Thanks Aspiring. No doubt it would be a huge benefit
! As you might have read I'm kinda working out and see what things I like to do. Unfortunately those are mostly (only?) solo activities.
In the unlikely event when I do go out (work dinner, going out with friends I met online and are in the country) even if it was a blast at the time, afterwards I feel like
"Why did I waste time on something that trivial?". And yes I do consider talking/going out/etc etc, with people I don't share basic interest with, a waste of time.
Just now I talk to her about my feelings concerning the whole topic. And all of a sudden, poof, she's idle and away. Clearly she doesn't take it very serious. Thats OK. Her choice. But I'm expected to be there when she's in need of support.
At the moment I'm struggling even to get out of the pit of despair called inactivity. Its hard to change even the most basic things when you have no idea into what you want to change them. Thing is, I don't go out and join a club, do volunteer work, go to a bar on my own, practice a team sport. Why? I just really don't care about those things somehow.
I can rant a full day about customer support and crappy web standards and at the same time can't be interested in who won this week match of [insert-sport]. There goes about half of the social contacts.
Read this article called
Rands In Repose: The Nerd Handbook. Pretty much all things I can relate to
. So were do introverts go? War-hammer-statue-sculpture-paint-shop thingy? No thanks. I'm not trying to be stubborn or anything. Just pointing out it isn't nearly as easy as
"Go outside and make friends" like some people say.
