Yeah, the alternative to a boring life for most people probably involves some amount of tragedy or hardship. If their life is boring and nothing bad is happening, then they’re either making at least semi-smart decisions and/or they’re not surrounded by total fuck-ups dragging them down.
Is it really though? If you go out an embarrass yourself it's not the end of the world. You're far better off making a fool of yourself a few times and making some friends than staying inside all day and only talking to strangers on the internet.
Well, I wouldn't consider something embarrassing something bad. I had more in mind something like getting in a train wreck or a victim of crime. Those are some pretty bad things that would certainly be worse than nothing.
"Just wait until you meet a special someone", they said. "It will all come together", they said.
Yeah, right. You have to socialize for that, and there's no guarantee you'll find anyone anyway.
If you are depressed and find your life monotone and unfulfilling (which I don't know about them, but if you make a post like that on 4chan, that might be an indicator), knowing your relative privilege probably won't make you happier.
I know a guy who wanted to volunteer to go to Iraq and, after assessment, the army said no. He was working as a paper pusher and was apparently so bad at his job that they didn't even want him as cannon fodder.
I don't think it is a call for other people to talk to him. You are assuming too much from literally nothing. He never said in the post that he goes out of his way to keep away from people at all.
Tried dating apps now for a couple of weeks, had very low expectations from all this whine but.. I have so many fun and interesting people talk to me every day and meet some of them and it's the kind of most fun I have had in my life? What are other guys doing, it seems everyone I talk to express how glad they are that I wasn't an asshole to them? I just talk like a normal person and it seems every other guy is harassing or being wierd to them?
