maybe its his nature to be alone
I think his frustration stems not only from the amount of non-solo activities, but the fact that society as a whole deems you defective / weird for not having the traditional friend group, romantic partner, family structure, etc
Well, if you have NONE of those things then you might actually be a bit weird. There isn’t anybody living in complete isolation who isn’t weird. but anyways there’s nothing wrong with that, just understand that the average person doesn’t operate like that and stop calling them NPCs for it
I’m introverted and avoid social interaction
Look at what he’s talking about in OP. Going to the movies, eating out, what does that have to do with social anxiety? Go to the theater and sit down. Go to the restaurant and eat.
I’ve traveled solo all around the world and you don’t need to talk to people to do that either. I just vibe and explore. All the things he described don’t have to be social gatherings to be enjoyed.
the movies alone is amazing when you’re seeing a movie you really wanna see, nobody is looking at solo goers and thinking you’re weird for it lmao
Basically almost every “fun” aspect that society sets up includes needing to do it with someone else. Going out to movies, eating out, going to bars.
Traveling is even worse cause there ain’t nothing really to do in cities alone, you have to be another NPC that looks to other people for happiness. Obviously this doesn’t apply to family (blood)
you can do all of those things
insane you listed 3 things you can very easily do alone without feeling weird 😂
I diagnose u with antisocial disorder. Maybe also autism spectrum given usage of the word NPC
