god dammit why does human interaction have to be so boring. I am a first year in uni and all people ever talk about is how they got drunk or how they are totally into this girl or this and that.

I just nod and smile and make conversation but i really do hate it and ca't stand over 1 or 2 hours of hanging out with people.

however social isolation also does not work for me.

Everytime i try making an interesting conversation people just look at me weird as if they don't know what I'm talking about.

comeone /sci/ i know i can't be the only one.

also i thought uni would be different

I used to hang around with people who are interested in the same things. Spent a lot of time talking about science and philosophy.

Then my only two friends went to different schools. Forever alone.

Going to uni this year, maybe there's someone interesting there.

If sober and with guys I can converse easily. However finding topics to discuss with women is difficult without looking awkward.

>> No.2799757

I for one not even speak when I am at university, but then again it just started 3 weeks ago. It is hard socializing, at least for me, and the only thing that works for me is when we share interests, otherwise I do the same as you OP, except I never start conversations, and if I NEED a conversation, I can do that in my brain.

When you are in a group of people who are talking about something irrelevant try to change the topic of conversation or leave. Most people are not deep thinkers and lack the capabilities and desire to have intellectually stimulating conversations. The primal urge to fuck every girl they see is overwhelming for them.

>> No.2799809

I'm like OP and proud of it. I have quite a few friends that know and understand this aspect of me and are similar enough that we can go to relatively quiet pubs for vaguely intellectual drunken conversations. And jagerbombs.

>> No.2799832

Stop blaming other people for your inability to identify.
It's not their fault you don't like the things they do, and vice versa. Hang out with different people.
Also, come down off your fucking tower. Getting drunk and trying to bone things is perfectly normal, and there's nothing wrong with being perfectly normal.

There's probably a few people like you in some of your classes. Find them. If there's none then you really shot low choosing your major, should've gone into math or science or engineering.

Small minds talk about people.

Good minds talk about events.

The great minds talk about ideas.

I think there is nothing wrong with having only a few friends that intellectually stimulate you. I do, the rest are kinda "shallow", if thats the right word, the type of people you kinda discuss in OP. They are still cool guys though, i enjoy hanging around with them like anyone else, they just arent interested in deep conversations or anything i would find stimulating, politics etc which i enjoy talking about with some of my other friends. I still love talking about sport or uni with them though. To each his own, you have to get a mix of friends to be socially satisfied i reckon.

You have no interesting hobbies to talk about outside of your major. Take up a sport or get into a TV show or play video games or something so you can talk to people about things that don't sound like homework.

People who seem to spend all their time bitching about other people over nothing and talking about "how wasted" they were last night are over-compensating for social anxiety.

Fun and adventure is fine. Talking to a bunch of mildly drunk retards is boring.

Paragliding is pretty fun and adventurous, especially if you can power your flight with a small prop and motor.

Fuck socializing.

>> No.2799952

I once felt the same way OP. I just gave up on successful socialising because I realised I don't need it. Socialising is not like an intellectual discussion in that you do it because it requires you to care about the personal life more than the ideas of who you're talking to. I now stick to non emotionally demanding shallow friendships for the sake of looking sane in the conventional sense.

Maybe if you joined them in getting drunk, having fun, and having sex, you wouldn't be such an outcast. Stop being such a shut-in neckbeard loser. There's plenty of time to enjoy yourself and study at the same time.

I once found someone who was just as anti-talk-about-shit as I was. we would never make smalltalk but could share ideas and stuf. no need for the whole hello, hello, how are you? fine, you? fine. shit with him too. we just walk up to each other and start talking as if we say each other just a while ago. and if the conversation turns shit or runs downone of us just walkaway.

that was fun times.

I'm sorry, but that's the most horrendously flawed statement I have ever read. It reads like you just got it straight out of one of /fit/'s motivation threads.

How does possibly talking about an idea make one a great person? Or talking about people in some way make someone less of a person?

Beyond the fact that talking about any one of these things in it's individuality would be incredibly tedious and make for appalling conversation, but also it makes no distinction between ideas.

Human beings are fascinating things, worth talking about in the same way some ideas are pointless and banal. It is very easy to have a god quality conversation with anyone, regardless of topic or 'intellectual greatness'. As for the line on events, I don't even know what is going on here.

An event how? The people involved? The ideas in question? Or was this simply placed to satisfy the original authors need to talk about his upcoming facebook party without feeling like a 'small' mind?

The concept itself is flawed and you should feel bad for posting it here.

You might be an outcast because everyone else has been psychologically indoctrinated into thinking that being drunk and having sex every weekend is fun.
This is why they laugh at anyone who's different. I love the irony of the western world standard. "You must be yourself and an individual. Do what you want to do" but when you do the things you like are laughed at and stamped as an outcast. The fascism of this social world is fascinating.
There was a guy in sociology class the other day who labeled the Middle-East as a failed society because they don't drink. I've never been so angry in a long time.
