Live with my dad
I don't know, sheltered upbringing, probably
Like 20 minutes every 2 days, to go to the shop to buy energy drinks and spaghetti, which I eat raw.
Theft.
Online, yes.
4chan, vidya and anime.
My dad's happy as long as I don't kill anyone, and at least seem to make an effort towards getting a job, one of my internet friends envies my situation.
If I had goals, I doubt I'd be in this situation in the first place.

Nobody
I moved out after college when I got a job.
Almost daily, typically 9 hours for work.
I get paid to go to work and do stuff.
No.
TV, reading, some games.
I don't know.
Get a nicer car some day.

>Who do you live with?
Mom and sis
>How did you get to this stage?
Parents divorced. That's all.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
everyday, for work. And almost every weekend to see my friends
>How do you pay for yourself?
with my job. Mom pays the food and the house stuff tho. I pay my shit
>Do you have friends?
Yes
>What do you do with your spare time?
i don't have much spare time.. i also go to the university.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
My parents used to tell me i was lazy and stuff, but not anymore. My friends always expect big stuff from me, coz i'm the "smart one" in the group. But i don't give a shit, as long as nobody bothers me, they can think whatever they want
>Do you have any goals for the future?
Not really. My only goal would be "being happy" which kinda means having a family, being loved, and loving someone... having kids, doing what i like.. etc. Feeling good.

>Who do you live with?
Share a room with a school-funded dorm.

>How did you get to this stage?
Preferred to be a financial and emotional burden for a school rather than my poor mother who had to cope with me for 22 years.

>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
I like to go to a nearby hypermarket at Saturdays and Sundays. Takes around two hours altogether. I like walking around the aisles and looking at all the goods people buy at a regular basis, but which I can't foresee the day I'm going to buy myself at all (electronics, books, quality food).

>How do you pay for yourself?
State does.

>Do you have friends?
No, not even in the Internet, though those I guess I could reestablish if I wanted.

>What do you do with your spare time?
4chan, falling asleep whenever I reach for something to read for classes.

>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
Mother says I'm making "progress" and that I have somehow been brave (I moved to a different city), but that's because she has an exaggerated view of my social difficulties. She thinks I have it hard for some reason.

>Do you have any goals for the future?
- Getting a job through being overqualified/overpaid;
- Renting a room;
- Continuing to live till I (1) give up caring to avoid contact with people and controlling the degree to which I socialise (as I currently do, just for laughs, for there isn't any purpose to it) and just let myself live normally, (2) die of old age, or (3) let unfavourable circumstances, should any come, prompt me to kill myself. (Not going to happen).

>Who do you live with?
Grandparents. Not long-term though.
>How did you get to this stage?
A lot of problems stemming from my interactions with other people.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Maybe twice a week, for less than an hour.
>How do you pay for yourself?
Grandparents currently. But they want it over soon. Either I get a job, or move out.
>Do you have friends?
One.
>What do you do with your spare time?
Internet
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
My parents disapprove. My friend probably disapproves too but she keeps that shit to herself.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
Kill myself? I'm not sure.

*Share a room with a roommate in a school-funded dorm.

I guess the precision you write with corresponds to how you feel about yourself.

Parents
Social anxiety got the best of me
Once per week, maybe for 15 minutes to stock up on food.
I saved up a lot of money when I first graduated from college. I was lucky I got an excellent paying job, getting close to three times what other graduates were getting.
Nope.
Anime and 4chan.
"GET OUT OF OUR HOUSE AND FIND A FUCKING JOB YOU WASTE OF LIFE!!!"
None, I wish it could stay like this all the time--without the yelling that is.

>Who do you live with?
My brother.
>How did you get to this stage?
We live below the poverty line, combining our finances was the only option.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
For school only, which is about 3 hours a day. We share a car, so there's no time for a social life.
>How do you pay for yourself?
Washing dishes at a nursing home (19 years old, small town, no other options).
>Do you have friends?
A couple. I hardly ever see them, though.
>What do you do with your spare time?
School work, casual vidya, tv, reading.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
Not enough friends for them to care, family knows why I'm never out doing social things.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
To become a successful, functioning member of society.

>>462908
>>463140
>>463140

What are both your lives like? Do you always avoid social interaction an are always alone 24/7? sgh

>Who do you live with?

My mom and dad

>How did you get to this stage?

Father became disabled, lost house, became poor, family on a thread, previous friends being assholes/druggies etc

>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?

