I don't like being around anyone. I live with my parents since I'm still in high school, so it's alright being in the same house as them since they're my parents and we don't talk much anyways...but besides my direct family and my aunt, I hate being around anyone else. I guess I've been thinking a lot during the summer and I've analyzed my personality and realized that I just don't have anything in common with anyone else. I've been putting on a fake personality with my "friends" all the time. This is going to be a problem once school starts, and eventually I'll have to enter society and get a job...and I don't want to be fake and pretend to fit in anymore. I really just want to be alone. I like not having to answer to anyone, having all of my free time to myself to do whatever I want...and it might seem boring and lonely from an outsider's perspective, but it's really not to me. I don't desire for friends or even love anymore.

I just feel like everyone's a clone with no personality or thoughts of their own...people bore me and I can't stand the way they think.

I'm wondering what I can do since interacting with people is inevitable...there's a pretty small chance I'll be able to get a work-at-home job with decent pay...so yeah

Go to college, meet some real people. Growing up helps, as well.

[I Cook With A Flashlight]

I am in the same boat as you... I have to fake things too, unless someone actually has the same interest as me comes about. @_@

I guess you got to force yourself out and meet new people.

I agree, a lot of humans out there simply regurgitate the stuff they hear from their superiors without giving much thought about it.

Like theists or bandwagon hoppers.

A "It's a man's job"
B "Yes I agree it's a man's job"
A "So why is it a man's job?"
B "Because it just is"

[House_Rulez]

Hey I hear you.

I spend more time at home than outside.

And I get severely anxious when I approach others or when others approach me, I don't have eye contact at all, and I'm not too good at adapting or adjusting to the situation or atmosphere.

Yeah I know i'm pretty useless atm, because we're people who live under a social society, we nee dto interact to get things around and what not heck i don't know half of it.

but hey hang in there.
You should have a circle of friends you can be your true self to... i know this hard but it's something your going to need to work for if you ever want to make it happen/
You almost sound like my older sister right now lmao ^^;;

Hang int there...

[vitalrain]

@moot11: People from college come from high school though...I doubt college will be that different :\

@I Cook: I don't want to be fake to meet new people o.O

@Mannosuke: People always follow the crowd . They're scared of being criticized by anyone. I'm not trying to sound superior or that I'm so special and better than anyone..

@House: I don't feel anxious around strangers, nor am I scared to make eye contact. In fact, I usually stare at everyone who I walk by just cuz it's interesting to see new faces for a few seconds. It's not that I'm afraid of what people think of me...people can dislike me or think I'm weird if they want to. I still enjoy "normal" things like exercising, shopping, etc...but most people's idea of fun, which includes getting wasted at clubs or parties, doesn't interest me. I just don't get how it's fun and I can't relate to them.

[Mannosuke]

@Mannosuke: People always follow the crowd . They're scared of being criticized by anyone. I'm not trying to sound superior or that I'm so special and better than anyone..

That is true, but not because I'm following the crowd and simply agreeing for the sake agreeing lol.

However, it's not necessarily the case that they're "scared" or feel any sort of "pressure" by their peers. Of course, that is a big factor; humans are social creatures, can anyone imagine being alone and shunned upon? (no, sitting in your room browsing online forums is still maintaining some line of communications with other humans, that is not being alone)

Indeed, there's some misconception from "the crowd" (which we define as the subset of people that simply follow the others) that anyone that deviates from the crowd believe they are "superior" as you put it. Or at least "trying to be unique" for some definition of unique.

Unique is subjective, and for some odd reason, people attribute "unique" things with "superior" or "special", which is wrong and logically incorrect. The number zero is unique, and it can be considered special (you having ZERO dollars is probably a lot more interesting than any other number), or maybe in terms of grades, the only numbers that really stand out are ZERO and HUNDRED, but most of the time when you get ZERO you get a lot more attention. So does this mean ZERO is superior to HUNDRED? Maybe...but that's completely based on people's views.

