Do you believe people need other people? Especially to be happy

Another user on an old thread said this:

>"Desiring intimacy is biologically ingrained into every human being, bar some insanely rare exceptions. Not everyone can be like Ted Kaczynski or Tesla and feel content in isolation and rejection. It's nigh impossible to get rid of these feelings, even if you love yourself and have plenty of hobbies. It's your body yelling at you that you NEED intimacy, because that feeling is what motivated our ancestors to actually spread their genes. You are no more capable of stopping the pain of loneliness than you are capable of stopping the pain of a traumatic injury. It's an involuntary response that exists for a purpose.
Hobbies can be helpful distractions, but they're pretty much a like putting a band-aid on a gaping head wound."

I largely agree with this. I think it depends on who you are as a person. Some people are fine on their own, but I personally need other people and close relationships to have long-term happiness, because loneliness eats me alive.

Sorry! Fucked up on the greentext, but I'm sure it's still understandable for the most part.

Are you just memeing or do you really want to talk to anyone?

Not him but I'll give it a shot. What's up?

Heh nothing much really I am just rather fond of giving talking with lonely bots a try.
Never nice to have no one around after all.

Man, tell me about it. Doesn't help that large amounts of people just aren't good at keeping a conversation going. It's awful.

yes. there is a reason isolation is the worst punishment in prison, people need other people. the idea you can be happy by yourself is 100% bullshit for 90% of people other than extreme autists

Yeah talking can be rather hard and a lot of anons do not really have any interest in it in the first place.
You either play the same games as them or watch the same stuff or you will be in for pure silence.
So if I see an user post about being lonely and wanting to talk then I at least want to give that a try then to even the odds there a bit.

You're a reaI fucking faggot

Well it's good you care enough about it. Call me a cynic but I tend to try to aim for people I know I'll at least kind of get along with.
I mean I enjoy the randomness of meeting anons and seeing what they're like, but we have a bad habit of deleting each other because ultimately no one's caught an interest.
I bet it sharpens your social skills though, so good on you, dude.

It's a psychological need that damages your body with effects that are 2x deadlier than obesity if you don't get it.

Nah, bro, you're gonna be fine. (Join an adult club and volunteer)

Yeah the randomness is quite the downside but honestly I have fund no way aside from giving people a chance to find the ones that I end up talking to longer.
Like sure I can ask about hobbies and such but at best I get a bit of a glimpse there of who the person is and anything else will take time to be seen.
Like if a person can at least string together a few posts in a thread and does not sound like they have literally every screw in their head lose then that filters out quite a lot of problem cases already.

if youre still here, we need to talk

Oh, you're absolutely right. You'll never find the good parts without digging through the bad. Anything worth a shit takes time, or so they say.
I've noticed that about the hobby question too. I thought people loved questions but I found at quick that that wasn't the case and I just came off as odd. It's always a tightrope walk because ultimately you don't know what they're looking for or what they expect, ect. And some just flat out don't make connections anyway, which just makes me ask "why the fuck did you add my discord anyway".

Heh personally I am rather fond of questions there because it can keep a conversation going easily and it shows that the other person is interested to hear more.
For me by now it is more about trying to see how the other person behaves and how they present themselves.
Interests and the like matter far less there than having compatible temperaments so to say.
Like a person with barely any interest overlap can be far more interesting to talk to if they are open to talking about things they know nothing about than someone who knows the same stuff but does not care in the slightest for how you see things there.

>Heh personally I am rather fond of questions there because it can keep a conversation going easily and it shows that the other person is interested to hear more.
See, that's exactly what I thought too. I always did it to show interest and maybe learn something new.
But what you've said makes a lot of sense, there's plenty of friends I've made that have way different interests than I do. It's all about how you mesh.
Fuck it, you seem cool. Here's my tag.

no. not intimately at least. i have no friends or gf and i dont care much about it and im generally okay in mood. i would go crazy if i couldnt shitpost online and tall to anons though.

What do you want to talk about, user? I am still here.

i think some people are able to be happy and thrive without other people but they are often sabotaged by FOMO

I just hope you're alright. Cheating sucks, I know exactly how you feel. Don't let it ruin things for you, trust me.
I can't get into it here because it's sappy bullahit but i hope you're alright

No. People are crutches.
Build yourself alone, that is the only way to be whole. One must complete this task before allowing themselves to be socialized in any capacity. In the mind lies the impetus, in the world lies the truth, in man lies deceit.

Humans are social creatures that begin to go mad without stimulation or contact with others. This has been proven.

Normies do. Me. I am revolted by company.

Yes. I'm not sure if it needs to be people you know in real life or internet friends is enough, though. By posting on Yas Forums, you're already admitting you need to interact with other people.

Yes.
I'm 26 and the older I get the more lonely I become. It's nice to talk to someone at least once a day with. Even it's just a couple texts. The older you get the more apparent this fact is.
Really don't think there is anything in the Universe worse than loneliness.

yes, hungry skin is a real thing

skin to skin contact/cuddling is innate to all land mammals
I'm sure you see or hear people everyday whether in person or on a screen. You have no idea what actual isolation is like.

loneliness shrinks your hippocampus. but it's reversible
