Why are normies so obsessed with birthdays?

You might want to consider whether or not you are a psychopath. Not a joke or insult. You sound like a legitimate psychopath.

>>38390889
I know how you feel anon my birthday is just like a other day for me accept people want to do things with me for no reason

>no one congratulated me on my birthday
g-good they're stupid anyway i-it's not like I care

maybe you don't give a fuck about birthdays, but your family do. I would've went for them. Atleast you've someone, i was alone, buu-huu right?

hypothetically speaking. wouldn't you celebrate birthday for your son?

Every year for my birthday i just take a bunch of drugs by myself or go to the bar and get shitfaced by myself. It's just another reason to get fucked up.

>>38391265
Not op but I would if he wanted to but if he dint I wouldn't bother him

i FUCKING HATE my birthday the day I was throwed into this disgusting pile of shit world

>>38391265
Would never have a son.

>>38391135
In what way do I sound like a psychopath? Genuinely curious.

>>38391227
That's my point. Why do they care so much?

You are a fucking ass hole you selfish autistic cunt. Your family still wants you to be happy and spend time with you even if you are a disgrace to them and your ancestors, if I saw you in the street I would beat the shit out of you you autistic fat nerd.

>>38391265
He won't have a son

>>38391469
Lmao if my family wanted me to be happy they would leave me alone

Why r u so upset bruh?

>>38391429
One of the hallmarks of psychopathy is blunted affect and empathy; you don't feel emotions as keenly as non-psychopaths and are unable to emulate the emotional states of others in your own mind. Your treatment of both your father and grandmother as well as your confusion as to the cause of their reactions are archetypical of psychopathic behaviour.

This test isn't diagnostic in itself, but it is indicative, and I'm curious as to how you do:
http://vistriai.com/psychopathtest/

>>38391450
They care about the birthday since they care about you, as family do. Normies find birthday a big thing, therefore they really want you celebrate and be normal. But the point is, they care. ffs.

Care for them, just go too that stupid part next year and get it over.

>>38391501
I am upset because you are an ungrateful piece of shit and a tumor to society. >>38391506

>>38391429
You're not a psychopath, you're just an autistic manchild who isn't appreciative of what he has. The chance of you being an autist is infinitely higher than the chance of you being a psycho

>>38391506
I got a 24. It says that 30 and above is a psychopath so I guess that's that.

>>38391509
So why can't they just realize that I don't care, and I don't care about them?

>>38390889
Come on faggot, your mom made you steak, cake and generally cared about your birthday and you just say you don't give a fuck?
At least act like you care and go there (should have), fucking fool.

>>38391603
I am more than content to eat microwave pizza in my room. Not to mention my mom was very abusive to me and my sister when we were growing up and I have made it clear that I don't want to see her again.

>>38391575
Like I said, it's not diagnostic, merely indicative. 24 is a very a high score nonetheless. In the UK 25 is considered sufficient to warrant monitoring and review by a professional psychologist.

>>38391135
Not a psycho, just autstic

>>38391664
Clearly, you are a thoughtful, educated adult.

>>38391565
Yeah ok. I'm an Ivy league student studying chemical engineering so I don't need to hear about societal tumors from you.

>>38391673
True, but the UK is also a hyper-cucked nanny thought-police state.

>>38391565
Actually I am diagnosed with aspergers so you're absolutely correct

>>38391696
Doesn't matter that you're Ivy League, on a social level you are a retarded man baby, most likely terrified of interaction

>>38391673
In the UK criticism of Islam is also enough to warrant jail time.

So many normalfags.
Look, OP. I feel somewhat the same about birthdays, but here is what went wrong:
>not enough communication (as expected from people with no soul)
>superficial relationships
>you're still part of the family, and participation is expected
The result is they think you don't give a shit about them and that's most likely true. The good news is no souls means no matter.

>>38391594
I guess they will understand now, or sooner or later. If you don't care, don't care. simple as that, they will have to adjust. However, idk how old you are, but past years i've really started to understand whats important to me. I always thought what was important for me, was sitting infront of the computer, which isn't the matter anymore. Maybe you will understand this too someday, maybe you wont. Live the life you want, its yours after all, right?

>>38391733
Not entirely true. I avoid parties like the plague but I'm very active in a number of student organizations on campus.

>>38391696
Wow, what's like it to know that world will be a better place when you die?

And fuck it, I'm an astronaut-firefighter-pornstar. Isn't the Internet a fun place?

>>38391733
Only normies care about shit like social status.

>>38391758
I don't know man. The same thing happened two years ago with my high school graduation

>dad begs me to go to graduation

>say no

>apparently he had booked seven or so seats at the ceremony for different relatives

>aunt flew in from nebraska (we live in Oregon) and basically flew home right away since she came just to see me at my graduation

>>38391664
This is basically how I've felt my whole life.

>>38391748
You're fucking retarded if you actually believe that is true.

>>38391845
There are literally dozens of cases of people criticizing Islam and being sent to jail. Read the papers.

See shit like this.
Why dont the normies fucking ask for this shit before randomly flinging it onto people they probably know don't want it?
Why waste all that fucking time and money when you ultimately know your son is going to say no?
God fucking normies are so retarded.
And good on you for skipping graduation. As if any robot would want to spend any extra time around all those fucking chads and cunts.

