Everytime I go outside, I'm reminded of why I'm a NEET in the first place. There's something so soul crushing and isolating about the outside world, I haven't really seen anyone talk about that aspect as much. Like, my room feels less lonely than OUTSIDE.. It hardly makes any sense, but I feel as though I'm the only human among aliens if that makes sense. Does anyone else feel this sense of depression and emptiness when they get home from going outside?? I feel better on this board than I do in public. Like, how do you even make friends on what your brain perceives as an alien planet?
>>43965611yes, when i left school the impression was that i was this disgusting, inherently rejectable creature and the world was full of "real adults" who would always hate me and would never let me part of society. i started feeling like an alien around 12 years old.but i have made some progress on what causes this. its partly the fact that society is genuinely isolating and alienating, and that everyone is victim to it to some extent. but when you add on top of it being an abnormal person (being trans, gay, autistic, incel, whatever) its easy to get pushed into total isolation because theres no safety net to catch you.you feel like you're on an alien planet because you are, you've never been here before, society has been around forever, cultures, political systems and everything that resembled a natural community and purpose has been eroded away by individualism.i think there is some hope though, that feeling of loneliness comes from inside you, not from outside. you cant change the outside but you can change yourself, learn to like yourself and not be affected by how evil the world is so you can start to exist in it.idk, i think
>>43965611society by design pits us against one another. the ick you feel in the public sphere is substantiated by the fact that the people around you are your competitors. it's a concrete jungle, where only the amoral thrive. bottom line: cope or rope (the former encompassing an all-or-nothing attitude).
>>43965611Reason why i read books current world is completely fallen.
>>43965611I've been a neet for the past 6 and a half years and I think it has legit fried my brain retarded. Every time I go outside in public I'm filled with visceral dread and paranoia.
>>43965611Unfortunately, to make friends, you have to ask people to do things with you.
>>43965695>>43965771I agree with both of you. sorry I'm way too sleepy to make a more in depth reply, but I think you're both pretty spot on.>>43966033Yeah, it feels like the world ended>>43966082same here, I have life ruining anxiety. Everytime I come home, I burst into tears. >>43966142in order to ask people to do things, you need to meet people willing to hang out with you. what I've learned is that most people are too busy/good for you. Most people value their jobs more than potential connections. I literally can't make friends on this planet. everything is off.
>>43965611I feel so fucking out of place constantly
>>43965611i always felt more at home talking with people online ever since i started to use AOL back in 1995 when i was 12. which completely makes sense for an autist with a 145 IQ
>>43966201>in order to ask people to do things, you need to meet people willing to hang out with youKnowing beforehand that you have something in common makes it easier, yeah. But you will never know if someone is willing to hangout if you don't ask.>>43966201>Most people value their jobs more than potential connectionsUh, yeah? I need a job. I have a decent one. I'm not trying to lose it. That doesn't mean I can't have friends.
