Normal people are just strange.
Most definately. I try to understand why they do the things they do, and still don't get it. They crack jokes about the stupidest things, and I still don't get it. I must be a total geek then...
(I'm thinking of the blonde girly girls who probably think I'm some loser).
Never had that. I have this whole loner, brooding type of person going on, and from what I read, and have experienced females like that for some strange reason. Which leads to many broken hearts, and ruined relationshipd for me. For some reason they think I'm just bottling everything up, and I'm not. I truly am that care free. Nothing really affects me that much. I used to care, then I went through three years of hell as a teenager, and that stopped right there. Now I just can't seem to bring myself to truly care about another human being, or even anything that I should. I'm jaded, and shattered, and most likely suffering from post-traumatic depression.
For myself:
A)I have no money to go to a bar but I wouldn't go even if I did. I'd probably go listen to music/a band/ dj somewhere if I had the coin. Bars around here aren't really bars. A tavern is a better place. Or pub.
I agree, I like going to this one pub where the music majors from ASU have this thing going on everynight. It's great to sit there, and chill with a Guiness, and listen to them just slam some old school rock, and roll out. The blues night is the best though.
B)I don't really know anyone where I live.
Hell, I've lived here for three monthes, and I know a total of 7 people here. I don't actively talk to them either it's just if I have to. I'm not too social anymore. I grow weary of getting involved into another situation like last year. OMFGTSA.
C)When I drink alone sometimes I like to be by myself.
D)I probably have that social disorder thing where sometimes I can't stand being with people. Buying groceries is sometimes difficult. lol.
I hate grocery stores.
I don't really know. I mean I'm not really introverted in some sense of the word. Or maybe I really deeply am. I don't know where it stems from.
As a group of people. I think its just some sense of profound isolation. Really. Or just being completely self-centered. Two sides of the same coin.
Excluded. Selfish.
Is it a North American phemon? on the rise...
I say it's growing in America, because people are just getting tired of all the mind games, and the BS that goes on all the fucking time here. I never got any of this crap when in Germany, or the middle east.
Somehow also as an additional comment being extremely introverted is also
taboo. in NA culture. I get that a lot. A lot of people pen me as shy (the extroverts damn them!) . I have been called autistic. There is this sense that something is wrong. When in fact there isn't. Socially I just don't care.
Or quiet. People say I'm quiet. Bugs the hell out of me. Invisible too. "Oh I didn't realize you were there...."
I was ask if I was autistic by a room-mate last year. I said nope, but he said I should go find out. Turn's out I have what's called Asperger's syndrome. Mine leans into the mathematical, and conceptial thinking area. I'm extremely talented with visualizing things, and understanding how something complex works without reference, or manuals. I also have a photorealistic memory. I have taken cars apart full, and I mean totally down to pieces of the frames sitting there to restore tham, and put them all back together from memory. This is on E-type Jaguar's too. The most complex cars on the planet. Interpersonal interaction in a social situation tends to be a hard thing for me though.
But people cannot stand being in a room when no conversation is going on. Some people will just freak.
I have met people like that. It drives them insane that I can go an entire day without saying a damn word. In my family I can have an entire conversation, and they will understand me completely without me saying more than a few words, but for people that don't know me. It drives them insane.
I had a girlfriend, that hated this about me. Hence why she's no longer here, but I still don't know why she even bothered, maybe she thought I would change.
My motto is if you have nothing to say of any value, shut the fuck up. You are contributing to the polution, and ignorance of the human race.