>>38391876
The funny thing is I told my dad several months beforehand that I wasn't going, asked him to tell my aunt so she could get a refund for her flight (the last nice thing I ever did for my family). He thought I was joking and insisted I would go until the day came and he realized that he had no way of forcing me to go.

>>38391906
Normie parents are the most deluded of them all.
They just can't stop and think for 2 seconds that their son isn't some hyper-normie kid and refuse to think logically.

>>38391509
desu there won't be a next year. I'm only home from uni for medical issues this year and next summer I'll hopefully have a job, so I doubt I'll ever come back home.

>>38391817
make it easy for yourself and just tell them to leave you alone then, its simple, as the same time it isn't, right?

yet, i know what you mean, fucking annoying having parents nagging on you and not leaving you alone when you wants too be. all better to live alone. You decided who you wants to meet and who gets invited home.

>>38391509
Why be a massive cuck and submit to normies?
Grow a pair. He doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to, considering he's an adult of course.

>>38391940
I did tell him to leave me alone, both with graduation and with my birthday last week. He couldn't get it into his thick skull until it was too late and the event had passed.

>>38390889
https://youtu.be/6wVsRBQssII

I dont understand it either, when i wqs young i liked that my parents would just buy me presents and take me to do laser tag.
Eventually though it loses meaning after maturing and having no friends whatsoever to celebrate with you.

I'm not OP, but I also hate my birthday and have never understood the need for people to party on the day they were born; it just doesn't make sense to me. However, when my family goes through the trouble of buying/baking a cake, cooking steak and inviting people just for me, then I have to go, even though I don't really care about my birthday.
It's not really about me celebrating my birthday; rather, it's about showing my family that I appreciate their effort, time and money and that it was not wasted.

>>38391970
what i've learned is you really have to talk calm about the situation, and really get out what you want. no reeeee autism screams. If that shit doesnt work, ignore the fuck out of him and he might get it. Give it time and he will give up if thats the matter.

he seems to cares, thats why its hard for him to give up. Things we "kids" wont ever understand until we get our own, i guess. I can easily manipulate my mother if i wanted to, since she cares alot about me. But ofc i dont.

>>38391643
Not the same anon .Well then I guess that explains it then I wouldnt blame you to be honest

>>38392047
The thing, is I don't give two shits about me family and their efforts. If they want to waste so much money and time, then fine. Going would have not brought me any benefit whatsoever.

I hope you're just pulling my leg there, champ because your post made me rage.
What an entitled little shitass bitch you are! I mean fuck your parents for raising you completely wrong, but your problem is you.
You're probably a shut in because of some minor physical trait that you blow way out of proportion, but not even 'who you are on the inside' has any value.
I wish you many years of secret loathing and pity from your loved ones who only see you as burden they are obligated to sustain.
Happy birthday.

>>38392081
You may need them at some point, though.
Isn't it better to have more friends than enemies?

Your family's right, you're an asshole. At least be honest with yourself you stupid manchild.
>normie shit
basic human interaction isn't "normie shit". Jesus, you'll wake up a 30 yo one day all alone and you'll probably wonder why. Fucking retard, grow up

>>38392144

now fuck off, normie.

>>38392156
Currently I have no friends nor enemies, and I'm perfectly happy with that.

>>38392182
Maybe you will, and you will only have yourself to blame for not having a better life and ended up killing yourself.

>>38392156
It's not like normie parents actually care for their robot children.
>>38392212
I suppose you're right. I'm glad we've come to an agreement.

>>38392144
Get over it mate, I'm dead serious. Unfortunately for you I'm not a shut in, I'm an Ivy League student doing very well at school. This summer is probably the last time I'll see my family and it's about time they learned I don't care about them.

>>38392160
Good. I want to be left alone.

>>38391594
Yea if you were my kid I'd just cut you off and kick you out. If you don't want to be part of the family or care about the family I'd have no reason to facilitate your existence.

>>38392230
Move out and cut contact with them desu.
You don't fucking need normies in your life.

>>38392205
If you're happy with that, then good for you. :)
But I'm sure there will come a time when you need someone's help with something, and you'll regret that you're all alone.

>>38392275
Knowing OP he'd probably prefer that.

>>38392276
I'm only here for the summer because of a medical issue. September I go back to uni and I'll hopefully never see them again.

>>38390889
Regardless of whether you care about your birthday, your family does care about your birthday. Since you live under their roof and mooch off them like a loser, the least you can do is humour them once a year and accept their kindness, for their sake. It's the same for mother's day, father's day, and Christmas. I don't like or want gifts but I will buy some shit for my parents and accept their gifts on those days because it makes them happy.

/r9k/ is full of pathetic socially retarded autists, and even in this cesspit, you mange to be one of the most retarded people around

>>38390889
Your family just want you to know that you matter to them and they love you. That's all a birthday symbolizes. A celebration that you exist, and that you make other people's lives brighter. You completely rejected them in pretty hurtful ways over something as trivial as video games. They're never going to try and show affection to you ever again.

You will regret this down the road when nobody has told you that they love you or that you matter for several years. Not even your family.

Good. I don't need/want affection.

>You will regret this down the road when nobody has told you that they love you or that you matter for several years. Not even your family.

