I always picture /jp/ as a shut-in who can go for days without talking, sleeps during the day and stares into the glow of their computer screen all night. Also very limited human activity to the point of using self-checkout lanes for food.

How accurate am I?

>> No.8419371

Pretty accurate. Now leave.

There's no self-checkout lanes here. I'd use them if there were.

>> No.8419387

I don't use checkout lanes because I never go to the store.

>> No.8419386

Almost perfect. /jp/ is also a pouty, ill-mannered little girl with ankle-length hair that she never cuts because that would involve going outside.

These always break on me because the bagging system is the most stupid thing ever. Then I have to get staff approval to unlock them, and it makes for more conversation than just going through the regular checkouts.

I like to keep a regular sleep schedule, being awake at night keeps me paranoid.

I spend more time looking at my PSP screen lately than my computer screen. I only use self checkout because I hate how that bitch at walmart hands the money to you.

I have a job that relies on me being social and charismatic. At the same time I reject all invitations to do anything with my co-workers outside of work as I can't stand being around them, or other people in general.
I wish we had self-checkout here.

my job is full-time in the mornings but at least the position is far more inventory dependent than customer service. I put on a good act. Everyone sees me as normal and and least talkative some of the times. But like the above poster I do reject any invitations. I get home as soon as possible so I can become a loli maiden agian.

Going out at night is wonderful, but being inside the apartment is sometimes uncomfortably scary. I usually lock every door and keep the lights on. It wouldn't be nice to let the flesh-eating shamblers get me by surprise.

>> No.8419472

>>8419419
Yeah I've never really have had problems with being social. I can always put on a smile, be at ease in most conversations.

But I kind of feel like I just fake it since I hate spending time with other people. Rather just go back home instead being bored at a bar or a restaurant.

I'm fine with being social too: I can smile and feign interest and being normal pretty well.
The downside is that I really hate it in real life, but I don't give people that impression. I can't even say I'm socially anxious/phobic because I'm good at it, though that's how I really feel.

I buy everything at the same store always, and the clerk is an old bitter man who never says anything thats not strictly necessary to complete the purchase (not even welcome or thanks), so I just buy my stuff without uttering a word

I also like taking night walks since crime around here is unheard of so I dont have to worry about getting robbed or such

Holy shit! I think I belong here...

I don't hate other people, I just feel weird I suppouse being with people. I don't know how to relate to most people my age, and supprisingly get on better with older people (probably because they are less shallow and can hold decent conversations, that and I feel intimidated by people my own age) Perhaps I should accept my NEET nature, and get on with my life.

Pretty much this. Self checkout is more hassle than it's worth.

I also prefer to keep a regular sleep schedule. Hardly anyone speaks English if you play an MMO at night.

Describes me perfectly, except I got kicked out of the house and had to get a job.

I still don't understand how people have casual conversations so easily. The other day I got stuck with a guy who talked nonstop for hours and I just nodded my head and grunted a couple times. Never once did I think of anything I wanted to say to him.

Self-checkout lanes actually come with more interaction.

Dont say that. The failures will start getting self conscious, they are already self conscious in their reality. People come to /jp/ to relax and escape from reality. When men like you and me go around talking about our large cocks, our jobs, and all the figures we have "hot glued" the autism bucks crowd start feeling the walls closing in on them. Lets just pretend we are pathetic losers. ok?

Actually, no. I'm just like a normal young man, except I don't do anything. I go to bed at midnight, and wake up at 10.30. The time I'm awake I just 'read', or consume japanese media. It's not like I get a sense of enjoyment out of anything, but keeping my mind occupied helps passing time.
Whenever I have to talk to people, I can bullshit my way quite easily. It's like an instinct. Though I always wonder if other young people ever notice something's wrong with me; while I don't have any problems appearing as 'normal', it's not like they ever get anything out of me. I just keep to context jokes.
