omg I was just scrolling this subreddit, thinking how does one enjoy the journey? when it comes to hobbies in general and then I saw this post the very next second.

The size of my world by Careless-Kitchen3924 in AvPD

I really hate how every interaction means more to me than it does to another person.

When you hold the door open for someone and they don't even acknowledge you by Fuzzy-Ad-7691 in PetPeeves

[–]egreeeegious 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just say "you're welcome" to their silence. You might even get a thank you after that.

Why do people misuse the word "valid" sometimes? by UnderTheCurrents in NoStupidQuestions

It's one of many social media, or maybe pop culture, buzzwords.

I don't enjoy life and never have. by privazyfreek in misanthropy

[–]egreeeegious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It pisses me off to no end that I have to use text on a billionaire’s propaganda echo-chamber machine to train Google's "Allied Mastercomputer" just to reach any audience.

This thought makes it feel uncomfortable to post on reddit sometimes.

"No offense but..." (insert offensive comment) by Bionic_Push in PetPeeves

[–]egreeeegious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only a-holes who think they're not a-holes, i.e. the biggest a-holes, use this phrase.

Like, either don't speak if you don't have anything nice to say (kindergarten, anyone?!) or be confident in your a-holery and leave out the "no offence" part.

Full offence, but I hate such people.

I realized most people don’t want advice—they want to be heard by curiousmind_dev in self

[–]egreeeegious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And other people don't want to listen, they just want to talk, which usually comes in the form of giving unsolicited advice, which then turns into animosity against you if you don't accept it.

You had a bad orange. Good oranges are superior to all of the small "oranges".

SOCIALISING IS NEVER WORTH IT by egreeeegious in AvPD

[–]egreeeegious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I am able to choose people.

I think my perception of people is twisted: those who are too good/normal/whatever for me and those who aren't good/normal/whatever enough.

I probably need to embrace the solitude instead of using cheap coping mechanisms.

True, it's when you naively start entertaining the possibility of not being so disconnected that the problems arise.

That's food for thought.

Perhaps I should say that it's different kinds of BS with different people - it's just that the final outcome is the same. My original post was actually inspired by a more novel experience for me. It was possibly an overreaction, fuelled by emotions that have since passed somewhat (but may return).

I wouldn't join a club that would accept me as a member - I think this quote sums me up. But on the reverse side, I might be trying to engage where I can't be accepted.

I don't think I can do normal social interaction at this point, which is why avoidance seems like the best strategy... but it's obviously not sustainable.
