Has anyone ever felt disconnected from humanity/society?

[TwistedMetal]

I have all my life

I think it's because I may be an Indigo Adult
Always felt I was an alien watching humans

It sounds like you're lonely.

If I lived in NY I would be your friend

He don't befriend cacs.

We are living in a self absorbed narcissistic society. Many people have a self entitlement attitude. Look at all of these social networking sites. People lack communication skills and everyone is in their own world. You have adults stuck in perpetual adolescents. I see women over 40 still trying to dress like they are 18. This is a warped world we are living. The whole point is to separate people and get them stuck in their whole world. It's better to get rid of the toxic mess in your life. Whenever I worked at a job that was too toxic for me I found a new job and bounced.. I currently have a job that I enjoy. Also try to get more involved in things you like. I avoid people who are into that club hopping bottle popping self culture. People think it's lame, but It is just not me.

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...

Very true..

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

Are you masturbating a lot? If so, give it a break. It will motivate you to go out and be more social, more active, and basically seek dopamine from other aspects of life.

I have very few friends that I rarely see. Some of them, we don't even connect that well.

I'd love to have real friends. I'm just not down for drama. I also don't feel like I was born in the right place. I wish I grew up in one place and had an actual community and a great connection with my family. I wish I could just be connected with nature again but it's pretty hard to find an environment that isn't polluted but also affordable to live in.

Im really not anti-social. I just need to find people to connect with. I feel like I'm just a very rare individual who doesn't follow the beaten path.

If he has that attitude towards people, it's no wonder he's lonely and disconnected.

Do you attend events in your city or gatherings? I have many acquaintances but a few people that I would call my friend. I personally think that something that helps is to stop expecting people to be true to you, have the same exact points as you, or put them on a pedestal. That way when people do things that really turns you off you do not subconsciously hold a grudge. You can also try picking up a hobby and meet up with people that share your hobby. I'm currently taking a creative writing class to become a better writer and I've met some cool people. One of them I currently hang with. I'm thinking of taking up an introduction to sewing class next summer.

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.

One of the best places I know that allows for this is Alaska. If you ever seriously decide to give up on life in modern society, there are more than a handful of places where you can just be there. I'm talking the kind of places where people are outnumbered by animals, like 400 miles away from civilized life. The reason I suggest it is because I have a friend who decided to make that transition a few summers ago because he thought there had to be something else in life besides going to school, working until retirement age, collecting a pension and then dying afterwards, with some partying and drinking in-between. It's a big transition, such as the weather and lifestyle change, but if you're serious about it, it can be done. Based on the description, it seemed like a much simpler life to me.

You need to travel breh.
Meditate and find your happy place.
Write down some good things about yourself.
"It's lonely at the top."
"What's wrong with being alone."
Change your DIET.
JUST ACCEPT that you don't like people and you'll be happier.
Maybe you need to meet more stimulating interactions. Go to a museum. Talk to people who KNOW some shyt.


I might have to put you on ignore, cause I don't want to associate with this type of mentality anymore. I still got love for you homie. But You gotta drop the weight if you want to fly.

Try watching this video. I think he talks about how "your brain is broken" the effect of food and Maltz Maxwell, The New Psychocybernetics. Get the PDF, I think it will help. But you gotta help yourself. Stop focusing on whats wrong and start looking at the solutions to your "problems"

That is why I do not like living in a city. There is just so much going on and it blocks the thought process. I'd rather live 20-30 minutes outside the city and then drive in. I'm glad there is still nature where I live and when I want to disconnect form society I can go sit down and think.

That helps a lot. I enjoy human interactions, but I am not a major people person. I am not anti social and I know how to interact with public but I enjoy my peace. People also have to be more careful about who they choose to hang around. I have many acquaintances, but I have 1 person outside of m family that I would call my friend. I am close to my sisters and that's good enough for me. If there is a local community college you can take up some enrichment classes (photography, drawing, writing, and etc). Like minded people tend to hang around the same places. I avoid the club hopping popping bottle types. No disrespect to them, but it is not my scene.

Like yo, we have a good thing on here, I won't lie. There are a few posters on here who feel like fam.

Maybe you guys need to hang out with me. You don't realize how much of a gift YOU are.

Looking for other people to connect with? Pfft. We do that enough on HERE. Face it, this is your life. THE INTERNET HAS YOU. It's just the times breh. Accept it. Love it. And then TAKE THAT INTO THE REAL WORLD.

I bring up the forum all the time in RL. What's wrong with that? I'm already more social than most people. I'm socializing right now. I have the potential to socialize with people in public. That's something in my personality. That's something in your personality too. We don't always get the chance to bring it out. But once you accept that fact, thats another hurdle out of your way with connecting and talking to people.

YOU have to bring the party. I walk around "half crazy" but I accept that as a part of my genius. Cause my mind is SO FAR OUT from the average person. Of course I can't relate to the average person. I'm NOT the average person. The average person is lucky to meet and have a REAL INDEPTH conversation with me. And then, I do most of the talking.

Your probably the same. You should talk to a cashier when its not busy. Just open, start a conversation and talk to THEM. MAKE THEIR DAY. Stop worrying about what YOU get out of life, you obviously have alot of depth and gift to GIVE. So GIVE to others. Get someone else talking. Just get them to open up and listen to them. Talk to some old people, help a stranger load groceries into their car.

You get more out of life BY GIVING. especially when you want something. And you know what? People appreciate you LISTENING, people appreciate you helping. Ask people questions about their life.

It's not going to be extravagent or great. Your not in the social circle of Andy Warhol for god sakes. people are boring and live boring lives. YOU are the interesting one. Jeeeezzz

Some advice I've had along this journey:

At the end of the day we gotta remember we're just a part of life. Our "self" attaches ourselves to things we observe.

That chair is now "your chair," feeling upset is "I'm feeling upset," etc. When in reality all is just a part of life. Meaning at the end of the day we're all just life interacting with itself. What's eye opening is you really have no control how you feel, think, nor act, all the decisions you think you made are not in your control. Just knowing this, it's helped me become apart of the flow of life and to know I'm taking things way too personally, whether good or bad.

The term you hear this referred to is "no self" usually.

Think about it, try to force yourself to think happy the whole day, chances are you'll think of something else at some point in time. We can't control our thoughts. Also you can try picking a random number form 1 to 100. You may think you have control over how you think, for instance you might pick 50 because that's in the middle. But what stopped you from picking 75 because it's 3/4 of 100, or 100 because that's the highest number, or 55 just out of nowhere? Why did you specifically pick 50 and not any of those other numbers? The thing is when you really look at it, you had no control choosing the "rationale" behind it.
