Thread 82789757

I'm done trying to make friends, find a gf, be social etc. I realize I don't actually give a shit I just wanted that out of social pressure. I'm ok living as an asocial hermit, it's incredibly peaceful, I don't have to prove myself, don't have to pretend to be someone else, don't have to entertain someone.

Being a hermit has pretty severe downsides especially as you get older. I'm sure you're aware of that, just be sure you won't regret it later.

this is what i thought as well but there will be no one to take care of you as you get older. Im a thirdie so we dont put parents in old age homes and the dynamic is completely different

You should try while you're young and ignorant so you don't have regrets later. I tried to be social all throughout my teens and 20s so now in my 30s I know I did all I could and I have the life experience to know I'm not "missing out" and don't have to worry about "what could have been". If you just opt out in your youth then I think you'll get delusional and wound up later on in life thinking "I should have did this this and that!". If you're already in your 30s then ya welcome to being middle aged and getting with the program. It's better to live authentically by yourself than live performatively just to try and fail to have good social experiences. Still lonely and miserable but better than living fake.
