Coli Brehs in trouble…. Studies show that Loneliness is more harmful than smoking 15 packs of cigarettes a day

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I don't get why people relate being introverted to bring socially awkward.

A lot of introverts are social they just don't want to be all the time.

I never understood this argument as well. Like my wife's friend always assumed I don't want to be bothered because I'm antisocial.


Nooooo

I don't want to deal with lames like her husband who tried to be on some "married bros" shyt, when I don't have an open door policy with goofies. Maybe it's a trust thing, or more of a just true to self steez.

This article is their latest round about way of trying to get more companies to force wfh employees into the office. Just read between the lines.

Damn good catch, I ain't even think about that. Makes the most sense to me because why else would they just come outta nowhere with an announcement shytting on lonely nikkas

 

[SNG]

Breh. All jokes aside, why are you so upset? You just said you don't wanna be around people you don't like, and you aren't making attempts to be around people you do, so what's the problem?

That’s what im sayin nikka is creating his own reality. If you want to make friends go on bumble.

Yeah this loneliness shyt is bad for your health.
I hate it. Why do you think I'm on here all the time?
I wasn't on the coli or on social media on YouTube chats, I would never talk to people.
I don't have no wife or GF or kids.
I don't work a traditional 9-5 where I'm around people like that.
I stay at my apartment.
I don't go out to bars or clubs cause I don't want to be around wack environments with wack ass people I don't like.
Nobody care on the coli though, even though due to racism and social economic status black men or more likely to be alone than any other group.
Black Men be going through it SOCIETY DON'T CARE THO!

Everybody on the coli s a 6 foot tall player that makes 6 figures with a roster of hoes...
So don't expect this thread to do numbers.
They think we "nikka nerds" and "incels" and losers and have already written us off like the rest of society.

I have more respect for folks like you who are honest about their situation instead of trying to play up some image of something you're not.


I know folks like to throw that corny "dear diary nikka" joke out there to disparage you, but at least yall keep it real.

Sounds like my time in South Carolina . I loathed them fukking cacs. The majority of them were the stereotypical southern racists cacs that slobber up and down Donald Trump's nutsack. My wife, son, and I got treated like fukking lepers.

• Scoff looks because I actually attended my son's school stuff WITH my wife
• Got called an N word because I did not bow down to this belligerent stupid old cac that wanted a laptop, but wanted me to stick around, so he can yell at somebody on the phone, while I could be taking care of other customers.
• Dealt with more c00ns that bowed down to these cacs because they are in a "good city"
• My wife got fired because she did not bow down to these cacs and "played the game"
• My son got treated like the "good one" and even got bulled by cacs at a daycare

Living in Koalabama has them moments, but not as severe as SC. Hell, we felt more welcomed by white folks down here than we did in GA and SC, and my wife was born and raised in GA.

Where at in South Carolina?

15 cigarettes not 15 packs...

that would be insane

Greenville

Man, I knew it was that country ass town before you even replied.

 

[skyrunner1]

I have said it before.. isolation is DEATH.. we are social creatures.. people suffer a ton of issues by being in isolation with depression and mental health issues being close to top.. its been proven if people took up some form of exercise and joined some type of social activity/hobby/club/group alot of their issues would go down..

Covid, computers, video games, I think only make the descent to that dark space a little sneakier for lack of better term..

The funny thing is that the city tries to play like it's on some Charlotte shyt, but in reality they just have a big ass bridge, a rock, and two buildings. Most of the folks that come into facilities be damn near barefooted and looking like boiled ass. Hell, hicks in Koalabama got more etiquette than them cacs out in Greenville

I might be a sociopath because I don't think I've ever felt "loneliness". I'm legitimately fine with or without people and everybody who knows me accepts and understands that my presence is a commodity I do not wish to share with everyone, but when I'm feeling social I'm the life of parties. Really just depends what mood I'm in.



Tbh I think the problem is more about delving deeper in the ideology that makes being "lonely" a bad thing to some people as opposed to somebody having a problem and that's why they're lonely. Although my opinion is biased because I don't think I've ever been involuntarily "alone"

I’m the same way. I’m totally fine alone, but I’m social when I’m in social settings.

I do think part of it is what you stated- when you’ve never been involuntarily alone, it’s easy to pick and choose when you want to deal with people.

That being said I touched down in Cali so no being a loaner this weekend

I consider myself more of a loner, but I’ll say that people weren’t put here to be alone.

Even most of the true introverts have a handful of people that they are close to and can call on at anytime.

They are not just thugging it out in solitude 24/7 365.

Most people not of strong mind would go insane locked away with no human interaction.

If you’ve ever seen the movie Castway even though it’s fictional you see even his character made up a person to interact with to keep himself from going insane. Human interaction is good.

I don't know why it's surprising that loneliness and depression are bad for your health tho

the only thing i'd say is that people experience loneliness at different rates. there are co-dependent people be getting lonely if they're by themselves for like 15 minutes, whereas some people can probably go hours or days in the same kind of isolation without feeling the same way. especially if they have access to books/music/other forms of entertainment etc.

I'm a true introvert that likes to be alone but don't want to be alone, if that make sense.

Sometimes I feel bad for people that can't stand being alone. I love it and prefer it 99.9% of the time.
WFH was made for people like me, what a blessing.
I have a girl, but we don't see each other every day. We do talk every day though, and she understands that sometimes I don't want to talk and vice versa (she's an introvert too)
We have great convos and get along great
But sometimes we're like let me call you back. We both need alone time to recharge. It's working for us so far.
I'm also close to my fam, but we don't talk all the time either.
Friends have been an issue, cuz all my dudes are married and/or got kids. So we've drifted apart and just stay in touch with the group text and shyt
I get it, me not having kids or a wife means I have more spare time than they do
Example one of them was supposed to roll with me to the Nas MSG show
Last minute house shyt came up and he couldn't make it, so I rolled dolo and had a great time regardless
I know other people wouldn't have gone dolo, but IDGAF.