During the summer once a month, but I attend college now so a couple days a week

>How do you pay for yourself?

I'm the only child and don't ask for my parents to buy me anything & I don't buy more than $100 worth of depreciating assets a year

>Do you have friends?

No

>What do you do with your spare time?

4chan, masturbating, reading & scheming

>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?

Get a lot of shit from my mom about my ways but I'm their only child so they don't have any other backup plan if I kill myself

>Do you have any goals for the future?

Ever since I dwindled even further beyond my lower middle class status I've got more of a passion to generate assets. I'd like to someday buy a large amount of land to build a lot of different projects I've been thinking of. When I die most of my money will go to charity and research unless I have a responsible child (the probability of me having a child is slim)

>Who do you live with?
Parents
>How did you get to this stage?
Didn't have good friends on high school, said "fuck it" on my senior year and focused on studying to the sats to get to a good college. After three months in college realized that major wasn't for me and dropped out. Didn't made any good friends on those three months.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Daily, for a hour and a half - four hours. But summer vacation is coming on december so that will be reduced to like one hour a week. (south emisphere fag)
>How do you pay for yourself?
Parents
>Do you have friends?
Yes, like 2-3. But I get the feeling that they don't like seeing me like more then once every two months or invite me to do social stuff. I must be boring.
>What do you do with your spare time?
4chan, anime, series, videogames.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
Parents don't give a shit usually, but always tell me to go out and shit. I've been like this my whole life so it's no big surprise.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
This summer (december-march) I want to grow some muscle so I can look somewhat hawt when I start college on march and start my life again.

>Who do you live with?
My parents.

>How did you get to this stage?
I pushed away all my friends, I was brought up sheltered and my family doesn't go out often so staying at home in my room is natural.

>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Depends. I like leaving the house if I'm going somewhere with my family, except if we're going to be out longer for more than 4 hours.

>How do you pay for yourself?
My parents do. They don't mind.

>Do you have friends?
One offline friend, an ex that I'm pushing away for his own good.

>What do you do with your spare time?
I browse 4chan, listen to music, play video games, try to muster up some motivation to study languages, which I like a lot.

>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
They don't say anything about it.

>Do you have any goals for the future?
I want to travel and live abroad for some time, although I know that I'll want to come home to my room if I'm gone for too long. Also I'd like to be fluent in several languages. I don't think either will happen.

I replied to all these and for some reason it didn't go through. Feels bad, man. I can't even competently make a post on 4chan anymore...

>you will never have a shut-in girl live in your house and function as a sort of decoration

>Who do you live with?
with my two friends
>How did you get to this stage?
i had to leave home after my dad died, i dont wanna talk about it

i guess im just living by the day
>Do you have friends?
already answerd
>What do you do with your spare time?

>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
buddies are okay with it, but i recently met my childhood friend, she thinks that i changed and become irresponsible

i might return home, and reclaim my kingdom

Well, there are many people at my school who on average talk less than me on corridors during breaks. I'm not shy to make a random comment when there is good opportunity to make one. But I just refuse to deign to seek company. It's pure defiance. I'm a social underachiever. I do it to maintain my self-esteem. I'm 23, but mentally I'm 13.

It doesn't affect my life much, though, because I'm EXTREMELY inexperienced in practically every aspect of life (for example: I can remember only once being in a restaurant without being accompanied by family, never went to cinema by myself, hardly listen to music, never sought entertainment which involved cooperating with strangers). So even though socialising would give me access to many new activities, I would probably choose not to do them anyway.

>nobody
>moved into an apartment
>once a day, usually to go class or do usual things like shop for food
>a job
>very little
>4chan, vidya, Internet
>they all think I'm lonley, but I'm living the fucking life
>studying to be a lawyer, I fucking love debating

>Who do you live with?

Friends

>How did you get to this stage?

I'm a student. We arranged to live in the same flat.

>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?

Rarely. Once a day at most. Normally only ever leave to go to the shop or to a lecture. Never go out clubbing or drinking.

>How do you pay for yourself?

Mother died two years ago. Have about 20,000 GBP left from life insurance. It's getting me through university rather well.

>Do you have friends?

Some. Probably fewer than the average person. I could probably count my friends on one hand and have a few fingers spare.

>What do you do with your spare time?

Internet, vidya, read, play music, write.

>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?

I'm not sure my dad realises just how antisocial I am. I think he knows I don't like going out, but he probably doesn't realise the extent of my introversion.

