(response to trolling removed)

Back to the topic, one poster said they moved a lot and were raised academically. I am the complete opposite as my parents worked in a factory until i was almost in highschool, but i taught myself a lot so i had a similar situation. My district also brings everyone to one school except it happened in 7th grade. I had a tough year because i didn't know many people and I was just a general bitch to all my old friends. I was able to salvage this over the summer and now i'm doing alright. I don't get along with everyone but I don't know anyone who does. The thing that saved me was learning how to talk with people who are the opposite of me. I would consider myself on the higher end of the academic spectrum (and have standardized test scores to prove it) but I get along fine with people who have some mental issues and need help. I might not be great friends with them but I am able to socialize fine. I'm not going to try to choose a side as to social skills or being yourself, but I would have to suggest getting to know people who have similar interests as you. I seem to come off as rude a lot but somehow I made it so it's funny and people aren't to bothered by it. I make fun of a lot of people too (I'm not a bully i only do it a little bit to some people who I know can take it and it's more like what friends do to each other). This helped boost my confidence some. I still have issues but I generally work around them. I don't want to give particular advice because I don't have the knowledge to do so, but hopefully this helped in some way.

I don't have any problems like ADHD or autism that I know of.
I'm of a similar age with you too btw.

EDIT: There seems to be quit a lot of conflicting information here.

I have a lot of sympathy for my fellow social retards....and I also carry a lot of resentment for the human pathologies most of us here seem to express.  We have been bullied by our inferiors to the point where we have to dumb ourselves down just to be accepted by the morons.  DONT DO IT!!!  Number one, youll never be accepted.  Number two, you will just hate yourself more and more for not being able to hide yourself 100% of the time.  I spent all of high school trying to fit in with the cool kids.  I actually succeeded fairly well....and I regret it horribly.  If I could do it all over again I would have told the 'cool kids' to go fuck themselves and enjoy that dead end career for the next five or six decades once school is out.  I wish I could go back and hang out with only the nerds and weirdos and the people that were so smart they were basically insane.

Should Einstein have dumbed himself down to fit in?  I guess Leonardo da Vinci should have spent less time drawing things 500 years ahead of his time and spent more of his time working on his awkward walk?  What a waste of a rare life!!!!!!

Come on!!!  Fuck these morons.  If they have a problem with the way you walk its because they are complete wastes of space, who are probably neurotic about their own failings and so spend all day pointing at others' failings in a vain attempt to make themselves feel like a champion.  They are worthless people with nothing to offer the world except causing the mental breakdown of our rare and invaluable geniuses.  I dont know why women prefer to bend over for tattooed slack jawed yokels in hummers....but they just do.  That doesnt make YOU the inferior one.  It makes THEM inferior for still selecting mates based on skillsets that have not been advantageous since the bronze age.  We're just talking apes afterall, so it is not surprising that we still show a lot of ape like behavior.

YOU on the other hand, represent a skillset much more adapted to the emerging modern world.  YOU are the future.  YOU should not be sitting around crying about what a failure you are.  YOU have the responsibility to our species to make sure you do not dumb yourself down.  YOU have the responsibility to keep yourself sane and with enough self-confidence so that you can function and contribute to the world that which only a few people are even capable of contributing. 

Big up yourself!!!

I believe it's genii.
Jokes aside I thought this was good advice but that is just my humble opinion.

I think the eugenicism and misogyny in that post are kind of disgusting.

I would have liked to have kept that for myself, because I'm kind of tired of being everyone's police.  But this is a point where I think it's actually necessary to say something.  Please rethink what you have to tell someone worried about their poor social skills.

Clearly your bronze age brain fails to appreciate how uniquely valuable a level 80 elf paladin is in today's society.

Oh, my god.

No.  There will be no fighting over this :I  No attempts at hipster nerd samurai waitress outclassing.

Okay?

[MrGimp]

To the OP,

See....not everyone is going to agree with you.  You can stand up with the best intentions of helping someone find strength and a belief in themselves, and some people are just going to come along and call you a nazi and a woman hater.  lol   

You're just going to have to find the people you have more in common with and be friends with those people.  Dont worry about the people that dont get you.  There is ALWAYS going to be someone who doesnt like you, or doesnt get what your saying, or doesnt like your sense of humor, or whatever.  You just have to shrug your shoulders sometimes and not worry about it.

Yes master.  Please tell us more about what we can and cannot say.  We need our marching orders.

If that were true then you wouldnt do it.

If I felt really pedantic, I also would have pointed out that the ideal level was between 1 to 10, but in any case no higher than 20, if you wanted to apply the WoW-troll meme.

