Who /above average looking but still socially retarded/ here?

>>37614434

At a wedding a few months ago, several older-but-still-youngish female relatives (~30s) complimented my looks, and I noticed this very attractive blonde girl looking at me periodically. At some point she came up and introduced herself to me. "Hey, such and such was telling me about you, you really do computer shit?" I'm not an expert at reading people, but everything I was taking from her expression, speaking tone, cadence, etc, was that of attraction. She was smiling and her manner of speech was that of heightened interest, with a hint of playful teasing underneath.

I told her the specifics of what I was studying, what electronic projects I was currently working on in my classes, and the nature of the coding I sometimes have to do. I knew there was a better way to answer that question, but didn't know what it was. The second I started explaining, I could tell the initial attraction was lost. I asked her what she did, she told me she worked as a secretary at a financial firm, and after some more mundane chat some friends of hers came by and she went off with them. I'm now aware that this was likely what is called a "shit test" of my social prowess and expertise that I failed.

Since that encounter I've had a few similar ones, where a girl looks interested in and receptive to me, even treating me like she would a normal person but after a bit of conversation realizes I'm very abnormal. My sister had a friend whom I hadn't seen in about 5 years, who saw me as an outcast and mocked with my sister. When I saw her recently we began talking and she genuinely acted as if I was an old friend who she was pleased to see. She started talking about her weekend and what plans she had, what shows she was going to see and so on. I had little to say back but the whole experience was fascinating, she didn't seem to lose interest until a long time had passed and she realized I had never gone to a concert or club in my life.

Until recently I've never tried to study normie psychology and what drives them; now they treat me like one of their own until I open my mouth long enough to reveal my true nature. Perhaps if I study them long enough in the field I can mimic their responses to a high enough degree where I am asked to join in social events. Less likely still, I may be able to secure a mate.

Any robots or cyborgs in my position?

>mimic the normies
Dudes that's literally all ya need to do 90% of the time.

Another good idea is to slowly phase out this over-intellectualizing thing you've got going on, at least knock it off for large social settings/save it for one-on-one interactions. Better yet is to make friends with funny people to improve your sense of humour. THEN you'll improve with the ladies, eventually.

i used to be a chad but i started internalizing redpill, altright, /pol/, and /r9k/. i became more nihilistic, depressed, stopped going out, stopped giving a shit, now i sit at home and browse r9k. i don't know really know what to do anymore

Well, I assume that in order to pass successfully then conversing should be second nature. The problem is, I don't understand what drives normies to discuss the topics they do at all. I need to have some framework to go off of, social relations seem foreign to me although I enjoy connecting with and understanding other people, as rare as it is.

>at least knock it off for large social settings/save it for one-on-one interactions
I've always preferred solo interactions as they are easy to study and the most rewarding, I have little success in group interactions. Group psychology and relations are especially outside of my preference and expertise.

>Better yet is to make friends with funny people to improve your sense of humour.
I'm trying to do this currently with some guys in my classes, I do feel like getting more experience with comedy helps conversational improvisation.

My face is decent and i can look somewhat attractive if i have a haircut and squint a little bit, but i'm too anxious and awkward to score. Plus i genuinely dislike people, so making a connection is even harder.

Forgot to say that girls look at me regularly, they even turn their heads when i walk past, back in high school many girls wanted to hold my hand and kiss me, but i always declined because of anxiety and fear of not knowing how to kiss.

Anxiety can really bury you permanently.

Notice how no one who posts these threads posts their pics

Just to have my pictures posted on Lookism like it happened last time? No thanks.

>Plus i genuinely dislike people
Never liked a person?

Yeah, that's probably what will happen to me if my experiment is successful.

Sorry but I'm not going to link my face to /r9k/ permanently.

Wouldn't say I'm too socially retarded, I'm not a complete sperg and if I get enough time I can typically get at least some people on my side in some way shape or form. My achilles heel seems to be I can't keep personal relationships if my life depended on it, because I'm just not too interested in them. Cleaned the rest of the acne off of my face and my mug isn't repulsive, I'm just not the intimate relationship type of guy. That or my ever so wonderful personality shines through and people either stay away or stick with me so I don't roast the life out of them. Now I'm mainly focused on 4 things: my career, my cat, expanding my wealth, and counter strike. Occasionally I'll go out with some acquaintances, but that's only if it's at a restaurant or something.

I know this feel. I'm actually pretty good looking but I'm a schizo and in HS most people were scared of me or I isolated myself by thinking they were. Some girl asked me to help her excise a ghost from her house once cuz I "seemed like someone who would know how". Was not the best feeling in the world once I realized what that meant in regards to my public image although it felt kinda cool at first.

Was she being serious? Yeah, that would get to me too.

I live in a ghetto where 99% of the males are dudebros and 99% of the girls are ghetto girls, so it's hard to connect with this kind of people.

its not that I'm socially retarded, is just that I'm not a social animal.
I hate all the normie shit. I can fake it pretty well, and I think I can kinda grow to enjoy it.

but anyways, the awkward, introverted and handsome combo gets the qts to notice you, then 'tism kicks in and shit goes down fast.
