i literally havent been close to anyone irl since like
year 11 in highschool
@terryenglish idk im boring and annoying and probably have other deep character flaws that are why no one enjoys me being around

@pie Do you think that your insecurities my cause you to keep people at a distance?

@terryenglish i suck at talking to people unless i already know them but other than that no
people just get sick of me
@pie @terryenglish y let other people, most likely broken or malicious, dictate how you feel about yourself? Stahp that. :blobcatumm:
@RehnSturm256 @terryenglish if a whole bunch of people have called me annoying and boring for years, and every person ive been close to eventually gets sick of me, i think thats undeniable evidence
Follow

@pie You need to start picking the people you're close to more carefully. @RehnSturm256

@terryenglish @RehnSturm256 not really much choice
since i started uni the only people ive been at all close to ive met entirely by chance at events
i don't relate to anyone ive met at uni at all

@pie In fairness a lot of people at universities are insufferable shit heads. @RehnSturm256

@terryenglish @RehnSturm256 i dont know anyone in my course as everyone just keeps to themselves, and while my social anxiety isnt as bad as it used to be, i cant just start talking to total strangers
and the other people i know from basically drinking events are either all obsessed with politics or just not people i have enough in common with to enjoy hanging out with most of the time
people just talk about the most asinine things and somehow enjoy that. theres no depth at all

@pie People are guarded and you really have to work to get to know people well nowadays. @RehnSturm256

@pie @terryenglish ew, uni?
Oh boy... I could tell you horror stories... Most colleges were just "Highschool Part 2" for me. Except, now in college which has more stakes, peoples' awfulness &... Machiavellian machinations, as I'd call them... became more apparent.

I would suggest you try to bond less with drinking events, and more so with clubs on campus imo.
@RehnSturm256 @terryenglish it sucks because i live really far from uni so getting to and from things takes forever and most club things are short notice and don't go very long, its a lot of effort traveling 4 hours for a one or two hour club thing
plus there aren't really any clubs i find super interesting either, but thats secondary, if going wasnt such a pain there's some that i would go to

@pie Damn 4 hours? That sucks. What about local activities where you live? @RehnSturm256

@pie @terryenglish ouch, that commute... Yeah maybe find local things like Terry suggested :blobcatgrimacing:
