I completely understand being an introvert, but I really don't know what it feels like not to be able to talk and conversate and make people like you.

I've worked at a few jobs where I was forced into constant interaction with others, often in positions where I got to teach people or guide them through something. They taught me how to handle people.

I now work as a teacher, and am studying to be a lawyer. Don't have a lot of people that I like to spend time with (studying, reading, and etertaining myself always seem to me a better use of my time) but I find it ridiculously easy to get people to like me and share their darkest secrets with me.

People always seem to trust me. I can't explain it.

I'm looking forward to working as a lawyer. I think I'll be good at it.

Actually, I want to expand on this. People can be great. Social interaction can be great, too. But you don't have to force yourself to hang out with people if you don't want to do that. There's only so much time in this world. Why spend too much of it pretending to laugh at some other person's horrible joke or whatever? Why go out to eat with them and listen to their horrible, banal stories? If you find friends that have good taste and tell great stories, that's fine and different. Those can be rare, though, and you shouldn't force yourself to hang out with people just to hang out with people.

Guy who used to be lonely and was very happy to stop being lonely here. My situation's a little bit like that, in that I'm fine with spending time by myself and don't need to be going out all the time. But the thing is... if I'm introverted now, it's a different kind of feeling. When I was a teenager I was alone, but thinking something like
>oh shit I'll never have friends, I can't socialise, why can't I just have friends
etcetc teenageclichesadinfinitum. Whereas now, I know I have had friends, can socialise... so I can be comfortable not doing so. Plus no longer being a teenager helps, of course.

Basically, friends are great when you want them, but friends also come loaded with problems, and you notice this more and more as you grow older and older. When you're a little kid, friends are awesome because there are no girls, no jobs, and no real schoolwork to occupy your time. All you care about is playing Perfect Dark splitscreen and chugging mountain dews.

But you grow up. And you start working. And you start having priorities. And you really start to diverge from your friends. It gets harder and harder to see the positives of maintaining large social circles as you grow older if you're a focused sort of guy with goals in life.

Because it's clear that your only benefit from acquiring friends is their sycophantic nature. That is, you like it when they fondle you with compliments because your ego is immature and still relies on such things to make it through a day.

No, that's not what friendship is at all. You don't just talk and listen to other people talk.

You really need a friend. I'm scared for some of you guys on 4chan.

Having a friend is having someone that you look forward to being next to. It's having someone who'll laugh at your jokes, and give you a hug when you're feeling down, and hate your enemies with you. It's having someone who you can share your problems with. And someone who you can help through the world as well. It's knowing that life is worth living because there's someone who wants to see you. It's spotting a person across a room and seeing a smile light up their face.

mm i dont see the feeling of anxiety as a problem. well i dont now, cause i did see it like that. now i just see it as a symptom. of what? just of the fact that i have a mental state of mind which is not practically compatible with most people's simply because i was not allowed to interact with them in the 1st years of life (which are decisive in this matter)

So, saying that "practice fixes it" is precisely the misunderstanding i was talking about. forcing myself to do something just because everyone does is not really a nice way to live. Dont you think?

I honestly could not know, because I'm not you. Again, if it's genuinely not at all enjoyable that's fine. The only thing I'd suggest is that the early years being decisive is questionable- I mean, I'd want some very strong conclusions from psychology studies before accepting that.

mm that aint false but it is a big simplification i think. actually therein lies the childhood argument. when ure a child theres nothing in your mind, so everything is reception. now every "new experience" is gonna find old stuff in that "pathway", which will not precisely be a harmonious synthesis of opposites.