>Do you have any goals for the future?

Get a good job that I enjoy. Get a girlfriend whom I can love. Those two things are all I ask for.

>>463468

so you can make conversation easily for hours and hours but you just choose not to make friends? I don't get it, why would you even bother going out if you don't want to befriend the people?

>Who do you live with?
my parents, in the basement.
>How did you get to this stage?
Was social in high school and had some good friends. Lost tough with them after school, haven't made any new friends at all.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
usually everyday, only to go buy a fountain drink to fuel my addiction
>How do you pay for yourself?
I don't, my parents give me gas money to go to and from school, about $50 every other week
>Do you have friends?
Nope, not even online.
>What do you do with your spare time?
dick around online
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
people think I'm gay because I never talk about women or have had a girlfriend, they also get on my case alot about finding a job. Even when I really try hard to find work, there is nothing
>Do you have any goals for the future?
Find someone to fall in love with, and be truly loved in return. Sadly this is very unlikely.

>>463552
I don't "go out" (apart from annual meetings of a certain forums, which I decided I should quit since next year anyway). But, yes: I don't want contact even though I can have it (and, on a different level, DO want it), however ridiculous this sounds.

I guess it's a bit like anorexia (I think I used to be semi-anorectic). Being sociable is something you can quantify easily: you spend (or not) this much time with friends, you have (or not) this many friends, you go out (or not) this often. So you can hope to prove something by denying yourself these things.

>Who do you live with?
Dad
>How did you get to this stage?
I got my friends from lucky circumstances, so when I lost them (they all went to different colleges and such, so we slowly lost contact) I was friendless, and to bad socially to make more.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Almost everyday for college. I do occasionally sleep through the day when I shouldnt though.
>How do you pay for yourself?
My parents (my Dad pays for the house and my food, my Mom sends me money monthly for me to buy anything else)
>Do you have friends?
No.. well. Not really. I have some people that may call me a friend, but we hardly talk or see one another. I have a few people on the internet, but most of them arent close. The exception to the rule is a girl I've been friends with online for 3 years. I've asked her out recently and she hasn't said no. She hasnt said yes either.. She's expressed interest and we still talk about it, but I get the impression she doesn't want it as much as I do. (she's taking her time to decide, I want it to happen right now)
>What do you do with your spare time?
Internet. 4chan, youtube, videogames. I'm currently on a mission to sort out my life, so do a lot of research into that. Though ironically I do this when I should be doing college work - which is what I should really be doing to sort out my life.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
My parents used to be worried and have a go at me during my teen years and before, but now they seem ok with it. I'm sure they secretly hoped for better out of me though, but I dont blame them for that.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
This is what I'm trying to work out. I don't know what my direction in life is. I'm on a mission to improve my life in a general sense though, such as working out and improving my knowlege, sleeping, etc. The idea is it's a cycle; being succesful should make me happier, and happiness should motivate me to be more succesful.

>Who do you live with?
My mother and step-father
>How did you get to this stage?
I left school when I was 16 because I fail at social situations and it really hurt that no girls were interested in me. I then developed pretty intense social anxiety.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
I go for walks about twice a week and I like going for drives in my car, but other than that I rarely go out.
>How do you pay for yourself?
Sickness benefit, after paying board I don't get much left over, but I live comfortably
>Do you have friends?
Nope
>What do you do with your spare time?
Internet, gaming, downloading shit, that's about it
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
They are understanding, they do a lot for me and I really appreciate it.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
None at all, I want love but I know I don't have anything to offer in a relationship. So I'll just be lonely.

>Who do you live with?
My boyfriend

>How did you get to this stage?
I was always a bit of a loner, and lived in the middle-of-nowhere so everyone lived miles away. I left for uni, dropped out, and didn't want to face anyone, least of all the friends I'd made on my course; they could only serve a constant reminder of my own failure. Shortly after, I met up with my high school friends for New Year's, which was just fucking awful. I stopped talking to them and, living abroad, don't ever cross their paths. Having no job, and getting rejected time after time everywhere I applied ground me down; for about a year and a half I festered. Then I started volunteering in a charity shop, got out of the house and around people. Then I got a job at KFC.

>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Quite often now, for aout 5-6 hours on average. Sometimes go out driving with my boyfriend at the weekend.

>How do you pay for yourself?
Before my boyfriend paid for me... But now, I'm working (it's not a great job, but hey, it's something). I also have about 55,000 GBP in inheritance, no idea what the fuck to do with it because I'm terrible with money, lacking in creativity, and terrified of touching such a sum.

