Be me

>I mean, I already had no friends, social life, or romance life. But holy fuck, this is even more depressing. At least when I was my parents home I had my parents in the house and could interact/talk with them. At the apartment I have nothing, just total silence. I hear the hum of the air conditioner and that's about it, and I do have my computer/TV/video games to entertain me, but it still feels so depressing.
I couldnt live on my own past 4 months. It's like depression on steroids.

I have a cute fluffy doggy, but he lives at my parents house. Also my apartment requires a $100 deposit on pets, so getting one would cost me more money. I've also never been a cat person. I don't hate cats, but I always preferred dogs. Though I do agree cats are much more low maintenance, and don't require as much as a dog I suppose.

Fucking normalfaggot. I grew up in an abusive household. It took me years after moving out to stop getting anxious when I heard people walking up a staircase. I love my apartment, even though it's ungodly expensive. It's my safe refuge. I can do whatever the hell I want. If I wanted to put all my possessions in the dumpster tomorrow and start sleeping on the floor naked I could do that. If I wanted to hang weeb posters on every inch of the walls and ceiling I could do that.
I will never go back to living with other people. It's expensive but my god is it worth it. I deal with people's bullshit all day at work, I don't want to come home to brand new bullshit and fuckups.

go to a bar
talk to women
eventually one will be interested
invite her to your place
fuck her

it's that fucking simple

i remember my first night i spent in an apartment alone with no one to talk to, i cried

feels bad man

>it's that fucking simple
t-thanks Chad.

I've spent pretty much every night alone in my apartment for 2 years minus like 10 days. It gets better/easier pretty fast.

OP here, I figured this was the case. It's a new environment and like with anything you need to adapt and get use to it. I'm sure after about 6-8 weeks it basically feels like home. I figured the first month is always awkward, of course some people adjust much faster than others.

This except it only gets harder and worse. Moreover, the bigger your place, the worse the effect is.

I pay $525 with roommates. Getting my own apartment would be like $800-$1000 and I already hate working so I'm not getting my own space anytime soon. Plus I already don't pay for a car because I can't drive. Seems so beyond me.

I do like hearing my roommates do stuff though. The hum of the dryer, smell of coffee in the morning, a short of warm feeling.

They can be loud at times though.

I was in a similar situation and was considering moving on my own but I was fearing the scenario you just found yourself in.
It sucks man. I always thought that I don't need people but ever since I got some attention from 2 women at my office and we became closer I now know that I would really want to be with someone. Just have someone to cuddle with, someone who would support me, to laugh and have fun with.
There's an important part of human experience which we're missing, and the more I think about it the darker are the colors of my future.

Pussy. I pay $1600 and I have enough money saved up to maintain this with no income for the next 6 years.

>Pussy. I pay $1600 and I have enough money saved up to maintain this with no income for the next 6 years.
fuck off richfag

Co-habitation is a slippery slope to me. It has it's pros and cons, and you have to decide if the pros outweigh the cons. I pay $800 a month for my apartment, but I get the whole place to myself. Now of course my apartment is a loft with only one bedroom so you really couldn't have a roommate in a loft, unless they slept in the tiny living room downstairs, and even then there isn't much room down there for a couch, let alone a loveseat.

It also depends on your roommate/roommates. If they're rambunctious and loud then you'll be miserable. Some roommates are a nightmare to live with, so having a private place to yourself has benefits. Also you don't have to worry about them bringing some girl home and listening to them bang her all night at least. Privacy can be a big asset to some people.

>tfw 1400 rent and 600/month in student loans
A-at least I don't need a car.

That's why you don't move out until you have a gf.

Just be honest with your parents, I'm sure they wouldn't want you to be lonely.

>How do you guys combat this?

I developed an interesting hobby that puts me in contact with people. I also invested myself into my workplace culture.

Having a space of your own is really, really nice if it's contrasted with social activity out in the world.

what hobby puts you in contact with people?

Not him but
>the gym
>any sport
>music

Of course you have to put in some effort as well.

>the gym
>any contact with people ever
t. literally never been to a gym
>music
>any contact with people ever
t. never put headphones on in his life
>sport
>any contact with people PRIOR TO BEING ABLE TO START THE FUCKING SPORT IN THE FIRST PLACE
Now you're just trolling, it's too obvious.

I know exactly how you feel OP. It wears off with time. If you live in a nice area, one thing that really helped me was taking walks. The WORST thing you can do is cope via developing a habit for junk food/alcohol/etc.

I had a similar experience moving out on my own for the first time, but now I doubt I could stand sharing a house with anyone ever again.

Wanna know what I do?

I hit the bars and only go home to sleep.

>the gym
>any contact with people ever

I sometimes smoke weed with this dude I met in the gym.

>t. never put headphones on in his life
I meant learning an instrument you fegit.

