Skinko Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 My nice little three year run of actually being a part of a social circle is over. Now I'm back in my comfort zone. And by that I mean I'm completely isolated from pretty much everyone in my life. It's nice not having people around me. Less pressure to live up to someone else's standards. Fuck that noise. I want to do what makes me happy, and me alone.
fuggnificent Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 you probably have more friends than you know
Sandstone Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 That's unfortunate, if I lived near you we could be friends. Even though I don't really know you.

Skinko Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 you probably have more friends than you know I have a lot of people from ASMB I'm close with. And I've been a bit distant with my family, but I know they support me. That's all I need.

I feel like this thread might sound more depressing than I intend it to. Trust me, this is an improvement for my sanity. I'm just a naturally distant person. I dunno.

Like I said in a different reply, I do have some members of my family that I want to get back to seeing more often. But not really a lot more often. Maybe pop in a couple times a month.
Skinko Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 Still doing karaoke though? Oh, goodness no. It stopped being fun for me a while ago. I love singing in front of people, but I hate bars, and I began to feel uncomfortable around my friends a long time ago, and it's only become more difficult to be "cool social guy" because that's literally the opposite of who I really am. So that entire part of my life is over. To put it in wrestling terms, I'm basically the CM Punk of my friends group. But 97% less cool.
Skinko Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 you get used to it after a while I guess so. It's never been something I've had to get used to though. My default setting is distant and quiet, and maybe a little abrasive.
quebecelegy Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 I guess so. It's never been something I've had to get used to though. My default setting is distant and quiet, and maybe a little abrasive. idk when i had some people you don't actually realize how exactly it feels until it's gone. they were really fun and great to be around, but idk if they were actual friends, they were either family, extended family, or kids of family friends that i somehow stumbled upon. i sometimes miss them, but realize i was probably never meant to be that kind of person to both them, and in general, i guess.
CAC Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 The few friends I've ever had don't talk to me anymore, they were just friends of convenience. Then there's my gf. I don't have anyone else really.

One of my old IRL friends called me up while I was walking to the bus today, but I didn't pick up because I was in lone wolf mode, perambulating in solitary lone wolf fashion toward the future. *looks up longingly at the night sky*
