>>38515790
4chan counts as socialization, right?

There's a screencap of a text by someone how sadness affects your brain and rots it. It sounds like bullshit, but the general gist sounds right.

n-no

Overwatch competitive helps me be able to socialize by making friends to duo queue with and communicate as a team.

>>38515843
Sort of since you're exposed to a narrative outside your head but i guess the socialization also implies physical activity so, just in case, do one set of exercise between posts and you should probably be fine.

most people are malicious and will judge you too quickly. people in general will treat you badly if you look a certain way. socializing is not healthy like scientists portray it to be. sometimes its best not to be exposed.
i would even go far as saying socialization is more unhealthy than not doing it at all. don't expect any understanding or empathy from the average bystander

i don't believe r9k is anti-social. they just got burned alot.

i was (((anti-social))) most of my life and i had 2 great friends that i used to talk with for hours.

I mean does it really logically speaking here does our "emotions" really treat the body like I heard that imaging just lifting weights is almost like lifting it actually soooooo idk if that's true https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xetnJ_gNRBQ&t=17s 4:51

r9k is asocial, not anti-social.

You have to be quite naive to expect it from strangers in the first place. Most people actually dont pay attention to you as long as you're not some NYC weird level.

well i didnt really mean bystander. even close friends lack basic sympathy or empathy

the better you look, the more sympathy and empathy you will get. robots realized how the formula works and they gave up

>>38518260
>the better you look, the more sympathy and empathy you will get.
that's just a rationalization of your situation.

>>38518285
maybe. but there is some basis behind it

>>38518330
>but there is some basis behind it
If you want to receive sympathy from complete strangers then yes but with friends your personality matters more than looks.

>>38518365
your personality have its own weight. you can certainty be more likable with great personality.
but you don't need personality when you have looks
the question is. do looks have a negative effect on close relationships

>>38518389
>do looks have a negative effect on close relationships
I think it does when the difference too big, the less attractive partner will be anxious and paranoid.

Doesn't explain people who have a high tolerance for solitude and introverts who feel more comfortable and relaxed and less stressed and anxious alone and with themselves than with others desu.

Maybe it is the case for 90-95% of the population though.

It might just be people who would benefit from socialization but have been burned to much to enjoy it anymore / are more at ease in solitude.
If society wasn't so hostile to differing opinions and robots so sensitive to others unwarranted irrational emotions I suppose it would be better to socialize but this is an almost impossible situation to conjure so it is the healthiest option for some.

4chan counts as socializing ya dingus

People who lack ties that provide for intimacy, a sense of belonging, opportunities for nurturance, and reassurance
of worth are physiologically stressed. Social networks may indeed influence generalized suseptibility to illness as has been hypothesized by some (2, 3, 7, 17), or networks may affect the course of many diseases through multiple mechanisms. In either case the biologic responses to this stressful condition may lead to alterations in both known biologic risk factors (e.g.
blood pressure, serum cholesterol) and in as yet unidentified processes.

Desu socializing drains me, after school I would come home feeling tired as fuck, fall asleep on the bus, same with any non-school socializing thing, absolutely draining.

>visiting a museum as part of the school trip on busy weekday = drained and exhausted by the end of it
>visit the same museum alone on off-hours when there are few others inside= spend as long as I can there soaking everything in then come back home tired but happy

Socializing on 4chan anonymously is enough for me honestly

>>38515790
It's true, I can confirm that from personal experience. In college I'm lonely almost all the time, and as a result I became noticeably unhealthy mentally. My brain felt stupider, and I could barely focus on things, I felt much more unhappy, and I became more and more afraid of other people from the lack of interaction.

I'm quite better now thanks to summer break, but I'll have to continue the cycle again. Loneliness fucking sucks.

The worst part is that the longer you're alone, the less you want to be around other people. It's a trap you don't want to fall in.

>>38522082
And you're saying I don't? Or that my mind "has to be" busy all the time?

If you need to read a study about it to know about it, you are obviously not truly lonely or isolated yourself.

>>38521772
Nobody says that masturbating every day is healthy, retard. It's good to do once in a while, say once or twice a week.

>>38522373
They literally did say that in all the (((studies))) that got a lot of media attention 2-3 years ago

>>38519585
>Doesn't explain people who have a high tolerance for solitude and introverts who feel more comfortable and relaxed and less stressed and anxious alone and with themselves than with others desu.
OP was talking about loneliness and solitude, not about spending an evening by yourself to watch Netflix or read 4chan, while your friends are out partying.
God, normalfags are getting more stupid every day. You literally cannot get it into your head that there are actual human beings who don't have any friends or social contacts, can you? That shit messes with you, whether you're an introvert or not.

Nah, i get tired too fast

>>38522492
while talking to other people i mean.

After ~1h talking i already feel exhausted

>>38515790
Pretty sure those studies were for chads.

You can be in solitude and not be lonely retard, and that was me who typed that post I'm in no way a normalfag, nor have any social contacts.

Read the story of this guy and realize he was fully comfortable living alone with his mind and his books, until (((society))) forced him to back to living with people and never allowing him such solitude again, though that is because he had to steal a lot to survive but besides that.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/04/north-pond-hermit-maine-knight-stranger-woods-finkel/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Thomas_Knight

You just need something to occupy yourself with, he had a vast collection of books, and a camp space to keep in order. The more damaging kind of lonely solitude is solitary confinement in prisons and the like without any stimulation or hobbies to indulge in, nor any freedom for that matter.

And if you furthermore want an example from someone who is not a criminal and had to steal to survive then look no further than those who set out to sea alone on their boats/yachts and enjoy the comfort of being in solitude out at sea for months at a time.

So once again, the veracity of these studies is doubtful, at least when you consider there ARE people in society, who value and thrive in solitude and don't feel lonely at all because they are fully comfortable with themselves, and their solitary hobbies and activities, and you call me a normalfag.

>>38522306
Either or. I'm not making any assumptions on your life, but introverts that don't have the negative issues associated with lack of social interaction typically lead fulfilling lives. People are capable living by themselves so long as they've actually living and meeting their needs instead of just hanging out at home and doing nothing.

I dunno I think what you eat and your sleeping schedule are what's at fault.
I sleep 9+ hours per day, and make sure to limit my sugar intake. Taking multivitamins each day with fish oil and genestein.

>tfw you start stuttering when talking to people because you only talk to people once every couple of weeks

I'm used to being alone now. I think I'm a true robot. No more feels. My brain is on autopilot. All feels are repressed. I just go through the motions.

It's really hard to play Overwatch on console because nobody has a mic unless they're a grating small child or too drunk to hold a controller properly so you can't coordinate or communicate unless you have a group of friends in a party.

What are you on about OP? Are you being a fag again?

I can socialize so easy at work in a professional environment, I can hang with any normie and they believe I am one of them. But if I try that outside of work, especially with hot girls that I don't know around I completely shut down and become quiet again. I've come so far but I still have this block I can't get through.

>>38515790
This study is more of a meme study if it makes you feel better. If you're content with isolation and not feeling the need to be around normalfags / have meaningless social connections it makes no difference.

>>38515790
What you guys don't realize is that 4chan IS A FORM OF SOCIALIZATION.
The only problem is that instead of using it to build effective communication skills, you spend all day pitying yourselves and hating each other, instead of building one another up.

It's exactly like >>38515843 said, everything you get from real world conversations you can get from 4chan. None of you made the effort to use this to your advantage.