>any contact with people PRIOR TO BEING ABLE TO START THE FUCKING SPORT IN THE FIRST PLACE

What the fuck does that even mean?

If you're gonna ask for advice, don't start making excuses like a fag when it's given to you.

>learning an instrument
Literally even less likely to make contact with anyone in that case, holy shit fuck off normalnigger. Go larp somewhere else.

>Literally even less likely to make contact with anyone in that case

Oh yeah because you've tried it before, right?

>wahh me so lonely pls give advice you guys ;_;
>gets advice and shits all over you

A piece of shit like you deserves to be lonely.
Have a nice night hugging your pillow lol

>normalshit comes here to virtue signal
>gets angry and reveals his true nature as a cruel, petty piece of shit when he gets told to fuck off with his shitty """advice"""
Not OP but unironically kill yourself, faggot

Yes you fucking inbred normaltardnigger. I am a violonist and where did I meet anyone? Oh that's right, fucking nowhere. Kill yourself.

Also buy a gun, you know have a place to die peacefully.

Get cat/dog/animal who will keep you company/go out and get friends.

>get something that will demand your attention and money so you can never forget that your only companion is a barely sentient parasite because you failed to attract a woman
>just be a normalnigger lmao it's so easy just bee yourself XD

I'm a 26 year old khv that's been on this godforsaken website for over 10 years, I'm far from a normalfag.
I'm simply outing you as the excuse-making niggerfaggot that you are.

>shits over genuine advice
>get called out for being a bitch
>wahhhh why are you being so cruel to me? ;_;

Seriously? That shit may have worked on your parents but I see right through your bullshit.

So you were the only person there?

I told you I'm not OP you literal retard, I'm just calling you out on your abhorrent posts.
>dude learn to play music lmao counts as genuine advice now
Ok

what the fuck is "there" supposed to mean you clinically retarded lobsterhead. Holy shit you don't even know what learning an instrument involves and still you're spouting your completely normalnigger nonsense. Kill yourself.

''There'' being the place where you fucking learned the instrument?

You are OP, I told you I can see through your bs.
Also what the fuck kind of advice did you expect?
To materialize your waifu through the law of attraction?

Jesus fucking christ you really don't even begin to have a clue what it means to learn an instrument. Holy fucking shit are you 7 years old? Wow. Just wow. Even a lobotomized toddler is more knowledgeable and smarter than you. How the fuck did you pull that off?

roommates can be fun if they respect that youre living with them in a shared environment. if not theyll ruin you

>You are OP
Holy fucking shit kill yourself you dumb fucking inbred cockwipe
How do you even have the brainpower to breathe

I know this anger is just the result of your unwillingness to face your problems.

You convince yourself that I'm just a retard who doesn't know shit so you won't have to leave your comfort zone, until someone comes along with magical advice that will fix all of your problems--which of course only exists in your mind.

I'm only trying to help, but only YOU can make the first step.

Just get out and walk around your city. Explore nearby parks. Find a quiet coffee shop.

Do you just want to see/hear people or actually interact with them? If the later maybe join a book club or take a class at a community college to learn something fun.

Are dumb as a rock or merely pretending?

No shit answer? Volunteer at the VA or a local soup kitchen.

You can also get a pet. Most places won't let you have a puppy but a cockatiel you can usually get away with.

That proves nothing.
And even if you aren't OP, you're obviously wrestling with the same problems and you both would rather run away from them than to face them.

>How do you guys combat this?
I moved back in with my parents. I hate this though so I'm going to try and get a roommate I think.

Shut the fuck up dumbass, not everyone who disagrees with you is samefagging.
>wrestling with the same problems
>implying
I'm wrestling with the prospect someone as fucking braindead as you can exist
The only reason I gave you a (you) in the first place was to point how how utterly retarded your post was, has nothing to do with my personal problems I don't even live alone or want friends

Same except I don't even have a job or degree lmao

Again shitting on someone who's simply trying to help.

What kind of advice did you expect? One where you won't have to leave your comfort zone?

You're the only one who's being dumb right now.

So since you're such a genius who knows everything, why aren't you giving OP advice from the infinite well that is your knowledge?

>strawmanning this hard
I know it's difficut to get these three neurons of yours fired up, but I never stated I had good advice for OP
I simply said that yours is shit

Wtf did I walk into? I'm just trying to make some suggestions here. When I moved to my first apartment I was lonely af too. Walking around the neighborhood I discovered some parks and it really helped to just go walk and explore.

When I moved out on my own I always had the TV on or random YouTube videos running just to hear something. I ended up moving back in though.

If you can't think of anything useful to say then why are you even in this thread?

You're either in this thread because you want to give advice, which you've now made clear isn't the case. Or you're here because you were looking for advice because you're in a similar situation, and are now shitting on the advice-givers because you're too afraid to face your fears.

