How is one to go about enjoying isolation without harboring disdain for others? Currently, I'm at the stage where I enjoy being alone, or with close friends, but can't stand others. Most people don't offer anything of any kind of value. I don't want to be a misanthrope, but it's really hard when 90-something% of people you see are shallow normies. Is there a way to look past people's flaws without being naive, or do you do something else, /adv/?

So, literally solitary confinement? I've actually thought about it - only snag being I'd have to commit a crime... right?

No not literally. But if that guy can get over it, you can too. Being alone is a blessing in disguise anon. You learn who you are when you are alone. That guy discovered he likes to write shitty stories. I discovered, when I was going through what you were going through, that I love boxing and within the next 6 months I'm going to get my pro license.

The issue isn't being alone, though, m8. The issue is enjoying being alone without becoming a misanthrope.

feeling like people dont "offer" you anything just means youre looking for someone you can use or who can solve your problems. you need to redefine wht a friend is, and see if youre the boring person here too.
