Is there an actual point you're trying to make you misogynistic shitbag?

>>377298140
I actually sort of agree with this, but I don't think it leads to "higher quality" or "better" friends. Life is a giant clusterfuck, and people are one of the fuckiest things in existence. There's no formula or procedure to getting good friends. Being picky actually reduces your chances of finding that "diamond in the rough," so to speak.

I'm aware of this and yet I still refuse to socialize because it's too hard/painful for me to sift through all the bullshit. I'd like to think that most people also possess that awareness on some level, but all this "obsessive pickiness" seems to be spreading at an alarming rate, to the point where even ignorant normies are exhibiting the behavior, completely unwittingly. It's unnerving.

>>377298784

>>377298140

I don't have the fucking time and energy to make new friends, you moron. I have two friends who I see every other week and that's enough for me. I'm not antisocial because of self-perceived "high-standards". I'm antisocial because I get enough fucking socialization already and I don't need more.

Stop fucking inserting yourself into a subculture just because you need to feel unique and special. Hardcore gamers don't have many friends because they spend a lot of time playing video games.

I'm the crazy English teacher who all the students love because they don't know they're learning anything. I look at gaming as a means of uniting generations and people as well as a tool for teaching and soothing. I often boast that every major success in my life is the result of my gaming addiction. It is my hope that in future the term 'Gamer' will not be derogatory outside the walls of our community.

Of course we're not anti-social. I'm on a game website right now. Surrounded by friends. Right fellas?

i mean, he's not wrong. before you'd develop social skills through having to surround yourself with people whose interest may not entirely align with your own. now you don't have to anymore, and can easily find others that share your interests.

i personally have no problem in socializing with people in meat space that are into the same autistic shit that i am, but i do find it difficult to carry a conversation with someone who doesn't.

i wouldn't call it a "higher standard" though, because that implies some kind of superiority, when it's not, it's just different personalities, interests, etc.

this is called being a "normal person"

that's right, you heard it here

you are a normal person

most people are just like you

you know who aren't normal?

the fucking insane smiling sociopaths who can get along with anyone and always have fun and can't fucking live without human attention

The fact that she doesn't know the difference between asocial and antisocial while being a teacher is frightening. It's equally frightening that she calls it "higher standards" than saying "people who share my interest" literally coming off as ignorant and self-righteous all in one article.

Male or Female, equality in discourtesy. Dope shit.

Because it's usually happening with people you work like 8-10 hours a day with, and who you need to build rapport with to keep your job.

Unless you live in an area with a less shitty job market, I guess. Anyway, interview skills and general "surviving prohibition" definitely come under the same skill bracket.

>>377301367

Theres nothing I hate discussing or listening to more to than politics. Its also polarizing as fuck.

The easiest topic to discuss with random people is work, good chance they are just as ready and willing to complain about it just like you.
Which is ironically why I could never make friends at work.

>>377301816
Seriously the argument is as easy as this.

>We mandate that people with penises use the penis bathroom and people with vaginas use the vagina bathroom because each bathroom is specifically equipped to handle the type of genitalia for which it is designated. This also allows us to control traffic areas and prevent congestion.
>We cannot cater to personal preference on this matter, as it is a policy issue, and changing the policy would open up too many difficult bureaucratic questions that would, in the end, lose the establishment money and decrease efficiency. In addition, people may start self-judging as "exceptions" without going through proper bureaucratic procedures, because they have seen other people who are exceptions and are not fully informed on the reasons for why they are exceptions. For these reasons, we do not accept exceptions to the general rule. We have chosen this plan of attack because we find that it is a simple, cheap, and elegant solution to a complicated problem.

You didn't used to get these sorts of problems. People said, "sorry, this is the way it is and we're not changing that", and that was the end of it.

Thats a lot of general shit where you'll only find overlap if you are a normalfag.
I don't watch the TV shows everyone watches, same for movies, I don't follow the news or events happening in my town, I don't know any jokes and I certainly don't make them up. Whats going on my life is either very personal or is about gaming/tech/books which they are not interested in, politics is a terrible topic to bring up at the workplace, and I also avoid even knowing anything about them except for the week before I have to vote.

There'll be a lot of overlaps in this between two normalfags, not between me and a normalfag.
I'll suggest again, you are a normalfag, which is why you don't really see the line between "us and them".

