Why do normalfags think that social isolation causes insanity...

Hey if it works for you, more power to you. Definitely wasn't good for me though.

You wanna maybe share discord so we can talk? I dont have any friends either.

do you ever think about sharing your isolation with someone though? no sense of longing for that?

O-okay but be warned ill orbit you

I can feel love yes and i do think about that
the reason why im alone all the time is because im looking for a specific type of person...

Just by being here, you are not isolated.
If you had no contact with anyone, internet or otherwise you would go insane.
That's why solitary confinement can be considered torture.
This has been proven many times, true isolation is not good for your mind. It's not just normalfags who say this, it's scientifically proven.

I really don't know. I've lived with multiple women, with my family, with close friends and I genuinely hate all of it. I genuinely loathe sharing space with someone and dictating time for them. If I could I'd have my own private island. I don't get why people think this is strange.

>the reason why im alone all the time is because im looking for a specific type of person...
Once you find that person you'll get turned down by them cause they think you're borderline obsessive and creepy in your singleminded focus on them.
It's better to be opem minded about people, nobody's perfect.

>that's how I was for several years
You were alone, in a small room, with no internet connection?
I really doubt it. Just by having internet, even watching YouTube it's not true isolation.
I can guarantee you didn't just sit in a room alone staring at a wall.

yes I didnt have internet because my parents didnt allow me to at the time and I was much happier than i am now because I had a science lab and lots of origami and drawing materials. I also had pet invertebrae such as whip scorpions and samurai beetles

you had your parents.
Congrats, you're not isolated

>gtfo normalfag or I'm gonna become unhappy
lol. kys

Loneliness does lead to poor mental and physical health, but social isolation doesn't necessarily lead to loneliness. At least, not for those who are accustomed to it. Normalfags most certainly aren't, though, so they can only imagine it being miserable.

Being creepy is okay, but having unhealthy attitudes and expectations about interpersonal relationships is not. Which seems very likely for someone with so little experience with them. If you have enough self awareness and both you and your prospective partner have enough patience, however, it may be possible to work through them and arrive at a healthy mindset for a relationship. But that would be a lengthy therapeutic process in which you would have to grow as a personal and let go of childish idealizations in favor of sober realities.

because its extremely based and redpilled and true and yall can suck my nuts

You participated in social interaction just by making this post and reading the replies. You have no idea what real social isolation is like.

It's exactly because they're normal that they can't understand how the outliers think, there's also a general lack of empathy.

Not bad , but how are you not in summer brake yet.

I don't have experience with complete isolation but since I've graduated from high school I've been progressively losing touch with people.

I think that isolation changes how people think and perceive the world. Becoming insane from isolation is mostly about getting stuck in your own head or some delusion, you stop making sense and it is hard to come back from that state.

You can be in isolation and not become that kind of insane though.
I've read about Buddhist monks who go willingly into isolation and come out fine. There is also the case of Natan Sharansky who was kept in prison in isolation and played chess in his head to keep himself sane.

The worst that has happened to me was a period of depersonalization/derealization. Everything felt like a dream, I was not sure if anything was real and I had intense head fog.
This feeling has passed when I started to meet up with friends more.

Our brains crave input. If you cut out the input the brain will start to make things up. Creating a "world in your head" can induce extreme anxiety and you are all alone to deal with it.

>I've read about Buddhist monks who go willingly into isolation
Where and how? I've tried to research living in isolation but it seems impossible. It's literally the reason I'm going to kill myself instead on Oct 31

I was isolated for years drinking in seclusion and developed psychosis/schizophrenia, I ended up in a ward for 6 weeks. Am I a normalfag for this? Obviously not, being on your own and only interacting with image boards can take a toll on your mental health
>inb4 "you just have a weak mentality bro"
I was paranoid as shit and got into more degenerate porn by the day just to satisfy myself because mainstream became too mundane, I don't understand how you could enjoy it unless you're just acting the part to fit in here. Suicidal ideation was constant and I thought I could never be normal again, never able to socialize and interact with others. That time at the ward was hell, I had to learn how to be myself again with lunatics always trying to fuck with my mind. I'm glad I got out of it, to say it's comfy is absolute bullshit you just enjoy it because it's been so long since you've seen the world in a different view, insanity is no joke and calling others "normalfags" for not wanting what you have is retarded. Get a life before it's too late, you'll regret it if you don't in the long run

I had a nice walk today on the docks. Made me quite happy

I don't remember the book, it was about Tibetan Buddhism. You can find something about these things by searching for tibetan monk isolation/sensory deprivation.

This was a long time ago and I'm not an expert on Buddhism but Buddhism has mixed a lot with other beliefs, for example, Zen is a mixture of Taoism and Buddhism.
Tibetan Buddhism is a mixture of Buddhism and Bon.

I am fascinated by the practices that come from there. Lucid dreaming ( the WILD method ) is basically known to them as dream yoga and they also came up with Tulpas.
Also the book 'Psychedelic Experience' is based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

This kind of buddhism seems to me like doing mind trips.

But it is not as easy as going into a cave and meditate. It takes practice and maybe if the intention is just escapism it won't work as expected.
I can recommend meditation though. Several times it happened that I got into a strange "flow state", feeling bliss but not being present.
Currently, I would like to learn to get into that state more easily.

I am not an expert on the mind but I get that a lot of people are sceptic or they will agree that the mind is extremely powerful without thinking much about it.
I can recommend one book that gave me hope and motivation: The Brain that Changes Itself.
It is about neuroplasticity, that is where I read about Natan Sharansky for example.

I can imagine that trying to research this stuff directly is giving you no results because this is not something that society likes to hear about.

>my entire life
How old are you OP? I'll guess and say you're under 30.

My guess: You live with your family? Yes? Bingo! You've never been truly alone.
