How important is social life to you?

Fewer faster close friends means a bong rotation. **** you.
 
FEWER CHAINS MEANS MORE BROKEN.

I have an actual response to this topic, but I don't have time to think it through or write it right now
 
lol, we all should go into a sex strip online but ask her to do stupid stuff instead.

It's because I have way better things to do while drunk than talk to a bunch of losers on the internet, duh.

That is, I was talking to two specific losers on the internet. (LFD! CMD!)



I'm only easy for girls and Oliver (who might as well be a girl)

Not important at all. Don't have a social life, haven't had one since i was about 15 years old. Have instead devoted my time to computer games and pornography.

I get enough social interaction at work. That's enough for me. I generally hate being around people in these social situations. And when i do make the effort to be in a social situation, i talk to people for about 1 minute, then they walk away. And i stand there alone George McFly style and think "what the ƒuck is the point?". Then i vanish, walk away, go home, move away from them.

But on the other hand when you think about a world where i'm the only person left, it would be pointless.

So i prefer to imagine a world full of japanese women and i'm the only man. And i can climb into a biomechanical space suit and fly to mars to escape these women when i tire of it, then when i've recovered i enter earths atmosphere again and recommence the sexual insanity.
 
My social life if terrible at the moment... my guild mates are all hanging around in Northrend while I'm lvl 35 and still trying to find a group for the Deadmines! ...they don't even say hi to me any more...
 
A social life is very important. It is required to be psychologically healthy.
 
I can't see how anyone can not be interested in having a social life, unless they're autistic. I can see how people avoid social situations because they lack confidence, but that's different.

I like having nights to myself occassionally, but I really hate having dead time at the weekend. Ideally I would have something to do or somewhere to go right the way through from Friday night to Sunday night. Equally I hate times when I want to go out but everyone is busy/out of town/etc. And there's nothing worse than a Friday or Saturday night alone.

I often think I should live somewhere with a more sociable culture, like Scotland, Australia or Spain. I'm not quite the social butterfly enough to overcome the insular nature of the English to get to the social life I need.
 
The fact I'm seeing friends after school and over the weekend is the only thing getting me through school monday-friday.
 
If I had the money I'd go out every night and become an alcoholic...


A man can dream.
 
My social life... not a party animal, but I have my fun.

P.S. Roommate is win :D

I've been a borderline alcoholic the whole summer, and I can tell you, it's not something to dream about.

Wut I am 19.

On topic: I cannot describe how much I miss uni. Now I'm at home, I only see my friends thur fri and sat nights. Now it's Tuesday night and I'm ****ing dying, so bored of sitting inside all day, it makes me want to die/cry.

Hopefully, I'll find some money somehow and be able to join the boys tomorrow night for the England game.

But when I get to uni - jesus, just seeing friends every night is fantastic, even if I stay in some nights.
 
It's not very important to me, I only have two friends IRL that I meet semi-regularly(maybe twice a month), but then again, I have a form of autism, and part of the diagnostic in my case is just the fact that I don't have the same social drives as others.

When I was younger(before the diagnosis) I had a very hard time with this, I forced myself to adapt after other people to fit in and make lots of friends, even though I really didn't enjoy it nor want it.

I only did it because it was the accepted social standard, now in recent times since my diagnosis and learning more about myself and those with similar diagnosises, I've learnt to be able to accept and deal with the fact I don't have the same social needs that normal people do.

At the same time, I do like people, but I just don't have the energy to go out regularly etc, not to mention the fact I am a completely clean person, no drugs(marijuana), no toxins(alcohol) etc.

Which makes me, in most people of equal age's eyes, a very dull person.
 
It's important to me, but I highly value my introversion, sometimes to the point where I'll defend it against people like my mother who believe introvert = loner (not true at all). I simply love focusing my energy into being quiet and taking in the world around me, whether that is done by online communication, listening to music, watching a movie, playing a game, reading a book or writing. But enough about defending my introvert self. :p

I grew up with a very tight group of friends in high school, and I still hang out with them from time to time. Since college started, I've made some good friends here and there, but not as much as I did in high school. In relation to the way everyone else has been making friends on campus, I feel like a loner.

