I don't connect to others.

i've had a lot of bad friends and i feel dissapointed that i haven't met many down to earth normal people to associate with and be friends with on a constant basis.

i really don't like mean people or people who get their nards of and self-esteem by disrespecting others. i dont meet many people who are content to just be themselves or not full of bs enough to call other people out on it.

i guess i sound pretty paranoid or bitter but i'm really not. i'm not lonely or miserable. i am still happy and have a life and socialize with people. its just that i dont have any close friends.

sometimes i get desperate and hang out with people i would rather not. and then i reget the time i wasted and what i put up with.

all i want is to know some nice down to earth people who are honest and like to be direct, but who can also emphathize with what i've had to deal with if i chose to trust them.

but i don't trust people and i don't think people would understand what i've put up with. on the other hand i know that a lot of people would but most people act like they are too good to admit that or only want to evesdrop like creeps. its isolating.

i wonder if i'll always be alone and if i'll always have to put up with people's bs and cruelty and i think that i pretty much will and its an inescapable part of life.

    We all need to get together somehow and create our own state. A utopia for the sand and decent. I wish we could all meet and i envy the nerds who find nerdy friends or even egotists with their egotistic friends. We have No one with whom to be normal. It sucks. Wish i could change it somehow.

    I live in a large city with people that have varied beliefs about life. I work in a tiny town where everyone thinks the same. I would not DARE voice an opinion. I spend a lot of time in my office by myself. I didn't think people like these existed. They talk about violence all the time and how they wish someone would break into their house so they can shoot them. They are all exactly the same. My job offers tremendous benefits and at this stage of my life, I need them.

  • Most people are jerks. Find one or two people you like and forget about the rest.

    If you think you are hanging out with the wrong crowd, you need to drop them and go find a new group of friends. I used to hang out with people that I don't like or can't connect to, just so I can say that I have friends. Sometimes you just need to let go of what's wrong to look for the right ones. It's hard to find true friends, but if you believe and truly want to find that person, you will

    it's hard to find people that aren't dicks and that have plenty of free time to hang out.
    i definitely think you should stay away from people who are mean. i sometimes still hang out with mean people but then i am miserable afterwards. just avoid them - better to be alone than with jerks who make you feel bad about yourself.
    eventually you will meet people you connect with and you'll understand why people have friends - not for someone to waste time with but for someone you feel good hanging out with.

  • I'm in the exact same position you are in. If you're like me and you have no patience for idiots that are a waste of your time, then I think it's best to just wait to meet other (better, down-to-earth) people like yourself :) I know that it doesn't happen immediately, but eventually people will start to notice the type of person you are and they'll realize that they really enjoy being around you.

  • Sometimes you need to accept people for what they are. I have lots of bitchy friends an when they are mean or embarrass me I blow it off. Karma will get them and they are only embarrassing themselves by putting others down.
