discussion Why don't you like to socialize?

[ab2709]

I am shy and introverted in real life, but have to interact with peers regardless of how i feel about it.
I come here to get me some alone time

Socializing is kinda draining for me. I don't have a whole lot in common with the people around me, and while it's easier to find kindred souls online, socializing through a screen feels even more difficult.

Where to start....

I guess I just don't like the process of meeting new people, although once there's trust everything gets better.

I do like to socialize, in person or on voice/video chat with my friends. I sometimes have something to add to threads and I will but don't love to post otherwise, unless forced to temporarily to gain access to something

I don't like conflict and adapting to strangers in public so the encounter is amicable is draining. Also I'm a private person in general.

i dont like people

 

[JamesXyler]

I don't have enough relatable things in common with other people for me to socialize.

 

[DisguisedLizard]

I'm too bad at it and social anxiety is a bitch

Not that I feel like I have much to share anyway, but I like thinking I know the answers to all life's questions,
and am secretly waiting for the right moment to enlighten someone with that one piece of information that changes everything for them.
However, I'm probably just another idiot, talking bullshit on the internet, and actually has no fucking clue what I'm saying, or why.

Wow. That was very self aware. I came to this thread to crack a joke but now I'm just reflecting on my own thoughts and decisions.

It's not like i don't like to socialize, it's more like people seems to LOVE to do it, 24/7...

[Terranorm10]

I used to have more. And be more social. Ever since the pandemic, something broke in me and it has been hard to connect with others since

 

[Shimotsuma]

I make a good effort to socialize, specially now that I have a business, but I do prefer just to stay my little cave that some call bedroom lol
as for socializing here, it's a porn forum, I just want the extra degenerate stuff back!

 

[borregad]

IRL i just find it kind of exhausting mainly

 

[UnusualGhost]

For me, I am EXTREMELY introverted. I as eventually, through interacting with others online able to reach the point I was somewhat capable of small talk, but still hate it and it is very uncomfortable.

Part of it is that I had to tech myself to understand most points of "normal" interaction (borderline autistic), but honestly I think that is one of the lesser contributions to my dislike of socializing. When I find a community online I fit with/that deals with topics I am interested in, I open up somewhat, but it is still fairly rare for me to do more than lurk.

Takes away from playing time. Any time I spend grinding has to be taken from some place else. Some days, I don't mind; others, I resent it.

 

[Pen15Dan]

Everyone has different levels of social batteries where you can only stand being around other people/need to be around people for so long. I think I only really have like 2-3 people in the world I could call a true friend but anyone else in my social circles are just people who I don't share enough common interests with to bring in closer.
There is also the fact that those few people who are my friends understand I can go for weeks or months without needing to reach out to them but if I was to call/text them it would be like nothing has ever changed.
