"Why Are You So Anti-social?"

[ad5x5]

Every single one I've been to quickly decended into this, hence why I left every single one to do something more constructive with my time.

To be honest I just don't like parties regardless of whats going on in them, the music is always too loud and everybody drinks and thus ends up intoxicated to one degree or another. I just don't see why I should wish to be around that when I could be doing something I actually enjoy.

most of the parties I go to are more low key - a few drinks around, but most people are mature enough to know when thye've had enough, so stop before we get to see their drinks for a second time. music in one room, but not so loud that the whole house shakes and a room that's quieter so an actual conversation can occur.

PS. what does "Carpe Testiculum, Quod Roto" mean? My latin is only good enough to get Day's balls,....

"So it's a choice between sitting with you and losing half of my brain cells by watching reality TV and Loose Women, and playing this awesomely fun game with an awesomely complex moral choices while talking to my friends on MSN? I think you know the answer

 

[rex922]

Many people say i am.
I attribute it to my total lack of charisma.
Also the fact that i am such a boring person

 

[Jiggabyte]

Realistically, "because."
I socialise, just not in the ways a lot of people my age do, I suppose. My idea of fun doesn't really include getting drunk (or otherwise) or having sex with someone I don't know. Even my gaming and time online, which most people state as "anti-social", usually involves talking to people somehow. PSN message conversations alone form a notable amount of social interaction.
Fair point, though. I have periods where I really just want to be alone and it happens far too frequently to excuse, I guess.

 

[SextusMaximus]

I'm very social, but my disregard for human life has been seen as somewhat depressed, thus impacting on a few people's opinions of me.

I was only quoting anyway; "1 death is a tragedy, 1000 is a statistic"

 

[CZS PublicEnemy]

I'm not antisocial, I just don't fucking like you.
Seems to work for me pretty well.

 

[manicfoot]

I can't participate in things I think are meaningless... Can't do small talk, so that puts a lot of people off. Also, if I meet someone and don't know them I have no idea what to talk about so quite a lot of the time I'm a walking awkward silence or I panic and say something offensive like "I'm pretty sure you won't get raped tonight *thumbs up*"

 

[Pimppeter2]

My mom and brother pull that shit on me alot.

I do go out, a lot. But apparently to them not enough.

 

[aruseusx]

I'm anti-social because I suffer from asperger's syndrome.

Also because I find that most people are idiots.

My brother has it too. It also didn't help that he was bullied his entire childhood. (He was diagnosed when he was 3 so don't say he read wikipedia)

I try to be social, but I can't stand the party thing were they play music really loud.

I just came to a realisation :
Loud music + large cramped space = inability to have meaningful conversations with strangers destroying the possibility of becoming future friends/lovers and making nerds hermits or hating parties.

But as the song New Horizon's by Lord states:
So long ago/I chose this lonely road/To follow new horizons/So far to roam/A million miles from home/So many more to go?

 

[Chipperz]

I usually reply "because all I ever meet are pricks who keep trying to peddle faux-cynicism and a hatred for humanity that, if they actually meant it, would have left them dead in a ditch a long time ago."

And then I come online, realise that everyone's the same and just try to cope with what I've got.

Funny, true, but if you are person I am thinking of then it's also a little hypocritical, based off how aggressive you can be.

Thing is, while I won't deny that I'm quite an agressive person, I'm also very aware that the whole "I think everyone else is stupid, and I hate everything and wish everyone was dead" thing is just a massive act. If it was true, then everyone who thought like that would be a hermit in a cave, living off the land and the sweat of their brow. Or dead.

Plus, I went through that phase when I was twelve too. I grew out of it by thirteen, though.

 

[Terramax]

"Because I don't like wasting my time and money going to pubs and clubs drinking overpriced, chilled piss and dancing to shitty techno and R&B music." usually works for me.

I also question these people on how playing videogames instead of watching X Factor and Britain's Got Talent all day makes me any more antisocial than everyone else?

Anyway, I thought 'anti-social' was when you did something out-of-line or illegal like break other people's cars and start fights. I thought 'unsocial' would be more accurate for this kind of thing?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

"you're anti, you're antisocial!"

Man I love Anthrax.

I'm actually quite sociable, I'm just lazy sometimes, or hungover.

 

[Ben Jamin]

"I'm not anti-social, I just hate talking to you as you are incapable of independent thought"

I'd rather just stay silent and think.

 

[IamQ]

When I get it I just say that I hang around with people but don't talk alot. Whenever we are talking, I only say things every now and then, because I've got nothing to say otherwise. Why the hell should I just talk for the sake of using my mouth?

I agree to an extent, but hating everyone and everything doesn't mean you would sacrifice comfort based upon that principle. If a vegetarian had the choice between eating meat and starving to death then they would (I hope) eat meat. While some people may hate others, they still have to rely on them to get by, but that wouldn't change how they feel.

That said, this doesn't make any difference to the multitude of people who most definitely think misanthropy is cool (a little like apathy was a few years back) and so like to go on about how much of a socio-path they are (this one confuses me especially, as anyone who is a socio-path wouldn't feel the need for friends, and yet most of them clearly have friends).

 

[Bernzz]

I get asked why I'm antisocial when I actually try to go to every fucking social event I can manage.

So what if while I'm at home I rarely emerge from my room? I'm socialising with my fucking friends that I enjoy being around and talking to over MSN.

[small]Sorry for the rant, folks, I'm just sick of being called antisocial.[/small]

 

[Toaster Hunter]

I am asked "Why do you hate people? My response "Because they ask me stupid questions."

Noise canceling headphones ease all woes. Woop! Just turn them up and it's like outside isn't real.
