Is it possible to find fulfilment in life without relying on other people? I've been thinking that everything I've been doing has been in the goal of "acceptance" - of being accepted by other people, of being valued by other people, because I thought that if I was socially accepted, and felt like I wasn't apart from the group, I would stop feeling empty. Recent experiences have made me question this, and question my own resolve to try and become a normie. Is it possible to pursue my goals if I don't believe I'm ever going to feel accepted among other people? In other words, is it possible to be an involuntary outcast and still be happy and committed?
I'm trying to do the same thing. Hopefully other anons will give out advice on how to do this successfully
humans are social creatures by nature. of course you won't be able to find fulfillment unless you're a sociopath.

That's what r9k and the Internet in general are for
Yes its definitely possible. In every society there have always been hermits. It is only in modern society where this attitude is shunned.

nah even if you create something alone you'll secretly dream someone will notice it and see how wonderful you are

So the only alternative is suicide?

But don't hermits choose that lifestyle? Are there happy hermits who wanted to be accepted and just couldn't?
>tfw hate living like a hermit, but hate socializing just as bad
life is torture