I don't need to leech off of other people's approval like some fucking normie. Being told that someone loves me doesn't affect my intelligence or my enjoyment in any way.

>>38395208
I don't live with my dad. I'm just staying with him over the summer before I go back to university. I'm an Ivy League student majoring in chemical engineering, and my non-social accomplishments far outweigh my refusal to go dinner with my shitty normie faggot family.

OP here, trying to sift through the (mostly useless) responses. Can someone tell me why my family, if they supposedly care about my happiness and not just their own virtue-signalling, insist on making me come to these sorts of events even if they know I don't want to? What would make me happiness is simply being left alone.

>>38390889
Not to mention that nobody thus far has mentioned how my dad tried to trick me into going to my mom's house with that modem bullshit

>>38395313
But why the hate for your family? I've talked to you for less than 5 minutes and I can see that they

> Spent a fuckton of money to send you to one of the best schools in the U.S.
> Spent a good deal of time and money for you to have a nice birthday
> Are OK with you not working a summer job while you contribute nothing to the family and sit around and play vidyas all day

And yet you still treat them like shit. What did they ever do to warrant that?

Update: my dad came into my room just know, dumped my presents on my desk and left without a word. I don't need these presents, should I throw them in the trash or something? Clearly my family still doesn't understand that I don't want this attention.

I hate birthdays. I always feel as if I should make it something special, so when it ends up being just another normal day, I feel like shit about it.

>>38395488
I don't hate them - I don't give two shits about them either way. I just hate this attention and being forced to go to normie activities like parties (which they constantly made me do when I was a kid) or birthdays, and I hate their refusal to understand that I just want to be left alone.

Oh. Ok. Well good luck with that.

>>38395572
Why don't you just humor them for once? They've done so much to help you, and its clear that they love you and want to spend time with you. Quit being such an ungreatful little shit and show your parents some respect.

>>38395682
I never do anything if there's no benefit for me.

>>38395246
Even if you don't think you need approval from your family, you definitely will need to seek approval from others when you graduate and enter the working world. Merit is important to keeping a job, but getting along with coworkers is equally important. If you can't get along with others and act like an insufferable douche, you'll never hold a job for more than a year. People don't tolerate working with assholes, even if they do good work.

You might want to try caring a little bit about what others think of you, because it's a basic foundation of success.

>>38395739
I understand that. I'm very active in various student organizations on campus, and I hold a few high-ranking positions in some of them. I have worked/am working very closely with a number of people on large group projects, and I take any criticism I receive from my teammates to heart. I know how to work with other people, but on a personal level, I care for nobody except myself.

I know this feel. Normies run on emotion and societal norms. They're so fucking scared of not fitting in that they'll guilt trip you into doing what's considered normal. Just ignore them and they'll eventually give up. At least, that worked for me.

My 19th birthday is in few weeks and I plan on leaving my home early and going to a fitness and eating and just walking around a park and coming late at night so my family doesn't destroy my whole day with bullshit. Should I do it friends?

In all honestly, why would you say it's not possible to at least masquerade as friendly and cooperative when with coworkers, while simultaneously not caring at all about them?

Being an ungrateful twat is what you are doing wrong, your family lovingly gave you all this stuff for your birthday and you would rather just sit alone on some game. This is why dickheads like you are alone because you ont make an effort

>>38396348
physically speaking, yea you have to be in close proximity to people if you want to get anywhere in life.

if you're a fucking asshole to those people, they'll be less likely to support your ambitions. they'll treat you the same way you treat them.

Why don't you like them?

My bad, didnt see that bit

Op, you're a little spoilt cunt.

Your dad should throw you out on the street.

Maybe you should get a job too.

Learn to respect your fucking family or leave. You're under his roof so fucking be nice.

Go get your own place, pay your electricity for your shitty games and buy your own snacks.

You seem very sheltered since a young age.
You might be in university. But you're standing on your parents support.

Faggot.

>>38396696
How old are you?
>Good, I want to be alone.
Everybody (including me) says shit like this all the time in their early adulthood. Once you start getting stressed, then you'll wish you have someone with you. That's why you see "tfw no gf" threads all the time.

Sorry if my grammar is shit, I can't type well with my phone.

>>38396544
well yeah i agree with that, although it doesnt hurt to try. but you need to at least put some effort into the emotional needs of people. reading about how op treats his family shows he might be lacking in this ability

I went to my school graduation only for my parents. Just went with a t-shirt and jeans. I am sure I wouldn't have regretted not going. Just a boring party and got abandoned by my degenerate drunk friends. Had to walk with my secondary group which is fucking boring and normie and I just left them after a while without saying a word. Pretty boring and a bit sad, but we all should make atleast some sacrifices for our relatives

>>38391664

I don't celebrate my birthday and neither do I care for mother's/whatever day, Christmas and other normie holidays.
My family knows this and it's no big deal but if they invite me to have dinner I don't have any reason to refuse, it's just a free nice meal.
You sound like a child throwing a temper tantrum and being stubborn, not like a nonconformist.

>>38396813
How am I spoilt for refusing something I specifically told my parents I didn't want?

>>38397073
This, I don't give a shit about normie's holidays. But seeing my family giving a shit about me makes it worth it.

