Being social

online world is certainly important after all... that's the world where you get to talk to hot women but not have sex with them!

it's like real life, except the hot women can pretend to be your friend here because no one's that picky on the internet.

 

lolz my brother always bitches about that, almost verbatim

But yeah, I'm pretty good socially, but sometimes when I'm high I kinda keep to myself more.

I have huge keggers at my apartment and I enjoy talking to new people at parties or school or whatever

 

Honestly, if this place was a bar, and everyone was as genuine in person as they are on the forums, I might be a lot more open to the idea of a social life. I truly like the people here. I can't say that for a whole lot of people in my real life.

 

I'm a loner, but less than I used to be. I actually value companionship more than ever probably since I've spent so much time alone.

 

im almost 16, and im afraid :O
haha, being a teenager scares me. we live in a world where the reputation of american teenagers has been destroyed.

 

Well, if you lot keep gushing over the likes of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, you've only got yourselves to blame


Edit PS: and that flippin Twilight movie, geez zuz

 

No worries, you only have to do it for a few more years.

 

22 more years if he gets into acting.

 

being social is overrated and is somewhat harmful to one's individuality

 

You know that guy in every restaurant who's sitting alone and reading a book? That's me.

 

how did you get into every restaurant?

 

Since there's only one of me...I don't have to wait for that five top to open up.

 

Dude same! I was just thinking this morning, there is real life, and then there is HFs ^^

I have never been good socially. I was always very quiet, I never had anything to say, and I could never think of anything to say when I needed to engage in conversation. I remember I was with people I didn't have anything in common with, and still to this day if I am with people I have nothing in common with I say silent, because I have nothing to say. When it is awkward for me like that, I have learnt not to try to make a joke to make it less awkward for myself, because it is never funny and I just make a fool out of myself, which makes me recline back into my "I'm invisible" state of mind, where it feels like no body hears me or sees me.

I remember once in school, at the end of the day I was with a good friend (who I could speak to), but I didn't say a work all day, and I just blerted out "god I need to say something". I think that moment I realised I needed to develop my speech I think I was a late speaker anyway, I went to speech therapy a couple of times when I was younger.

The later years of school I hung around with 3 or 4 awesome people, had exactly the same interests and sense of houmour as me, and we would talk at lunch about anything- mostly philosophy or religon, or where we came from (one of the guys though we came from mars and forgot about it). Lol, one of the girls in that group wasone of my closet friends, but my currnt bf used to fancy her back then, and she was in his dream last night so gggrrrr lol.

Anyway, in college I met some awesome people, who have really changed my life. Yea I am still quiet, but with them I can be myself, and make silly jokes, and they will find them funny Uni is teaching me that my (uni) friends are only around the corner, and I can go see them anytime. I never was a 'go to someone's house for a sleepover' or a 'one on one drinking session' kinda person, but now I have people at uni who are in the same boat as me, as in they will stay in their rooms at uni doing nothing, I can go and see them and it will be better for the both of us ^^

Wow that was long.... I hope someone can relate to my babble xD

 

Everyone is interesting.

That's because you were expecting them to be interesting, and not boring.

I like socializing in real life. I don't consider these forums a social thing.. sure, you're interacting with other people, but socializing is so much more than exchanging words.

 

I like to socialize. But I like honest socializing. A lot of people I meet are just trying to be something else.. It makes me feel uncomfortable.

There's nothing better than having a long ass conversation with a total stranger, who you will probably never meet again, on the train. Beats staring out the window for almost an hour.
