What's your social life like?

Enjoy life? How do I do that? I forgot that long ago

I don't have a social life, and I'm fine with that.

Whats that again?
Social?
Life?

Hmmm, I have some people I can talk to or hang out with, but I still feel bad about it and I don't really know what to do, since finding new people is really hard and seems to get more difficult as time progresses...

No social life. Just go to class, interact with no one, get back home, dont talk with roommates, play online, dont talk with teammates

meh, all that social crap is just too much work. every weekend people come at you and want you to join in on hanging out and getting piss drunk for no reason at all.
it seems that's the only kind of 'hobby' most people know.
i mean you can do it and have fun with the right people around but guess what. bloody rare and hard to find.

Anti Social Social Club

It's "solve" not "solute"
To solve a problem - the solution to a problem.
;)
btt: No social life really. Occasionally I'll go out and help some friends move etc. but that's about it.

I'm doing ok, but should spend more time with family and friends...

Started university yet again ( had to cancel last time around duo to deep depression).

Still keep connection with most of my RL friends and some of my classmates from high school. University is yet to present many opportunities for friends since being an older guy ( say 7 year difference between me and the colleagues in 1st course) but at least I get to know the assistans that teach practice.

Online wise I keep close to several friends I made on Steam on top of being part of a decent online community based in Planetside 2 and spread over several other games.

Best way to break out of having no social life is to get out of your room/house and do things you enjoy, you will bump into like minded people.

Going to the gym is a great first place to start. Exercise does wonders for your mood. Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching? :) Also you will feel better and be more confident if you are in good shape.

Going to the mall and practicing your social skills is another good thing to do. Start small, just sit somewhere and make eye contact with people as they pass by and smile/nod your head. Once that becomes easy, start adding words such as "hey how's it going" or "hi how are you" they will respond and say good/great and might add "and you" you just say a couple words back "doing alright/great" and that's that. Try it again in a minute or so until it becomes comfortable.

Library is another good place to go to meet people. Ask strangers for book recommendations and strike up conversations that way. Say "hey I was interested in finding a new book to read, do you have any recommendations?" People like to talk about themselves.

Or go into shops and ask the people behind the counter for advice. Ask for people's opinions or for their advice, that is an instant conversation starter. Ask people questions. You will start to be more comfortable in conversations after practice.

Repetition is the mother of skill. Sitting at home by yourself staring at a computer screen won't get you anywhere.

Take some classes somewhere, some self defense classes, cooking classes, whatever is it that interests you and start talking to your classmates.

Museums is another good place to meet like minded people, as they are slowly walking through the exhibit just start up a conversation.

Don't be afraid of failure, it is a natural and expected step on the road to success. If someone blows you off, or excuses themself from the conversation, so what? You will probably never see them again, and if you do they won't remember you. But when you meet that person who does want to talk to you / be your friend, it will all be worth it in the end.

If you really strike it off with someone, just say "It was really nice talking to you, but I've got to run, I'd like to stay in touch though, maybe we can do X again sometime, what's your #?" Exchange #'s and contact them afterwards if you wish.

I've been watching this documentary tonight and it's really fascinating.

Approaching my thirties my social life is starting to disappear. Not meeting with my friends anymore basically . No time for it + it feels like our paths separated too much in last few years. Different lifes and different interests. Sad but thats how things are.

What is social life? Is it edible?

Serious answer: these days I rarely go anywhere outside of school and work, most of the time I stay home and play game. I do go out regularly with my sister but I have no friend, not even internet friend and I bascically abandoned my twitter and facebook long ago. So, could be better. I appreciate the well wishes though, I hope your social life is a lot better than mine.

Wow! You can use social + life in the same sentence?

We should make a group of asocial gifters in which we giveaway coop games and the gifter and the winner have to play together and see if they can become friends, like a blind date but more fun (?)

Haven't bought that game yet. Is it any fun?

Social life is non-existent these days after school it began to decline and by my 20's I just occasionally met up with 2 of my old friends but these days I do not even meet with them as they have families and I do not.

Never had an online friend before, it seems odd to me even though I spend a lot of time online.

Social life is a myth.

Wow thanks for your input. Maybe we should create a Steam group for people like us? Playing together and getting to know each other might be a decent substitute!

Does babysitting my sister's 3-year-old count? I barely communicate with anyone aside from that.

I wonder if people whose social life is ok (I suspect that's still the majority even on SG) avoid entering this thread or read comments and silently leave.

What social life?
Anxiety disorder, inferiority complex and a whole ton of fragility and avoidance make for a lovely little bundle of 'fuck life'.

On the bright side it's all just self-destructive so even at my lowest I can be safe in the knowledge that at the very least I'll never be an Andrew Tate! :>

Throughout the week, I am mostly around co-workers and customers and tend to zone out quite a bit during the routine, which I know is not a good thing so I've tried to be more conscious, still I am pretty quiet and don't share much about myself at work. Don't really hang out with co-workers outside of work either, though I try to be nice and stay on good terms with everyone.

I have a good group of close friends that I've kept through the years, not a lot of people but some that I can rely on. I value these people more than any of my possessions.. they've really gotten me through some tough times and I try to be there for them when they need me. That said I hang out with a lot less people than I did when I was younger. It is definitely harder to make and keep friends as you get older, but I think it's a necessary part of a positive life.

Don't have one I sit in a room all day by myself I have no friends except for my neighbours cat that I sometimes see and that's it I'm pretty much a waste of a life.

I've unfortunately got pretty much no social life, unless you count the occasional chat with my parents when I wake up and the occasional comment wishing someone a good weekend or day on here.
Being house bound (bordering on bedridden) due to an illness for ~11 years now has left me with pretty much nothing these days, I got sick just before I moved up to high school(if you have middle and high school where you are, they're fused here, so beginning of my high school is the beginning of middle school for people that have that(around 12yo)) and there were very few people I knew from before there so I never really got a chance to make any friends and it's stayed that way since.
Due to a mixture of my illness and my life circumstances I've ended up with pretty bad anxiety(general and social) and depression, so it's even harder for me to attempt to socialise these days.
In terms of issues I'm currently facing, The first is that I'm finding that I have trouble relating to people, events and times in life that are considered normal and formative I've missed out on due to my illness and now the way a lot of people think just feels so alien to me since I have next to no shared experiences or common ground with most people.
The second issue is that my depression is spiking at the moment due to the fact that within a year I’ll have been ill for over half my life, I’ll have been ill for longer than I was healthy. I just can’t get that out of my head at the moment and it’s really bringing me down.

Hope anyone who reads this is having a good day and a good weekend(or at minimum a better one than I am). :)
