I was bullied as a child and my parents love and affection for me was conditional unless I was a perfect person so now I am socially anxious and a perfectionist.To make matters worse I am 26 and never had a social circle to be honest. I can't stand "normies" and I am way past trying to meet people to befriend so I've sworn off having friends.I also don't have any hobbies desu. So I spend the whole day either walking alone in the city or rotting in my room.I am not a NEET btwWhat to do? I feel so depressed man.
>>34778099People are social animals. You know what is the most pure state of a social animal that can exist? A Child.You were in a situation where poors got defined by their poverty. You were forced to become an adult early on. Now you find out being an adult is the wrong way of doing things.Stop being a cynical piece of shit. Start appreciating when people do dumb stuff. Spend a day in the woods, interact with animals, stop thinking for a week of any shit regarding the future. Start relying more on other people. Yeah you have to make a bit of work to find the right people but you can't give yourself the privilege of shitting on everyone anymore. That kind of attitude only works if you're a sociopathic asshole by natural temperament, and you're not that, you're the kind of animal that built a civilization.
>>34778099you've built a wall around yourself, and need to break them back down againyou can't escape normies and swearing off friends is stupid.join clubs or social groups. they're usually desperate for new blood.everyones parents fuck up on something. that was 8+ years ago.look for third spaces in your city you can meet people, make a bucket list of what's interesting, visit each one one time and go down the list.we live in a strange time where a lot of the organic ways of meeting are no longer accessible so it is hard mode.
