wha's it called when you are so detached from humanity but still seek companionship?

[YUPPIE]

when you hate humans so much to where you don't even see yourself as human or look people in the eyes anymore but have this horrible consuming feeling of trying to see if there is at least one person on the planet that can be your friend and never finding it, what do you call the symptom? Is it pretty much sociopathy or does that last bit somewhat invalidate it?

[YUPPIE]

Being an edge lord?

Or misanthropy?

the question is, does still trying to halfheartedly believe there is one good person out there still make you a sociopath if you're otherwise incapable of feeling anything and are so withered from the loathing and apathy for 99% of people

I think a lot of people that reach this point do so because they feel flawed in some huge way that will make them the butt of jokes if they go out in public. In the past, such individuals could find christian church groups to associate with but with the increasing loss of religion I'm not sure where such people can turn to in todays world. And with the ban on religious talk, I don't even think I'm allowed to go into detail to help someone in that scenario. Sorry.

Confirmed.... Edge Lord

It's called too much internet and too little social interaction in real life.
You can't expect to make real lasting friendship online if you dont meet them irl too like 99% of the time.

You are clearly capable of feeling things. You aren't a sociopath, but if you are I would suggest a therapist/doctor/psychologist.

This sounds like an angsty blog written by an emo/scene kid when I was in middle school.

Well - I have the opposite problem, I'm hated so much by humans that I've forgotten what it means to be human or even alive. Total isolation has that effect.

Tfw you can recognise a Tsugunai thread from the title alone.

it's far worse to be in your mid-40s with this feeling though. You can't even muster the strength to get mad as much as feeling dejected and out of energy.

I really just suggest a professional - there might be a few here but you should see someone to talk about this sort of thing if you;re being sincere.

When I can't repair my car I take it to a mechanic, I don't just ignore it.

People who suffer from autism have trouble with relationships even though they still seek companionship.

Speaking from personal experience.

It's called online dating.

If life seems jolly rotten,

There's something you've forgotten!

And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,


When you're feeling in the dumps,

Don't be silly chumps,

Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!

And always look on the bright side of life
Come on!
Always look on the bright side of life

[Halyon]

Loneliness.

Have you ever thought that maybe you're the problem?

Still pretending to be in your 40's eh?

Get some medical help and then seek a relationship(sounds like you have depression).

Also, the thing you're going to have to realize is that no one is 100% a match for anyone else. They will always have a quirk you hate. The trick is to learn not to hate the quirk.

Hmm.. Deppression and projection/deflection?