>>38397038
you spend 40+ hours a week with them. you can't just say "leave me alone! I dont wanna talk to you!". that would probably hurt their feelings, or more likely, make you the asshole everyone hates.

desu you are kind of a piece of shit, your family set something up for you, out of kindness, and you told them to fuck off.

You're entitled to how you feel about birthdays but it would have been better to thank them and eat with them.

They just wanted to do something nice for their son. You showed them that you are way too edgy and literally dont give a single shit about them as people

>>38397220
This will happen to you, OP, if you don't fix your shit.

>>38392344
But you Will probably need their money/resources since you dont look like a person with the mental skills to get a job, fampai.

>>38390889
I Just hope you die by a fall in your shower knowing no one will rescue you, you fucking psychopath. People like you should be culled by the state or used in experiments

>>38397155
you're there to make money not to make friends, normie

Have you tried just not giving a shit about that stuff?

>>38397220
You whiny cunt. I never asked for any of this. Be grateful that you have some privacy. Or be grateful that you almost killed yourself over not getting any birthday cards, and that you might actually kill yourself next year.

>>38397155
I mean are people going to approach me with personal bullshit even though we're there to work, not make friends.

>>38397181
No to both. Focusing on my studies right now, and I'm not interested in relationships.

Wait until you get out to the real world, kid. You'll be in the +25 general.

>tfw in a few years this fuck will be one of those faggots saying his family is evil because they kicked him out on his ads

Also good luck in the real world after you graduate. The professional world hinges on normal social interaction, and people like you are identified quickly and removed from the setting because no company wants to have psychopaths working for them.

>anon come celebrate your birthday!
>parents get you a shitty card, a shitty gift, or $100 gift card to somewhere you shopped at 5 years ago
>birthday dinner is filled with questions they already know the answer to but normies are socially awkward when its silent
>after dinner their kindness immediately ends and its back to the 364 days of hell where normies bitch about their easy lives, get angry for no reason, act passive aggressive, and give you shit for existing when you're likely 100x more successful doing whatever you spend your time on
if you care about your birthday you are a fucking normal. if you appreciate your parents giving you some last minute gift, you're a normal. now get the fuck off this board and go back to r*ddit or /pol/ (not that they're any different)

>>38397602
Only idiots go into relationships with modern women.
They're fucking unloyal cancerous leeches.

>>38391868
>read the papers

worst advice to anyone who's actually been to GB

I'm not going to judge you completely negative for this, because I have a friend who's basically a normie, well off job lots of mates good social life....he just fucking hates his family and does his best to avoid them because they treated him like shit in favor of his sisters all his childhood and they typically either want validation from him or some of his money.

So I get that. If you were the typical leech robot I'd say you're being ungrateful since they're putting up with you when they could kick you out, but that's apparantly not the case.

That being said, unless you manage to be a genius scientist working in a lab by yourself all day, you're gonna have to learn to deal with social interaction with normies for work, otherwise you'll never get ahead, be viewed as the creepy potential workplace shooter, and be first on the chopping block to get fired when they need to let someone go.

So while you can cut out your family with this attitude if you want, no big loss if you don't need them, you will have trouble in other points in life if your attitude towards everyone is fuck you leave me alone.

Regardless I would have went for the free food myself.

>>38397726
>Only idiots go into relationships with modern women. They're fucking unloyal cancerous leeches.

There is a reason why a lot of robots + non-chads, wants to be a relationship. Are you ever going to have a job since you're moving out for school?

>>38397830

Kek.

>>38397830
I completely understand where you're coming from. I have zero friends at uni right now, but I am activate in a number of student organizations right now. I also hold a few leadership positions and have to work with normies a lot for group projects, and people seem to appreciate my efforts and keep giving me more positions. I put up with the bare minimum social interaction to 1. cooperate in finishing the project and 2. showing some courtesy. They all know that I avoid parties like the plague, but I've had a number of trivial, light-hearted conversations with them and they don't seem to think that I'm going to shoot up the school or anything.

>>38397875
I want to get a job after I graduate. I'm pretty sure I have social skills reasonably developed enough to get a job and not be completely despised by all my coworkers.

>>38397967
So you're parents are giving you money for food?

>>38397662
Maybe. I don't need to spend the rest of my life with some normie whore I don't care abou

I mean I'd still do it for the gifts if I were you, that way you win in some way. But it's pretty natural for parents to celebrate birthdays for their children. If you really don't care about your birthday you probably should have told them that, I mean did you seriously expect them to not do anything for you on your birthday?

>>38397988
Right now they're paying for tuition, food, housing etc as they should.

>>38398022
>as they should
>20

Kek. Sounds to me you're just ungrateful.

>>38398014
Honestly I don't care for the gifts. As you can see from >>38395519
Also I told both my dad and my grandmother that I had no intent on doing anything for my birthday.

>>38394643
Yes you fucking normie what the fuck has my family ever done for me

>>38397429
Are you in college? You know those awesome group projects with random people?
That's work everyday, except you'll be seeing those random people a lot more often. You see them on break. You see them at lunch. You try to get away from them for 5 minutes and you end up taking a piss next to them in the bathroom. It's expected that you communicate with your coworkers, you know, to do your job.

So yeah, might want to work on your social skills if you were planning on avoiding everyone.

>Fuck that. I'm going to be a programmer.
Also, I'm a Programmer.

