Do you need other people?
Would be cool if I didn't care about others and could sustain myself, but I still have an itch for connections

>need other people
short answer, no
long answer, yes
i dont wanna blogpost so tell me if you're interested in hearing my "views"

>>81884316
i'd be happy to read man!

>>81884284 (OP)
yes, i wish i didnt. i wish i could live alone forever and never feel the need for human interaction but alas i do and its making living so much harder

>>81884550
in that regard i envy asocial animals, like tigers

>>81884413
for context: i grew up in neglect, i was the outcast, the freak, i never felt like i belonged - as time went on, i realized i'm used to it, i am fine alone and i do well with solitude

but at the same time, i also realized that it doesnt really matter - *i* don't need human interaction, but like you said i still need to sustain myself
i still need to talk to the guy at the grocery store to get my groceries
i still need to talk to the waitress at the restaurant to order my food
i still need to talk to my professors at college if i don't understand what i'm doing
and... i still need to talk to the girl if i find her cute

the world doesn't care, it never did
it won't stop for me no matter how i feel or whatever i think of myself - *i* dont need other people, but other people seem to need me
the guy at the grocery store needs a customer like me to keep his business running
the restaurant i went to needs a customer like me to pay the waitress' salary
people *need* me, no matter what i think

>>81884743
so, do you choose to give people what they need?

>>81884284 (OP)
no i always wanted to be alone but i know its better to socialize
whether im away from family or someone dies or i lose a friend, it never affected me and i just wanna do my own thing
but living alone is dumb and i can sense socialized people are clearly more developed in some way so

>Do you need other people?
I just want a partner for frequent sex.
Apart from that, I am content to be an social hermit.

>>81884797
no, as it stands its still whatever it is that i personally need - that is my conscious action
but the consequences of that action is that the people get what they wanted out of me anyway

life is always like that - give and take, push and pull, ever transactional
