i know the problem is i don't put in enough work, i've tried in last grade and it helped a lot, i've also tried to describe things in a more mathematical way to appreciate it more and make it more immediate, so i should try doing that again, i've put a book i have from the all embracing library (Arithmetic and Algebra Again. Leaving Math Anxiety Behind Forever, Second Edition - McGraw-Hill. Britta Immergut, Jean Burr Smith (2005)) on my reader, now i just have to start reading, maybe that'll teach me the very basics, i'm hopeful ^^
in practical stuff there's nothing for me to translate so it's no problem, sadly most of my physics class had been pure math so far, maybe i should look at those topics and just see what i need to learn for those, but i wanna get a deeper understanding for the abstraction, then again i've always been more of the language/arts person, because u can literally say anything and have it be right because it's about expressing and less abt what is expressed

Anyone else completely bored of people? Not to say I dislike them, but there's just nothing new to see. It's very rare to find someone worth spending time with, to the point that I don't feel like going out of my way to meet new people.
The few people I do spend time with are usually meme spouting retards whose humor comes from watered down shit on reddit and YouTube which often originates from that defiled corpse known as 4chan a month or so before. To make matters worse, I lurk 4chan to kill time, so not only is it not really funny, by then it's incredibly grating. Pretty sure they notice this so they dial it back a lot when I'm the only other person around.
I guess a major issue is they find enjoyment in things I find incredibly mundane. Another is that they mostly don't delve very deep into their interests, but that's for another time…
I don't mean to be a downer, I do generally enjoy being around others because it means I get to do things, and I like taking care of others, but damn…
Oh, and one last thing, I don't mind you all. Most of you are interesting in your own way, before a friend recognizes my writing style and complains.

No.3294
>>3291You took the words out of my mouth, friend. I was even considering making a post about it too. While I would love to meet new people they are just so boring that I don't bother to. As you said their interests are dull to me and I spend a lot of time with stuff I don't really enjoy, simply to make time pass. Even when we have something in common like watching anime then they don't dive that deep into it, which makes talking about it basically three sentences about it and done.
Sometimes I feel like talking to somebody, sometimes so intense that I feel painfully lonely but when I start to talk to somebody this wears off very quickly because of those issues. I have two buddies left irl but it is even worse with them. Listening to them makes me feel like shit. I often ask myself if I should ditch them.
Now and then I wonder if the problem is on my side, if my interests are just too niche, too boring or whatever. I am just tired of it.

Not to say I dive deep, but I don't really watch the same stuff most people do. I guess that's more just a difference in focus. Either way, it happens too frequently.
I still have quite a few friends so I can sort of cycle through them to keep my patience. One friend is actually pretty cool. He's quite a bit more knowledgable about a hobby we have in common so he can be nice to talk to.

>>3291>Anyone else completely bored of people? Not to say I dislike them, but there's just nothing new to see. It's very rare to find someone worth spending time with, to the point that I don't feel like going out of my way to meet new people. One of the only people I like spending time with is an older relative who has something the overwhelming majority of people don't: a strong sense of curiosity. She's far from any kind of expert or intellectual (and frankly I don't consider myself one either), but she seems to take an interest in almost any subject. I can talk or show her pretty much anything I find interesting, and she'll always seem genuinely mind-blown and marvel at how knowledgeable she thinks I must be. She even seems fascinated by topics that I just find boring. Having that level of wonder about the world is something I admire as someone who feels cynical and burned out.
I have yet to meet anyone outside my family as an adult that I'd like to be around though. Maybe it would be easier to find someone in a bigger city, but the kinds of people who share similar interests with me also tend to be the kinds of people who would be likely to stab me in the back. I had one person I'd known for a long time cut off contact with me years ago just for disagreeing with him about politics (and possibly some philosophical issues).
>Another is that they mostly don't delve very deep into their interestsI'm pretty guilty of that. Part of it is that my interests are spread a bit thin due to being somewhat general (I always remember Heinlein's "specialization is for insects" quote), and another is that I feel like I lose passion for my interests after a certain amount of time. There seems to be a certain window of time where I'm really interested in a subject, and then it kind of fades away until some future point when my interest is temporarily rekindled again.
On top of that, my memory is bad and is only getting worse. If I try to have a conversation about something, I often have an obvious word or name on the tip of my tongue and can't get it out in time. That just makes me end up sounding like a retarded poseur.

>>3304>On top of that, my memory is bad and is only getting worsePushing 30 friend here again. Don't mean to overly samefriend or powerlevel but age is relevant to this. I have a friend who is in their 40s and a writer. Talented, but they make little money with their novels and supplement income with ghostwriting and even writing papers for college students, who lack a sense of curiosity, if necessary. Whatever it takes to pays the bills. Anyway, older writer friend always jokes about having early onset
I forget what it's called. They're brilliant, but notice themselves slowing a bit. Like how most athletes and programmers tend to quantitatively peak in terms of productivity in their late twenties. But they also acknowledge that there is a benefit to having gained a bit of wisdom over the years and find that more valuable then being as sharp and quick as they were in their "prime". I feel that I've lost a step in some respects compared to my teenage self, but hope to age gracefully and gain from experience despite the inevitable slow down.
>an older relative who has something the overwhelming majority of people don't: a strong sense of curiosityThis made me reflect upon how I've been reflecting upon this lately.
>specialization is for insectsBased Heinlein quoting friend.
I plan on working towards the things listed in pic related as I grow even older, but right now I feel old enough just typing out these sentiments and have to go now so I can shake my fist and yell at some kids to… get off my lawn!

>>3291I have a few friends from way back in high school that I keep in contact with and even see maybe a few times a month depending on the time of year. Overall, they're generally intelligent and successful people (more successful than my NEET ass) who can actually have a real conversation with. Occasionally some of them are guilty of making a joke that's "in" on 4chan or whatever, but most of the time when it comes to humor we have our own brand that is generally funny amongst ourselves. Perhaps I'm just lucky to have met like-minded people so early in my life. Besides my proper friends though, I rarely take interest in new people. I will occasionally reach out to people I used to know and even hang out with them, but I keep a reasonable distance.
I know the meme-spouting people you're talking about. I've certainly met some of them in person, and can confidently say the difference is quite clear. I call them, 'internet people' because the way they speak is akin to people making low-effort replies on cuckchan or reddit rather than actually conversing with the other party. You'll say something to them, and rather than engaging in conversation with a response they'll simply 'react' the way you would on the internet with some joke they know but in real life, causing the conversation to awkwardly die. I attribute this to people growing up online. This phenomenon only gets worse with younger people. I can't imagine how the kids of today, who have a phone or tablet in their hand before they can speak, will function as adults.
