Social Alienation
 

Lately these days I seem to be socially alienated by everyone around me. Im not entirely sure why but I think I can go long periods of time not thinking or I just don't have the energy to talk to people sometimes. Anyone else seem to have this problem? For me its pretty well be pretty recent im usually a generally social person but ive hit some sort of wall. It gets me down sometimes any ideas whats up? Oh and im in last year high school if it helps haha probably at some kind of hormonal imbalance or something :p:

oh can someone move this to the lounge please my bad

this is not healthy behavior if it is recent. seek some professional help.

Meh you're fine.

Just make sure you're not alienating other people/offending them/making them think you don't like them.

Probably just a phase.

bullskitt. when late teens develop emotional and social instability they tend to do horrible things, like abuse drugs and break the law etc.
dont pass out bad advice whats wrong with you? if this kid posted asking this question seriously it SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. i hate that you would brush off a semi-offhand plea for help.
grow the eff up.

Teens do those things regardless.

I think further information is required before we chalk him up to being a psych case.

I have periods of becoming disillusioned with my social environment. A dose of time alone usually cures it for me.

Not necessarily.

Wow, wanna calm down a bit? It was a perfectly legitimate response, considering the tone of the opening post, which I personally didn't take as any sort of plea for help. And I have no idea how you jumped from not being very social to abusing drugs and breaking the law.

OT: Everyone goes through phases when they get tired of people and want to be alone. If the funk lasts for a longer period of time tho, you should consider talking to someone.

i feel alienated and aloof generally, not just socially

i also have a lot of existentialist angst

I often feel alienated and I think it's because a lot things in the world really are ****ty and it just gets me down and makes me not want to be a part of it. It's just part of who I am and I would rather feel like that than pretend it isn't so, I guess... if you know what I mean.:wavey:

I feel totally disconnected from reality some times.

Especially on 4/20!

rofl What?


That's not necessarily the case all the time. He just got the problem recently give him some time to figure out if it's a long term thing or just a phase before you go wanting to get him a therapist and drugging him up with meds that he doesn't need

This sounds like you are just going through a funk if you still feel this way all throughout the summer which I doubt you will then maybe you should seek some help.

I have that problem all the time. I just feel no reason to talk to people, so I normally don't. Back in the day I'd be at the mall, and just being around people was "social" to me. I won't talk to people for months and not even realize it. Then they come to me and they're like "man where have you been!" Or whatever. Something like that. I had 2 close friends who I hung out with all the time move down to Florida. I was upset for a few days, and haven't talked to them since. They're on my Facebook, but I just don't care. There's something wrong I imagine, but I'll get it fixed in time. Maybe this summer. I'm more bothered by my lack of focus.

lol I know that feeling and when I run into them and see them walking over to me I already know what they are going to say.

I get like that too sometimes. I have no idea why.

the current staff is completely mundane, I feel no urge to discourse with them (or intercourse with any of them)

I'm alienated. I got abducted and anal raped by aliens and now am with alien child.

I agree, what the **** pooka?

I would recommend drugs if your bored, just keep it on the dl.Get some friends on xbox live or a cat.

Theyres always alternatives. :D

erm...is it ironic her name on Muzic Forums is downlow?

I want a kitty :(

Being a generally social person as you say you are, means that people find you easy to talk to. As such, I'd also assume that extends to them talking about their problems with you as well; a problem shared is a problem halved etc. But as we all know from our own lives, if you listen to other people's problems, you start to worry about these people. Too much of it can get you down, especially if you have alot of people telling their stuff.

If you need some time on your own because you are having trouble dealing with what people put on you, or just to gather your own thoughts, then take that time. Find someone that you can vent to as well, even if its people online like someone from this forum.

i want a pussy :soccer:

don't you already have one?

Hmm I think lately ive been just extremely apathetic really, like I don't have much to talk about because nothing has really been catching my attention, and that combined with the fact that I can't pretend to have interest in people very well forced me to kind of stop. I think im just going through the motions with my parents though aswell so I'm pretty sure it will pass over even though it feels like it won't, I've experienced this business before.

i feel also like I can't seem to relax these days

even when I'm online I feel stress

It's nothing wrong with feeling this way. The only time it kind of crosses the line is if you feeling like doing harm to yourself or harming others because of this feeling.

I sure hope so. But if it doesn't, don't hesitate to get help.
I'd almost say 'why wouldn't you?'.

If you feel it really interferes with your day to day life and prevents you from getting anything done that you want to, then yeah, I'd advocate finding help for it. If not, go ahead and ride it out. Some people are just naturally introverted, I rarely venture outside my metaphorical shell anymore, but I'm not really bothered, and I'm a lot happier. I think it's better that you'd rather be honest and not have to fake interest in other people, I do the same, I find it to be rude to pretend to another person that you give a ****, and it only makes me feel ****ty.

i don't think there's wrong with being socially alienated. i've always been the loner in a crowd... it's not a problem actually..for as long as there's food an a hot guy in sight.

are you me now?

What are you doing after high school? You going to college or stayin in town? If you're staying in town, I'd make it more of a priority to talk to people. Even if you don't really have the energy, just create some bridges a little bit. If you're going off to college, I wouldn't worry much. You'll meet tons of people there.

Even I go to university an hour away from my parent's house and I'm still meeting tons of people.

No he definitely isn't :D.

Well Im going to university in town next year. I think im just getting caught up in my thoughts and not doing enough of what I take interest in. I mean I can only talk about what I'm interested in so I mine aswell do alot of whatever that is right? I really enjoy talking to people most times I can't tell if I'm changing or what is up exactly. Ill give you guys an update in a week or so.

If you're still content, then I don't see the problem.

I'm not content though I have a large craving for lots of social interaction :l

Then go out and interact. You will solve nothing by overthinking matters such as this, just decide to take a course of action and give it a go.

I seem to think I was abducted after I was born in the hospital and then replaced with an alien

I know overthinking things is a partial amount of the problem but I know its not all of it. Im just feeling different. I have been trying to take action though I mean I've been out every weekend past few months with people I just feel more disconnected from them than usual and its discomforting especially when its with people im normally totally comfortable with.

Maybe you're growing tired of your current circle of friends?

yeah BD is onto something, you need to discover new hobbies and a new circle of friends that are interested in those new hobbies.
