i can relate to you guys... the people that share my major are really immature and are tools. there's nothing that i relate to them with (i love music, they're obsessed w/ videogames). i can't wait to graduate to meet some cool people and make some friends.

^I said the same when I was in high school, and oh surprise, even in college people are shit.

What's with all those lonely people?:whip:

lonely is a state of mind, I'm merely alone, and my defense is Thoreau's chapter on solitude in "Walden".

yeah... i guess u just have to search to find the right niche... honestly i really regret sometimes the school i go to... i could be learning so much more, but due to slackers i'm behind where the classes should be... at least it makes me stand out.

 

this is why i can't wait to graduate. i mean sometimes it gets quite lonely not to have anyone to relate to. i remember being excited for college because it'd make a bunch of friends, but since i can't relate to them this hasn't happened.

But you guys don't go to school with 12 year olds :( they suck

yeah but we did go to school w/ 12 year olds at some point

 

kids are cruel... i hated middle school... so glad i don't have to relive that time. there were too many cliques.

 

although people may be cruel i've learned that honestly people should be themselves and like what they like. i find i spend too much time worrying about what other people think, but it really should'nt matter

It's the same for me, people seem to be shallow, at least IMO, while I'm "deep" they don't even care about a thoughtful conversation, they just want to drink.

I want to graduate so much cause I'd be working, doing what I want, I'll possibly meet brilliant people.. but somehow, I know I'll still be alone :/

That's just it, loneliness is far more than one's proximity to human beings. I am most alone around certain groups of people. Most of the time conversation diverts to the lowest common interest of the people there, and it becomes a waste of time. My first semester I had a roommate and was around people constantly, as a result there would be times that I was desperate to get away, I would walk around campus while listening to "How to disappear completely" (added for color, but true), and would be repulsed by anybody I saw. I would seek refuge in the piano labs, but then would be incensed by people talking right outside where I was playing. I remember wishing I was in field, miles away from everyone where I didn't feel irrationally restricted. Now I still socialize, but am much, much more comfortable.

yeah... lonliness sucks. i'm so glad that i have family and a best friend. for me it's not shallowness. i hate to say it but i just sort of feel intellectually better than the other people. like i said they are kinda losers because they always talk about video games.

 

don't get me wrong, video games have their place and are fun, but u need to do something that deals w/ reality.

 

so many times i find myself wondering what the hell i'm doing where i am. there are some cool/down to earth people, but still no one i'd hang out w/

My thoughts exactly.

I need a bff from real life :mean:

interesting story. I find that i socialize much more than before becuase like you i'm more comfortable but also realize i don't give a shit (sorry for the language) what people think... i'll like what i like and do what i like.

 

to me i'm similar because how to disappear completely and let down have been songs that i kinda relate to w/ college in the sense of what their saying... it's hard to explain

yeah... i'm so glad/grateful that i have a best friend. although i'm glad that i have him as a friend, i still want to have more friends, ya know?

Yeah, but still, I have this feeling that in life, you only have just one or two really good friends, cause the rest are just.. temporary? I dunno.. people can be so fake, I just discovered that (again) this semester.

i totally agree... i'd much rather have a few great friends than just a bunch of friends. even so i'd like to have more friends than i currently have (which is really few)

I absolutely agree. wanna be my friend? :P

 

But yeah, I can't remember the last thing I heard something worth hearing when I was hanging out, and its useless trying to start a conversation about more interesting things. Its like all people want is to be acknowledged, like feel part of a group, and they use that as a a diversion from the important issues of life rather than a way to address them.

 

I mean, I probably would go crazy if I was completely isolated, I do talk with family and some people on campus, but while it would be grade to have more people here to relate to, I like to think its healthy to ween oneself off of useless company that just talks about video games and crappy bad music/movies. I use that time to read and play music, and do other boring introverted things.

haha sure

 

i see what u mean. for me i have no problem having time to myself, away from others, but it's nice to have some friends. what makes it most difficult is going to the same place day in and out not being able to relate to others. i don't have a problem w/ them liking video games... u like what u like and that's fine... but it doesn't do anything for me.

Friends don't exist.

Friends don't exist.

 

not true

Friends don't exist.

Are you the same guy who said love doesn't exist?

It's way easier to find people who share common interests with you on the internet, because they all tend to go to the same places as each other and it's not as hard to find out what people like/instigate a conversation.

 

Which is sad really. I hate most people in my classes at college, then the ones I like I don't think I'd really want to spend time with outside college, spare one or two people, it's ridiculous.

 

Hopefully when I move away in September I'll meet some people I actually connect with.

i'd have to agree w/ u. it's a lot easier to make friends online because u can pick and choose where u want to socialize, and if you don't like the atmosphere u can leave. where as in school it's a lot more difficult.

 

i also hate most people in my class... they act stupid and immature (i sometimes feel i'm still in middle school w/ these people).

 

 

this is why i'm looking forward to graduating in the spring because i'll get away from these people and hopefully get a chance to meet new people that have similar interests.

I hate being so shy.

If I've learned anything in college it's that my childhood ideas about college, adulthood and maturity in general were grossly overestimated. I feel much more mature and intelligent than the average student here, and yet there'll be times when feel like I was no less mature five years ago. Now that I've pretty-much reached adulthood and am halfway through college I look around and think 'this is it?'

i totally agree w/ you except that i'm graduating in a few months. :P

It's depressing when you are more mature than grown adults, like at 20 I still don't consider myself a proper adult.