>>38398040
I'm a unifag from a well off family, of course they should pay for all that. You're saying they don't have an obligation to pay for their son? It's not as if I can afford to pay two years of Ivy League education all by my self.

See my other posts about clubs/group activities. I get along perfectly with normies in those situations, even manage to have some personal/light-hearted conversations without sperging out

hi oldfag here, just visiting today for shits and giggles. you mentioned normals and reddit so i just wanted to share some /r9k/ history you may have not heard of. back in the day, was known as "/b/ but for grown ups". it was more or less a cool hang out spot for normals who to greentext stories about spilling spaghettis and walking dinosaurs. these normals surprisingly led the way for /r9k/! Interesting!

anyway, you might have heard of the mass-exodus when mootykins slayed the arcanine and hundreds of thousands of robots were left without a home. well turns out there was this other website called reddit was becoming very popular. so with no place else to go, many a robot voyaged to this website known as reddit, bringing along their memes such as foreveralone. soon after, reddit's popularity exploded, mostly because you can tell your friends about reddit, and not 4chan. the rest is as they say, is history.

pretty cool huh! /r9k/ was originally a large normie hangout spot, and helped lead the way to the popularity of reddit! so yeah, tell your friends. it's a little piece of internet history that most people don't know anymore

Why is it so hard for normies to understand that we just want to be left the fuck alone? We don't fucking care about normie shit. If we want something, we'll go and do it ourselves when we're good and ready. Quit trying to drag us around and just leave us the fuck alone.

Then I entered the real world and realized that being totally alone is hell and that everyone has to do things they don't want to do if they want to be successful.

I've said this before, but I'll repeat it because I want your opinion.

I'm very active in a number of organizations/clubs on campus - hold a few leadership positions as well - and have to get along with normies for group projects and the like. Although everyone knows that I'm quiet and avoid parties like the plague, they also know that I'm a very good worker and can hold a friendly conversation or two without completely sperging out. AFAIK most of them don't despise me or think I despise them.

The thing is, I also have no genuine friends at all, due to my own choices.

See, you can say you want to be left alone and be a bratty little cunt driving people away as much as you want, but all you're going to do is make yourself even more miserable and bitter than you already are.

Humans are HARD-WIRED to crave social interaction and companionship. If we lack it for too long, we start getting stressed out and instinctively seek out other humans. You can't get rid of this no matter how hard you try.

>>38399756
I'm not some pissy bitch who's dependent on other people. I'm perfectly happy, and not bitter or miserable, to be alone.

>>38399756

Why is no one fucking READING THE THREAD? OP already explained that he gets regular social interaction through clubs at uni.

>>38399908
I mean, I get "teamwork" and "professional" social interaction. As I said, I have zero genuine friends and don't go to purely social events such as parties at all.

>>38390889
>"You might be a sociopath if...."

>>38399756
Don't bother trying to explain the value of companionship to OP. He has level-10 autism and lacks any capacity for empathy or human emotion. You're wasting your time.

Family obligations can be a bitch, and I would say that recognizing the effort put forth by your family is important. That being said if you politely refused, at an earlier date at that, I can understand your side. Also if your mother was nasty abusive cunt growing up.

>>38399908
Events were set in motion that you and I cannot control leading to this eventual inevitability.

"Friends" and family are an unnecessary distraction. Interacting with other people in your day to day life is an unavoidable necessity, but you should always keep others at arm's length. There is absolutely nothing beneficial to be gained from purely social relationships and activities. The associated obligations are just a waste of time and effort that is better spent improving the self.

>>38390889

I tend not to tell people about my birthday because they usually don't remember on the day of my birthday which makes me feel like more shit.

>>38395519
Jesus fucking Christ. Stop being so self centered and just roll with it. Throw them out when you get back to college, but don't just trash them right after your parents get them for you.

>>38400144
I want him to know how little he means to me.

>>38395519

I'd give them back. Tell them you don't want to celebrate your birthday, and that includes presents and for them to sell them and keep the money.

Or sell them yourself, and give them back the money.

That way you can say you called it even, tried to the message accross that you simply don't want anything to do with them, but you aren't taking advantage of them either.

Throwing them out is just gonna make them think you're crazy or something and they'll try to keep getting through to you.

Prove you're an adult that no longer needs their coddling by resolving it like an adult would.

>>38400244
How can you even type a sentence like that? Have a little empathy, for Christ's sake.

I hate my birthday more and more for every year that passes. I really liked it when I was a child though, but that was when life was easy and before I become a mentally ill/anxious/depressive cynical.
I hate attention. I am anti-social because I'm unhappy. I hate people overall (unless I find myself in a good mood). I hate living with my mom.
My birthday is almost on christmas day (dec 24) but during that time it's summer here so instead of a comfy night drinking hot chocolate while it snows outside, it's hot as fuck and everybody meets up with family or friends to party, drink alcohol, and you know just acting like degenerates.
I always wish I could just burry myself in the earth for the whole day.

>>38400329
I'd say to an extent I derive pleasure from making people upset, plus he's really fucking annoying.

>>38398910
My story isn't melodramatic. I grew up as a robot from an alcoholic family. I developed a drug addiction primarily to opiates and hated being around people. I dropped out of college, was diagnosed with BPD and major clinical depression.