Anyway my point is, bullshit ought to be adressed directly.
A lot of people hide behind their witty, sarcastic commtents and make a joke out of it, which really doesn't help.
There are simply too much self-proclaimed comedians running around here.

But whatever, feel free to ignore me.
I'm simply having one of those days...

[kotekzot]

the WoW-troll meme.

Huh?

[Vector]

If that were true then you wouldnt do it.

I'm tired of a lot of things, but I keep doing them anyway.

I'm more tired of the bullshit that I keep stepping in on these forums than I am of calling it out.

Haha.

You're right, it is funny to talk about how inferior other people are, and how inferior any woman is who doesn't date you--indeed, blanketing them in general as an inferior class, valued in terms of the folks for whom they choose to "bend over."  I think the best part of your post was when you pretty much called him the next stage of evolution, compared him to DaVinci and Einstein, and said that anyone who had a beef with him was worthless.  Truly inspiring.  You make me want to hop off the internet, regress all my social skills, and go back to being the genius I surely would have been, had I only ignored peer pressure.

Too bad I'm a girl, isn't it?

This could have almost been hilarious.

I dunno, the joke works fine even if you don't specify whether the level 80 elf paladin is a blood elf or one of the other types of elves you can play as.

I dont know why women prefer to bend over for tattooed slack jawed yokels in hummers....but they just do.  That doesnt make YOU the inferior one.  It makes THEM inferior for still selecting mates based on skillsets that have not been advantageous since the bronze age.  We're just talking apes afterall, so it is not surprising that we still show a lot of ape like behavior.

If anyone hasn't noticed the incredible degree of sexism in MrGimp's post, here it is.

[MrGimp]

If I had made a comment about how men competed with each other over who had the biggest johnson, or who was the strongest and most intimidating ape, I know for a fact you wouldnt have complained at all.  If I had mentioned that men are biologically programmed to be attracted to women that have large milk bearing breasts and large child bearing hips (a bubble butt) you most likely would have agreed and said 'Yeah!  Men are pigs!'.  But if I point out a negative ape trait that many women have inherited, I am a misogynist?  I get it.  Women are perfect, right?  I think it is funny that my browser's spellchecker recognizes the word misogyny, but it does not recognize the word misandry.  My browser is a lot like you.

...and how inferior any woman is who doesn't date you...

Gee...I totally didnt see that one coming.  You really showed me.  Yep.  You really are a better person than me.  Saying morons are inferior to brainiacs is obviously wrong.  But coming into a thread where someone is asking for help with their social awkwardness and then laughing at guys who cant get laid with a new chick every week is just so classy.

...blanketing them in general as an inferior class...

Read my post again and show me the spot where I said women are an inferior class.  Its not there and you know it.  I simply mentioned their genetic predisposition to like mating with what they perceive as the strongest males.  This is a biological fact, just as men liking big boobs and butts is a biological fact.  Are there women who will date a man that is not the strongest?  Sure.  There are also men that will date women that dont have big boobs.  That does not disprove the fact that both genders have a biologically defined sexual *preference*. 





People who push others around and make them so self-conscious they cant even walk down the hall without feeling like a complete loser ARE inferior.  The world would be a better place without people like that.  I know it 'feels good' to think of everyone as being totally equal in every way, and that Snookie and Flava Flav are just as valuable to the human race as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking....but its just not true.  Period.  End of story.  No amount of wishing will change the facts of life. 

The plumbing system that flushes the feces out of your house?  Designed by socially awkward nerds who never got laid.  The car you drive?  The engine that runs it?  The highway system it drives on?  All designed by socially awkward nerds who never got laid.  The refrigerator that keeps your food edible?  Nerds.  The computer you are using?  Nerds.  The internet?  Nerds.  Your cell phone?  The satellites they transmit through?  The rockets that launched those satellites?  All nerds.  Nerds that were picked on, beat up, and given swirlies.  They grow up so socially abused that many commit suicide.  They feel so isolated that their only outlet is to come to a website on the internet where no one they know in real life can make fun of them, and they bear their soul to strangers by admitting their flaws and their weaknesses (which is VERY hard for a male ape, whether nerd or not).  They need someone to remind them that they are not the shit on the bottom of someone's shoe, not someone who will laugh at them because theyre not a ladies man.  They need someone to remind them that they have value, and that they need to live up to their potential for the good of us all.  I was happy to remind the OP of that.  If you want to get your feelings hurt on behalf of the Snookies and Flava Flavs of the world thats your problem.
