I could have been preparing dinner, making a pasta salad, even bought all the ingredients.

I don't feel like it.

Something like that? Also, people consider it "strange" because it's not the norm. Anything that's outside of the common norm is 'strange' or 'different' if you want to put it nicely. I doubt many people think less of you if you explain it in the way you do.

All in all: Enjoy living your life the way you want to. Using your words:
If anything I've learned -not to judge other people's habits or way of life-.
I'm someone who enjoys going out with friends or having dinner at a restaurant with my girlfriend. I'm someone who enjoys the social company because I feel I'd get lonely if I didn't put effort into my own social relationships. That makes me 'different' from you, but I don't see how that makes me more or less of a person than you are.

Have a nice day.

uh maybe theyre calling you antisocial not as an insult but as a description of your behavior

>>9763723
It's not fucking antisocial, it's asocial. God damn you illiterate retards.

>>9763916
no im pretty sure hes single handedly causing the downfall of civilization as we know

it

>>9763916
First of all you replied to my post which does not contain the word antisocial but meh.

Secondly, while I agree asocial would be more proper:

Antisocial, adjective:
1. contrary to the laws and customs of society; devoid of or antagonistic to sociable instincts or practices
2. not sociable; not wanting the company of others.

Oxford American Dictionary. Please do your research before calling people illiterate.

Actually, ignore my first point. You didn't. I misread and fear that this silly mistake may make the rest of my post look rubbish. However: please do realize antisocial is an acceptable word at least in the American English language.

OP is posing more questions that answering:

Is there something wrong with everyone in the world and OP is carefully guarding that secret?

If it's difficult for OP to meet and talk to people, what about the people that know OP and talk to him? Are they diseased? What is the status of their friendship?

Does OP have problem with receiving criticism?

If OP has master skills at figuring the slutty girl and the shallow guys, why can't OP "help" those people instead of avoiding them? If OP "helps" them two parties will be happier. Since OP claims master inter-personal skills what is the benefit from two parties leading sub-par lives?

Failure to answer one or all questions will just lead outsiders to assume detrimental things in OP's favor.

Hey OP you're not alone, I'm refusing to go on parties and shit too. On Monday there'll be this huge thing in my town but I won't go.

That's mainly because I'm afraid of people though

I could have gone to my years last exam, and they all went for food after, but I didn't take the lessons/exam, so why should I. I chilled out.

Now, on facebook, there's all these soppy messages about how 'oh you've made my year worth while' (not to me, thank god).

What the fuck.

Anti-social, yeah fuck that word. I'm unsocial, not the same thing. I feel exactly the same as you. Spending time with people in so called social settings just does nothing for me.I am happier alone most of the time. Other's need to be with people all the time seems like a weakness to me but I don't judge, I just know I am different.

Op, you're not alone bro.
I don't care about social things at all, where as everyone makes a big deal about it.
I'm quite happy at home, reading a book.
I don't see the point of parties.

All this aside, i'm very well liked (apparently).
I'm also >>9767287

I like hanging out and meeting people but just don't like clubbing

In my area that means you're antisocial and weird even if you like socializing in every other way

It's fine to be a non-social person. Yes, it isn't normal, and people find atypical things strange and even threatening.

Do what you want but don't be a cock when people treat you strange.

The reason why people consider it strange to not be social is because most people have a very real need to be with others. Without regular contact most people will start feeling quite down. This is so common that almost all of these people have never even considered that there may exist other people whose need for social contact is so weak that they can be comfortable without seeking to socialize. They will either think that you are unhappy and avoiding people for other reasons or that you are somehow crazy.

i dont like to workout and eat healthy, but i do because its good for me.
hell, i dont like reading books on end, but i do it because learning is good for me.
"because i dont like it" is a poor excuse for anything

>Choose a technical career that pays 5 figures a year, and 6 figures if you have minimal socialization skills
>Get into a relationship with someone who is also pursuing a 6 figure per year graduate degree
>Live the rest of my life as a rich asshole

Fuck year, being a normalfag feels AWESOME!

Meanwhile back in the real world you're another 4channer posting shit he wished was true

Could have had some fat chav girl in my room stinking up the place by using my cooker to fry some indian food. Yuck.

why is that dude's thumb so long

looks like a fucking mutant

>Why do people consider it 'strange' or 'anti-social' that i don't go out much and generally don't try to meet people. It's not that i'm afraid or insecure, i just genuinely dislike people or don't have much in common with many. I prefer solidarity and can be very anti-social, but this doesn't make me less of a person. Doesn't make you any better, as i suppose a lot of people are going to try and comment on.

>If anything i've learned to be more self reliant and that seems better to me.

>Robots, tell me what you could be doing right now, or could have, but turned down simply because you didn't want too.
>This weekend i could have gone too a party, most likely filled with slutty girls and shallow young guys - but i'd honestly rather not.

OP -- if you're really secure in yourself, what the fuck do you care if a bunch of putzes think you're abnormal because you're not a social butterfly? I am somewhat like you, I don't go out heaps, and even if I do I keep to myself -- I go out to bars to get drunk, not to meet people. I have a few places I go where the bartenders know me and I'm perfectly content just talking to them, mainly because they're sober and I'm not, talking to drunk people can be a like running a fucking gamut of pain sometimes (read: always). I don't have "social" hobbies, and I don't plan on getting one so I can just meet people. Yet I will go to house parties if some of my friends are going, even if one of em is, I always have a good time and will socialize a little bit. When I had a job I was fairly social with my co-workers, I would talk to them, joke, etc. I don't avoid people by any means, I just don't actively pursue them. Seeing as though I'm unemployed ATM I can't go out very often, so I normally just stay in. If I do go out, I just take a walk or write, no need to talk to people. If someone starts a conversation with me, I in no way am rude to them, I will be more than happy to converse.

Welcome to the club bro

You are what we refer to as a loner, defined as someone who doesn't need or want the social interaction regular people like or even need. We're not alone because we don't have any friends but rather because we choose not to have company.

Try reading Party of One: A loner manifesto, you might see yourself in what's written.
