RE: Hello there.
Indeed. But then you are admitting to being anti social. (Not anything bad IMO BTW Wink)

Sure Smile But most people who use the word 'anti-social' mean it negatively... and most people belong to that first group i mentioned. Smile

I find the same thing here where I live. If there are any substantive conversations at all, they are about just politics usually at quaint coffee shops by twenty-somethings whose loins ache for Che Guevara. My two favourite topics, philosophy and science, nobody ever wants to talk about.

In my books, it is a compliment—because I think the 'social' that's out there is worthy of being 'anti' about.

No, it makes most of society anti-social. In my experience, you've only got to look at society - to see how a great deal of it is anti-social. I'd rather socialize with awesome people.

Furthermore, I try to socialize with all - but a lot of people aren't capable of socializing unless you're bitching about others with them, it seems. It's all bullshit.

Also, I'm not going to talk bullshit small talk I've heard 10,000 times before and pretend it's interesting.

I can truly relate to that kind of shit from the public. They don't wanna talk properly, they don't wanna converse or discuss... they just wanna 'chat', or actually...more specifically: Bitch. Bitch about this and that.

Not all of course, but a LOT of people seem to be like that, it sucks. I prefer to seek out communities.

I completely, fully, totally and utterly wholeheartedly agree. Most of society is anti-social! That's what's laughable...and it's apparently anti-social if you don't socialize with them too well because you don't wanna talk shit like they do! Fuck that!

Awesome post Arcanus. Worthy of many Kudos, I can only give the one though Sad

The so-called 'social' out there, is indeed, worthy of being 'anti' about. I just don't mean it personally and keep it to myself unless it's constructive to let it out (in a non-personal way).

+1 Kudos to you ! Smile
