Have you been on face to face group calls with him, you monitor the chats on discord not just here and what he posts here...
He’s def not normie hahah
What would you say makes him stand out?
He socially isolates for extended periods of time Turncoat, that is never normal behavior
Being a Hikikomori with an internet connection isn't really uncommon anymore.
Ya it is, you just spend too much time inside in your room to realize
Do I?
For real though, have you just been ignoring what people are becoming as technology and social politics continue to advance? People are becoming increasingly introverted as time goes on from what's around us catering to it more and more.
Ya but most people still have desires to interact with each other irl as well as online
Mostly for mating purposes (they're working on that).
Through society itself placing less of a demand on social interaction face to face, how often it's expressed has gone down significantly. Even larger celebrations have been largely replaced with sub-cultural gatherings of fewer people, and much of this has been made possible through the internet.
A lot of what once required socializing has workarounds now. Most people I know nowadays don't really need more than a few people in their lives IRL to fulfill their needs otherwise unmet online.
(The point is he has no one, let alone "a few") dumbass
He lives alone, and has no one he socializes with irl. it's weird
I don't think it's that weird personally, and more and more people are finding themselves either going that way or idealizing it. Many share the sentiment of resenting their fellow man, usually only desiring to interact with them to fulfill their own needs. With the internet, suddenly a lot of what was needed has been streamlined through separating it from the socializing it once required (like Tinder dating).
It's seriously becoming more and more common. Incels, MGTOW, Hikikomori, Internet Shamanism, Monks, you name it and there's a ton of soloists within it. He still uses the internet, so he still gets social interaction (of a form), and who knows, he might buy some high end interactive sex toy and be set for life.
