Why Do People Want To Affiliate, And Why Don’t I?


I’m not sure why there are so many who are desperate to affiliate with others–to make friends, to fit in. I can understand from some point of view why that’s a natural human drive–it makes sense in an evolutionary context–but it’s not something I’m inclined to do. Although others like me, and I have perfectly competent social skills and physical looks, I always back out of any possible friendship with anyone, since I see no point to it, unless it’s for business. I really don’t care about personally knowing people who might be like me. I wouldn’t want to hang out with me; one of us would end up murdering the other at some point for some practical reason.
I’m getting really tired of people wanting to be friends with me. I keep trying to withdraw, but they treat me like I’m their buddy and want to do things with me, which I do not care for with any person. I’ve heard people take pleasure in companionship, but I don’t seem to. I act on my own and achieve what I want on my own. If I need a business relationship, I’ll make one, but I don’t make friendships for no real reason, or as an end in itself.
So what’s up with me? My parents are starting to lose it. I’m 24, and they’re always talking about how schizoid I am, or how I’m in denial about my desire to affiliate. I’m being honest when I say I don’t take pleasure in having things in common with others, or spending time with others. I don’t consider myself socially incompetent or that I’m unable to act social when necessary, but it’s never because I want to, and is for someone else any time I do it. I’m not shy or timid, and can approach people readily without a problem. It’s not a self-esteem thing; my self-esteem is fine, and I’m generally satisfied with things and myself. Others aren’t; they want me to be more social and outgoing, but I have no desire to. My father’s getting more and more frustrated as time goes on and I continue to lack interest in any kind of companionship or long-term relationship. How is that possible that I don’t feel the same way he does?

Does It Boost Your Confidence To Call Yourself A Conservative?


I can tell that some Republicans believe that are “better quality” individuals than Democrats.
It seems like it helps some people’s self esteem to call themself a Conservative since Cons stereotype themself of having morals and being rich.
They say Democrats are the poor drug addicts. But really, I think anyone who actually affiliates and pays attention to politics and the world is a “productive” person. Liberals care about the metally sick, which makes it seem like Dems are the ones with morals by caring about others.
I’m Independent though because both parties are equal in my mind and all they do is divide people

Screen-writing Experiment: I Want To Make Money Off The “tween” Market…?


Alright, so Zac Efron is a 5000 year old mummy who comes back to life (also he’s blue, not avatar blue but more of a silvery blue) to find his true love, (I’ll make up some back-story about a curse and make him like the guy who was the male escort of Queen Hatshepsut) but Queen Hatshepsut hasn’t come back to life so he has to do battle with an evil secret society then fall in love with some girl who is really pretty but she’s wearing glasses in her first scene so everyone will assume she’s a bookish nerd with no self-esteem.
Box Office Gold.
