Why does /lit/ regard themselves as the archetype of anti-social behavioural types? Other forms of entertainment are too as escape from reality, or a rejection of reality as undesirable. Reading books does not separate you from the person in pic related. You just went down an alternative alley. Explain yourself.

>> No.7002331

I don't regard myself that way. I'm just vaguely antisocial. I don't aim to be the archetype of anything, since trying to be a universal and not a particular is the epitome of being spooked.

>> No.7002333

The correct use of term here is "asocial", antisocial denotes an active opposition to cultural norms and values

This is why. Reading books has made us more intelligent than the uncultured masses, filling us with dark compulsions to play mind games with them.

There was no need to say the word related
This and your misuse of anti social probably means you're an idiot but whatever

I probably do actually have some kind of anti social personality disorder, but I also have anxiety.
I can be out with friends, pretty much dreaded in anxiety, some female friend of friend I met once or a random girl will stand near me and I'll be groping her, touching her pussy and ass through and under her skirt ir something, respectively while my oblivious friend is talking to her and everyone besides me and her us oblivious to what I'm doing, and I still go through the rest of the night quite and not really talking to anyone because I have some intense anxiety

How I'm special or different doesn't have much to do with my reading books, and I usually just read non fiction books on business and finance or white collar crimes or something

I like people sort of I don't like myself always but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't like others not like also the way the more others of today of the last time of course the said not people around me just backward so the general direction of people around me are cool the way it's not just justify myself the way backward the people around me they don't never understand the me and me and I'm said people around me backward the soil of today and there is bird and bird singing in a tree and the people around me just can't the people around me they the people around me

I appreciate others' existence.

I don't appreciate the forms we have grown used to call communication. I like silences that most would call awkward. I like strange situations. I do not like being asked to speak, nor do I respond to many prompts. I don't think there is much value to it. I think reading articulates ideas and writing articulates ideas in a way that is difficult to translate to dialogue. I like talking mostly to hear other people's voices and maybe to exercise my own, but I don't care much for what is said. I do not like when I get angry at someone, because it is automatic and
a nervous gesture mostly.

I don't like nervousness. A healthy nervous-system is all I ask for in life.
I know no one that has a healthy nervous-system. I know calm people but they are more numb than "healthy."

Or a non-desire to do so. Please consider all possible options before coming to a conclusion. You assumed an error on my part from YOUR inability to rid yourself of a pre-judicative judgement before applying judgement after it. You are clearly in the wrong here. Also, if I was OP I wouldn't have referred to OP as a third party. Try logic sometime.

The girl on the right cares about collecting and talking about dumb merchandise related to her hobby than engaging in so-called normal social interaction. At best a vapid shut in with nothing interesting to say.

The two on the left just wants to have a good time. At best carefree and happy-go lucky, at worst hedonists - which is still preferable to the girl on the right.

the whole chunky thing was about unconscious desires of people, a designer for the big companies figured out that you can sell like 3 or 4 types of sauce because people will buy their preference and the company that started this plan made a shitton of money, from there it blossomed out

I gave up at some point. Don't really know when, but just woke up one day and realized I'd never be a people person no matter how much I put myself out there.

I have friends now, but I don't bother trying to make them. If someone wants to talk and sit for a while it's good.

But more than anything else, being around people is way too tiring. I can hardly stand more than three at a time or else I feel my neck droop from the need to sleep.
