What Kind of Social Life Do You Want

Post Reply New Topic

Choose what kind of social life you like to have, even if you have it already. If you want something that's not in the list, leave a comment.

The categories:
1. Family
2. Acquaintances (including neighbors, co-workers, people at the bus stop you chat with, etc.)
3. Close friends
4. Sex Partners (sex only, free to have sex with others/no exclusivity)
5. Exclusive Sex Partners (sex with each other only)
6. Romantic Relationship with sex (companionship, long-term commitment, & sexual intimacy)
7. Romantic Relationship without sex

I guess if I were to define what kind of social life I want, I would say I want to connect more to people in general, I find it hard to narrow it down to the choices above,I hope you can acquire some useful data,I'm sorry for my own personal indecisiveness.

I don't have a good family life.

I would like more friends and more acquaintances.

I would like more romance in my life, too.

Well that's sad. Aren't you married?

My family life is kind of lacking these days, I'm sort of in contact with my younger sister, my older brother and I are no longer on very good terms, and my parents are divorced. I'm pretty distant from my father. I talk to my mother almost every day though so I'm thankful for that.

I have close friends and am satisfied in that category. I'd say one of my friends actually fulfills my need of family actually, he's like the older brother I always wanted.

I wish I could have either a romantic relationship with or without sex. I'm only 21, I'm not in a big hurry to have sex, but I would like to have some sort of real relationship though, I got close to having one before and I remember the emotional high and how good and secure it felt. I just feel like I'm adrift in the wind right now. Makes it hard to have motivation to do anything.

Honestly I don't know. Not gonna vote.

My instincts say: f**k as much and varied as you can.
My actions say: stay away from humans and make sure they stay away from you.
My heart says: find the one lady, have kids and raise them to be strong adults.
Reality says: I'm at home 24/7

Shouldn't there be an eighth option for "None of the above"?

What about sex partners with one-way exclusivity only?---i.e., they only have sex with you, but you have sex with whomever the hell you want to

8. Isolation.

Closest I picked was acquaintances, I guess there's no escaping that option.

Just because acquaintances are inevitable doesn't mean you have to like them. You don't have to actively seek them, and you can keep them at a minimum.

Hmm, I guess if I only got to choose one, I'd want to have more close friends. Currently, I have as many as I can count on one hand, but that's okay with me. Quality over quantity, right?

Still, I'd like to have some more when I go to college on the 9th. I think I'll be able to make some friends, since my high school friend has been going to the same college that I'm currently applied to before me, and knows a bunch of people already that I'll (likely) inevitably run into and have to hangout with.

Would be nice to make some of my own in my class, though.

I guess I wouldn't mind a romantic relationship w/ intimacy with another friend of mine from high school, I've always had a thing for him. I haven't seen him in a long time, (we've been talking a lot on FB) so I want to do some shopping and look my best for him when I do.

I don't see the logic in ruling anything out, but I'd like to stratify my social life a bit by passive means - sure I can see the distinctions between people but I'm a diehard collectivist, I'd kind of rather everybody just chill with me over a teapot and a mountain of hashish. On top of a mountain at the back of a cave.

Damn was I ever born on the wrong continent...

I guess there is no logic to it, but I sometimes like to focus on the thing most important to me and just talk about that. I already have a family that I'm close to, and I don't care for all the other relationships except for the option of a romantic one w/ sex.

Is hashish the same or different than pot? I have tried pot a few times, it makes me kind of sleepy and spacey. That's something I'd rather do indoors, since I'm pretty much useless to do anything but chat/psycho babble when I'm high, hah.

Which continent should you be on?

It's a concentraction, people have countless preparations and I haven't met one I didn't enjoy, perhaps owing to brutal insomnia. It doesn't hurt what social life I do have that most of my friends share at least some of my convictions. Even my friends who don't smoke seem to get along better with mountain hippies like me, stange as we may be a lot of emphasis is placed on being agreeable. Common ground is a good thing, so I enjoy the herbs it provides. Cannabidiol-focused medicinal strains are great for anxiety.

Lulz I was musing that I would make a good Sadhu... except they usually carry less than two laptops...

If I ever get the chance to try it, I probably will- if provided for me.

My friend Adam from high school still smokes pot, I think, so I'll probably end up having my hookups with him (he's tried other things too, but I won't get too crazy).

And yeah, I've got a lot of chill friends too that're cool with whatever. I don't feel like there has to be actual 'things' in common as long as there is some like-mindedness.

I have a bit of trouble with insomnia too, but I think the result of sleep mostly depends on what I was doing for the day.

I'm okay with where I am, but I kind of wish fall would come sooner and that summer would just go away. It's been so hot lately, ugh.

You can choose more than one option.
