Well as others have mentioned ITT, it's likely the Introversion/Extroversion differences >.>

I would be perfectly happy spending several months without seeing friends/hanging out/going out and the like. There have been times when that has been the case, but it's never left me feeling bored or strained.

If it was put into simple illustrative terms, if people had an energy bar for social interactions then for some people it's charged up by interacting and for others it is drained. Conversely the effects of solitude drain the energy (creates boredom and restlessness) of extroverts and it recharges that of introverts.

For me personally, the amount of energy 'drained' depends on the type of interaction. Very few people have a negligible effect on it, they are the sort I can spend a couple of days with and not find myself exhausted by it. Others I can only talk to for a short period of time before I'm weary. I'd say that also correlates to whether they are intro/extroverted. My introverted friends I can spend a lot more time with than my extroverted friends.
Then you have the least draining form of interaction, forums/skype groups/PMs. I can do that all day and not find myself overly tired (And I do, lol) However sometimes even that becomes too intrusive and tiring, so I disappear for a while to recharge >.>

One thing that I've learned, is that rather than letting introversion run your social life to the point of withdrawal (Which is me from 2012-2014) it's better to learn to adapt it/manage it. Spacing out visits from friends, planning ahead meticulously so you don't find yourself exhausted from talking to meatbags and the like <.<

Whilst I *understand* extroversion, it still simply doesn't click. It's apples and oranges, the thought of being recharged and refreshed simply by talking to people is quite... alien >_>

What's not to get?

It's the investment/profit thing
The more energy you put in social interaction, the more likely you will gain acceptance and a "safety net"

Of course many people don't like to put that much effort into friendship and there's also the chance that it will fail

Online interaction, forums, and PMs [in my all humble opinion] is the most pathetic type of interaction
It requires no energy and most of the time, you're just covering yourself with a mask of false acceptance

It's a low stakes game for those who are too pussy brained to play real life
No consequences, no need for any effort on anybody

That's why all of you [us] are fucking bitch ass motherfuckers

I think you are looking at this too absolutely.

It's not a matter of avoiding forming friendships and IRL interactions, it's just whether or not you find doing that tiring or not. It goes without saying that forming safety nets and networking (I hate that term, but it applies well here) is a crucial part of life as a social species of animal. That doesn't mean everyone finds it energising to do so <.<

Sure some people might use online communications as their only form of interaction, but I wouldn't put that down to being a pussy or a bitchass motherfucker. For some, social anxiety inhibits and hinders their IRL interactions and so rather than isolating themselves fully and cutting themselves off from the world they keep a foot in the door whilst they are recovering. It can be overcome, more easily for some than others but it's just an example of why it's not right to judge people so harshly for not being the most outgoing, chipper model citizen that is the ideal people strive to be <.<

Isn't that just burn scarring?

I have no idea, but the different eyes make her look like half white/black.

Yeah <.<

My caption thread, if I do say so myself.

Oh god yes, there was a certain picture in there that gave me stitches from laughing too hard.

Scrubs no contest, like at all.

House could maybe give it a closer run, but it's hard to dethrone the king of all time >_>

Heh, that was quite amusing.

You could tell Daz had created it <.<

This is both a zero discussion thread and calling users out. Good one!

I doubt any will ever leave me crying, but it's going to be a shitty day on earth when clint eastwood dies <.<

A little bit, yeah.

I think it depends on how you got it though.

Say you SR'd 3000 times to get it, that's a lot of work so the reward of finally getting the shiny will probably make it quite special for you. Same with Masuda Method, even if it's a guaranteed shiny eventually the effort/work put in makes the reward a bit more special.

Hacks/ARs though, that takes all of the fun away.

I've got quite a lot of shinies from all of the methods apart from SR/Hacks and I think this is roughly how I'd rank it in terms of satisfaction for finding.

1. Masuda Method
2. Random Encounter
3. Wondertrade
4. Chaining

Ish.

Psychology is a pseudo-science.
Anyone who is studying it is wasting their time.

fuck off with your fake medicine, faggot

Now now, quieten down before you upset the other patients.

Hmm, I do quite like the exodus storyline >.>

I would like to see more about the Final Light one though, it could be quite intriguing <.<
Human evolution/mutation is one of my favourite sci-fi things >.>
