I was doing school online last semester and liked it, but now that I go in person(labs require it) I fucking hate college.I don't dislike learning or school.I just hate being amongst a sea of normalfags.When I was alone at home and could nerd out without being distracted by all these normalfags. But now I have to be amongst them, interact with them, do fucking group projects.I have trouble focusing in general too, so all this normalfag chatter during lectures stops me from learning.How can I learn to be tolerant of normalfags? How can I "mask" myself better and avoid awkward situations? How can I pretend to be one of them and socialize with them when I'm forced to or when it might impact my grades?Everytime I talk to these normalfags it's like we are a different species. It's just this natural, awkward wall I cannot break. But I have to, or I will have sub-optimal results
It sounds like you’re struggling with fitting in and distractions at college. To make it easier, focus on finding common ground with others, even if it's just small talk or class-related topics. For group work, try to contribute without forcing socializing, and redirect conversations back to the task if needed. **Masking** is about blending in while still staying true to yourself—engage when necessary but set boundaries. To improve focus, try sitting in quieter spots or use noise-canceling headphones. It’s all about balancing your needs with the demands of your environment.
>>32597416thank you LLManon, but you are hallucinating as proven by this statement :>or use noise-canceling headphonesSo then I can't listen to the lecture?I'd rather an anon with similar experiences who overcame them give me specialized, and SOVLFUL /adv/ice
>>32597408It gets easier. Going to school isn't just about learning subjects, it's about learning people. You learn a lot about different kinds of people, as well as social skills, interaction skills (talking, listening, even body language), how to be brave, sensitive, etc, etc. Yes, it's hard. For some people it's harder than the school subjects. But it's valuable and one of the few areas of learning that's actually useful and relevant to real life, so stick with it.
>>32597489>But it's valuable and one of the few areas of learning that's actually useful and relevant to real life,Heed this advice OP. I wish I took it when I was younger. I wouldn't have as many problems as I do now.
>>32597408Normalfags own you.
>>32597408>How to fit in with normalfags?start by stop calling them "normalfags" and creating this cancerous fictitious dichotomy in your head that's already putting you at odds with the world before you even interact with anyone.i can immediately tell you're one of those autistic retards that thinks they're the smartest person in the room when in reality they're one of the dumbest.
>>32597408News Flash: You are going to be living and working in the world of people for another 70 or 80 years. You might as well use college as an opportunity to learn how to do it.
>>32598777How can I stop being owned by them?>>32598870>start by stop calling them "normalfags" and creating this cancerous fictitious dichotomy in your head that's already putting you at odds with the world before you even interact with anyone.I call them normalfags because they have called me a weirdo all my life ever since I was born.This is not a fictitious dichotomy. I know I am weird, they know I am weird, and they know they are normal.I'm not even the one who created this dichotomy they are the ones who started calling me weird as a kid.>i can immediately tell you're one of those autistic retards that thinks they're the smartest person in the room when in reality they're one of the dumbest.I'm not the smartest in the room. Some of my cognitive skills are very below average (anything executive function + very very slow processing speed). This is also why I prefer learning on my own, than through lectures amongst a sea of normalfags chattering, because I can't handle the normalfag chatters it distracts me, and I don't process what the teacher is saying as well as if I was to by myself in a quiet environment.That being said I am much more curious and nerdy than average, and I have higher visuospatial/analytical skills than average. This is also something these same normalfags have always told me. Although my processing skills and my working memory are abysmal and I am indeed a retard for certain things(I can't even read an analog clock quickly) I do have a few cognitive skills that are above average. Infact the lack of homogeneity in my cognitive skills is part of what makes me "weird"(autistic retards tend to be extremely retarded in some areas and extremely gifted in others. Me I am extremely retarded in many areas and somewhat gifted in a few)Even if I stop calling them normalfag that wall will still exists as it always did. I don't think I am superior to them, but I do KNOW that we are not the same and that it's very hard for us to connect.
>>32597489If you say so.I will tryThank you anon>>32597503I will try. Thanks for your warning
>>32598954I spent years not being able to learn it from kindergarten to high school. Do you genuinely believe I can finally overcome my retardation when it comes to this in college?I guess I used to be able to kind of pretend a bit but it was still very hard. The wall still existed and was still felt on both sides.What are things I should consider or look out for to learn how to interact and fit in with normalfags better? Perhaps there are a few things I did not consider when I was younger out of ignorance, explaining my failure to properly develop these skills?
What do you find most difficult about social interaction? What is it about your behavior that immediately signals you're a weirdo? Lots of people are annoying, but it shouldn't be that hard to be polite and make basic conversation, even when you have different backgrounds and interests.
>>32599616I do awkward things that seem to alienate them, and I did not expect it to come off as awkward or to alienate someone.I am slow on responding to certain things, either because I haven't processed it well yet or because I'm distracted/in my own head when I am suddenly being addressed. I don't know it's very small things. It's just this wall of awkwardness I cannot seem to be able to break. I can be polite and hold basic conversations but it still comes off as awkward often.
>>32599653>I do awkward things that seem to alienate themlike what?
>>32599777That's the thing, I don't know. From my perspective I haven't done anything special that should be alienating or awkward. I suppose I am missing certain "cues" but I am too retarded to even notice what these cues are that I missed kek.The only thing I know is awkward is when there are awkward pauses or silence caused by processing delay on my part.
>>32597408Coronahoax exposed the goyim on levels never before thought possible. We already had a decent idea of who the jews, elites, corporations, governments and the occultists really were and while there have been a lot of new revelations regarding their plans nothing pales in comparison to how much the goyim have been unmasked. The fuckers who pushed it were geniuses and deserve our gratitude for exposing how foolish and willing to betray us most people really were. The real criminals are the morally sanctimonious narcissists who put their faith in governments and pharmaceutical mega corporations. Every day average "law abiding citizens" are the reason the world we live in is in such turmoil and full of suffering.
>>32597408Which normalfags? Normalfags is like a collective of a series of subgenres.For most men just be into sports. Find a team and pretend as thought you now watch and like that sport. "Go Yankees!" "Go Blue Jays!" "Oh I love Hockey - my favourite team is the Toronto Maple Leafs". Pick whichever has the coolest kit to you. Read about their best seasons and learn some player names (with some sports, you can just play a few hours of a career mode on their respective EA slop videogame to help memorize a few names).After this you will want to learn about your new favourite teams rivals and what not. Anyone says they like your teams rival - call them a faggot.Befriend people who talk about this sport with your new found knowledge. Find out what their favourite team is and follow their scores (literally a google search away) - and provide whatever bollocks post game talk you find on reddit to them.Once you are in with sport loving normie men, go drinking with them. By doing this you will often at times get in with women as well - as normie men and women go hand in hand.
>>32597408>But now I have to be amongst them, interact with them, do fucking group projects.No you don'tYou are copingI am in year 3 of uni and i only know 1 person after the whole 3 years. It's probably not a good thing, but it just comes naturally. We come to class we do the thing we go home.
