How's Your Social Life?

[Aesir23]

My social life is basically my friends on the internet and at school. I'm painfully shy, but I'm also not the type of person who likes doing some of the things people my age normally do on little outings.

So yeah, it's exactly how I prefer it right now.

Due to exams my social life has gone AWOL the last few weeks. My friends will have to make do without me. :/

My social life?
Wow, reading this makes me feel weird, because it doesn't really make me feel like a gamer.

I acctually just came back from a friends place like an hour ago, and he lives like ten minutes walk away, like a lot of my friends.
I can't really complain, I have friends at school, not the coolest crowd, but who cares, they're weird, I like them. And I also have my old friens located near me.
I regularly party or get together with them, and the most likley place you'll find me on a friday or saturday evening is with some friends, barely able to stand, beer in one hand, cigarett in the other.

Don't hate me for being a part of the crew.
Dude out.

I've just come back from boxing with some friends, I go twice a week. I also go to Youth Club on Thursdays and might meet up with some mates to watch a film. I don't have any friends at judo training, but I guess it's social interaction, right?

I guess I'm somewhat of a closet nerd.

No friends, very few memories of friends. I know one guy who e-mails me every once in awhile. He's a bit of a dick sometimes, so I don't make an effort to hang out with him. I'm out of school and out of work, so there are no opportunities right now. Surprisingly, I'm not as depressed as I was when I was still in school. I've always avoided situations that made me uncomfortable. If you never take risks, there are no rewards. I'm sure I don't play nearly as many video games as a social person who calls himself a gamer.

Quite good, thanks.

Most people know the typical stereotype of gamers and people who just sit on the internet; antisocial, no friends, and tend to be the outcast

And I like myself that way.It fits my life style of laziness and gaming.

 

[ninjapenguin981]

Great thanks. Although I don't 'go out' much, I have many friends at school, and get on with people perfectly well.

Currently it's not the greatest, as all my friends are studying spread across the country while I chose to stay where I am.
So I have to spend some time with my friends that are still in school, but they're not my best of friends. Mainly stay at home during the weekdays and perhaps go out 2 weekends a month or so.

I am in college where it gets so much better. Mind you not all your hopes and dreams are answered, but close.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

I'm pretty popular at my school, I'm not really into gaming as much as anybody else here.

I think I've been becoming less and less nerdy since I came on this site which seems quite strange.

Off topic:

... and I can in no way keep the average conversation going (i.e. a conversation about trivial shit)...

And why would you? Don't dispair, when the hell did it become an aquired skill to smalltalk about non essential 'shit' that you have no interest in. I did not get the memo where it stated "20 - 30 minutes a day should be reserved for comments about the weather". I'm quite sure the poeple i talk to about these things are in the same spot as me and can recognize at a general level primary conditions as rain, wind and temperature.

I consider the unability to keep a trivial discussion going as a sign of intellect.

Non-existent

People are Fuckwits

Biomedical Sciences BSc takes up about 50% of my 'awake time'. The rest is split between seeing my man, doing coursework and tending an empty bar. Don't really have friends outside of university but I've sort of accepted that. Sort of.

 

[dex-dex]

With my friends all off at college and myself getting tied up with school, practical time and part time job. one of my friends goes to the same college i do so i try and go out with him but he is just as much tied up with school stuff and parents who are trying to get him away from having a life outside of school.

but it shall pick up in about two weeks

While I appreciate the implied compliment, the lack of the "gift of gab" certainly doesn't help me.

 

[oveper]

Not great right now. I used to hang around with some friends who were a year older than me, but then they started high school and we sort of lost contact. We still play poker or watch movies and stuff like that sometimes, but for the most part the only socialising i do now is in school.

 

[sean.A7x]

Good

About a year ago i had a shit social life and was just friends with the "nerdy" unpopular people but about this time last year i started to be friends with more of the popular people and by last summer i nearly had a completely new set of friends i still talk to my old friends occasionally but i can't really be friends with both groups of people because my old friends are so irritatingly shy that when im with them and one of my other friends comes over they go completely silent and it just embarrassing

Then I humbly beg forgiveness, my intentions was not to belittle you in any way. I was just trying to illustrate the point that not keeping an interest in smalltalk might not be a bad thing.
