You have issues...

There's a difference between being an introvert and being antisocial. I think to many people justify basically being *******s by calling themselves introverts. Its just not normal. And, this is coming from someone who spent most of his life disliking other people. It's really a fear of other people and feelings of inadequacy.
I don't enjoy most peoples company all that much because most people are uncritical and have shallow views and opinions and boring conversation. Not enjoying someones company isn't reason enough to dislike someone though. It's just a reason not to spend that much time in thier company. You can still treat people with kindness, friendliness and a degree of respect, all of which comes from being able to treat yourself the same way first.

Thing is I am a social person, I crave it... but things did not work out for me.. I have a very rare condition and I have yet to meet someone with the same condition as me.
 
I dont know.

Everyone knows how to fix things wrong with a person.
But like discussed already, nothing is wrong here.

Not everyone has to be the same as the next person, I am content with my own company and I do not like to go out to places I do not enjoy or feel comfortable in. then at the same time I want to meet a partner to alleviate some 'frustrations' I have inside.

I do not treat people bad, I am an honest good spirited person who feels like an outcast at times.
And I realized while reading a post a few pages back that I should be happy with myself and comfortable with being a loner.
I guess being alone sometimes makes me feel inadequate in the standards of the majority of society.

But F'em

Thanks everyone for the great views on the topic.

Geez why is a shrink always the answer? Why don't people who enjoy going out need drugs and shrinks? Rubbish i say.

you don't wanna go out? Hmmmm here have some drugs and come to sessions with me and i will magically fix you even though there is nothing wrong. Bunch of BS.

Yea i love sports, i spend most of my time gaming and watching sport :D.

For "frustration" there are prozzies or pronz.
A partner is a real person with feelings and their own view of life.

So you can only meet people If you put yourself out , life is a participatory sport (registered trademark dont steal it)

So it starts by being nice to the first to last person when you leave your house. This is how I met my wife true story.
 
I never get invited to Braai's! Very interesting thread, i find some similarities, some. One thing I do know is that anti depressants will not help you! I find myself critical of alot of things and i analyze from many different angles, it's tiring and yes you are a dick but hey so be it, so am i :-)
 
i also like observing people and not having to use caps for my 'i's if i dont wanna. Like when i have been to a club, I would use earplugs :-) and watch them and wonder why I didnt enjoy (as much) what they were, probably cos i'm critical, not sure but maybe i dont want to develop deep meaningful relationships based on fear, trust issues and that they may want my favourite hoody
 
and Zolpidem doesnt work either but i know all too well tomorrow i wil be dazed
 
You don't need pills. You need a new outlook. Depression is usually a disease of privilege.

WTF is this all about, you watched earplugs at a club or what? I might be tired but this post makes about as much sense as why we all exist :D.
 
Reading this whole thread made me realise I am not alone. Can relate to op, but I am on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety pills.
