suggests making some awesome RPG by simply dramatizing the mindmap of old/elderly people that they construe from TV

All I gotta say is read the Mary Worth comic strips from a week or two ago to today, she is embarking on a journey to learn what twitter is.

I'm pretty sure I know what it is it's just so unremarkable to me that I assume there is something incredible about it I'm missing because TV makes it sound like the second coming of The Beatles/Christ. I am starting to be like magical internet though I think I mentioned I'm waiting for someone to unearth a youtube/deviantart/etc. account that is just full of this incredible movies/music/art that is so heartrendingly devastatingly bizarre and beautiful and the author is completely unaware of it THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366996/ I'm pretty sure this is the 21st century version of something like noble savage whatever

could somebody direct me to internet forum topic on this (asking real old people what their imagination has made out Twitter Myspace Facebook to be and their perceptions of it are amazing/terrifying/revelatory in some way)

i have self-worth out the ass but no self-confidence to assert it, and i also have a big mental block when i know somebody is being overtly insincere, so i'm just a shut-in asshole with a big handful of close friends. i don't try hard to socialize with people who i know aren't being real, so in a social situation i'll tell a good joke and get good, genuine laughs, and then act weird to get a mind fuck. it doesn't prevent me from enjoying myself except for sometimes, but i'm perfectly content sitting in front of a screen for hours on end. neurotypical people are weird anyway

did you just say you act like you're weird because you hate it when people are fake?

being alone is A+++ because you can finally blow your fucking brains out without having to worry about if it's inconvenient to anybody you are attached to

I'd rather quietly contemplate the philosophical and metaphysical ramifications of just what being "alone" actually means, far more than talking to someone I've just met in a room full of people. The thing is, I'm only truly comfortable in social situations where it is established that everyone around me is okay with the idea of me choosing not to say anything at all for the entire time. I may utilize that choice for an entire night, or discard it entirely at whim, but it has to be entirely certain that nobody would call me out on my discretion as to whether not I have anything to say.

In short, it's not that I don't like being around people. I just don't like talking in general. Asking for idle chat out of me will always be asking too much. I can understand why it's always awkward trying to get that point across, but I'm 100% solid with anyone once they know enough about me to understand that much.

It makes being alone more comfortable and intuitive state for me for sure, but I personally believe that any true loner can become alone in any situation, even when surrounded by other people. If anyone attempts to deny me that much personal freedom, I can't help but automatically think of them as a bit of an asshole for doing it.

Tl:dr

People might encourage you to socialize and mingle, and some might question your judgment, but no true man will force you to cling to others against your will, unless it's a matter of life and death. . . in the end, the choice is yours to make. Anyone who doesn't recognize that is beneath contempt.

Everyone has their time to be by themselves and with others, and different levels of interaction.

As for relationships, I'm starting to understand what they mean when they say you've got to believe in yourself first before you entangle yourself with someone else. Feeling more sure of myself now, I can understand the warning to those who think that a relationship alone can fill the emptiness they feel inside or replace the love they must show themselves.

Everyone has the right to be himself; wise men know how to,when, and whether to navigate the boundary between their rights and those of others when they collide.

Yeah dude I know there are for a fact because I know quite a few I just haven't gotten the fortune of ringing me one. I didn't mean for that post to look like a mad generalization because I hate that shit myself.

I'm just bitter as fuck because I've fallen into one vagina rigged beartrap after another. Just a good thing I'm light footed and dance through them for' they can take my fucking legs.

act, no, i am a weirdo creep fucker, no acting necessary. i can't help it much of the time because of the way my parents raised me, but that's a whole other bucket o laffs. it's always necessary to lie sometimes, but when it's painfully obvious (and simply easier to tell the truth), i can't help but express my elitist, dick distaste

Quote from: ragnar

also I'm thinking of online dating just to put up the most pisstaking profile of all time and will try to dismantle the entire dating system from the inside/at least alienate everyone I wouldn't like anyway

y'know, i did exactly this and i recommend it

i dont get it, if you're so self-aware then why don't you just consciously make an effort to change your behavior? If you can identify yourself as a weirdo creeper, think of ways to act that would change that.
