Whenever I go out to eat with family or friends unless they're

That's basically a riff off 'Everyone is dumb but me'.

>>16543371
But I love other people and I genuinely have respect for them. Maybe not their intelligence sometimes, but isn't it just that I have nothing in common with these people? People just talk about shit that's on the news and sports. Or what's big in pop icons.

I have done what you just described. I am an extroverted introvert, it's a terrible mix honestly.

How does that work?

This pretty much covers it.

I get energy from being alone, and often want to be alone. Love being alone, people drain me but I still want to be social with the right type of humans. And when I do everyone think I am super extroverted because in the right setting I really am.

it sounds like you take yourself too seriously. you likely talk about stupid shit all the time, maybe just with people you are close to. or perhaps you consider the stuff you like to be serious. i imagine theres some not so popular thing you like that you could talk about for days with someone.

to other people, you might sound like the guy who only says empty and boring shit.

>>16543371

pretty much this.

>maybe not their intelligence

intelligence says little about what you have in common with people.

>news

news is current events, discussing what is happening in the world around you and sharing perspective is perhaps the most intellectual thing one can do. granted there is shit tier news what with the 24 hour news cycle, but it sounds to me you have a superiority complex.

sure you love people... like a little sibling. too dumb to be of real use to you.

this just in, you're no that smart.

Only some of this sounds like me. Though I hate the way that article is written. I hate the feeling of "YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE HOW SPECIAL OF A SNOWFLAKE BUTTERFLY I AM" it gives off.

Maybe you're right. But maybe you're wrong. People usually love talking to me from what I can tell. Even normal people. It's just exhausting. I can't really think of anything that I could talk to someone about for days. Maybe sociology or polotics, but that's because there is so much resource materal.

I don't have any siblings and I'm not some fedora level edge lord like you seem to be >implying

Why would I care if someone is of use to me?

On your point of talking about news, people only talk about MUH terrorism and MUH Kardashians or MUH sports. More what you were saying about 24/7 news.

>people usually love talking to me from what i can tell

thats fine and all, but maybe hwen they go to the bathroom, they're just standing there.

>what would i care if someone is of use to me

the way you say talk about other people's conversations and intelligence implies that if they arent up to some intelligent standard than they are too beneath you to engage in conversation with, therefore are of no use to you (conversationally)

sounds to me like you're just too bland.

>>16543358
I do shit like this all the time OP.

>eating dinner with the wife's family.
>Everyone chatting and having fun time.
>as soon as it is social acceptable I grab my plate and anything eld that needs cleaning and go to the kitchen
>start doing the dishes and stuff just to get the fuck away from them.

I don't hate them nor do I find them anoying , I just want to be alone most of the time .

>>16543592
Nah I don't think people do that. Also I'm not nearly as jaded as you seem to think I am. You sure you're not projecting?
