Ten Reasons to be Anti-Social

[QUOTE="Dark__Link"]No one here is antisocial... at least I hope not. Being antisocial is a DISORDER. It's a medical term nearly synonymous with psychotic. An antisocial person plots to kill others, they do disturbing and horrifying things, they are not people who just don't like to associate with other people. Everyone seems to confuse it with unsocial. Anyway, I'll continue being social.. that list was stupid.majadamus

[QUOTE="majadamus"]I already knew all that after 6 years of being a loner. The main reason I'm anti-social is because a lot people bore me to tears. I have a bad habit of getting invited to really bad parties as well. I try to avoid those as much as possible because they always lead a very uncomfortable awkward boring time. [QUOTE="Nerd_Man"]

The best things in life takes time and work, and that means getting past the crappy moments in life, and being anti-social is basically one's excuse for being lazy or giving up on oneself.

"The walls weren't put there to stop you, they were put there to see how badly you want it." - Randy Pausch

That quote can refer to many things, and being anti-social only shows how weak you are with giving up on basic things in life. I'm not referring to everyone that is anti-social, because I know many people are here, and admit it, and wish you could be doing better in life; I'm referring to the people who know they are, and think they are proud of it.

Having a social life should be a basic thing people have, yet so many people are afraid to exploit it. I think everyone does have that social aspect in them somewhere, it's just, not everyone knows how to exploit it well, or feel unfomfortable doing so. I think it just takes more experience, and getting used to if you're one of those people who feel that way. The steps may not seem easy, cause that means you would actually have to go out and communicate with people and make friends, but I think in the end things would make you better off.
Not everyone is a stuck-up sould who throws crappy parties afterall, you're just too used to being around those people, forgetting there's a whole world of different people out there.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you found people more like YOU? People who have quite similar interests to you, and conversations hard not to get along with.
Maybe if you found those people, it would be easier opening up. Either that or you just hate yourself if you can't even get along with people just like you. lol

Misanthropy i think is what people actually mean here, i admit i am a misanthrope on a low level, but you can hate everybody and still be social

Just trying to make other anti-social people feel better.

But this guy actually knows what he's saying!

yea, the actual definition of anti social does not mean being shy or being away from people, but this is how most people use the word.

I am anti social in this sense. At first I was the depressed kind of anti-social when I was younger, but I greatly enjoy being anti-social now. I have come to realize that people are inherently asses. People may try to hide it with fake niceness (but this is just usually in order to get something they want). People always are trashing others or comparing themselves to others "below" them to make themselves feel superior. Even "nice" people are only nice because it makes them feel good about themselves. Like all the people who help out once a year in a soup kitchen and think they are a saint after. The truth is people really do not care about other people that much. We all look out for ourselves first. It is our instinct to look out for our own needs the most. We are for more concerned with our own individual survival then the survival of others. This is why I just dont like people in general. People are inherently selfish so being around any of them for too long just gets annoying. We are social creatures though, so even I crave small amounts of social contact every once in awhile and I get more than enough through the internet.When I am actually around some1 in real life for more than 20 mins, they start to annoy the hell out of me. Im sure that even you people on gamespot would annoy me in real life if i met you hehe, but at least since you like video games I would dislike you slightly less.

are better then others because they a anti-social and believe they have seen humanity for what it truely is. Being anti-social obviously has made you delusional if it makes you think being anti-social is better then being social. You just try to jusitfy your decision to be anti-social by thinking these false things.NZgamer007

I made some edits to try to make my points clearer. But yes, I do think that most people are happier when they are social, but I just see no point in it. And yes, from what I have seen of humanity I can say these things. Everyone's outlooks are all obviously shaped by their personal experiences. And I did not say that I thought I was better. I am one of these people that I despise as well haha. What I mean is that I am kind of just disgusted by how human nature is. People in general are just selfish(myself included) which is why I do not like being around them. People crave power and to have the most for themselves. Nations are just bigger manifestations of this. Just look at all the problems in the world. They are based on peoples want of power and our selfishness. lazyhoboguy
