Sociopath Community

of being nice to people? I mean, playing these social games to get ahead. Trying to fit in and move up the social ladder. Do you get tired of this? Is this a human destiny?

If you don't fit in you become a social recluse, an outcast. Is this so bad?

 

 I never sleep, for sleep is the cousin of death.

You need to sleep and eat properly to recharge if you want to be that much sharper in life. 

Trust me, the longer without sleep, the less pleasant everything else becomes. It becomes so dry and boring, tasteless, and without color. 

The beginnings of sleep deprivation can feel kinda floaty in a nice way but after awhile it CAN start to suck.

 I feel the need to rise up as a gamer once in a while.

Its all about perspective, like your motivation to socialize shouldn’t be solely ladder climbing. Of course it has its benefits to be more engaged, but it shouldn’t be the only reason you do, that sounds unhealthy. 

a lot of the time it’s not about what you do but the reason you do it and when it’s genuine life is more enjoyable. So I say just being genuine is more important and has a greater value or return than ladder climbing. 

Also it’s blatantly obvious when people do, to other people and it’s not a good look... 

being a social recluse has a lot of negatives and isn’t healthy either especially for ones mental health. 

these are two extremes you are comparing neither of which are healthy or balanced ways to operate in life. Just go with the flow and be natural, no need to force or fake things, life is too short for that nonsense.

While I wouldn't argue it in favor of myself, I've seen people make it work as long as they have an internet connection. 

Were community organisms, we have a better chance of survival in groups. Isolation means death, they're linked in our minds by the fear response. This is why we are afraid of being alone.

In short, yes I get tired of always being nice to people. But I have a better chance of success if I work with people. Even the most capable people cant do everything on their own, and I'm by no means an exception

The good news is that if people like you, you take it for granted and see nothing wrong.

Why not just find others of a like mind? It's a lot more relaxed and laid back when you don't have to be something unlike yourself. 

When you have to pretend you're someone else, it gives you a queue of expectations around that other person that can very easily be externalized as blame towards them, or "people" if it's a mask for everyone. 

Being yourself might be repellant to many people, but those who stick around will be around for the real you, a you that isn't an Actor's Queue, a Behavioral Checklist, and instead relaxed and laid back with synergistic company.
