This realization helped me a lot, Maybe it will help someone. else: I don’t have to be social. I don’t have to try hard to have interactions that just feel like small talk.
For me I just got tired of the same interactions of telling your stories. And overall lately feel no need for interpersonal human connection besides when it serves a function like asking if someone needs help at work. I do like random internet connections though.
Sometimes it’s just too painful and not smooth and as if everyone plays pretend. And i don’t wanna be loathing being an outsider or suffer post-conversation of how it was just yucky. Or the epitome of it: start believing that you actually need friends because everyone says so only to realize you have no need for it or any motivation to talk to others.
Lots of things are here to make you feel bad about yourself for being yourself. If you accept yourself no one can touch you.
And if you are antisocial and it does not fuck your life up, maybe there is nothing wrong with you. maybe human species is just changing

I have become very antisocial, I hardly leave the house and have no friends.. not even online. Anxiety is so bad I feel just unable to do anything and don’t want to it is too much to handle. And people suck
I think what you are saying is you don’t have to be social all the time, which I agree with. But when push comes to shove, you do have to have social skills. More specifically, I agree you don’t need friends to survive. It’s great to have friends. But still, a) you still have to know how to talk to other people and b) learn how to be on your own. That’s the point of this sub.
