The dreaded question. Is there any way to say you do eff all in an interesting way? Some people live exciting or semi exciting lives doing a myriad of different things.

Me? Internet,eat,drink,watch tv and sleep as sure as night follows day. Hardly a conversation booster by even the wildest estimation.
If there was a contest for “Bore of the planet” I’d probably win hands down.
A tin of magnolia paint would do better at socialising than me.

I guess it doesn’t help that I am alone for 99+% of most weeks and very limited in my range of activities which are very much of a solitary bent.

I joined a quilting group yesterday and quilted with a group of 15 or so. Very nice. Maybe you could try something like that?

Stuff & Things is my usual answer.

I also joined a reading group at church, we read
The Scarlett Letter
And had a pot luck meal together and then discussed the book. More men with this group.

At least you’re honest about it. And you’re comfortable, thats better than being uncomfortable.

Me I’m just taking my online community college classes and trying to keep my weight down by exercising most days.

I have alogia so I have no friends, its a shame, a lot of people on here have friends.

So this website is my only real social contact, I’m not active on facebook or other social media.

Its a shame the mods seem to be coming down hard on everyone for nothing, I was banned for a number of weeks for minor percieved offenses.

I just got back from a trip to Uganda with my dad so thats something interesting.

My only other social contact is messaging my siblings and people from Uganda on whatsapp. Maybe I actually do have a couple of friends, but most of them are family.

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately I have never been good at craft activities.
I remember at public school we had to do a year of metalwork followed by a year of woodwork or vice versa. I couldn’t even make the starter pieces we were all supposed to make.

My wife once tried to teach me crocheting. It was an epic fail.

Maybe if you’d stop making fake judgments and unnecessary assumptions about people you would find more benefits of this site.

Did I judge you or something? Was it in this thread? What have I done wrong?

Your trip to Uganda sounds really interesting. :relaxed:

I’m in the same boat as you. I barely talk to anybody except my family because I live with them. The only times I was sociable was when I was in school. Then even by most peoples standards I wouldn’t really be considered sociable.

You are so much like me. I could set records for being a bore. When I’m around people I go rigid and start talking in a monotone, and they start yawning. My activities are mostly solitary too. You might be a very creative person. I think I read somewhere that the alpha brain waves of creative people are stronger when they are alone, and the alpha waves of ordinary people are stronger when they are among others.
