Anonymous Coward User ID: 4725573 United States 05/29/2017 07:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sounds like you need to go on a trip. Read the first paragraph of Herman Melville's Moby Dick: "Call me Ishmael. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70994220 United States 05/29/2017 08:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't wish harm on anyone, I just can't stand being around people in general. For as long as I've been on this planet, I've observed, in every damn person, that all they do is chat shit about just about anyone.... doesn't matter how good or bad you are, people will always find dirt on you. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7174652 As such, I can't stomach getting to know people, esp. work colleagues and my nosey ass neighbours... fuckers play happy families together, but always chat shit about each other in secret. However, I'm getting to the level now where I am developing somewhat of a social phobia and it's getting me down because it's making me so anxious and uncomfortable, but I can't hide my contempt forever. I'll force out a 'hello', but I want to get away from people ASAP and just be on my own or with the few people I know and trust. No doubt, my non-existent conversation and all around avoidance will make people think I'm a weirdo, and they're very likely discussing this with each other. But if people weren't such gossipy, backstabbing, sad, pathetic creatures, I'd be more trusting of them and happily connect. Do you have these issues? If so, how do you deal with them? Yes, OP, I have the exact same issues. I drink heavily and avoid people. |

They put on a fake smile and lie to your face. Fake it till you make it. They hate being around people so they build "self" so you can never be like them. Now you can be a self help teacher, travel the world and buy an island. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74834985 Malaysia 05/29/2017 08:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People actually think getting others to do things for them for free, either through leverage/gossip, faux pity, or implied adoration is a skill to be admired while feeding their egos at the same time. And yes, as soon as they pull what ever trick on you they are using that day, they go to others like them and call you a sucker for more ego driven pleasure. This sets you up for more scams from the peer group at large. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |

Manipulate and take advantage of them. Tell them what they want to hear while stealing their money. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50186205 Very wise words my friend. I'm thinking about doing that and maybe i get few extra dollars from ignorant people. What is the best one can do on the internet in that respect ? |
PBJ11 User ID: 7434158 United States 05/29/2017 09:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why blame yourself for it? Accept who you are and don't be forced to conform to social norms. Venture out occasionally to test the waters, but learn to be secure with who you are. I'm a lot like you. I get forced to be in social situations a lot more often than I would like. Learn relaxation techniques and find a hobby or two. I very rarely feel the need to be out in public, but also I rarely feel bad about that because I don't need to be accepted or entertained by others. PJ |
