Yes, you have to force yourself out of your comfort zone or you will slowly become a total shut in.

that's not what i'm saying Hans, if Beethoven maried her he would not have left behind half of the music we have of him today and it wouldn't be as good. we probably wouldn't even know his name, his most emotional (and famous) pieces were inspired by emotions from his tragic state of being. women are time consuming

Yes, it unironically gives you dementia.

I'm in my late 30s and I've been alone most of my life. I cannot remember a single event after I graduated college at 22. From 22-30 it's just a blank. I can't tell you what I did or who I did it with.

I have a friend like me, a neet virgin in his 30s, and he casually forgets things too. He frequently says things like "what were we talking about?" and "who is that?" referring to people we both know.

You know what I do remember, though, with every fiber of my being? My love-bombing BPD ex-gf who dated me for 4 months. I remember every detail I spent with her. Oh, and also the first time I learned about the USS Liberty. Those two things.

You're a disengaged incel. Brain activity is derived from purpose. I hope you didn't add a vaccine to that mess.
If you're just existing without dedicating yourself to something, you will decline into an NPC like boomers are today.

Engage in technical pursuits, seek mastery. Pick something that takes years of practice, and give it exactly that.

It's fear mongering 100%
Some of the most retarded people alive are married people who interact with people every day.
Social interaction never helped my parents who are each significantly mentally deficient in their own ways, and in my familial circle I'm one of only two people capable of critical reason.

What social interaction actually does is improve apparent IQ because it gives you conversational practice, but apparent IQ has no bearing on actual IQ, achievement potential, or decision making wisdom.

There's a trend nowadays where people want to believe smart people are also eloquent, and they cite smart communicators like maybe Feynman, Brian Cox, Terence Tao, but in reality they're all coached to speak well and specifically about topics in their field. In real life and for regular topics they're probably average communicators at best.

Plus Musk talks every day and still talks like a sperg, even though he's undoubtedly above average in intelligence, retardedness or not aside.

I spent 10 year as a WFH shut-in. It had no effect on how I do on IQ tests (mid 130s). Eat decently, sleep well, exercise and get sun somehow in the morning, and your IQ won't move at all until you're at least 50. Primarily, poor sleep habits and being grotesquely overweight and diabetic is what causes shut-ins to decline mentally. If you're here saying this, I doubt you have extroverted psycho-physiological needs, but your social ability will decline from neglect no matter what your IQ is, no way around it.

You could also just be suffering from jabbie-syndrome.

I used to be agoraphobic. Did a 10 year stint. The only cognitive decline living alone is through loneliness as it causes depressions and explicitly doing the opposite of what you said. You can overcome a lot of this by being a big autist and talking ideas through with yourself out loud and trying new hobbies.

Agree. It's extremely easy to slip into neglect living life that way no matter how introverted you are. I did exactly like what you're describing and it's probably what kept me sane. I was lucky to have already had the habit of a daily workout basically beaten into me as a kid, but even that habit fell off occasionally living like that.

The real reason not to be a shut-in is the eventual, inevitable realization of what a huge waste of time it is. You don't think you'll regret it until you turn about 30, but you really do. None of us are a Newton or Tesla. I'm happy with my life now but I really wish I'd known how much there was for me to enjoy away from a computer and with other people. The regret really burns sometimes.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? Living alone forces you to do everything yourself instead of relying on other people.
