Anyone /jp/sies here have a job? How do you deal with normalfags or people in general? Having worked consistently since high school (now 22) I feel I've had to adapt. Like, I have a "normalfag" mask and exterior I could use around people. It's really exhausting, and it makes me feel like a sociopath, being someone "different" or whatever, but it's kept me employed since I don't qualify for autism bucks

I had a work for two months, months ago, a friend owned the place, it was a cyber cafe.
I'm not there anymore as I really can't talk everyday, it made me physically and mentally tired, stressed and depressed and couldn't do shit besides working. I almost tried to hero again at some day off I had nothing to do.
Speaking of which, I'm going to bed because nothing to do tomorrow, just sleepy.

I worked in a smoothie shop my moms friend owned. Like you, I would put on a different persona at work.

Normalfags for the most part that I work with aren't so bad. I hired alot of them, so I filtered out people immediately who I thought would annoy me. I work in college radio, so it's not like some Fortune 500 company. But I'm the main boss in charge, so everyone always calls for with their issues about the studio, etc. I usually hole myself upstairs in my office with my /jp/sie friend and we watch anime in the afternoon, which calms me down and centers me.

The thing with normalfags is that I wouldn't ever want to do the things they do like going to parties, or have relationships. I can't relate to anyone of them

Same here OP, I just never had the "normalfag" mask. I could never fake a casual conversation without stuttering or making everything awkward around others. Everyone always thought I was weird or retarded, so I never talked and was luckily ignored. Then I needed a minimum wage job to survive which I only managed to get because of my fluency in a different language. I don't need to socialize much, but there will be a time where I will have to soon, and I have no idea how.

>> No.9537709

Dealing with people is easy, getting close to them is difficult. Small talk is easy, even silence is fine as long as you don't overthink it.

The real tip to dealing with social interaction with normals is to be comfortable with it. This only really comes with practice. I am fine most of the time but sometimes I'll do something that throws me off for months at a time, and I have to get used to it all over again. Nothing big happens, I'm just a wreck. Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure I'm right. Get comfortable with it and stay that way for as long as possible.

But small talk is difficult. In all of the cases where I didn't think about it and told myself I was doing fine, I later found out that everyone involved found me awkward, creepy, or dislikable in some way.

So I have to overanalyze it, so that way I can be at least tolerable to the people who I work with. I'd love to just do nothing and get the bux, but I don't think that's an option unless I move into section 8 housing, since in my parent's house it's their rules, and if i'm there I won't be charged any rent but I have to work.

And I'd rather not go there, so continue to work it is....

Silence is indeed fine but smalltalk is absolutely impossible. The problem is that extroverted people think that something's wrong if nothing is said.

Even before i did that i always found it most fun to share what i love with people who also love it. Be honest with yourself - isnt a large part of the reason you're here to talk to and share collections / stories with people with similar interests?

Yeah, we call them falseNEETs. Either you're an admitted falseNEET (which is much worse than a normalfag) or you're pumping your post full of irony by throwing around "truNEET" so often. Either the case, get out, subhuman.

The post you're quoting is incomplete, and a bit mangled.

Christ, at least have the courtesy to utilize the sage feature when shitposting, instead of bumping this blogging thread.

There are various reasons why you would sage when making a shitty post. I don't see anything particularly memetic about it.

Hey, shut up. I had perfect friends but I just dropped them. I wasn't interested. Yes, we had extremely similar interests and passionate discussions but I just couldn't keep it up.
>Even before i did that i always found it most fun to share what i love with people who also love it.
Well I didn't. Nice projecting.

You see? This is why threads like these don't work. Healthy people like you ALWAYS have to start this coffee table wankery. This thread actually looked pretty good and civilized before your post.