I love interacting with people, but sometimes I suffer from this inherent shyness that prevents me from even looking at people. I have a feeling that the most common people I have this problem are very similar to me, in that they are also shy and introverted, which makes it seem very silly; we want to talk to each other, but we probably think we both hate each other. There have been so many times when I've wanted to jump out of my bubble, but I feel so powerless sometime. Help me helplife2.net.
 
I am not going to say I don't have any sort of social life, but I just don't find it enjoyable to have a bunch of people I only know while hanging out....I just have issues trusting. So, I'll keep my roommate and my GF. I have some coworkers that we will get together after work, but that gets on my nerve, because it only ensues to drunken bitching about work, which is the last thing I want to talk about.
 
Shit, talking about my problem here seems to have cured me.

I guess I didn't realize how stupid and irrational and unhealthy it was.

No, like I told Raz, it's like jumping in a cold swimming pool. Just jump in. Lingering and procrastinating and spending a lot of time contemplating it isn't going to help at all.

I feel like that all the time. Right now I think the two people I've stopped talking to probably hate me. One of them might actually hate me. I don't know what happened to the other one. The last I heard from him (via IM) was "talk to you later". But then he's the kind of person who says "brb" and then doesn't come back, so maybe "talk to you later" really means "talk to you 2 years from now." It's pretty frustrating actually -- I'd almost rather have someone come out and say "I'm never gonna talk to you again, bye."
 
Not very important, I've got more important matters at hand then making sure I keep in contact with my friends everyday.

Nearly perfectly describes the way I am, tbh. Sometimes I'll come home from work/school and be thinking of why I couldn't have talked with people just with a little bit more of trust, when I am able to fluently talk to myself and make entire monologues on my own.

This +a billion.

Man, I always do that.. I think of social situations and just make entire conversations and play them out in my head. It can be anything from talking to a friend, or asking a chick out (always ends perfectly in my head :(). I do this mostly at work because I can do my job without thinking about it, so I think about this instead lol.
 
I'm pretty sure this "shyness" deal that Helplife2.net is so sure it suffers from is pretty common amongst "normal" people.

I mean, ****, how normal is it to go up to peeps you don't know and just fire up a convo about anything? It's fun to do a lot of the times, and it's something you deff have a desire to do, but seriously, tell me how "normal" it is to just randomly interact with complete strangers.

You deff have to be able to work around that inevitable awkwardness if you're gonna do something like that, because you sure as **** can't count on the other person to do it. And that's not always all that easy, depending on how completely different you two do or don't turn out to be.

So really, I wouldn't hold something like that against myself. I know i'm guilty of it, all the time actually, so it's kind of hypocritical to say that, but srsly, don't think it makes you a weirdo.

I like to think i'm getting better at it though. Being out here in this city all alone has deff fired up my desire to interact with people. I've been finding myself talking to total strangers about totally random topics lately, and it's always a lot of fun to hear whatpeople generaly just like you and me have to say about stuff. Just today I had a conversation about traveling the world with some woman I just met on the street, and it was interesting to hear where she'd been, and where she wants to go. I was never like that at home, i'd always just hang with my friends, and keep to my comfort zone.

I'm constantly having conversations within my head.
 
I think it's important to play out conversations in your head because then you aren't caught off guard very often.

On a forum, we can take as much time as we need to reply, but in a conversation, you only have moments before the conversation goes a different direction or ends all together.

However, I don't think it's healthy to spend to much time in your head. I don't know, it just makes you crazy.

I used to spend too much time thinking about a girl and how to say the best things at the best times and all that, and you know what? It didn't help in the end, because to do this, I ended up thinking about her all the time. Which made me like her more. It was like I was spending time with her when she wasn't even there. She probably wasn't spending nearly this much time thinking about me.

This is how guys end up 'crazy' about a girl. And being crazy about a girl pushes them away because the chase is very important. Once the balance tips and you care more, the relationship is as good as finished. It may linger on, but they will mistreat you. They 'wear the pants.' They may even feel bad for it, but they won't be able to help it. You've put them higher, and once you've given them more power, it can be nearly impossible to balance it back.

You might think I'm over analyzing this, but when you've ****ed up as many relationships as I have, you have lots to reflect on.

My advice is--and this might sound funny: if you are in a relationship with someone, never think about them.