>Do you have friends?
Just my boyfriend, sad as it is. I blocked everyone else else out, bar my family.

>What do you do with your spare time?
I love to read. I also play video games, watch TV, lurk online.

>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
Not really sure, I think my Mum wishes I were a bit more normal. But, I don't see her massively often.

>Do you have any goals for the future?
I should invest in myself now I have my inheritance, but come to a brick wall when it comes to making decisions.

>>463603
>>463603

do you think you'll always be friendless and alone girlfriend, marriage and all? Do you still have those social skills?

>Who do you live with?
My Mum and my two brothers.
>How did you get to this stage?
I couldn't get the job that I wanted after graduating from university. I ended up with a job that I hated and wasn't much good at and was sacked after a few weeks. Goodbye confidence. I didn't know what else to do career-wise and so I ended up stuck, procrastinating over what to do for the past three years.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Daily. For a few hours each time. I walk my aunt's dog in a forest nearby just to be by myself.
>How do you pay for yourself?
Dole queue.
>Do you have friends?
Yep, though I infrequently meet up with them.
>What do you do with your spare time?
4chan, workout, swim.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
Concerned. I went from beer swilling, party-going extrovert to a shut-in pretty quickly and I've stayed there for quite a long time. I'm a lot better now, but I was in a borderline catatonic depression and spent most of the day sleeping. I started to lose weight and my face became really gaunt. It looked like I was dying. Now I have chronic gastritis that flares up once in a while from the stress of having to socially interact with others but I'm trying to get over it.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
Yep, short-term I'm going to achieve ottermode before the summer and I'm going to try and get a part-time job sometime next year. Long-term, I want to get rich doing something I enjoy.

Are you 16 "smart one"?

Can I still fill this out even if I'm *not* a complete douchebag?

>Who do you live with?
My wife and my dog.
>How did you get to this stage?
Long story short, I was enough of a loser to not have a girlfriend by grade 12 when my now-wife expressed interest in me (but not enough of a loser to prevent her from being attracted to me, anyway). Cue shitty job and later $90,000 mortgage.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Well, every day, 'cause I need to go to work. And like, grocery shopping and shit. Every now and then I'll go to a friend's or relative's house for at least a few hours.
>How do you pay for yourself?
Just got a much better job paying upwards of 20 bux an hour (with the phone company lolz).
>Do you have friends?
I couldn't count all the people I consider friends on both hands, but my circle is really not too wide at all. Probably less than 20.
>What do you do with your spare time?
Mostly video games, taking a wiki walk, reading, walking the dog. Other than that there's the odd time that we go out.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
My mom has no problems, I'm living a respectable life and I turned out to be a pretty decent guy, so she's glad. My dad thinks I'm a cool guy, so yeah. As far as I know the only complaint some of my friends have is that we don't see each other often enough.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
To get rich and do whatever I want. 4 rlz.

>live with mummy and duddy and two older bwoders
>always been a shut-in
>leave house to go to school, walk dogs for a few minutes, and go on a run when it's dark so no one will see me. Never out for more than an hour.
>daddy pays for everything
>have around 10 close friends but 40 or 50 not as close friends
>I have a shit ton of hobbies. Like, a lot.
>my parents think I spend most of my time studying..which is only half true, so they're pretty supportive about it
>heh I hope to get a job ANY JOB as long as it can sustain me and my hobbies

I'm not alone 24/7. I'm around people when I'm at work, though most of the time I'm dug into my cube.

At home, I'm alone almost all the time though. Like I said. I watch TV, play a few games, read... On Saturdays, I go to the movie theater by myself in the afternoon, then eat dinner at a cafe. Sundays, I do laundry or something inane.

>Who do you live with?
Myself.
>How did you get to this stage?
I had to move out when I got a new job?
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?

>Do you have friends?
Yes.
>What do you do with your spare time?
I browse 4chan. More so /a/.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
My Dad's happy I got the job I have, but I think he wishes I cleaned up the house I'm living in so I could move to another room.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
Yeah. I want to go back to school.

I'm also going to report everyone who honestly answers they are underage b&.

>>465380

do you think you'll always be alone friendless without a girl or wife living on your own? I do for me, also what are you like at work? I could never get a job and become a social butterfly, I think it'd just make my anxiety worse.

>Who do you live with?

