Shyness most likely or social anxiety. I'm a bit shy when it comes to meeting new people. However nothing alcohol can't fix. Give me some beers and we'll talk like the best buddies.

Aye, beer.

 

Sharing beer connect all social status, world without stranger.

 

Beer best serve during new years as We drink for our youth as the day come and gone.

This should have nothing to do with being introverted vs. extroverted and frankly, I find the assumption that introverts (like myself) have a harder time making or sustaining friendships extremely offensive.

 

"Friends" are something that you as a human being get to choose. You get to pick how many of them you have, how you interact with them, and you get to decide what "friendship" means exactly to you.

 

Some people find it harder to make friends simply from lack of experience with the personality they're interacting with. Sometimes they purposely avoid looking for friends. Sometimes, as with one of my friends, you just have bad luck when meeting new people and your personalities don't click at all. And some people have fewer friends just because they like it that way.

Ehhh, I don't about the "choosing." I don't know how to explain it, but true friendship, for me, was almost always happenchance. Right place and right time, and all that jazz.

 

But here's something for consumption: my best friends are considered as family for holiday feasts. My folks get worried when my friends don't show up for Hogmanay.

I avoid my own family, haven't spoken to my best friend in 10 years, and find dry cat food tasty. So I guess I'm batshit crazy.

 

I know the feeling.

 

I had one best friend whom. I would of taken a bullet for. I gave him shelter when he had to get away from his parents. He got all stupid as years went by and fell into drugs and started being a stupid center of attention emo /scene kid idiot. Last time I spoke to him was when he called me begging me for money to help his craving. After that moment. It got silent for about a minute. All it took was that silent moment for him to realize it was the last time he would ever hear from me again. He knew. Yet he chose the path.

 

I've learned in life you move on. No matter how difficult it may be. You have to cut people off from your life that are negative towards you.

 

As for family. Fuck my family. Both sides are just false, pretencious hypocrits.

 

My cat Miles was family. Listening to music and writing music is my company.

 

The world is full of fake people. And the good people in this world keep to themselves and stay away from that world they live in. I did for a long time. Year after year.

 

It's rare to find someone who you can truly call a friend. I think the only true friend would be my partner. The person who I wake up every morning to cook a nice breakfast meal and kiss goodnight. It's not sacrifice it's unconditional love.

That's a reality.

We don't affiliated ourself with weakness and poverty of others.

 

This world, full of jobless scumbags, arrogant lazy bums and underclass illiterates.

 

Let them taste dinner of tears and loneliness. Be smart, be productive, save yourself don't stuck with other people reality.

I personaly just find myself to be a bit of a loner, I have a few fairly close friends that, to be honest, I don't talk to that often, I mostly just keep myself to myself, and I am perfectly happy to do so.

People who choseth to live in fantasy have the cruelest reality.

 

Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality - It's a way of understanding it.

 

It's one path to her liberty and Boy,.. You all stuck in it.

Hmmm...For that, you ask emily's haters and friends in loverslab.

I sometimes envy people with the ability to have smalltalk. I cannot do that. Not because I judge it profane, but because that kind of "socializing" behaviour is just not there on my list of possible behaviours. Having real smalltalk would be harder and more exhausting for me than playing Shakespeare.

You got to be friends with yourself before you can make friends with others, failing that poking strangers with sticks to avoid uncomfortable conversations work just as well. ;)

I'm with you.  Small talk is very hard with me.  Heck, a lot of social tendencies seem to slip my mind lol.  I have friends, but throw me in a situation where there is a party going on or a large group of people I don't know and I'll usually clam up because I don't know to jump in and get invovled to be honest, embaressing as that is lol

How do you guys leave those snazzy one liners in your profile? UGH! i'm too lazy to find this out on my own. As for Emily's point on us all living in a fantasy i guess i have to agree, i don't think reality is a cruel thing so much as i feel people as individuals can imagine a better way of doing things as suppose to what we can accomplish as a whole.

If your talking about the green text when on the top right when you hover over a user's name, that's the latest post in their profile feed. To get one for yourself, just click on "profile feed" in your user profile, and leave a message there. That should work. :)

Too bad self-hate is just so easy sometimes.

 

Especially when you had it practically beaten into you almost everyday for years.

 

As for social things, I suck at them. During school I was the kid everyone picked on, so I didn't start having real social interaction with people my own age until I hit 20. By that point the damage had already been done, and I'm so insecure and socially blind that a woman could hit on me for hours and it'd be easier to assume she's trying to get me mugged more than anything else... assuming I noticed what was going on.
