I'm stunned at how much most people talk & need to socialize IRL

I've gone the last 15 years barely saying a word to anyone. I am about as isolated as the unabomber (without the bombs of course) and speak maybe 50 words per day. Can't stand crowds or small talk.

How do people socialize for 5 hours straight and not get bored. Lady I know speaks minimum 20,000 words a day, it's not stop. Blows my mind that people need to chit chat ****ing constantly like they're going to die if they stop.

Women do not except except feeding off of others' social stuff, for the most part.

Having traveled the world. I think it's a generational thing.


I can go to 2nd / 3rd tier Japan or Taiwan and I have Grandpas and Grandmas speaking to me in gibberish or broken English and asking me for photos. While everyone under 40 is shy as phuck or doesn't say a word.


Likewise at supermarkets around the world if there's a lineup it's due to 50+ year old female hambeasts forcing conversations on young cashiers. STFU granny and move on I got things to do like watch YouTubes and read the TikThot sub on Reddit

I agree if it's a boring, superficial conversation. If you get to a deeper level, though, a good conversation can go on for hours easily.

I had a conversation with this one dude and he would ask me a question only to cut me off while I was replying to his question. This happened a couple of times and I got so annoyed that I asked him if he loved the sound of his voice and if he masturbated to it.

People in general are pathetic and constantly seeking validation. Evidence: Tik tok. You have age 18-60 year old people making dance videos to the likes of what 5 year olds were doing back in the 90s. You know how we grew out of that? Yeah, these people didnt/cant.

It’s actually shocking that people are still able to communicate at all in person. I think by the year 2050 we would all communicate telepathically
if you ain't got no money, this is about to be a real short conversation, you dig?

true, some boomers at work have retold their same stories forgetting they already told them to us. Stories about chit from the 1970s. I thought they had an amazing memory having all these details from something so long ago but realized they just been retelling the same stories every 6 months for 40 years

i find that people's words don't even register in my head for me to have a conservation, think it's an automatic filter that my biological response system recognizes most people are too inferior to speak to me and switches on

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

I hate them. They don’t have a right to make shrieking, whooping, and screaming noises while clapping loudly and making guffaw noises at the workplace.

Like srsly, crack your gum elsewhere and just STFU

Hate when I ask someone how they are doing or how their weekend was, and they proceed to tell me every single detail about it. A fine or good would have been great. Also, amazes me how people are so quick to get very personal. People I work with but don’t know that well will tell me about their health issues, their relatives health issues, etc. I never get into my personal issues with work people.

This sounds like every 1 on 1 I have with my boss

We talk about our weekends, I spend maybe 20-30 seconds and he will talk for 15 minutes at least

Same. I don’t get how or why people talk constantly about bullchit day in day out.

Probably 85% of my break time at work is spent not talking to anyone. Do people actually enjoy talking about such trivial bullchit? Blows my mind

I don’t really do it anymore. “Oh here we go, more small talk” or I can just sit by myself. Gimme a stimulating conversation or none at all

Sometimes it’s okay to just chill

"hey guys I only want to talk about deep, stimulating conversations otherwise I don't say anything" - Miscers.

You realize you have to make small talk to get to the deeper and meaningful stuff? Yea you may have to do that for a more than 5-10 min to get there and it takes skills to do that actually.

Are you going to say " Hello, what's the meaning of life?"

People self identify as thus and so and then, after having said, "this is me" they get a weird sense of pride. OP reeks of the "us" and "them" mentality. What he doesn't seem to understand is that it's all about your circumstances.
Example: if OP was a celebrity, he'd talk to people all day. He wouldn't scorn human conversation like he does.
Weird flex.
Yet, I did the same damn thing in years past. I thought of myself as somehow superior because I cockblock like a damn linebacker. I blast past any number of people without saying a word, even when they're trying to talk (my daddy figure was literally a pro defensive end in the NFL). I still do this and can't seem to stop. Missed some nice opportunities. This not talking to people habit isn't actually a good thing because humans are glorious. Talking to them does bring joy. That's why any of us are here on this forum.
If you are a complete dummy like I was, and you tell yourself that you are special because you hurt yourself by not talking to people, you are coping with the actual hurt of living life alone. Be honest about it. What you are doing is retreating behind ego to ease the pain of denying the genetic need to be social. Why does one deny the body's needs? This behavior defect is a consequence of being ready for a physical altercation for long stretches of time.
"What the FUKK YOU LURKING AT, KUNT?" kinda of stance. It comes from expecting yet another kick in the nads. What is shows is a cowardly mentality. This pussy-assed habit is one that I hope to break because I don't intend on spending my life as a weakling.
