Have you thought that maybe that pressure is a good thing? Because deep down you know that spending time with other people and building relationships is what matters? Studies show that extroverted people have higher life satisfaction. Stop going on this website, contact one of your friends, make some plans, and go live your life.

Any books about being cool?Any books about having a lot of money? Any books about not being a NEET? Any books about having a nice cock? Any books about having a loving girlfriend? Any books about getting a girlfriend? Any books about killing my girlfriend? Any books about consoomers, boomers, and coomers? How do I read? Should I read this? Should I read that? What do I like?

You shouldn't be fine with not having friends and not going out, because that's not how humans evolved. It's against your nature, even if you don't like it. Our physical health gets worse due to loneliness, it's a mechanism that speeds up the process of dying for members of our species that were left behind.

You need to sort out what you really believe. The spiritual aspect is the highest principal in man. Once that is aligned correctly everything else will fall into place. If that is not settled, there is not and cannot be lasting harmony. I recommend The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis. Short. Powerful. If you want something longer, maybe St Augustine's confessions (especially if you don't have faith yet.). At any rate, you've got to sort out the spiritual sphere of your life, otherwise you'll get no where. That's my experience anyway.
Christ be with you.

You succumb to pressure because you do not aetheropressurize; you rely on bondage, rather than flow with cordance; you need to learn by yourself how to become independent, and to stop feeding your toxic codependancy, and intoxicating others with it.


The only persons with whom I am in syncord to such a degree that I would be able to welcome them as friends, and whose close presence therefore I would be able to tolerate with ease, for a lifetime, are those whose feelings, and thoughts, are as radical as mine —id est: those who have retraced their lifeline to our origin, and are therefore autistic & independent, and can conversate/telepathicommunicate through silence, and/or art —those very few whom I feel like I have always known.

I'm almost 38 and apart from a mild depression a few months ago, brought on by a small promotion which got me thinking about my life, I've never been uncomfortable in solitude. I suppose you may be describing the extrovert's state of mind but it could be read a few ways.

Unless you have a work from home job that isn’t solitude.