My roommate, on thanksgiving break right now so I'm with my parents

parents think I'm a slight failure, friends don't know enough to count
my fucking job would be nice. past that, starting a family with a woman that loves me (impossible, I know, but I can dream)

Somewhat of a shut-in here.

>>467030
I think most of us are just posting to make true shut ins feel bad. Also a more correct term to use would be 'asocial' as opposed to 'antisocial.'

High anxiety, fear of taking public transit/going out alone

>Do you have any goals for the future?
Honestly, I'm really comfortable with my life right now. If I could find a job that only required me to work one or two days a week, and give me enough to have an apartment and internet, I'd be set.

I've been lurking here for a few days, and all I've seen are threads where people sulk over their status as social pariahs.

>>467142
>mfw I still don't know how to properly browse 4chan
Disregard this.

>>467142
This board used to be better, yes there was a lot of complaining about depression and such. But it wasn't as much about women and had actually good intelligent discussion sometimes.

>>467172

Yes, now the board is all about how people complain about foreveralones who complain about the board quality, fuck off already.

>>467142
I like to know I'm not alone in my fear of life and there are people like me, also I like to talk about maybe a miracle happening where I will get a girlfriend.

>>467194
Wasn't complaining, just informing.

>Who do you live with?
It's a pretty nice arrangement where I live alone in whichever house my parents aren't in that season. In the winter I stay in their Nantucket cottage (Nantucket in the winter is like a shut-in's wet dream, so beautifully desolate and empty), and in the summer I stay in their house in Brookline (basically Boston).
>How did you get to this stage?
I was doing really, really well, but then due to an unpredicted, dramatic increase in my anxiety around Thanksgiving of my senior year of college I never graduated. I've tried to look for a job a few times since then (when my symptoms were on the wane), but nothing brings them back quicker than your typical job application process. Why didn't you finish school? So you're applying for this job but don't have experience...WHY? Finally I was applying for jobs so shitty they were asking stuff like, "What does customer service mean to you?"
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
In Brookline, maybe once every three or four days. I just walk to Trader Joe's and back to buy groceries. I've tried using Stop & Shop Peapod (since I rely on ordering shit online for books, clothes, and almost everything else), but the delivery guy was always the same and he always wanted to strike up a conversation with me and it freaked me out. On Nantucket it's a lot better, I leave the house practically every day and just go for walks, or drives if it's too cold. I love walking down the beach with a grey sky and no humans in sight.
>How do you pay for yourself?
Grandparents left me a very modest trust fund that covers my basic expenses, and I don't have to pay rent or utilities (including cable, cell phone, and internet) because of the parentals.

>>467142
Every board has their own culture. Welcome to /r9k/.

As for this thread, the way I live might be unusual, but I don't sulk over it.

>>467202
You are truly the most pathetic type of person in existance. Why are you so fucking obsessed with relationships? And if you truly want to meet someone HOW HAVE YOU NOT YET? Your standards are obviously low (or are they?).

>>467219
Very well. I'm just used to all the different boards being related to what they were called. Being depressed just didn't strike me as very robotic.
My apologies if I offended any of you, I was simply curious.

>>467202

You know...have you ever wondered how you're close to your parents when all you do is stay in your room sulking about your friendless girlfriendless status? Hell, I bet your online friends would just laugh at you if they found out.

>I live alone
>I dropped out of highschool because waking up at 07:00 sucks and the whole sitting in a class with a teacher spewing curriculum based facts at me didn't work for me, not at that time.
>haven't left in over 6 months, last time I did was for a wedding of a friend and I spent less than 5 hours outside before coming back home
>yes I do pay for myself
>I have a few people one might define as friends, they still talk to me on an every other day basis
>vidya all day erry day, and movies and shows I guess, exceptional books too. Media consuming would be a good way to put it.
>my parents used to say it's a phase, now I guess they just think "whatever makes him happy", my friends and brothers agree.
>I do not have any goals or hopes.

>>467241
The robot refers to not being able to post the same content twice.

>>467215

>Do you have friends?
I had some in school, we still exchange facebook comments, but I never answer the phone if they call. I have people I know from various online forums and communities, but I'd never get in touch with them irl either.
>What do you do with your spare time?
Read, cook, work on wikipedia articles, watch movies, etc.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
My parents are very good people, they don't assume that I'm just lazy and more or less let me live life how I want to.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
Getting a job would be great, but I'd also like to finish writing a novel and maybe even get it published.

