Don't talk to a person that looks like the strawman girl on the left.

Stoner

>>18165330
Watch vtubers, they're paid to like you.

>>18165330
The girl on the left has higher bodycount than the number of books she's read

>>18165392
Better yet, become a vtuber yourself.

>>18165392
MEW?

>you are boring
>so are you
doesn't get much simpler than that, friends

>>18165330
How do you actually not be boring. Like I get why people don't want to be around me because of I had to interact with a copy of myself I know how awful it would be. It seems like once you hit no social life for any significant period of time it's over because your skills just get worse and worse and your life is completely uninteresting to other people because you have no stories to tell ect

I'm boring because I don't open up to anyone unless I've known them for a long time and trust them, which appens for pretty much nobody outside of my immediate family

>>18165484
i dont trust anyone

>>18165484
Yeah I don't know how to open up to people. Even for really basic shit I'm afraid to share my opinion/personal stuff. I guess I'm just a little bitch or something

>>18165472
>It seems like once you hit no social life for any significant period of time it's over
Correct. Unless you're schizoid, naturally content with solitude, improving your social skill with experience is essential. Normies don't tolerate awkwardness and you'll suffer without the bare minimum of confidence and small talk ability.

>>18165392
Wow calli looks like THAT

>>18165330
Being boring is being in a weak position and not having the intelligence or energy to remove yourself from it. Your best bet is actually understand that and if you can't figure out how to increase your mental clarity, give up and become a hermit.

>>18165472
>>18165484
have you tried lying?

>>18165472
>It seems like once you hit no social life for any significant period of time it's over because your skills just get worse and worse and your life is completely uninteresting to other people because you have no stories to tell ect

True. If we ask ourselves "How can I be the most uninteresting and socially awkward version of myself", the answer would be something along the lines of:
> Avoid clubs and meetups for various interests (photography, art, books, philosophy, sports, movies)
> Avoid chatting up strangers (not only hot chicks but also dudes, old grannies et cetera)
> Avoid reaching out to any friends you might have and hang out with them
> Avoid opening up to people and showing glimpses of your true self (note: your true "best self", not the part that is lazy and wants to stay in)
> Avoid showing interest in other people who talk to you

And so on and so on. From this we can guess that the remedy probably is close to the opposite of what I listed above. The hard part is to actually do it.

>>18165472
You tell them stories who happened to a 'friend' or 'someone', and by someone I mean one of the greentext on this board. Prepare them in advance. I used to be terrible at this but with some effort I became an acceptable Turing Test - meaning it takes them some time before finding out there's something wrong with me.

>>18165522
I don't open up because I'm scared of coming off as weird so lying doesn't help. I just smalltalk my way out of every interaction

>>18165512
>become a jester for other people's amusement

>>18165506
I don't know if I'm a schizoid but I don't want to interact with people anymore. I'm on neetbux so I don't need to anyway. Fiction is better than real life so I think I'll focus on that

>>18165546
yea I'm sure thats what people want to hear a bunch of 4chan posts

>>18165569
Does this feel familiar to you?

>>18165574
>okay so there is this Asian twink called Waldun- well first you need to know about Dark Academia - I mean you have read The Secret History, right? Yeah well some fag on /lit/ was obsessed with him for a while and - okay to cut a long story short - you know what dubs are right? Yeah okay well he got dubs so he had to cum on a picture of this guy for all of us lol it was GOAT thread.

>>18165600
lol

Most people are boring.
Also sometimes being boring is a good thing. The few times I was accused of being boring was because I was not into making consumerism a part of my personality.

>>18165600
Checked and keked

Literally me

>From this we can guess that the remedy probably is close to the opposite of what I listed above. The hard part is to actually do it.
Exactly what my therapist told me.
Too bad I'm living through a literal world pandemic and the most social interaction I get is drafting Magic on discord.

>>18165592
Everything fits aside from
>asexual, sometimes celibate (I have a high sex drive and am an escortcel)
>deeply curious about others (I don't really care about most people)
>vulnerable to erotomania (I don't think anyone really finds me attractive)
Otherwise it's spot-on but I suspect the SPD diagnosis applies to a lot of people, which is why it was removed from the DSM if I'm not mistaken.

>>18165600
>she will suck him just to make him sto talking

>>18165625
we both know this won't happen
ever

>>18165330
>I don't have the energy
God I fucking hate it when people say this shit. When did we all become fucking children?

>>18165592
I have literally all of these, but just today my therapist told me we should do some tests, because "If you just read the manual by yourself, you'll just think you have ALL of the conditions in the DSM"

>>18165639
"I don't have the energy" is a way of not saying that you're suicidal and life has lost all meaning.

>>18165639
The irony is, children have a ton of energy to do stuff.

>>18165631
You don't come that close to "ParisHiltonFace+PamelaAndersonTits"-girl and get to touch one of her erogenous zones if she isn't willing to suck you off.

>>18165639
I never said that when I was a kid. For me, it's an entirely adult phrase.

>>18165655
My therapist told me I have a lot of energy and resources, I'm just using them wrong.
Not sure I believe her though

>>18165682
Sounds like the feel-good stuff therapists say.

>>18165618
Even though you can't do all those things today, you can still plan for a course of action in the future.

> Scout out clubs that interest you.
This can be hard because you might not feel like you are interested in anything. Some anon a few weeks ago mentioned that "passion can not precede action" or something like that. In most cases, you will not be passionate about something which you haven't been doing for quite some time. You have to put in the work, and only then can you find new interests.

> Make a "training schedule" for talking to people
Construct a challenge for yourself that you can take on after the pandemic is over. For example:
> Day 1-30: Ask a stranger what time it is (don't wear a watch or bring your phone)
> Day 30-60: Ask a stranger (who does not look busy) what they think about the city. Mention that you are writing an essay on it and would like to get some new perspective

You get the point

>>18165649
It's what people say when they don't want to meet the responsibilities of being a person.

>>18165650
Yes, until they eventually crash and then they're knocked right out.

>>18165655
You shouldn't be proud of this. Saying "I don't have the energy" as an excuse not to do things is juvenile behavior. Does mommy need to put you to bed and tuck you in? Man up.

>>18165704
wow what a tough guy

>>18165639
In the 1930s this was already a thing. So you have to go further back.

>>18165696
Yeah, that's why I don't believe her 100%
>The fact that you're here asking for help proves you have resources
Not sure about that, doctor

>>18165697
>>18165697
I have no problem asking for the time to a random person (did it multiple times just recently), so I guess I could "skip" the "first month". Second one looks tough though.

>>18165729
>The pleasures of urban populations have become mainly passive: seeing cinemas, watching football matches, listening to the radio, and so on. This results from the fact that their active energies are fully taken up with work; if they had more leisure they would again enjoy pleasures in which they took an active part.

>>18165639
It's mostly about lack of motivation, if you tell yourself you don't have energry, you won't have it

>>18165704
>Saying "I don't have the energy" as an excuse not to do things is juvenile behavior
I never said it wasn't. I work 9 hour days, and I get 4 hours to myself every day. I literally don't have the energy to do anything meaningful when I get home because I am exhausted, and consequently my life appears very dull (which it is).

>>18165472
>>18165506
>It seems like once you hit no social life for any significant period of time it's over
Completely untrue

>>18165330
Become a racist. Have racism be your personality, learn about other cultures/nations in order to be more accurately racist. That's what I did.
>called a mexican girl a fake mexican because she had never been below nueva leon
>had a conversation with a phone call center paki about how i thought the uyghur camp stuff was bullshit because pakistan would say something if a bunch of innocent muslims were actually being genocided like they said
etc
