Be honest: How much of an anti-social are you?

I am a super arrogant person and quite anti-social; I suck at showing emotions (except annoyance and anger) and am not much empathetic at all. I rather stay at home all by myself than go out to some degenerated nightclub with my friends or to some retarded house-party. I am highly pessimistic and get really loud when I disagree with someone. I think most people hate me.

I cannot stand small-talk and very often have to fake interest in the shallow crap "normal" people usually talk about. I am very interested in politics, economics and other "intellectual" topics which - of course - bores the hell out of most people. But I do like being around people with absurd humor and through this, I have been able to make some friends. Usually I prefer to be alone after meeting friends and perhaps meet them again after two or three weeks- Need that time to recharge my batteries.

I am probably not only "anti-social", but possibly even bordeline sociopath.

What about you?

 

You sound friendly enough to me. And truthful...which is not an easy trait to come by.

I think you are piling on yourself a bit much...but you may not give a rat's ass what I think.

 

Lol. Thanks m8.

Actually, the thing is...Social competence and being social are not the same. It is a very common misconception people make where they put social, extrovertion and social competence in the same box. In reality the most quiet and most introverted or weirdest of persons can possess a much larger social competence than the most talkative of extroverts.

Social competence is about how well you can interpret social situations; you know when not to say what, you can interact with people in a normal way and are not to obsessed with always being in the centre of attention.

I have great social competence, but am not very social.

 

i can have some social anxiety in crowds, but Im much better now thanks to shock therapy.




....kidding.

 

I am highly reserved and unconfortable around people I do not know, but once I get to know them I can start being full on arrogant with them. Generally, face-to-face communication is not really "my thing".

 

Screw you all.

 

Me too mate, we do our own thing..
I was expelled from school aged 13 for "not trying", and I was jailed for 3 months on a vigilante rap in 2002, check out this vid of me under my wargame name 'Poor Old Spike' and note the superkool arrogant body language-

Seriously, there are two types of anti-social. One is genuinely shy and the other is a flat on (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bag who thinks he is better than anyone and not at all shy about letting others know

The first is by far the most common and includes those people like the OP who is usually just being unconsciously self-deprecating, as it's part of the shyness. Most people who really ARE arrogant (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bags think they're the voice of sweet reason and just can't understand why everybody else can't see what idiots they themselves are and how the arrogant one isn't really being arrogant but just right. (And that too is part and parcel of the dysfunctional social characteristic , that is, the arrogance)

 

I'm picky. I love talking to intelligent people, but unintelligent people bore me so much that I'd rather be home, alone, watching GoT, in my pajamas, with my dogs.

Depressed, anxious, psychopathic. I think we'd get along.

 

I am pretty anti-social. I don't make friends, and I do not seek out people. I am well liked at work and get along well with everyone though. I can hold conversations but it seems like work to me, and usually the pay-off isn't worth it. At social gatherings and parties, I go into a bathroom or bedroom to take needed 10 minute breaks periodically.

 

I have a small circle I associate with. Family and retired military friends. If you ain't family or retired military, I really don't want nothing to do with you. I would rather stay home than go out, I never go to a restaurant if one has to stand in line for more than a minute or two and that goes for stores who usually have long check out lines.

I do belong to the VFW and American Legion and go to the meetings, but we are talking military again. So I am pretty much a loner when to comes to almost every other thing. Now if that makes me anti-social, so be it. Fact is I hate crowds and places where there are a lot of people, normally. Now I worked on the Ross Perot campaign in both 92 and 96, so there are exceptions.

 

I am not necessarily anti-social. I am just sick of people not calling or coming by unless they want something. I am anti-sponges.

 

That's bloody spooky - you could be me! I don't suffer fools gladly; I find it a bit difficult to relate to others, and that makes me suspect that I'm borderline Asperger's. I'm the archetypal loner, and I have more eccentricities than you can shake a stick at. But apart from all that I'm perfectly normal.

 

Mint!

 

The older I get the more I dislike being around a lot of people outside family.

I have a few work friends I enjoy being around but we don't socialize much outside of work.

I think I have just grown tired of fake people, office politics, and cliques.

 

For some unexplainable reason, it is always the most loud-mouthed, out-going, crazy retards of women that "click" with me- a kind I cannot stand one bit and I really cannot understand why such personality finds me interesting. Just leave me alone ffs!

 

I honestly have no idea whether I am anti-social or not so I will just tell you guys some things about me and then maybe YOU can tell me whether I am or not.

I have only one friend, and we are not even that close--we meet and have lunch once a month. Other than her I have no friends. I can carry on small talk (or I think) but I am not enthusiastic about it. Apparently some people can go at it for hours on end and I have no idea how they do it. Most of the time, I prefer my own company. I would much rather just sit and think about stuff than talking to (some) people. I love discussing and arguing with people online. I am also excited by the idea of parties. I LOVE going to parties but I have not had many chances to go to one, unfortunately.

 

Not anti-social, but sometimes people have a hard time grasping my personality. But most figure it out that if I'm messing with you, like talking a little trash I am just breaking the ice and trying to make you laugh. It's when I don't talk trash to you or totally ignore you is when you know I just don't like you. I talk trash about myself too in front of you, that means I really like you lol.

 

I generally do not enjoy the company of people lacking intelligence unless inebriated. As most people fit the aforementioned criteria and I rarely drink anymore I suppose I am to be considered anti-social for the most part. A few select individuals are engaging and worthwhile in conversation and thus are friends but, I have very few aquaintances anymore and most stranger are dismissed within ten minutes.

 

Extremely anti-social unless I drink.
Been so since forever. Still remember the other kids laughing because I preferred reading and being in the library when in school.
Damn... To be honest most my youth was spent in either the schools or the cities library.

 

So you are banned from owning firearms in the U.K. as an Uncle Social something ?

Are you a Rebel without a cause or a Rebel from the waist down ?

Reference George Orwell's 1984
“You’re only a rebel from the waist downwards.” (p163)

 

LOL! You serious?.....well, if you are, at least you're honest about it.

 

We are not here to discuss my honesty nor my personality.

 

There have always been rebels..
Who did Jesus say was the greatest man ever to be born?
Some famous King maybe? Or one of the ancient prophets? A wise philosopher or mystic perhaps?
Nah! Jesus's cousin John was a young world-rejecter living rough in the middle of nowhere eating wild food and dressed in near-rags, sometimes going in town to yell insults at the snooty priests and corrupt rulers.
Jesus's verdict on him? -
"John is the greatest man ever to be born" (Matt 11:11)

Michael York as John in 'Jesus of Nazareth' in action against Herod and his floozy-

 

I agree with this ^^^^

There have been studies, people with fewer friends tend to be intelligent, and if I recall they find mostly it's simply because they are quite happy to pursue their interests, instead of socializing.

I know a lot of people, but I don't call many of them close friends, everywhere I go there will always be someone who waves or stops me for a chat, but mostly I prefer to spend a large part of my day (when my kids are at school) working or pursuing my interests.