I don't think someone getting a ZERO on their finals is any different from someone getting a HUNDRED, except one is getting the credit and the other doesn't! ZERO credit? Damn straight.

Essentially, logic does not mix with society, that's for the "white lab coats"

You just took the thoughts that pass through my head everyday, and put them into words. Kudos.

I'm not sure if you are but if you're still in HS that would contribute to your problem

I remember people in highschool being desperate to fit in-most of them fake, especially if you get to more popular circles



once you get out of HS though, don't worry, you meet plenty of real people and the people that WERE fake in high school grow out of it too

[xMYOOx]

uh.. hop off your pedestal. to be honest, i can't stand that sort of attitude. the 'nobody gets me'.. 'i wish people would leave me alone'.. 'i'm special' attitude.
you're probably still in your angsty high school stage. it'll pass.
just stop overthinking it. EVERYONE NEEDS some sort of human interaction whether they deny it or not.
it's just a part of life and human sustainability.
one day, you will find your niche group of people who you enjoy and want to be around. trust me. i'm pretty sure everyone goes through a similar stage.
and no, i'm not trying to encourage you, because i don't think you deserve it with that sort of attitude
just be reassured that you will someday realize you enjoy the company of other people.
and everyone's 'fake' to a certain extent. it's just necessary sometimes. -.-;
just because "most people's idea of fun" isn't your idea of fun doesn't mean you need to go off and be some sort of recluse. -_____-

[Mannosuke]

^Here's a perfect example that follows my post. Nowhere did he say any of that, you only assumed he did because you assumed he had that kind of attitude.

It's like going on kidshelpphone.ca for the canadians out there and reading counselor's "professional" advice. Half of it is just a big wall of text to me that doesn't really help anyone.

[xMYOOx]

you only assumed he did because you assumed he had that kind of attitude.

um... that doesn't really say anything..? stop talking in circles.
how the fcuk do you "assume" someone has that sort of attitude?
you don't need someone to sit there & be like "hey look i'm being a pinkberry" to assume that they're copping a pinkberry attitude.
you gather it by what they say
so uh.. what on earth are you trying to tell me exactly?

That you are the type of person that he hates and are only contributing to his image of what humans are.
How do you "assume" someone has that sort of attitude? By taking one or two sentences and associating him with some general stereotypical label. EDIT: that is called stereotyping.

uh.. hop off your pedestal. to be honest, i can't stand that sort of attitude. the 'nobody gets me'.. 'i wish people would leave me alone'.. 'i'm special' attitude.

Do I have to explain what is meant by the act of "assuming" something? You're essentially supposing something that may or may not true and basing all of your arguments on it..

Nowhere in his post did he even suggest that he believes he's "special" or have an "I'm special" attitude.

[vitalrain]

@Mannosuke: People, especially younger people, do get scared and feel pressure from their peers though. It's easy to be casted out and bullied by "the crowd." I guess that's part of the reason why people are scared to speak their mind if what's on their mind is different from what's socially accepted in their environment...and I do agree that being completely alone would be scary. Didn't they do an experiment somewhere where people were put in solitary confinement and they all suicided or something..? Someone getting a 0 on a test would be interesting...but they probably either just didn't write anything, or wrote all the wrong answers on purpose...or maybe they truly do have some problems..but either way it'd be interesting, lol. And thanks for helping me explain to that girl...

@Regina: Good to know I'm not entirely weird and hallucinating..

@Ningyo: I've heard lots of people saying college is way different and better...but I've also heard lots of stories of people who might be academically smart, but still just party all day and are idiots...*sigh*. I guess everyone's experience is different. Thanks for the comforting words though ^^

@xMYOOx: I'm not on any sort of "pedestal." I don't think I'm so smart and awesome, because nothing's for certain in this world and everything you know might be wrong. So the way I think might be wrong and maybe one day I'll realize something that completely sets off everything I thought was true before. This is just the way I think right now though. I don't want to shun people away because I think they're not good enough, I just don't like the loudness...and if I don't even have fun, then why shouldn't I spend time alone doing things I'll enjoy more? I'm not angsty o.O. And I do get human interaction since I live with my parents and once school starts, it'll be in classes. I just don't like going to social events or seeing my friends outside of school too much...I think it'd be a much better world if people WEREN'T fake and didn't lie about things. Facing the truth is much better than living comfortably in denial. Actually, I do have an ego, but it's not the kind you're imagining of. I'm not sure how you've managed to create a profile for myself from a few posts, and especially since this is the internet.