What other reaction are you expecting?
What you are saying is such a broad and stupid generalization based on most likely yourself - hopefully your past self, that anything else would be retarded.
I'm hoping its your past self because it would explain this need to feel superior to others of "this" type.

>>377304563
>you don't really see the line between "us and them".

Because there isn't one.
I jerk it a variety of hentai genre, collect figs, buy games with cute anime girls. All I really do is work and play video games.
Yet I'm just like everyone else.

Not all conversations have to be about common interests.
You could hear each other's differences in things you like and learn about someone else.

You'd be surprised all the interesting shit you would learn about others if you took the time to talk and listen.

>>377304590

I've listened to that shit for over 2 years anon.
About what foods they like, about homeopathy, about how hard it is to raise kids, about how good that terrible marvel movie was, about that shitty show everyone watches and all that, about whats the best battery for your vape and on and on.
These don't make for a conversation - when they finished telling me their shit I have nothing to add to it, I can give them my honest disparaging opinion, which is great if I want them to dislike me, or say close to nothing, I'm certainly not going to feign an interest in something I'm not interested in to keep a conversation going.

It's actually quite funny you say this because I legit do.
One of my co-workers is a 44 yr old woman who i talk to quite often and she knows I'm into anime girls and games. I've had my Switch and Vita at work before.
She tells me the strange shit she does/what goes on in her life.

It's strange that I can read these both, and agree with both. Only thing is when you spend most of your life in the hood, and the another chunk of it playing video games, and watching anime you can actually vibe with a couple different types of people. It really depends on the work place and the type of people. Call centers have really mixed bags so I feel like it's easier to find common ground there.

>>377305601
Not the only example.
If you actually open up to people you'd find plenty of positive social interaction.

The only people who aren't "normal" that have trouble socializing are the ones who are poorly developed socially or have mental issues.
That's quite different than just being "weird".

Not about to believe that everyone who here who spends hours a day talking to people they argue with and shitpost eachother to death are too mentally deficient to carry on a conversation.
Just jaded, angry, etc. Sure there's plenty of anti-social people here who only desire to speak about their interests

>>377305742

Well call centers are not really the "serious work" settings, they have people filtering in and out in huge amounts and its an entry level position so anyone can get in, you are bound to run into people you have an overlap with.

But the point was that WITHOUT and overlap he says you can still keep a conversation going at length.

>>377305868

You are steering way too far from the point.
If you open up and look really deep for overlap you'll find it - is what you are saying. Which just proves my point, that you need overlap.

>>377305969
>If you open up and look really deep for overlap you'll find it - is what you are saying.

I'm saying open up at all and you'll find that all people have things they can talk about amicably.

>>377306034

Been there, done that, no conversation will go on at length from it. I'm no 'powerlevel suppressing' tard, everyone at work know what kind of person I am and what I'm into as far as hobbies go.
That'll hardly let you talk for hours to someone without an overlap of interests - unless one of you pretends to be interested in something they are not.

>>377306034
That's not even remotely true but it's cute that you believe it and it probably makes you sleep better at night.

It makes perfect sense anon, don't worry about it.
Small talk is literally trying to talk to about nothing, while also trying to not be offensive about it.
Complaining about a specific thing with a terrible lot of flaws and without the slightest problem with offending the people who like that thing is very easy in comparison.

>>377298140
I find the "We have high social standards" thing bullshit. They just can't deal with the views of other people so they lock themselves away from it. I have a friend who does the same thing so I understand it from experience.

On the other hand, I have met up with a lot of my "online friends" in real life. We still game together and when we get chance, we get together. None of them have particular strange social standards and each of them is very different as to what they like and dislike.

Whoever wrote that headline or whoever that is a quote of IS antisocial.

Pretty sure you are wrong, people want to hang out with ugly people because it most certainly makes themselves look better, this is a default tactic with women.
I consider myself ugly and a lot of people wanted to hang out with me regardless, and my friends still do.

People don't want to hang out with anti-social cynical fuckwads because they are insufferable unless they can keep a lid on it.

This is just nature. Having standards is tribualism.

People have standards for their food, home, mate, who they're attracted to, fashion, political stance, race, video games, music, television, hell even among family members there are standards: I hang out with my normal class and rich family members, but I don't ever hang out with the poorfag members of my family or IQs hovering over 70, etc. So who you interact with is no different. I wouldn't want to ever hang out and interact with a libcuck and a libcuck will never interact with alpha republican/conservative people.
