After 3 years without human interaction you'll become

Yes, he was actually better than he should be

>>84383882
Yes. Try the NEET life sometime. Shit gets weird only a few months in.

>>84384762
There's a difference with isolation in a tiny cell, and isolation in the entire city
Dude still had his dog, played golf, etc

>>84383882

Much less than that, just depends on the individual how long you can take

There was a British show where a guy went to live in the Yukon alone for 3 months,
He could only last 50 days and had to pull out almost exclusively because the isolation drove him crazy

>>84384841

You're right about the dog but there's still the need for human to human interaction , not to mention his guilt and loss of his family compounding things.

I Am Legend is a good book and a quick read. I recommend it.

>>84383882
Sure it's a big city and there's really nothing else to do. No you can't make yourself an example because browsing the internet isn't "isolation"

>>84384841

The guy spoke to mannequins and tried to kill himself

>I Am Legend is a good book and a quick read. I recommend it.
and the omega man is the best film version based on that book, the will smith film is total shit.

>>84384868
I seen this on tv, the guy was a massive faggot.
he had all food, camping gear, a camera, entertainment.
Full on camping holiday basically, and he was crying as soon as he ran out of food. He then called his mummy to help him.

He couldn't handle actual survival so why did he even do this.
He wasn't even in real isolation.

faggot bitch too.
roastie getting a 3 square a day in solitary confinement.

I don't like people but if I didn't even have people to shitpost with I think I might lose it. If you give me the internet and a good dog I'd be fine without people forever, I don't really like them.

>>84384944

Yes that's mentioned in the article about anthropomorphising objects, and it's not just about being alone but the stuff mentioned here>>84384918

>>84384957
I reckon it's alright.

>>84384966

>cherry picking one example and crying about roasties

Someone should lock you away

GODDOMMOT FRONK

>>84384777
I've been NEET for five years and the only difference is that I hate jews now.

>>84385020
>cherry picking
>responding to examples
someone should lobotomise you for being retarded

That movie was absolute kino. Easily the best Smith performance.

Yeah it fucks you up

I've been an agoraphobic shut-in for about 7 years now and I'm super fucking weird. My cognition has declined as well, which makes it seem bleak I'll ever recover

I was already fucked up after about a year though. I noticed that around other people I'd become very quiet and distant and that I didn't have a lot of initiative in conversation, other people had to lead it and keep it going.

You forget social conventions as well, you forget how people expect you to act and all the social bullshit you've been conditioned with growing up to learn how to fit in. I wish I could think of an example but my memory's pretty bad now.

You lose all naturalness in conversation too and everything feels very stilted and forced. I was always kind of like that but being isolated made it worse.

>>84385089

If that's all you got out of that article I feel sorry for you, memes have rotted what passes for your brain

as long as you got electricity , there is a lifetime of video games to play on single player

>>84385150
You lose interest

During the brief periods of time I've been employed video games were so much more fun than they are when you have all the time in the world

There's no fulfillment in something when it's all you do. It's like overeating, or eating the same food over and over, it stops tasting good.

>>84385090
It was ok, by far one of his best movies, however they fucked the ending up completely.

They even had an alternate ending ready to go, but for some reason they decided to pander to the lowest common denominators and go for the shittiest possible ending.

>>84383882
at least the first movie got it...

The story is about the devolution and destruction of humanity into shit and "raging against the dying of the light" as the last human against the hordes of subhuman communists have finally gotten what they wanted and submerged the world in darkness and now look on a civilized man as a savage.

>>84383882
Just don't touch his bacon, he was saving it.

>>84385209
then you jerk of to the life time amount of porn and if that gets bored , hit the fucking gym get in shape and get into scavanging adventures

its almost as if i was meant to live life in a post apocalyptic solitude

>>84385090
It was utter shit you fucking mongoloid.

>>84385315
Give me 3 reasons why little bitch.

>>84385309
is that how it's meant to happen because it's been 7 years and i'm showing no signs of recovering

i woke up next to a pool of mine own vomit today after drinking for two days straight and it's been over 12 hours and i still haven't cleaned it up

i can't remember when the last time i showered was

on the rare times i've poked my head out the door i've had people stare at me or treat me like a fucking retard or laugh at me because it's been so long my appearance has degraded completely

i don't know why i'm telling you this i doubt you managed to sink this low or keep it up this long

>>84384777
No if you're an introvert and enjoy being alone

>>84385536
I fucking hate people, they make me miserable and it still fucked me up

>>84385455
dude were not in post apocalypse yet. snap out of it , you might have some chemical imbalance in the brain and might need some pills, but once you get them youll see the world in a much clearer way , start slow, shower , haircut , personal grooming

>>84384777

No it all depends on your personal tolerance for solitude and how introverted or extraverted you are, extreme introverts can tolerate solitude very well - like this guy who lived on his own in the Maine wilderness for 27 years just reading books and being alone with himself and living the life (but not the life society demands he live so they found him eventually and now he's back in "society" and its a living hell for him".

And that was a small hidden tent in the woods, now imagine instead an entire city to yourself it would be awesome, better without the crazy vampire creatures too.

>>84383882
1. Where did he get all the guns/explosives?

2. Why did he stay in NYC?

>>84384939
This. 4chan isn't healthy social interaction by any stretch but it's still a form of it.

>>84385020
roastie detected

>>84387913
Pretty interesting read. The guy could've at least learned some basic hunting/fishing/foraging skills though. Instead he basically just lived like a NEET but in the forest.

>>84385046
>>84385046
kek, fucking this

>>84389461
Yeah, it wasn't planned in the best way, you'd think he would read up on survival books and learn those skills with how much he read there

This desu

Being all alone in my city is a fantasy I had since I think middle school.

Not alone forever but just long stretches of time just to do whatever, and not in a "survival" situation either with post apocalypse or zombies or shit just with everything magically working like normal but no other people around. Its fun to think about the shit you could do and get away with without anyone else there and without rules of society to stop you, like rollerblading on the highways, exploring tunnels and infrastructure, destruction and creation.

>>84389525
Still, surviving Maine winters for 27 years is pretty fucking impressive.

Being NEET =/= no human contact, you're contacting humans right now.

I don't know why people on here think they're living a life of extreme isolation when they shitpost on 4chan all day. It's why half of us come here.

>>84385090
The one with his kid was pretty good too.

>>84385455
shower daily. Get off the booze. Small steps like the other guy said. Get a 24 hour gym pass and go in the middle of the night if you have social anxiety.

If the gym is too much go walk 2 miles a night and increase it by a mile every week. You don't even have to run or jog, just walk.

I did ten years in the military and when I got out I divorced, didn't have to work, and took up drinking/ thinking about suicide 24/7. I've been sober three years and started small just walking, making sure I showered daily, and quit boozing.

I read somewhere that drinking today is taking the happiness out of tomorrow.

Good luck man.

>>84384936
I liked the other short stories better honestly.
The one about the cute teen witches utterly slaughtering an approaching army gave me the biggest fear boner of my young teen life.

>>84388114
1 not a lot of competition trying to loot the guns store or private collections.
2 it was his city and he was responsible for containing the infection there. Even though it was out of his control he felt like he failed.
