Lived happily in California up to 5th grade. 6th grade, parents divorced, my mom lost her job, and we had to move to a shitty town in new jersey filled with niggers. They kicked my ass at least once a week, constantly taunted and made fun of me, threw shit at me, etc...Was impossible for me to focus on school, sports or anything for that matter. Went through that until 11th grade and have been an asocial loser ever since then.

always been a shy kid, but i had friends and whatnot throughout elementary school and middle school. i didn't go to high school though and lost all contact with peers. i never learned to socialize. it's easier to just immerse myself in my studies at this point

Moved around a lot as a kid due to parents working, moving etc. Finally my family settled into one neighborhood and I got to make some friends at a very small grade-school I attended there, however upon graduating (after 2 years there) I ended up earning a scholarship to a private high school that none of my grade-school friends made it into, so I was back to square one--no friends in high school, minus the two I made there and then one of them moved away.

I think it's important to make friends early on and keep them. Then even when you make more friends later, you kind of still have those important interpersonal skills. That's not what happened with me and, well, I don't have many friends but I am married and have sisters.

I don't know if this is a pattern/related but I also play video games. lol

Got sent to a gifted school when I was 8. I wasn't allowed to socialize with any of the normal kids, just the ones in my class. We never got any new kids... it was the same ones for 10 years until graduation. I'm friends with them, but now that I'm in university, I have nothing. Other girls think I'm weird, no matter what. I have my studies, though. I still like being here, even if I'm missing the whole social life thing.

I got so sick that I had to drop out of school. I lost all contact with society. After 4 years in bed, I came out and lost all my socializing skills. However, I did the energy to read and study a lot so I am a lot more developed intellectually that I would have been.

Now I'm in college.

In high school I had like 5 friends. I went to college and nobody would talk to me, so I quit trying to make any new friends or even talk to people. Now I spend all my free time here.

I feel like I'm surrounded by a wall.

I actually brush up against people on purpose during my commute, just so I can feel human touch again.

26. Virgin. Plain. Pharmacist(The most boring of the medical professions).

Everyday I push myself to get out of my single bed in my tiny apartment, and get to work.
You're all I got /r9k/. You're all I got left.

Let's just say i have the biggest head on /r9k/.

My god, your head is the planet Earth.

...What are you standing on?

Spoiled as a kid due to suicide of Brother. Believed to be smarter than really am, resulting in a arrogant, lazy approach to everything. Weird sense of humour and a god awful drunk. Never had more than a couple of good friends at any one time. Immature, selfish, coward who runs away from crisis or challenges. Blows it when all eyes are on me. Childhood friends all want nothing to do with me anymore. 19, going to take yet another fucking A-level next year, and have no real long term plans for my future. If it weren't for my parents I'd be completely and utterly fucked. I will probably give up and drop out very soon regardless because I'm an idiot.

I was always pretty introverted, but I had a few good friends. Sometime around 11th grade in high school though, all the friends I did have kind of went their separate ways and fell in with other people.
I fell in with nobody. And between the shyness, and a general inability to connect with my peers, I have stayed that way.
Well, at least next year I am going to college. I wouldn't say I am at the level of total loser quite yet.
But I am sure as hell getting there.

I got raped as a kid and never go outside of my house.
I make my money webdevelopment and order food online. Last time I went out was June 2nd 2008.

I spent all my free time as a kid on the computer. I never tried to make friends. I live alone, and have never even held hands with a girl. The most human interaction I have is talking with the cashiers at costco. 4 failed suicide attempts. Finally got over depression, but now I have no idea how to relate to people. I always figured "Oh, no need to make friends, I'll be dead soon anyways." "No need to work on school, I'll be dead soon anyways." "No need to plan for my future, I'll be dead soon anyways". I finally found happiness, through solitude. And that's all that matters to me.

Somewhere in Asia, there is a torso, arms, and legs protruding upward from the ground.

I'm not really sure where to begin, I could start with me saying that I've always been a loner for half of my life off and on. Starting in elementary till 5th grade, then half of middle school, and so forth...I really had a bad habit of having temporary friends that were highly unreliable.

But I didn't really start going down the 'hikiomori' way until after I graduated from high school, again losing the 'friends' I did have, leaving me with no one to actually talk to...so basically it lead me to become very depressed and thus becoming a recluse, had a few mental break downs along the way.

/sob story

From the looks of these posts, seems like most of us became that way because we moved around a lot and didn't really have enough time to connect to people.
The same goes for me, at around the middle of grade 11, I moved away from where I had lived for about 7 years. That ruined that high school experience for me since I never really socialized/built up close friendships before high school ended (I wasn't a recluse, I just didn't go out of my way to talk to people). Had my high school grad, everyone seemed so happy and was enjoying it. My friends (back from where I had moved) liked their grad too. I felt like I belonged with them. The grad meant nothing to me, I don't know why I wanted it to be important. After that, I pretty much developed a solitary preference. I like my own company more than others, but not to say that I actively reject others.