I'm in this thread because I saved the OP pic
Don't try to sound intelligent

These people can't be helped.
When the simple notion of getting out of the comfort zone is suggested they simply lash out at you instead...like a trapped animal attacking its savior.

You can save a pic without entering a thread.
You can't fool me.

>Don't try to sound intelligent

Classic projection.

Ok so I'm not allowed to read the fucking thread if I just came for the pic lmao
What a dumb fuck you are holy shit
I'm starting to think you might just be pretending

Why would you read a thread that doesn't interest you in the slightest?

Because I relate to OP's material situation but not the way he feels about it, so it piqued my interest? Fuck you nigger, don't tell me what I'm supposed to do

So what gives you the right to shit on my advice? Have you tried it yourself and failed?

Because you're spouting a bunch of self-righteous platitudes
This is getting boring, here's your last (you)

Okay, have fun exerting your superiority complex in another thread.

I wish I could live alone.

I'm 26 and living with grandmother. I want to live alone but I don't have a job. I think my plans of writing amazon erotica and making enough to pay a rent will never happen.
But I just want to be alone, because living with family has been a hell since I remember.

go get a night job somewhere... they are chill and low pressure, low volume of work often.

Work at a 24/7 restaurant would be best, like a arbys or mcdonalds... those will be busy so you will have a constant task to do and you wont have to worry about getting into social situations..

What will you do when she dies? You are gonna have to work eventually, longer u put it off, the harder it will be and your going to find most of the things you worry about at the job arent going to be a problem.

You may even make a friend, the longer u isolate, the longer your psychosis grows.

I recently moved into my first apartment, in a new city. One of the first things I did was join a boardgaming/tcg-gaming group and started hanging out with them. I think I'm gonna be OK :)

I empathize with you OP

>22
>virgin
>just signed leasing agreement for apartment
>paying extra money to live in a nice place, all by myself because the other residences in town are shit-tier

What am i in for?

I would love to have a night job. I applied for a few, but they didn't call me for an interview...

I'm trying to do other stuff meanwhile. I'm somewhere in the middle of a biology degree (got back to college recently) and taking a free course on business intelligence. I hope I can get a job at a lab at some point, it's likely that I'd have to do an internship next year anyway.

>What will you do when she dies?
idk, I've often thought I'd kill myself if I end up homeless. It's not because I would be scared of being homeless, is just that I'm not particularly exciting about being alive either.

Get an ugly practice girlfriend, it'll kill time and you won't be as nervous because you won't care as much about making her like you.

The key to women is a bizarre one because it's almost like a riddle of sorts. Once you don't like them they like you and if you make it too apparent that you like them then they lose interest. It's a balancing act of letting her know you want them around but without seeming too clingy and needy for her attention/affection because you are a self reliant man in finance and self fulfillment.

Fuck off normalhomo. Don't come back before you off yourself.

This is just not how human beings were supposed to live. It's so fucked up it's not even funny.

plenty of suicidal thoughts

you get used to it after a while you fucking pleb.

I know, I could never imagine doing DMT while my parents were home

>he doesn't smoke weed everyday to combat the boredom and loneliness

Attached: wtf.jpg (366x380, 18K)

>How do you guys combat this?
I drink

I feel like drinking and drugs isn't the answer though, it just leads into other stuff or basically just creates more problems. You'll eventually become an alcoholic or dependent on alcohol to get through the day.

I've been living like this for three years.
It doesn't get better. My life is work-sleep-eat-repeat. There is no social life in there. Even my hobbies have fallen to the side.
Luckily I enjoy my job. I just have no friends.

this if i'm being honest
if i'm feeling stoned atleast i'm feeling something

Attached: perhaps you will dream of hell, as I often do.gif (480x240, 955K)

Try some meth or adderall

That's no different than someone relying on food to cope with loneliness. That's why people gain a lot of weight and get fat because they eat to cope. It's like saying "If I'm feeling full then at least I'm feeling something." but you're cramming donuts, chips, hamburgers, soda, cookies, ice cream etc. down your throat and then 3-4 months later you've put on 20 lbs, and then 20 lbs turns into 50 lbs. It just doesn't seem healthy.

I mean, if you have any social skills at all you could try going to a local bar/club and picking up girls. I know it sounds stupid but if you have the midset of not getting her laid, but instead to make her your friend you might just end up lucky by the end of the night. It's not that hard, I've been in your situation and I thought mu social anxiety would keep me from making friend/getting laid. But if you don't think about getting laid you will be less nervous and everything will go pretty smooth. Just go out there and try your best, good luck user

>I have social anxiety because...
>I have never had any trouble in any social situation in my entire life!
You didn't even try. I am disappoint.
