  1. Having ‘interesting’ thoughts doesn’t mean you are having ‘smart’ thoughts and having a lot of friends doesn’t make you stupid. WTF kind of logic is that? Maybe if dropped the whole tortured savant genius act you would make a friend.

  2. OP if you could quite your thoughts and end your sleepless nights you wouldn’t be as bitchy to people.Resulting in you making more friends.

  3. Hello Life,

    Don’t mind the peanut gallery .. they are mostly haters who assume they know a person after reading a few words.

    (BIG HUG)

    Keep those interesting thoughts, and treasure them!

  4. Freakin’ Buddha. If that nosey goddam hippie comes back we’ll crucify him again.

    *Inner Voice* Ivan – wrong fable.

    Piss off, Inner Voice. I’m on a roll.

  5. anyway op, you are not a ‘loner’ if you are wishing for more friends. that just makes you lonely.

    ivan, a bottle of gin and a (BIG HUG) ugh

  6. I was looking down the bottom of a few bottles of Dos x’s last night, oh my head today, feels like a cement truck ran over me, wood stove was toasty though as well as some herbs

  7. MONTREALMAN’S LAW OF THE INVERSE RELATIONSHIP OF INTELLIGENCE AND POPULARITY

    I have always maintained that there exists an inverse relationship between one’s popularity on the one hand and one’s intelligence on the other. In other words, generally speaking the more popular one is the more stupid one is and conversely, the less popular one is the more intelligent one is.

    I say this on the basis of my intuitive, unmediated but unerring insight into the inverse relationship of intelligence and popularity together with daily empirical confirmation of that insight provided by the quality of the comments on this site. Thank you very much.

    P.S. Check out my new avatar!

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!

  8. I wonder how old OB is.

    When I was in high school I felt like OB, although I had a lot of friends, my friends, turns out, were 95% stupid as fuck, and thus, my ideas went right over their heads and they’d think *I* was the dumb one and tease me relentlessly.

    Fast forward to university, I had no problems fitting in because I made friends with the top students — ALL my friends were honours students, in fact. And my professors really appreciated discussing my ideas with me and I had a few who were pretty excited about some of the ideas I’d come up with.

    Fast forward to even later, through the magic of Facebook, and keeping up with those high school friends via FB, I really appreciate how, uh, not so smrt some of them are. Nice people and all, but not a lot of complex thought goin’ on upstairs.

    So, OB, I think you just need to meet some people who are on your level, intellectually. It may sound snobbish, but it can be very frustrating being friends with those who aren’t on your intellectual level, but it is what it is.

  9. You are an absolutely sanctimonious idiot, op. You are not the deep seated introvert you are trying to convince us you are. You’re actually an obnoxious, extroverted performer who annoys the shit out of people. You keep trying to make friends (made painfully obvious by your two dimensional hostage situation of a bitch) but nobody likes you.

    It’s because you’re obnoxious. Trust me, grasshopper, i have seen your type come and go. You are one of the worst types of people which is too bad because once you get control over your delusions of grandeur, stop licking high-school wounds and get the hell over yourself, you have the potential to be one of the best types of people.

    As an introvert by nature i can tell you right now that an introvert has no qualms whatsoever with being an introvert. Yes, people will make you feel like you’re somehow lacking in something. You will ask yourself if being on the outside bothers you. You will even TRY to make it bother you but at the end of the day, you feel just fine where you are.

    You’re just an unpopular idiot who still has delusions of a beautiful mind. Otherwise, you wouldn’t stereotype the breadth of humanity into your idiotic, sophmoric, two dimensional caricature of evil.

    Do yourself, and everyone sick of you, a favour and spend the next three or four years talking LESS and listening MORE. Take people at the value of who they are and not what your outdated, romantic prejudices deem them to be.

    And for the love of all that is jeebusy, STOP trying to always prove how smart you wish you were. Hold your cards a little closer if you really want to be the mysterious sage you’re so desperate in convincing us you are.

  10. ^^ keg. what a treasure that video is. I have sent the link hither and yon. many people, not just young ones, could use some step by step, practical, real life directions on how to be alone comfortably.

  11. runs with Scissors

    That was a good post but OP could just come back and say that you are being more intense than they are and ask for your motivations. You’re completely on with what your saying though.

  12. PK

    I used to get teased in high school by people who liked me and later tried to contact me to hang out years later.

    You may have become a vengeful narcissist. Look at as many perspectives as possible before you draw conclusions about what peoples’ actual motivations are, and don’t forget the assholes own insecurities.

    and if they didn’t like you, they didn’t know you and or were simply assholes anyway…

    Not to call you grasshopper….
