personally i get cheered up when i realize im not alone so i think literally any kafka would do the trick. his diary isn't a bad read and about 40% of the way through he starts complaining about how everybody, his sisters, his mom, his dad, everyone else, is boring and that he just wants to be alone and quit his job but instead he has to listen to people laughing in the kitchen when he just wants to concentrate, etc.

>Go to acting class for 2 months
>new guy joins, they all go to the pub without even telling me. I said to them, "hey isnt the car park this way?" And they said "yea" then I left and they kept walking
>new girls join
>they talk about the group chat right in front of me. I didnt even know they fucking had a group chat.

Im used to being alone but fucking hell they could have just asked me. They are a group and I am a single individual. Fuck them. This has happened before when a girl and her friends would talk about her upcoming party right in front of me while i was sitting at her lunch table.

I might have not gone but just fucking ask. Holy shit. My acting class is small too: only 8 people. I wouldn't be so pissed if it wasnt for the fact that i actually thought i was getting somewhere. Who the fuck needs friends? At least a book doesnt fail you, and at least porn is always accessible and makes me feel good.

I feel this. I love my family and sometimes, you know, it really is fun to play with the kids and stuff. But I can only take so much and I always feel sad when I turn them down, and when I don't turn them down I just play with them in some perfunctory way and I feel kind of guilty about it during and after.

Why don't you offer to read her a story?

Tbh you just need to realize most people are complete NPCs that are just “reading the mood”. By and large they aren’t expressing a will of their own and you will be surprised at how pliable they are if you assert yourself with some violence; they will generally spend so much time reconfiguring themselves to fit the social situation (as you are doing currently) that they will very rarely “fight back”. That means if you want to hang out with these people you just have to do it; by the same token you can leave at any time.

You could have turned both of these situations in your favor with one sentence each. I'm gonna guess most of your issues stem from that you don't talk much.

1. where are you guys going?
2. can I come too?

Maybe the party you would get denied, but nobody cares who comes to the pub with them. They definitely are assuming that you don't like them. I used to get that a lot when I was quiet and depressed.

This is a stock joke phrase used to poke fun at outcasts in highschool. Nobody asks this in earnest, anon. You were being teased.

I dont even want friends or care about them. I just thought i was making progress but it turns out I wasn't: my personality is just trash and people aren't inherently good. It isn't the fact that I didnt get to go or I wasn't apart of the group chat whilst the new girls were; it was the fact that I wasn't even made aware. How can they be so dense or so intimidated as to just not ask me? Growing up, it was considered rude to invite yourself to social events, and equally as rude as to talk about it infront of someone who isnt invited. But that is my mistake for thinking people follow basic decencies. Thing is, sure I can ask for their number and face the possible rejection and stroke their ego in the process, but the fact that even a simpleton would know how talking about a social event involving all but one person, right in front of the said person, and then expecting the loner to ask for permission to attend said function, is down right rude and is deserving of retaliation.

People often forget that using this site marks you. Everyone in public can smell it on you, subconsciously. They don't know exactly what it is, but it is pungent. The type of people who use 4chan are the type of people that don't get invited to the pub, at least by broad strokes.

Progress at what, being a bitter aspie? If you don't care, why are you crying like a little bitch about it online? Jesus, you are not a solitary being. Just admit you want to be accepted. Surely it must seem easier to just pretend that you don't give a shit, but your hypocrisy is showing.
That said, based on your posts, I can agree that your personality does seem to be trash. Perhaps dropping the mask would help with that.

I told the exact same thing to my therapist, she told me "that's what you feel" implying people weren't really noticing it. She has no idea. That uneasiness can be felt in pictures, let alone in actual interactions. You are marked for life. Not by 4Chan, but by what brought you there. Everyone can smell it. They cannot put their finger on it, but they know something is off.
That will follow you.

and then what? why would they ask you if they didn't want you to go? it's not worth the risk. i would try a different acting class, but also make sure that you try to pin down why they don't like you and "improve". it really sucks and i empathize, i sat alone throughout all of high school. 4chan is my main source of social interaction
