There are so many reasons for it, that I don't think I could possibly explain it all in one post even if I felt like going indepth…

In the end though, I suppose individual happiness is what matters most, so if you're truly happy with the way your life is, then keep on doing your thang. Chances are though, that you could probably become even happier just by being a little bit more social. You don't know what sorts of experiences you're missing out on.

I enjoyed my last fast-food job solely because there was one man who would come in every evening without fail, sit down with a book, and read for the rest of the night. He was a kindly, well-shaven, older homeless man who was apparently a regular long before I began. Further inquiry revealed him to have been an engineer at some point, as well as a physicist. One of his books was on advanced vector calculus, another electrodynamics. He would sometimes help my younger friend with her homework. We three frequently found ourselves arguing science and philosophy when business was slow and there was time to kill. I took great pleasure in explaining to and speculating with him on the sci-fi we'd read, as the both of us had a penchant for the stuff (mine spilling dangerously into work, as he would be quick to note).

Point being, even an asocial, apathetic recluse like myself can genuinely enjoy human contact in the rare event someone really worthwhile comes along. Normally my interaction is limited to a few anonymous boards and an IRC channel here or there. But even then, I'm largely indifferent.

Because we can't live without socializing to some extent. (beware, long text ahead with very bad english)

We need to eat, drink, sleep. We don't want to be killed or hurt. Also, it would be nice to have some kind of certitude regarding our food and shelter. Thus society.

Humans aren't strong and we own the Earth and other species just because we can make tools with other tools and communicate with each others.

We can go back to being hunters and hermits but it is not quite easy these days. First of all, others must acknowledge your right to hunt, or you will be thrown into jail. Then, to build your shelter, they must acknowledge your right to use a piece of land. In some countries, you must get an authorization to build on your land otherwise they'll destroy it.

Society has become overly complex and restrictive to make sure almost everybody can eat, drink, sleep and be safe. And if you don't abide by its laws, you'll be thrown into jail or rejected.

For instance, you need to buy your food instead of killing your neighbor and eat him/her. Also, stealing from a local farmer is frowned upon.

Of course, being the least sociable as possible just mean that you'll go out to buy food, get your unemployment check and pretend to seek a job so you'll continue to get money while doing nothing.

So I ask, is being more sociable than the bare minimum useful? If you're here, you enjoy talking with people like you (I assume we're all alike somewhat) and you enjoy discovering new things thanks to people on the internet (being sociable to the minimum = no internet, it's full of people here).

It's cause everyone needs some degree of social interaction to truly be happy. Just how much is idea can vary a good deal from person to person though, and some have higher standards than others.

To anyone who thinks they'd truly be fine with no social interaction at all, lemme ask you this.

When not socializing, do you do anything with a story, like playing videogames, watching TV, or reading books? If so, how many of those things have characters in them? While those characters obviously aren't real people, watching and interacting with them is still like a social experience in certain regards.

How's the idea of having no interaction with people or animals, real OR fake sound to all of you? If you wanted, you could make that even more extreme by saying that would includes anything with text, since even boring explanatory stuff is like a human talking to you.

Personally, while it might make me feel somewhat depressed, I don't think it'd be too hard to go a month or so with no interaction with any real people or animals. But going that long without interaction from creatures real OR fake sounds pretty horrible.

It was, but then the author turned out to be fairly good at generic VN plots.

The full official English version comes out soon. And there's a Winter short story special out in Japanese?

I'm practically aromantic for the most part. I don't really care for relationships, and the ones I have participated in often end due to a lack of care and such on my part. As far as a lover goes, I haven't had one in over a year now. The few I've been interested in, I often analyze to the point where I dislike them with a very great passion. There are those whom I flirt with unconditionally [tsuncello on IRC is a very good example] however that's not really anything.
With that said, I absolutely love my life. It's an easy life when I compare it to others, and I'm happy about that. I don't want to have a hard life, or even a hard job where I'm stressed out 24/7. I'd rather stick with my low-end job and do my hobbies as I enjoy.
In short. Forever-alone but I'm happy this way.

Well that is okay too.
But, of course life is different for me, as I am a senior.
I do not plan to be a guy that has no time for play, but I really do not want to be a NEET either, honestly. I am sure I will have time to do neety things during err… free time. heheh

Human Psychology is also one of my interests as well. I find it more than enjoyable to read and learn about. However my interests put me more on the "Con" side of things. The Matsumoto method is my personal favorite part of Psychology.

I kinda thought it was more likely for someone to comment on the girlfriend. (feelsgoodmna.jpg) Anyways, my family, as fucked in the head as they are, lead me to gain an interest in abnormal psychology. … I mean seriously, it's like I was raised by the fucking cast of Evangelion.

Bumping for extreme relevance.
Cromartie High School is an awesome, hilarious show, it is nothing like what the art style will lead you to believe. It isn't something to take seriously, but it is entertaining and humorous in ways that you rarely see in a comedy anime.

If you haven't watched it yet, you really need to, seriously, you're missing out.

Watch the English dub, though; you'll never be able to keep up with the pace of the JP dub. (Don't worry, the English dub is great.)

I can't imagine what that's like. I'm not exactly a NEET myself, I do go out and associate with people, because I have to. But I don't have real friends, and I never feel good being around other people. I'm happy when I am alone, but it still bothers me.

Anonymous 12/23/11 (Fri) 12:27:32 No.451

I make the attempt to hang out with girls; currently my goal is to get beyond the first meeting and reach dinner and a movie stage. It's tough, but it does create a certain emotional outlet—especially when meeting girls from other cultures who tend to be more isolated themselves.

Anonymous 12/31/11 (Sat) 14:57:01 No.474

I can't stand it anymore, i'm so tired of it. it's so empty and unfulfilling. I have no dreams but i still dont feel good at all. i feel absolutely horrible and i wish there was a way out. i wish it was easier. but it's hard because of why it's hard, so it's just nightmaremode hard to get out. and its like, what do i even do anyway? where do i go? how do i start to get out?…

but when i start making progress again it's just so tempting to come back. because it's "easy". because i know what's going to happen and i know how to go through these same motions. because i know how to continue like this, because it's what i've really only known.

Some days I'm ecstatic to be a NEET and love every moment of it.
Other days it's miserable and slow and I want to be doing something more.

My dreams for the future are not far from what I live now though, I'd just rather live alone than be a burden on my parents.

Um, two months. When I moved out of my parents' house, I didn't have the money for it. :( It sucked, especially since I had just gotten into Homestuck, haha. I kept sneaking over to my parents' and going to the library. Really, though…? I think I was more productive in those two months, than I have been before or after. ;____;

I barely used internet until 5 years ago, when I became addicted. I've had times where the internet company was being a bitch, or where I moved to a place with fucked up service, and had lost it for a few months. I mainly watched movies and read books, but, something still kinda felt empty because the internet is the only place I can talk to one of my very best friends.