>>467226
Only type of person and not the most pathetic person in existence? I feel hurt. But I'm not sure why I haven't found anyone yet, the hold "standard" I have is just someone who can enjoy the same interests as me and will love me back.

>>467243
I don't discuss any of this stuff with my parents so they don't really know how I really feel, but I talk with my dad often and he plays a lot of vidya so we can stay close, as for my mum, I talk to her on Skype often. But well, as for my online friends finding out? They already know. All my online friends go on /r9k/.

>>467246
here
didn't notice how you pay for yourself
>daytrader

>>467264
You're the guy that made that thread the other day, aren't you. The one that owns the bar?

>Who do you live with?

Parents

>How did you get to this stage?

I decided I don't want to live anymore but whenever I leave the car running in the garage, I don't have the guts to stay there, so I decided that I will kill myself slowly perhaps even bring myself to being willing to do a fast suicide by eroding away any hope for my life in the future.

>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?

I leave to go to work. I work just enough to make it seem like I'm trying to improve myself or have a life in the eyes of my parents.

>How do you pay for yourself?

I vote for liberal politicians

>Do you have friends?

No
>What do you do with your spare time?

Browse the internet and play videogames. I used to read a lot, especially in high school, but I got bored and disinterested in books.

>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?

My Dad is ashamed but doesn't have the heart to admit it or the balls to attempt to "set me straight", so he is very distant. My mother protects herself from the shame of a failed son and the potential guilt she might feel for it (undeserved, but you know how mothers are) by convincing herself that I'm just "in a rut" and that this is just a "chapter" of my life that I will surpass.

>Do you have any goals for the future?

Find the will to end my life as soon as possible.

>>467255
>>467255

you're online friends must be as lonely and pathetic as you then.

>>467271
I am not, last thread I started was about this pic.

>if i ever get rid of the anxiety i might get a job as a programmer somewhere

>>467284
I don't mind you insulting me but you don't have to say anything about my friends, they are awesome people who aren't like me at all.

>>467348

>implying online friends are real friends

They will eventually stop talking to you.

>>467448
I dunno, man. I met a friend of mine online two years ago, we're now planning to move in together and he wants to start a business with me.

>Who do you live with?
Well, I USED to have a roommate/best friend with whom I decided to start a new life 600 miles away from home. We got an apartment together under the assumption that we'd be here for each other and try to get our lives started as individuals. Then she met some faggot online, brought him home on their first date and now lives at his house. So I pretty much live alone.
>How did you get to this stage?
See above.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Once every other day for groceries or coffee.
>How do you pay for yourself?
I had a terrible job until about last week, one for which I had to commute 2 hours a day and work a 9 hour shirt in a call center. I still have a fairly decent savings so I'm ok.
>Do you have friends?
I did. Back home. Left them all. Now I do not.
>What do you do with your spare time?
Watch Paranormal shows on Netflix, play Rift, read obscure fantasy novels I found at Bookman's, jog.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
No one is really aware of how depressed and lonely I am because I don't like to complain to people I know. As far as they know, I'm doing fine.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
Move, I guess. I already offered the bitch the apartment since I'm obviously such a nuisance that she can't spend more than an hour here a week while she's picking up more of her clothes to take to her fly-by-night boyfriend's place.

>>467255

>all of my friends go on /r9k/

that is some posse. I bet you think you're on top of the world.

>>467523
>I bet you think you're on top of the world

I wish, I think I'm the most pathetic and worthless person on earth.

>>467549

not them, but at least you have online friends and a personality to gain them and a close relationship with your parents. My parents can't stand me for staying up in my room all day and night.

>>467627
Well I don't really have a personality at all, it's just adding or being added in those contact threads, talking about video games and that's pretty much it, as for my dad, it's the same kind of thing, video game talking and well, my mum just is really over protective and always wants to know about me and stuff. I guess I'm lucky on the parent side but as for the friends thing, just add people in those threads if they say that they are into vidya or something something else you enjoy.

-My parents
-A mixture of depression, lack of resolve for anything and lifelong introversion. Having nothing to do and nowhere to be doesn't help.
-I leave only on weekends to go to the library or supermarket, but I don't even do that much anymore.
-I don't. I leech off of my parents' income. I rarely feel guilty because of their sub-par parenting (or lack of parenting) along with the fact that if they really wanted to help me get a life, they'd help me get a life.
-Yes, but not really. I never see or talk to them anymore. -Most of them moved for school and the rest can't be fucked to talk to me because I don't have anything going on with my life and I dislike small talk.
-Video games, writing, browsing online, watching movies.
-I'm sure my parents dislike it but they're used to it now and ignore my existence just like everybody else.
-None. I wanted to get married and have children, but I think it is selfish to want that and I doubt I'll ever get to that point.

