I discarded a lot of people since they were basically leaches. The remainder wanted sex and I didn't feel like putting in that effort. Now I having a life problem and I feel like having freinds might help but I don't really have any. Is being alone bad?
Anyone who says it's bad is a liar.
No, being alone isn't "bad". People just act like they can't even go a couple of days without someone else being there with them so they think everyone else needs to be the same way.
If you want friends or a partner but not to put in the effort in any real way then technically you’re the leech lol.
I’m split on this one. On one hand you must learn to enjoy your own company, but I agree with others that complete isolation is bad for you. We are social creatures, humans. Even us introverts, although we won’t admit it, also require some interaction and human touch.
Again isolation means you never interact with outside world. Most people have a job where they interact with others qnd so are not isolated. There is a difference. I have a job yes.
I mean I think you are projecting your personal feelings on others. Also I meant having freinds are useful in practical situations such as when you are being harrased. Also there is a difference between solitary confinement and not having freinds.
Ah, I getcha so what you’re really asking about is support networks through people, not just the choice of whether to be alone or not.
Yeah well in that case yeah, I think there is alot to gain from community and having help around you, yeah. It’s good to maintain relationships like that, give a little and get a little in return. Some people may cope by being fiercely independent and highly competent. Depends on the size of the life problem, I guess.
There no such thing as isolation. We don't live in a prison. Some of us have jobs.
Coworkers can provide some nice social interaction, but unless you're hanging out with them outside of work they're not technically friends
I'd say that being alone *can* be bad but it isn't a bad thing in and of itself. Some introverts thrive on being alone
Since I drive a truck I've noticed that dispite being an introvert I still get starved for normal conversation. I'll take 3 hours to talk to you about random things because realistically I dont talk longer than 2 minutes on the jobsite.
Something I'm overwhelmingly fine with. I dont need a painted volleyball yet.
