Things I Hate

[The Ween]

I don't actually think they're doing it on purpose, it's just Murphy's law in action.

Sucks being the last singleton though. When everyone else is coupled off they have no impetus to go out or to stay out when they do. It's shaping up to be a quiet summer.

Right that's the way it seems with me. And it doesn't always happen, it's just staying out and having fun for an evening is getting more rare these days.

And I understand the being single part too. What I hate is having a girls night out and some bring their husbands. Really?

honestly, i like hanging out on my own, its much easier that way. you dont have to do things you dont want to do or listen to people you dont care to hear. im kind of selfish like that, i love doing my own thing and my friends dont understand it.

I'm married and I do that. My wife goes out with her friends and I get to stay home like I want.

As I've gotten older, I find I don't have the patience for conversational niceties with people I don't care about. It's better for all involved if I don't have to play a part in forced socialization.

The internet is ruining social constructs and our ability to tolerate stupidity.

Seconded. I just heard a story today about how someone had to go to an all day 15 hour wedding. I told everyone I would have just left and they were appalled.

I always appreciated having 1-2 close friends who are also immersed in nerd culture. I'm pretty selective with people I socialize with. If I think someone is going to call/text me regularly, asking to do stuff, I totally avoid them. It would just be nice to have a few friends that I could have a meal with, watch a movie, or just hang with, no commitments necessary. I think that's why I frequent this board. It's just enough detachment but I get to interact on my own terms with little to no pressure lol

I've always been a loner and antisocial. Other people let you down. Just rely on ones self.

Have a kid and Musashi's advice no longer applies.

If it does than you suck as a parent.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Friends and children are two different things.

I'm just going by his own statement that "There is nothing outside of yourself"

Nothing is nothing, not even family and kids.

He doesn't even try to exempt children lol

My kid has absolutely made me better, stronger and richer and I don't mean financially richer either.

If anything he's made me more financially broke lol

 

[Mr. Green]

He already have a wife....he is already going down.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Well he spoke more from a Samurai's perspective. He did have three children of his own.

 

[jye4ever]

Meh, he probably ate them during the winter.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I didn't expect you to get so triggered over it

 

[jye4ever]

I'm relaxing drinking a sangria lol

I think what he meant was is to not expect outsiders to get or do those things for you. So many people do that.

This was the context of my post 100%.

There's an easy joke here that I'm too classy to make

Well, as humans, we're social creatures. Some of us require less socializing, others require more of it. But, I think how you develop in your need for social interactions, depends a lot with your upbringing (whether you had friends to play with), your circumstances at a given time, and other external factors that come into play. You also can't rule out mental illnesses such as depression and bipolar disorder which can lead a person into isolation.

Yeah, there are a lot of confident loners who don't give a s*** about anything, or anyone. But, it's usually the case that they didn't willfully choose isolation, either. The cool, silent people always have interesting stories to tell, about how someone broke them or let them down, and they decided to become stronger and go their own way.
