Has anyone ever felt disconnected from humanity/society?

[ugksam]

dude you sound like a school shooter or some shyt, is this your manifesto? i think you just need to realize that you're most likely a gay man and then you'll prolly be able to chill

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Same city. Same thoughts.

NYC isn't an ideal location for a black man. consider a relocation.

Where is a Nigerian/West Indian first gen American to go? That's the thing...after NYC I'm out of this country though, already decided. I'm trying to go to Nigeria and check out the places my dad lived for a couple of years...just as a nice little personal journey. On some self-exploration shyt. Get away from America for a bit...see what life is like in other places in the world. I just could not see myself in America for the rest of my life.

I feel this as of late. Maybe it has to do with the extensive time I spend on the internet. Maybe it's depression. Maybe it's because of living in NYC and constantly being around people all the time, gettting easily annoyed by them, and wanting to be alone. I just do not feel like I'm a part of this society...at all. I'm honestly just disgusted by humanity and the way it's going with it's constant bickering, conflicts, isms, idiocy, ignorance, apathy, vanity, materialism, anti-intellectualism...I just constantly feel alone too because of this. Like I'm the only one thinking this way. Like I'm part of this world, but I don't feel a part of it. Like I'm not doing what everybody else is doing not even because of a strong desire not to, I just don't care. I feel like a robot sometimes...just losing all emotion, one by one. Just disappointed with what I see around me. Rejected by a society I never asked to be a part of. Whatever.

even typing this out I know I'm going to be met with a bunch of smilies and quick glibs for daps and reps and even that in a way...pisses me off. How stupid the majority of people are in this country and how easily entertained the are by the unfortunate disposition of others and how they aim to trivialize things that weren't meant to be seen as such. The worst thing about it is when I dwell on it, I just feel more incentive to not do anything.

Talking to women at the bar last night made me realize this...I don't even have that basic contact or feel that whatever...maslow's hierarchy of needs. I feel like just due to how hard it has been for me to get to this point I just deny myself those needs cause it's easier not to pursue it just for survival's sake. Pardon, I'm just not in a great state of mind right now so I apologize if none of this makes sense. I just get so disgusted with people and myself sometimes I just don't seek to interact with anyone. Probably why I like being on here so much. I don't have to deal with getting shut down or feeling rejected by people...

People like me in real life. I have friends. Most people have nothing bad to say about me...I just feel incapable of even mustering up those same sentiments...it doesn't even seem real. Just...whatever...there. I don't know. I just feel bad sometimes, like due to this I've lost all ability to just conversate on a basic level

the first few things you listed is probably the issue.

dude the internet has ruined "time", people like legacy, me and most of society are wasting time worrying about bullshyt on the internet. back in the day, shyt was going on but we didn't give a fukk and just enjoyed life.

now things have changed, the internet although very helpful will continue to ruin everyone's perception about society, we're all insane drug addicts right now, i mean everybody is fukked up worrying about shyt that they can't solve...

Seems like I'm not the only one who's thought about this...

Also, I was thinking about this article and the film attached to it.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/10/tech/web/paul-miller-internet-year/

I can't believe it's been over 15-16 years of me using the internet...I remember when the internet wasn't even a thing I was thinking about. Like I tend to have these thoughts as if...are we more connected or less connected to each other in this era?

fighting loneliness isn't about friends. it's about talking about the rela shyt you want to talk about. you could have a million friends but if there's no real depth or relate to you on a certain wave length you''ll still feel lonely. better to have the friend thatyou can talk about the rela shyt with(i'm not saying that's not you)

Truth.

Ah! So you got rejected by some girl and immediately go into emo mode writing long-winded essays and fakkity poetry. I guess lack of p*ssy could do that to you.

i have trust and self esteem isuues so i dont like letting people getting close to me. i keep my circle real tight only real ones i still fukk with. also my self destructive tendencies come from lack of self esteem. deep down i feel like i dont deserve good things to happen to me. i dont intentionally try to fukk everything up it just happens naturally

Those aren't friends, those are acquaintances at best. Friends can give you their prospective on things and give you advice that is the best interest of you.

ive disconnected myself from the bullshyt.
i'm anti facebook,twitter,instagram etc.
I collect my rent money,hit the gym,fukk with family
and my 3 lifelong friends,drink,fukk around
with attractive females and touch my paper.
if you dont have my cell number youre not
important and cant reach me.
life is good......

 

[dennis roadman]

Okay, at this point I'm now just convinced...I got to disconnect myself from the internet...and reconnect with humanity and society...and inturn...reconnect with myself.

Like I'm realizing certain things typing this. Getting too wrapped up in the internet and technology, just made me take people for granted. I don't want to do that anymore, or feel like I'm not being the best person I can be. All of this is fickle at the end of the day, I'd rather get to the point where I value my real life relationships more. And I need to forge more of those. And stop being consumed by fear or anxiety or ambivalence towards everything and anything.

Like yo...I was afraid to even say what I said in the OP and even this post, but you know what...I've been about facing my fears lately. I'm not trying to be consumed by fear and anxiety. Sometimes it's best to face your fears head on. The internet, becomes this safe haven, where you can create this little world, where you can be the king and/or queen of your castle...but it ain't real. This reminds me of why I stopped watching TV...I just wanted to get into real life more.

Its easy to forget that there's someone behind that computer screen...

You've made 4 posts in this thread alone since reaching this point. stop pontificating already
