To be alone or nah.

Also, what is your experience with self inflicted loneliness and why if able.

I am too emotionally broken to type out a thought-out response, but I did consider it. While I was doing so, I found this picture of Shaq that I liked. Ultimately, I decided not to give this any serious thought, but I wanted you to have this picture of Shaq.

Hope you are well!

They get angry if you're not part of their club. They preach all day even though it actually pushes people away from their cause because they want to feel superior to others.

>>39141438
Oh well I appreciate the thought. Take care!
>>39141446
Yeah it's almost like they want you to be stuck in their predicament. I honestly think a few of them are jealous of me in that sense (unless they are the perfect couple that does everything together)

Much bump. Need a few more perspectives

Fulfilment is a result of balance. Balanced diet, physical balance, work-life balance, and balance between security and freedom. Too much of one or the other and anything, a state, a human psyche, will crumble. Balance allows you to be adaptable and always find your feet, whereas subscribing to an absolute makes you the tree that breaks in the wind, not bends.

Everyone needs acceptance. A relationship is just one of the ways people get it. As long as you are aware of your own needs along the spectrum of security and freedom, you can structure your life to meet them and find fulfilment.

I am currently in a relationship but I act on my own. She simply chooses to share my life because she gets greater fulfilment from doing so than detriment, and greater fulfilment from doing so than if she were alone. I feel the same way so for now our paths can continue down the same axis.

I think I feel some sort of feeling like boredom that I have nothing warm and soft to fuck or sleep with at night. I sometimes wish I could share things I like with a cute girl.

However those feels, truly, are like a small gray cloud in an otherwise beautiful sky. I find fulfillment, purpose, and worth in other pursuits that I have chosen for myself when others find it in romantic relationships or whatever. These aforementioned clouds could soon be whisked away by better life-like robots/sex dolls and so on, whereas the negative effects of romantic relationships are too often permanent.

I think I might be schizoid on some level, because I really don't know what people mean when they say loneliness is. I think I miss the presence of pretty women, because my lifestyle basically puts me in a sausagefest and I see maybe one or two females per month. It's less a bad feeling and more a surprise when I'm somewhere and there's suddenly a really strikingly pretty girl and it's about like being warped in a world where some fantasy creature is completely normal for a few hours, and then going back to our world where those creatures are just on TV and not in real life.

>when they say loneliness is
*a bad feeling because I don't really know what loneliness feels like. I would describe it as boredom, I think, but I'm not sure about that being accurate, I don't think I really feel loneliness at all.

derp, I think I noticed a typo in the previous sentence and didn't finish this one before typing the rest

>>39142145
Interesting opinion. Thank you for the perspective. I believe this is the one I mostly relate to
>>39142235
What kind of work do you do?

>>39142913
Machine shop stuff. I go work in my corner of the shop making stuff by myself. There are no women in the shop, there's a secretary up front but she's old and somewhat butch. I drive home from the industrial district, pay gas at the pump, groceries once a month on off hours in 24/7 stores.

That's pretty much it, my hobbies are either done at home or involve going out into the wilderness where there's nobody around either.

I enjoy being alone, and I really hate it how normies think it's so horrible and evil not liking to be around others.

>>39143014
Hmmm. So would you say you're happy? Don't lie.

>>39143192
Yes.

To robotblock this, I have to say the only things that make me feel like saying "no" is how I don't make much money. If I had a better salary, I think I wouldn't be able to reply without just mashing the keyboard to get by the r9k mute.

>>39143134
It's not that they think it's necessarily evil so much as they believe it's impossible to live without that kind of interaction. Basically extrovert doesn't understand introversion.

>used to be a social person
>highschool my life fell apart
>been a social recluse ever since
>grow to crave the loneliness
If I'm broken I don't want to be fixed senpai

>>39143239
Well then I'm glad for you. May I ask what brings you to r9k in general?

>>39143255
Share with me what happened. I like hearing people's stories.

>>39143243
They seem to think that being alone is such a big deal, though. A lot of those types of people are always looking for some kind of validation, and I couldn't even care less about any of that stuff. I know I'm introverted, but it doesn't bother me in the least. It doesn't make sense to me why others would care so much.

>>39143281
I like the "post your room" threads, I often save pictures of pretty girls, there are some really unintentionally hilarious greentext stories posted...

Honestly I'm not sure. Maybe it's because I don't fit in anywhere, so I tend to feel accepted in a small anonymous corner of the internet full of people that don't fit in.

>>39143321
Not much to tell
>friends abandoned me
>moved out of my old home
>harsh bullying drove me further into isolation
Honestly looking back at it all, I don't blame myself so much. If anyone was placed in my situation at the time, they probably would've done the same, or worse.

>>39143396
Yeah I'm with you on that one. They just cannot comprehend it and so.e view it as an illness. It's really just ignorance combined with projection
>>39143431
Cool. Yeah I like the people here honestly.
>>39143454
Social rejection sucks man. I can tell you from experience that finding a physical hobby/activity that you love and can pour your effort into is the way to go though.