Then I woke up and fixed my life. I've been sober for several years, have a promising career path, friends and a dream gf. I'm just trying to share my experience because I felt the same way he did and I was only a year or two away from it permanently ruining my life.

>>38398967
That's great but everyone who is in the know will understand that clubs and organizations on campus are no replacement for social activeness. Since you're studying chemical engineering maybe it won't matter for you since some level of social awkwardness is expected. Regardless I'm not speaking to your capacity to be successful in a career, I'm sure you can be. It's being successful in all areas of life that is the real challenge.

Having relationships is a good thing, be it friends or family or romantic. Better to try out having some friends and a girlfriend - then if you find it's not to your liking you can always go back to how you're living now. I doubt you will, though. I'm an introvert to the core and I still find it important to have people you care about and who care about you. Living life alone is a miserable existence.

>>38400356
That doesn't match up with the rest of this thread. In the OP you ask how you're in the wrong, yet here it sounds like you clearly know what you're doing and are doing it out of malice.

>>38400385
I refused to go to the birthday purely because I didn't want to. But after seeing how important it was for my parents and how they acted, I'm feeling quite smug thinking about how upset they were.

OP is, by and large, the single edgiest faggot I've ever seen on this website. Hands down. Unironically, neck yourself.

>>38391876
My mom broke down and cried when I stopped going to school junior year, went off on a huge rant and said how sad she was that she'd never get to see her son walk down the aisle and get my diploma at graduation. A year later caught up and graduated on time, but holy shit was it nightmarish. Worst night of my fucking life

>>38400490
In my defence >>38398053 was not me. But otherwise I thank you for this acknowledgement of my power level.

I just had an epic ass 23rd birthday, new (used) gaming PC, money, clothes, hella cake, then got turnt up at a huge party with 5 of my best freinds, then flew out of town for 3 days to see my favorite relatives, life is good (:

>>38400874
Fuck out of here with your happy shit normie

What possible benefit is there for me to pretend to care about shit like this? It does nothing for me and it's pointless.

And don't give me any normie shit like "it makes people happy" or "you should be grateful." I don't care. The feelings of others mean nothing to be because they don't benefit me in the slightest.

>>38400874
No you didn't, you got drunk alone and played a singleplayer game by yourself.

How old are you?

I felt the same way in high school, then I grew out of it. You'll do the same, or end up an eternal man child posting angrily on /r9k/ in a decade about your encroaching wizard status.

Wonder what kind of event turned OP into such a "le world is a fuck xd" kid. At what point, did his brain snap, or was he born like this?

>>38400962
Not even on my worst day, I don't even play video games anymore man, I try and get gud at other life goals... Might log in to the ol playstation just for fun sometime soon tho. Or not xD

I told one of my only friends that I wanted to spend my birthday alone and he acted like I was some weirdo, then got butthurt that I didn't come over and spend my birthday with him and his roomies.

Normiebook is the worst, a bunch of fags that don't give a fuck about you wishing you well. And all the passive aggressive fags that wish everyone else a happy birthday but not me. Not that I care, I"m ready to delete normiebook again.

I feel you on not wanting your own birthday being made into a big deal. I have trouble with the idea of people making a day about me, I have trouble accepting gifts, and ever since I was a kid, I've had a problem with asking for anything.

That said, I think you should go in situations like this. The people who love you want to celebrate the fact that you were born. There must be people who you're glad exist, and you're probably making them sad by not even going out to eat with them. I'm literally autistic and an absolute prick, and even I see you coming off like a dick here. If they're fucking crying and going out of their way for this shit once a year, you can spend a few hours with them, even if it is super-uncomfortable

>>38401304
This is an elaborate role play to make the OP feel like shit right?

If not good on you, that sounds like the sickest birthday of all time.

>>38401304
Sounds like a great time anon (: glad to see the birthday fun still doesnt end at 30!

>>38401385
That legitimately was how my birthday went this last year. It was a great day. One of my best. Pushing OP's buttons is a little bonus, but I mostly wanted to share some good birthday stories and liven up the thread.

>>38390889
>Why am I in the wrong here?
Because you are selfish, and naively think birthdays are all about you.

Read a fucking book some day instead sitting on your ass playing mindless video games and maybe you'll develop enough intelligence to understand why you're a piece of shit.

>>38401304

Are you the kind of person towards whom people speak really slowly and only use small words?

One day you will remember this day and you will weep uncontrollably at what you have done.

>>38401339
My family has known my whole life that I'm antisocial and don't care about being with them. Despite that, they've been nagging me my whole life to go to stupid shitty events and get-togethers with them. It's about time they learned I don't give two shits about them.

>>38401532
Are you or are you not being financially supported by your family?

>>38401541
I'll await that day with anticipation.

>>38401541
You normalfags say this about everything.

>>38401592
I am being financially supported by them. Are you saying every college student whose parents pay for their tuition is a NEET?

>>38393999
This right here. When your family REALLY gives up on you, I mean truly honestly stops giving a damn is when the hammer really falls and you instantly realize what a terrible mistake you've made, and what you've lost.

Why do parents push their children so hard to socialize? Because some of them have seen what happened to the members of the family they knew before who didn't.

>>38391376

>>38395246
>Being told that someone loves me doesn't affect my intelligence or my enjoyment in any way.
It actually does affect your intelligence in a very strong and direct manner, but I doubt there's any getting through to you so I'm not going to take the time to explain. I guess the only way you'll learn is from the pain.