This looks like a "Everyone post, no one read" thread, but eh...I'll answer any other questions. I used to be extroverted and productive in life.

>>468006
I've been reading everyone else's responses, there just isn't much to say.

>Who do you live with?
Mom and sis
>How did you get to this stage?
Just turned 18, will be moving out within the next couple of years
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Everyday usually about 9 hours.
>How do you pay for yourself?
Bursary money, sell shit on eBay, sell fake things (i.e. tickets)
>Do you have friends?
Yep
>What do you do with your spare time?
Vidya, socialise
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
Mom is cool about it all
Friends even cooler about my life
>Do you have any goals for the future?
Yep, good job, money and a decent girlfriend

>>467737

Why would I ever want to make friends here? I'd rather just be alone to be honest.

>>468006

>implying you just wont become extrovert again and get friends, a life, and a family

fuck you normalfag.

I use to be a shut-in for 2 years, so I'll answer as if I was still that person. Now I'm in college working towards my goals. Could still be considered as a shut-in I guess, as I go to college, come back and stay in my room till college again. Don't have friends. Anyway,

>Who do you live with?
Father and younger brother
>How did you get to this stage?
Life slowly fell apart since my mother died. Eventually became introverted and isolated. Dropped out of education.
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
I don't. Been out a few times to go to the library and get some books. Otherwise, I largely stay in my room, sometimes go downstairs.
>How do you pay for yourself?
My father does, but I don't ask for anything as he doesn't have any money really. I get fed, bills paid, but I don't get new clothes or games or anything else.
>Do you have friends?
Nope (still don't)
>What do you do with your spare time?
Practice my web development. Maid some money from it too so I guess I could be considered semi-professional. That or I play games, browse 4chan, practice my Mathematics or languages.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
Friends I use to have before I became isolated don't know. When they ask, I make up some bullshit. My father is alright with me not being in education, but I should seek a job, or apprenticeship instead.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
To make bank so I can pay back my father, and people my father stole money from (whole new story). Once I've made bank, I want to travel for years at a time. I also want to change the world somehow, so maybe politics later in my life. Use my Maths skills (They're alright. I'm sitting the British Maths Olympiad in less than a month's time) to help somehow.

>Who do you live with?
Mother
>How did you get to this stage?
Divorced parents; still living at home
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Only on weekends to hangout with friends who are off work.
>How do you pay for yourself?
I don't, other than the few games i purchase with money i've made selling mmo accounts
>Do you have friends?
A tight-knit group of bros
>What do you do with your spare time?
Play vidya and surf the web. If incredibly bored I'll work-out or clean around the house.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
They're understanding
>Do you have any goals for the future?
To finally get hired for a career and get on with my life.

>Who do you live with?

Parents

>How did you get to this stage?

Being a social outcast and heavily disliking the outside world and society.

>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?

A couple of days for a few hours for work

>How do you pay for yourself?

Shitty slightly above minimum wage job stacking shelves at night.

>Do you have friends?

Zero.

>What do you do with your spare time?

PC games, anime, movies and tv shows. Basically never leave my PC.

>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?

They're glad I am not into drugs or a criminal like most of the people where I live.

>Do you have any goals for the future?

I'm 26 and its pretty much impossible to change when you don't have good social skills or connections.

>Who do you live with?
Parents,grandmother, dog and cat.
>How did you get to this stage?
Parents sheltering and mindfucking me. They never pushed me (ie; I don't even know how to ride a bike), lack of drive, depression, social anxiety, bad experiences when I did get out on my own.

>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
Maybe a few times a month,anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.

>How do you pay for yourself?
Food stamps or if my parents ever pay me for house/yard work.
>Do you have friends?
I did. One had brain cancer as a kid and started donig fucked up shit, and the other is an angry drug addict with even less drive then me..who always insists he's right and knows everything. Also a racist and possible pedophile...
>What do you do with your spare time?
Work on computers, watch tv, movies, documentaries, anime, write scifi, philosophize, watch the animals outside, garden, etc.
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
My parents complain that I don't have a job and do nothing around the house, but always expect me to do most everything for them. Most people I meet/talk to my age are in the same shit situation.
>Do you have any goals for the future?
To live long enough to watch my parents die after years if not decades of pain. I'd like a job, a house, a wife, kids..but I don't really think that's gonna happen. My first wife left me for a child molester and is currently engaged to her cousin, and the majority of my exes ended up cheating on me and leaving me, so. Plus, I have no money, so clearly no woman would even look at me.