Oh and I'm a girl..

[chocopocky]

You can choose to be alone and do your own thing. That's your choice. If you don't want to feel like you have fit in or be "fake," just don't do it. No one's forcing you to be anything. There are times that I feel the exact same way. I think what you need to do is chill out, take some time for yourself, and get away from people for a little bit. When you're ready or you miss it, you can choose to come back.

But you are never alone. You shouldn't exclude everything from yourself just because of a couple things or a couple of people. It's normal to want something else. It's normal to feel bored.

You say you don't desire friends or even love.. I think it's way too soon for you to say that. When you get older, I'm sure you will meet new/more people in the future and you will definitely appreciate all that's gained or lost. Get rid of that apathetic attitude and cheer up!

You just gotta push yourself. don't give up so easily, dude!

Oh by the way, there's all sorts of people out there. Sure, they can fake but who isn't at times? Chances are, you will also meet people who will be just as genuine and you won't have to feel the need to be impressive. Keep being you and keep your head up. I mean, anything goes. It could be worse, you know? You'll be alright!

[monsieur PRiNCE]

people in general are fake, but it's not a big deal right? i mean as long as they're good people.

you probably just haven't met someone that suits you. (?)
maybe it's where you live or something.

maybe for college, go somewhere far(:
or take an adventure, or make an effort even if you don't want to, to meet a lot of new people.

i meann, you never know who you're going to meet.
and you DON'T have to be fake to fit in, and it's not really necessary to "fit in".
just be yourself and see how it goes? unless you are being yourself... well. idk. D:

o_O' how does that NOT have attitude?
_ "I disagree with fun, love, people and practically the how the whole world works
so therefore i will not have anything to do with fun, love or the world"? Is that what you're saying?

too john teshing bad. life's unfair. 'ethics', 'morality', 'justice'.. they are just a pretty words. concepts people created so that they could live with themselves. That's life. YOU created by this miserable belief that denies life, because the only way you could live as a reject of the world, is by rejecting the world.

I just reckon you're scared and incapable, so you're excusing yourself from things you suck at by saying "i don't like it/it's not me".

i've been there. all i needed was the occasional kick in the head
cos there's no john teshing way i really could have believed that mini cooper till i die.

_everyone is a hypocrite. you'd be foolish not to be.

but eh. i'll take this all back if you're not the person i make you out to be.

[vitalrain]

I like having fun, who doesn't like having fun? I'm just saying the way I have fun is different from what the majority of people think is fun, therefore it's hard to find people who I could have fun with. I love my family, my aunt, and I can't say I love any of my friends, but I'm pretty nice to them. I disagree with how the world works in lots of ways though. Are you saying ethics, morality, and justice shouldn't be part of a society? Since we're humans and we're far smarter than other animals, didn't we "create" those things to become more than just animals? If we didn't have those things, then we might as well kill and eat each other. Those are the things that keep our society intact..

What am I scared and incapable of? I could fake the mini cooper out of myself and get along with lots of people and maybe even be "popular" but that's not what I really want. I know what people think is "cool," but why would I change myself and make myself miserable for the sake of others? I'm not that much of a caring person.

I'm probably a hyprocrite sometimes, but I try to fix it if I catch myself being one.

[Mannosuke]

You really should say "people around me (which isn't a lot)" cause humans are very dichotomous creatures.

I'd criticize your posts the way everyone else is, but what I'm hearing is different.

[Pol2ns7al2]

...but there's stuff you can't do when you're alone ;D
