clique of friends and having that define who I am. I don't think I'm a loner, as being alone frightens the SHIT out of me, but finding the kind of people I want to share my life with seems like a fucking pipe dream.

was depressed over the end of a long-term relationship. alienated myself from everyone and cut off all communication except for family. all of my friends probably think i'm dead now and i like it that way.

because i have a boyfriend. that's why!

And now you realize these are all excuses holding you back. /thread

>I'm an introvert
>The friends I had got married/had babies
>I moved away to go to grad school
>Grad students are all too busy to hang out
>I don't like any of them anyway

I've got a terminal disease and consciously pushed everyone who isn't family out of my life.

anime and ponies

I got picked on a lot at school and have low self confidence so I get nervous when I meet new people, I come close to having anxiety attacks if I have to call a stranger on the phone.

>>3313866
i think i can relate, depending partly on what you mean by
>call a stranger on the phone
what's 'stranger' in this context?

>>3313863
it's the fucking anime for me, too. it's probably region-specific, though, and clique-specific, as i'm aware of places & groups where people are more accepting of it.

Our lord and savior Jesus Christ is the only friend I need.

>>3313869
when I was at work part of my job was routinely calling somebody to check in on them. I would always have to look them up in the computer to see if they have a picture so I would be able to look at the person Im talking to and also need to calm myself down and center myself before I start making calls for the day.

Because you're a faggot, alright

>>3313875
ah, i gotcha now. i had a job like this for a while, and i am the worst at approaching random people on the street. i guess that since i felt like i was calling on behalf of someone else (the company i was working for), i didn't have to worry so much about my own personal shortcomings, as far as sociability is concerned. also, i'd normally arrive at an effective script after maybe a dozen phone calls, something that i could pitch without calling scrutiny to my demeanor.

because I have severe social anxiety and haven't left the house in almost 10 years

I have friends on 4chan though. You guys love me ...don't you?

you might be a bad person

Not Food/Cooking

I didn't have friends around because I had just moved to a new city.

As of a few weeks ago, I have some friends. Feels good, man.

>>3313899
Yes

Because everyone I've ever met is a lying coward.

because i'm smarter then everyone else and they are to stupid to know that's why they hate me

>>3313696

Because I have to gold all guns on MW3.

>>3313696
I honestly don't know. I just don't know how to make friends.

It's so weird, the biggest assholes seem to have friends and/ or are married, so I really wonder what's wrong with me. Shit, son.

>>3314064
If you have a decent career, house, family-making abilities, you can land a wife. If you have nothing to offer someone in a relationship except for your sweet self, then why would anyone want to start a family with you and worry about poverty? Success first, and lovelife will follow.

We became roomates. Now I hate them

>>3314069
Well I'm female, also have a decent career - nothing that could "scare" a man, though, I don't think - I guess I'll just have to spend some of my free time among people for a start...

>>3313846
>>3313846
A thousand times THIS!!! But i still have friends though.
Also, people hear my accent and want to know more about me than i'm willing to share at the time

>>3313848
Me too. But also because I really didn't like them all that much, either.

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANY

>>3314087
>>3313697
these. also this.
>>3313730
feel guilty if not getting things done all the time, so just take a bare minimum of free time. don't want to saddle myself with any unnecessary social responsibilities; not enough time in the day to get satisfactory amnt. done+take brief quiet occasional needed breather+social. so:
>>3313863

>>3313899
we do.

I'm a misanthropic self hating asshole aspie. At least I'm not a virgin.

making friends can be hard.

In high school and undergrad you have your classes, but you have a lot of free time or you play sports so you have all your teammates. And in college you have the dorms and everything so it is very easy to hang out. (this applies to getting girlfriends too, not just friends)

Then once you work full time, you have so little time (compared to college/High school) to do stuff with people. Not to mention that your coworkers may or may not be around your age and may or may not have similar interests.

Grad school should,k in theory, be easier to make friends, but people are busy, they work, and possibly are already busy with families/serious girlfriends of their own.

But I have friends...

Because I'm home-schooled.
