Trying.

From the eyes of somebody who does it a little too hard, I'm beginning to think it doesn't solve anything at all. As a matter of fact, it's pretty freakin' counter productive. Because, turns out, life doesn't get awesome when you start making friends. Nothing magical happens when you "get the girl" (or guy). Life doesn't suddenly get better when you get promoted. Or win the lottery, etc etc.

I feel like I've reduced my standards. Like I've signed my soul over to the world. I absolutely can't find happiness outside of myself like so many others can. What. The. Hell.

I doubt anyone can relate. It was just on my mind... lol

Social interaction isn't always fun, but you need to endure a lot of boring scenarios in order to get a chance at the real fun ones. For instance I don't like playing poker, but if I want to be friends with these people and go out on Saturday nights with them, and meet their friends, and make more friends, I need to play poker with them, or see a movie or watch a football match with them I couldn't care less about. For us SA suffers many relationships are built on hardwork and enduring monotonous things.

I can see doing that sort of thing on occasion, but not making that the norm. Like even if you don't like poker, maybe giving that group of friends a shot on poker night... but not continuously doing something you hate just to keep from being alone. I seriously think I'd rather be alone than be that desperate.

Hey, be happy you have friends. And I can relate to that emptiness, you're missing something but you don't know what, you wish something amazing would happen like you see a mermaid or something. And you're kinda tired, can't explain it, just tired. But hey, we only have one life to live, try to make the best of it.

Oh god!......I always got invites to poker nights, and many other "fun" nights out. I have never been interested in all the social interaction.