>>38401680
If you're a baby or a normalfag, maybe.

>>38401532
You are getting a free ride to sit on your ass and fill in bubbles alongside the normies I'm sure you think you are oh so superior to. LOL. "LIFE IS SO HARD AS A STUDENT OMG!!!" Thanks for confirming my suspicion by getting butthurt.

>>38398053
No wonder you turned out all fucked lol

>>38401620
Of course not, but the only thing separating you and homelessness is them. Do you even have a part-time job or do they pay for literally everything?

I think the fact that I have to explain this to you this slowly shows that you dont need to be smart to go to uni.

But that's awful. I get that "I don't give one fuck about you" is precisely what you're conveying, but that's way fucked-up. They're you're family and they must love you if they all got together to celebrate you. It's one day a year, and you don't even have to spend the whole day with them. Acting like that is clearly hurting their feelings if they're burying their hands in their faces over this. They're glad you're alive. You could have one fucking dinner with them.

Trust on this anon, even if you're icy enough that you'll never regret this, THEY will definitely be hurt and haunted by this shit for a LONG time, and that matters.

>>38396201
There will come a time in your life when you wish more than anything in the world you could just be in a room with your family eating a poorly cooked steak.

You are lying about this or the OP post. Unless the club you're referring to is the Anime Club.

>>38401680
You know, you're exactly like my parents. You tell me why I need to be a normie and socialize, why I need to be a sort of social vampire to sustain myself, but just respond with "DUDE JUST B URSELF" whenever I ask why.

I made this entire thread because I'm open to discussion and changing my opinion, and because I'm trying to learn. People like you just dismissing me simply because I'm not a normie only reinforce my opinion that I don't need love or affection.

>>38401304

The guy in your post would not make this post. He'd be getting ready for bed after having sex with his wife right now.

Doesn't matter. I'm actively taking steps to make my life better, and taking advantage of everything offered to me - that includes money my parents are willing to offer up.

>>38401727
>part of loving your family is compromise
I don't love them. I've made this pretty clear.

>part of being an adult is doing things you don't always want to do

Someone who does something just because he's told to is called an errand boy.

>>38401829

>>38401806
>I made this entire thread because I'm open to discussion and changing my opinion,
Nah, you're not. Or else you'd have made better posts and tried to understand what people have said to you.

Honestly, if your post is not a troll post I think you are a 100% genuine dumb ass. A literal stupid person. Some people are just not that smart, no matter what an IQ test says, or their ability to write seemingly coherent sentences online. If you can't see how you fucked up you're an idiot.

>>38401733
So you basically acted like a child (before you even got plastered). Sounds like a fun time.

I don't do things that don't provide me with benefit. Sure it may have made them happy, but that two hours I could have spent playing Overwatch is worth infinitely more to me than two hours with them. Of course two hours is such a small amount, but that just goes to show how little I care for my own birthday.

>Trust on this anon, even if you're icy enough that you'll never regret this, THEY will definitely be hurt and haunted by this shit for a LONG time, and that matters.

Not my problem. I doubt I'll ever see them again after this summer anyway.

>>38401742
Why do you say that? What makes you think I'll change from who I am now?

>>38401506
My birthday is on Dec. 19, which is a little less than 7 months ago. Does that not count as a few months? I suppose I could have said half a year ago. Sorry for not being more clear.

>>38401783
:) I'm not lying. Don't believe it if you don't want to; I want advice, not jokes.

>>38401889
Oh really? What would constitute a "better post" in your opinion?

>tried to understand what people have said to you.
Kind of hard to do when people don't explain anything beyond normie prejudices. I get that I """should""" love my family and that they care about me, but I don't see what benefit it has for my personally.

>>38401733
21st sounded pretty fun tbqh. Mine isn't in the summer, so I never got to do cool outdoorsy stuff like that. Thanks for sharing.

>>38401829

By spiting them you're playing with fire.

They aren't obligated to put you through uni, and they could easily cut you off and toss your ass out.

I hate normie stuff as much as the next robot, but you should wait until you defintiely need nothing more from your family before trying to burn bridges.

You're intentionally trying to piss them off and are reveling in their reactions. If they decide to not pay your last amount of tuition and toss your ass on the street, then you're fucked pal.

>>38402037
>, but I don't see what benefit it has for my personally.
Because everyone likes to feel appreciated. And it turns slowly turns you into a more bareable person for people to deal with in the future instead of being a petulant child.

Just throw your family a bone. It's not the end of the world.

>>38401823
I live on the west coast. It's 9 pm right now. I'm sitting at home watching Forensic Files with my wife and posting in this thread on my laptop. She knows I go here, and has had fun reading some of the posts in this thread with me.

I doubt that missing one dinner with them would piss them off that much.

>>38402086
>Because everyone likes to feel appreciated
Not me, I keep telling you. I'm trying to understand what the benefits of "feeling appreciated" - beyond ones that normal people allegedly feel intrinsically - are.

>>38402111

One dinner, no but this sounds like you've been doing this for years.

>>38402132
I've not cared for them for many years but there have been two events that upset them to this degree - me missing my birthday, and me missing my graduation ceremony (just do Ctrl + F "graduation")

>>38402127

World is give and take. You go out of your way for people and they'll do so for you.