>Who do you live with?
my parents and my brother
>How did you get to this stage?
i didn't want to do anything after high school, so after i graduated i just stayed inside and sat on the internet and it's continued for 3 years now
>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
on average about once every 2 days and usually just to get coffee and a power bar at 3am. occasionally i have other reasons to go out (picking up something at the post office, errands, hanging out etc.) but it's still never for more than a couple hours.
>How do you pay for yourself?
i've been getting stocks for christmas ever since i was born, at this point i get a dividend cheque every 3 months for $300 and that's enough to pay for my hobbies. everything essential is paid for by my parents by proxy of living with them.
>Do you have friends?
yeah 2 but one's always working and the other is only around town a couple months a year
>What do you do with your spare time?
play video games, watch anime, post on 4chan, listen to music, various things related to fashion design
>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
1st year parents didn't care as i claimed i needed a year off, 2nd year parents got concerned, demanded i get a job or leave the house for 6 hours a day, i did just that and played PSP in the forest next to my house or hung out at the internet cafe, this year i've now got plans to go to school so they are completely cool and encouraging. friend who works envies me a bit and thinks the whole thing is pretty funny other friend lives a similar lifestyle (except with short term part time jobs to finance himself)
>Do you have any goals for the future?
yeah, go to school for fashion design

>Do you have any goals for the future?
online dating, getting more state money

Live with parents.
Failed out of college.
Work late night to early morning, cc classes in the afternoon
Buy things with my weak salary, family provides room/board
I have 4 really close friends who are occasionally home from university
video games, movies, tv, 4chan
They think I should get out more, cant drive though due to an OVI
Get promoted at work, get a second job

I am a shut-in mainly because I am basically a sociopath. I gave up on caring about people and am only out for myself but I keep my family and close friends dear, leaving a bit of humanity.

A year ago I was addicted to huffing computer cleaner and crashed my car, now have no license and am on probation. Hoping to get off probation this week, would like to be able to smoke weed.

Literally all I care about is smoking weed and having money so I can buy videogames and DVDs. I was in one real relationship in my life and it was a waste of time and effort (not to mention money). Believe I will move out of the USA to the Netherlands where at least I can purchase weed and use prostitutes legally.

Existence does not necessarily entail life, but life necessarily entails existence.

Existing in your mind is a physical existence, as your mind itself has a physical existence (namely, your brain).

Half of the people here don't even sound like shut-ins they sound like normals trying to sound cool.

I fucking hate my life. But yeah you all sound average to me.

>>471004
Implying it is cool to be a shut in.

>>470412
Where are you from? Were you already on it from the hearing impairment?

>>471048
Australia. And no. I got it as a result of all my cumulative problems.

>>471048

>>471083
Also:

I should have also mentioned that the main reason I got it is because of my hearing impairment. I have Profound hearing loss in my right ear, so basically I have one working ear, which itself has mild hearing loss.

So I basically hear in monaural and being in situations with noise or crowds it is estimated I hear like 30 - 40% of what is said. Even is situations where there is just traffic noise or a loud fan, I often mishear words.

What the fuck I read through this thread and there are like five actual shut-ins.
Why so many other people post? you aren't a fucking shut-in when you leave for college or work.

>Who do you live with?
My mom and Dad is divorced, but they live in the same town, so I just hang out wherever I want.

>How did you get to this stage?
I think I have some sort of personality disorder, but I'm not sure

>How often do you leave the house, and how long for?
I go to school everyday, sometimes I hang out with my siblings outside

>How do you pay for yourself?
financial investments

>Do you have friends?
I sometimes hang out with some guys from my school, but I don't think of them as friends

>What do you do with your spare time?
Mostly I'm on 4chan or watch porn

>What do your parents and/or friends think of your lifestyle?
My "friends" don't know anything, my mom doesn't care and my father has mostly the same lifestyle as me

>Do you have any goals for the future?
I want to kill evey fucking living lifeform on earth, then I will stand alone at the top as the last man, and I will finally have my silent peace.

A more realistic answer is a job inside the financial sector
