Being socially isolated is miserable. The NEET boys who brag about doing nothing all day are always miserable without exception and their only flex is "haha you have to be uncomfortable for 8 hours while I'm not!"

We need human interaction to be healthy. We also need struggle and some discomfort. Happy people have a structured schedule, socialization, and constant "good struggles" that they overcome. By good struggles I mean something that you struggle with and overcome to improve, like going to the gym, getting better at a hobby, etc.

When I go to work I dislike it. I don't like waking up early. My job usually isn't fun, I'd much rather be playing WoW at my house. But I do it every day. Then when I get home I chill and it feels so good. If I just stayed home all day and played wow I'd be so depressed.

bunch of retard normie advice working from home is nice i've done it for like 4 years now
some tips
>morning routine really important
>wake up at a specific time/have coffee and read/go on a morning walk every morning
Following just that makes an insane difference, morning walk in particular you need to get sunlight and go out atleast once a day or you'll get wild.
Other stuff
>Cook/clean during work so you have free time after work
>you can take naps and shit just learn how stuff works and you can keep your slack or w/e online
>Get hobbies/things you can do throughout the day, things you can practice
Things that work well for that are things like learning japanese, reading/manga, learning/practicing an instrument

and make sure you have non-computer stuff to do after work you dont want to just sit at the same desk all day

Wow dude your sooo unique and 4chan dude. You don't need heckin NO ONE!

Most people aren't edgelords like you and require socializing of some sort. And when I say socialize I mean being around other people like your kids, your partner, your friend, whomever. We all need a support system, people to laugh with, to share with. Also people are like mirrors to your own personality. That is, you won't know your smart or funny or anything else about yourself if you don't interact with people. Socialize doesn't mean going to clubs after work, it means having a family and friends you can talk to.

>>57965921
I'm sure you do, but I'm also sure there's a part of you that wants a relationship or to be with friends sometimes. Being totally isolated is mentally exhausting, it's the reason why solitary confinement is now being considered inhumane. We are hardwired for interaction.

it helps to have goals
I have a journal where I write down my weeks goals and award myself points for each one.
if at the end of the month I have 90% of my points or more, I feel like I'm on the right track
Depression comes from inaction so force yourself do to shit as soon as the day starts and you'll be on the right track
my cheat code is getting up at 4:30 in the morning, taking a shit and going straight to the gym. I walk there and listen to a nice book on tape which I look forward to.
I'm back by 7:30am and every 2 days I do a load of laundry.
I immediately have a shower, have a protein shake, and then sit down to do some work.
at noon I have a meal (I premake all my meals on saturday/sunday for the week).
after work I schedule reading time (no screens). I'm finishing "walden" right now, but also some technical texts.
In bed before 10 (no screens), asleep before 10:30. Sometimes I listen to another book on tape to drift off.
saturdays are my cheat day where I sleep in (usually I wake up by 7 since my body is used to 4:30)
I'll order a nice breakfast from a chicken and waffles place and then take a walk to digest it. soemtimes I'll go watch a movie or go for a bike ride.
Sundays is prep for the next week and another gym day but I don't wake up at 4:30 so I usually go to the gym around noon.
This is also a day I use to advance projects I'm trying to get off the ground.
a lot of this sounds like a ton of work but once you get into the swing of it, it's actually harder to not do.

I interact plenty of times with my family and people I work with, people I share a common goal with (that's outside online discussions such as this one, which in my opinion is still a valid interaction)
interacting with your family is normal and there's nothing you have to do, it just happens naturally so you don't have to "socialize"
and I don't think it's a need either just respect or politeness

Pure reddit cope, and I don't use the reddit meme. Genuinely, your post is devoid of all empathy and ability to reason that some people don't function well in the typical social structure, and why they find themselves on this website. I absolutely love being at home and socially isolated. I will never waste 8-12 hours in the workplace or at school every again. I will never have to constantly fake social interaction, hide any of my true feelings about liberalism or how it kills me inside to have to listen to others be so painfully bigoted and wrong about shit like racial issues they project in me by merely existing nearly every day. I will never have to dress for others or listen to their commentary down to the way I walk or be constantly forced to entertain mundane conversation or meet ups. My time is my own to do what I enjoy. Literally anything a normie does is miserable to me.

If you can't interact with someone without sperging out about politics or have a twenty second conversation about the weather I'd treat you like I would any other mentally handicapped person unable to do the job, unless your work was of a high quality which it never is with these types of people even though they think it is in their mind.

This is true, it’s why people were actually killing themselves during lockdowns. But for many people the 8+ hrs in an office plus commute time is way too much. Get some hobbies, go to the gym, volunteer at an animal shelter or something once/week and that’s more than enough for many introverts, even single ones who live alone. Being over socialized is just as bad as under socialized and that threshold is different for everyone. This applies to work as well, some people are very suited for wfh and some can’t do it at all. I don’t hate or disrespect people who need to be in an office setting to work but I sure do hate the ones who disrespect me by saying I have to.

Story to bitch about these people. I was hired in person in 2016 and moved a state away during lockdowns and was given a remote contract. One PM was always extremely salty about remote work, she’d gush about how awesome it felt to send a big deliverable and high five everyone and we’ve lost all that “magic” with wfh. Last winter we had a huge deliverable coming up and she told the team they had to be in the office every day of that week and no one leaves Friday until the last person is finished. For me this would entail
>5 hrs driving up Monday morning (not company paid because it’s not a responsibility in my contract)
>paying for a hotel for 4 nights (not company paid because it’s not a responsibility in my contract)
>driving in and paying for parking every day (not company paid because it’s not a responsibility in my contract)
>setting up and breaking down at a “hotel” desk every day
>deal with the obligatory “wow anon it’s been so long, what are you up to?” Minimum of 2 hrs every time I come down, in addition to all the other bullshit socializing
>distracted all day by people talking, chewing, laughing, the zoomer who takes a 30 min bathroom break every hour and slams the door etc
>twiddle my dick all day Friday because I’d be done Thurs but still have to wait for the last fucking guy to finish around 10pm
>get rewarded with some shitty cold pizza
>can’t even have a beer because I need to drive 5 hrs home
When I told the PM no I was met with the most unprofessional behavior I’ve ever experienced. Name calling, gaslighting, yelling, I thought she might cry at one point? But after a conversation with my (male) boss I never have to work with her again kek

Thanks for reading my blog, I got an email from her today and it reminded me of this bullshit

If you need, of all the things, the social kabuki theater of corporate america to keep you from jumping off a bridge I really don't know what to tell you guys.

I understand not everyone is built to be an introvert, but I can honestly go weeks or maybe even months without any social contact. Society always drags me back in regardless.

I love how extroverts consider anyone quieter than them a literal basket case shut in and then all of a sudden we have to WFH and people are acting like they're in alcatraz. Do a little introspection