Ex: Coworker needs you to help move some furnatiure in their apartment. You refuse because fuck them you want to be left alone and it gives you no benefit immediately. You'd rahter spend the weekend playing Overwatch.

Two weeks later you lose all your work from a freak computer glitch and the only person that can recover it is that person, who won't because why should they go out of their way for you when you wouldn't for them.

Not him, but I'll try to explain this to you the best I can.

You must have some concept of "ought," right? Even if it's not something you consider to be a moral "ought," there are still "shoulds" in your conception of things, I'd imagine.

This is one of those "oughts" or "shoulds." Even if you don't feel affection, doing it out of principle is still fine, and being kind and interacting with people even when you don't feel any warmth isn't really lying as much as it is being loving. Sometimes life will demand that you have to act the way you ought to in spite of not feeling ANYTHING, least of all warmth or motivation, and you still have to because it's right.

Not only does your behavior hurt them, it hurts them on a scale that dwarfs whatever marginal utility you get out of playing Overwatch for those exact two hours, and this hurt's gonna last a LOT longer than whatever dopamine you get out of today's Overwatch time will. In terms of simple cost-benefit, your choice makes no sense.

A big part of human behavior is ritual. It's one of those things like eye contact or touching that usually feels alien, but it's integral to social interaction. Social interaction matters. Family matters. Other people have feelings, too, and they matter, especially their feelings towards and about their families. Birth is good, and life is good, and people like to celebrate them. It hurts them that you don't observe this ritual with them because your presence is a necessary part of it.

Jesus, dude. You have to care about SOMEBODY other than yourself, right? Sometimes that means doing things that don't make sense, sometimes things that don't make sense are worthwhile, and often you should treat people how THEY want to be treated and not how you want to be treated.

Good God, dude.

>>38401954
>infinitely more to me than two hours with them
But your presence at your own birthday is worth infinitely more to them than 2 hours of Overwatch is to you.

>>38402199
I understand that, but I'm not looking for anything from my family in particular. I just want to cut off communication with them and be done.

>>38402264
Why? They must be more harm than good to you if that's the case. Have they done something wrong?

>>38402236
I appreciate the effort you put into your post. I certainly understand what you mean by "ought" (are you from the UK by any chance? I've never heard an American use that word), and that it's sort of a natural pull some people feel. But the only "ought" I feel is that I don't "ought" to do anything. I accept this is atypical - maybe it's because of my aspergers or maybe I'm just a psychopath. As I said before, someone who does something he hates just because he's told is called an errand boy. Sure it hurts them, but I don't see things in terms of right or wrong, I see them more objectively. Objectively, I don't care about my birthday, so I won't go to dinner with my family, simply put.

>Not only does your behavior hurt them, it hurts them on a scale that dwarfs whatever marginal utility you get out of playing Overwatch for those exact two hours, and this hurt's gonna last a LOT longer than whatever dopamine you get out of today's Overwatch time will. In terms of simple cost-benefit, your choice makes no sense.

You're confusing my costs with theirs. I suffered no costs, because whether or not my parents feel happy that they get to see me, or sad that they don't has no effect on me. The only cost in this scenario was my time, and since I did not suffer that cost, I feel good about myself.

>You have to care about SOMEBODY other than yourself, right?
Not in the slightest.

>But your presence at your own birthday is worth infinitely more to them than 2 hours of Overwatch is to you.

Not my problem.

>>38402415
My mother was abusive, but beyond that I just don't see any need to associate with them and am annoyed by them.

>>38402447
>are you from the UK by any chance? I've never heard an American use that word
Nah. Actually from Southern nevada/SoCal. I just like grammar and speak a lot differently from most, valley girl crap and "likes" aside.

>this is atypical - maybe it's because of my aspergers or maybe I'm just a psychopath.
It is pretty atypical. I dunno if it's even the sperg, because even I care about people.

>you're confusing my costs with theirs. I suffered no costs, because whether or not my parents feel happy that they get to see me, or sad that they don't has no effect on me.
I'm not confusing the two, I'm just giving them both weight. Other people matter, whether you feel that way or not.

>Not in the slightest.
>Not my problem.
I don't think I can convince you if you just don't care about anybody else.

>someone who does something he hates just because he's told is called an errand boy
You're not supposed to do it BECAUSE you're told. You're supposed to do it because it's right. And being an errand boy is fine sometimes. Surrender can actually be a really good thing.

>>38402467
I can understand milking somebody who abused you for their money and then cutting them off, but if you really don't feel a grudge, I don't get it.

>>38402447
Not him but I've been following the thread and I'm about to leave, so just want to tell you that if you're leeching off your parents (hurr durr I'm better than a neet because my parents are paying for my school) eating with them on your birthday is the least you could do to thank them. If your time is so precious that you can't do that then why the fuck are you here in the first place? You clearly feel something about treating your family that way or else you wouldn't be making this thread, you can take the advice some anons gave you or not, that's up to you.
You're fully autistic and edgy but you're still not welcome here
>I'm such a psychopath you guys do I fit in now

I think you will enjoy life more if you learn to control your emotions and make them work for your benefit, rather than have them control you.

I act like op, partially as a way to alienate my family so they don't feel as bad when I just cut all contact and leave one day
