I did this a while back until I eventually realized that socialization is all about putting on a mask of someone other people want to be around
It's all good until it gets to be soul-crushing, which eventually led me to lose all friends and be lonely, by choice. I'd rather be alone but me than be with people but not myself.

>going back to university monday
I already made myself lose a fuckload of weight, so much in fact that none of my clothes fit me anymore and I haven't got around to getting new ones yet, shit sucks. Hopefully I look better now (still can't do anything about my disgusting face, tho).
I'm gonna try putting on a different persona from now on, too. Not act like a different person entirely, but rather like a cooler version of myself. I'm even trying to change the way I speak (talking slower and more with more calm as to stop eating words when I get nervous, that kinda shit) and my posture. I doubt any of this will actually work, but might as well try, right?

You need to be yourself, retard.
I'm going to the gym everyday practically, I lift weights 3 times per week and I am in the process of quitting my weed habit. I cut down to only smoking before bed at night and sometimes I don't even feel the craving to do it then.

"myself" is a person who prefers to be alone. It was when I realized this that I stopped pretending to want to be around others out of mere desire to be social due to how I was raised, and basically what society promotes.
When I realized I actually didn't care about that I am free now.
