It's not that I don't "care", but it's not worth the cost benefit analysis

For example, lil dips**ts

Act judgmental

Talk too much

Too melodramatic

"Huh" and "what" , instead of "excuse me"

Cancelling plans

Having a social life seems to me like it would be complecated annoying disruptive and intrusive.

I have friends, it's just that I think all of them must be imaginary, like Calvin's uncle Max once said. :)

I know many people I consider to be "friends", but I have to pretend I don't have any because my mom becomes paranoid whenever I try and interact with someone.

It's not that I don't want friends

But the cost benefit analysis is not worth it

Agreed.

In addition, most people aren't rational.
I am over emotionalism. :roll:

Logic is not superior to emotion

But emotion does not replace logic, the way plenty of precious lil "people", act like it does




The cost of friendship is much higher for me than "most people"




The benefit of friendship is much lower for me, than "most people"

If you have the ability to pay for a "rent-a-friend", is it a more honest transaction. :wink:
Same go for "romance". 8O

I'm in essentially the same boat.
BTW, Most of my friends were actually users.
Most disappeared when I stopped being used. <sniffle>

Another "BTW":
I make the distinction between being "emotional" and being "emotionalistic".
Being "emotional" is usually an unavoidable but "valid" human condition.
"Evolution". <sigh>
Whatcha gunna do? <shrug>

"Emotionalism", on the other hand, is the embracing of hyper-emotion without rationality, creating conceptual doo doo. 8O

Lol I meet the criteria to be in the no friends club, hurray.

Dont have the energy to make it work. Tried lots of times, I prefer acquaintances and I recently committed to have coffee with one of them sometime in the next 5 months lol.
