Subject: Is it worth pursuing relationships?

Why does your friend have to persuade you? Does he want a 3-way or something? Seriously though if YOU don't want it then it will simply not work.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Sticking to things you're comfortable with and good at seems nice now, but remember that what you want is going to change over time. In the future you'll probably regret not going outside of your comfort zone, especially when you have difficulty with it in various situations due to lack of experience.

I sometimes worry that this will happen to me. I honestly spend almost all my time alone; I really don't do well relating to people either. But if at some point in the future that all changes, I'm really screwed. I don't see what to do; I can either hang out with people now and not enjoy it, or I can enjoy myself now and potentially set myself up for a worse situation later. Tough call.
Not if; when. You will need to deal with people on a daily basis as an adult, so not practicing now is definitely going to screw you over. Don't think of it as not enjoying hanging out with people now; think about it kind of like an RPG. If you don't build up certain stats early on, your deficiency is not only going to be noticeable later, it's going to be irreversible.


That's actually a great example; it made my day to see life described like that! It makes sense, I suppose. I do well relating to people with similar interests to mine, or people I respect. But I'm just so introverted, it seems very difficult to change my entire outlook on people.

For example, as a competitive chess player, you kind of develop this way of thinking about people. You have to view them as calculating machines whose only goal is to beat you. You start thinking that you're better than them, or you hold them in contempt. I do it so much, that's started to bleed over into real life; I just see people as things to manipulate or defeat. I know that sounds really crazy and probably a tad emo, and I don't mean for it to. I just think I've set myself up badly for social interactions.

Ill be honest you have to have that one relationship that you put your all into. The one where you love her and she just -blam!-s you over. The one where it breaks your heart so much. Everyone needs that relationship that completely changes them as a person. Just a fact.


Ouch. Sounds like you had a painful experience, man. Sorry for that.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

A good relationship? Undoubtedly. There is nothing better than having a companion to be with you through thick and thin.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Well personally I would want someone who I could agree with on topics and care about and love and watch grandchildren with, and I think a whole lot of people would also want that.
If you don't, then that is you.

It is, despite you being anti-social having another person in your life can be inspirational.

I assume it can also be rather painful?

Relationships now give you experience for when you want to find the one and it helps out your social skills. Plus, you wouldn't believe how boring your life was until you get in a relationship.

My girlfriend and I just broke up after seven months and holy hell is my life boring and lonely now even though I have many friends to talk with and hang out with. Being in a relationship is just straight euphoria. It makes you feel good and it has so many benefits.

Watch out. If I post in your thread, chances are it'll die. I've been cursed, and if I kill your thread, I'm sorry.

Agreed. Most times relationships in high school don't really mean much (only one couple who I knew in high school is still together, and have been together for almost 9 years). They can create a bunch of useless drama.

I'm sure that's tough. I dunno though, maybe I'm just one of those people who's totally fine alone. I've never really felt bored spending a Friday night play StarCraft.

I agree. Seems like the time in your life when you would most want to focus on your grades.

Sure, but it can also be distracting or frustrating, right?

All of your life is either focused on grades or your job. If you want to actually have fun go and do it.

It's possible to have fun without relationships. I enjoy kicking back and playing video games by myself; I don't need people for it.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

No, but as that's what the topic is about, and he said that high school is a time to focus on school and not relationships, and then you said that people who want to have fun should just go out and do it........just seemed implied. Sorry if I misinterpreted what you said.

This; there's a group at my high school in where at least one of them lose their marbles almost every day over this exact topic. One of them has had three girlfriends already, and the second semester hasn't even started yet.

I can't help but laugh at them from afar.
