ManifestedISO Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Find and listen to a good podcast in a specific genre you enjoy, say with two or three hosts who speak well, and have interesting things to say about stuff you love. Make a drink, add music in a new tab, fluff the couch cushions--all while interjecting your own comments (even if they can't hear you, because it's a recording, from people thousands of miles away, who are probably sleeping while you're drinking and fluffing)--and it can feel just like being at party where everyone is witty and comfortable and having fun. Boom--no regrets, no hidden puke, no proximity pathogens from strangers, no carpet stains, no damaged glassware, no trips to DUI jail. Although--podcasts don't bring girls with them. Girls are nice. Maybe you should go to the party. 1 All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceVC Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Thinking about going to a really big party, the problem is none of my friends are coming with me this time because they're all currently spending their holidays on a beach far away. I don't know if I should still go and make the best out of it which probably results in drinking myself into coma out of boredom and lack of people to talk to, or not attending which would be really boooooring as well. What would you do? Woldan people have given you some sincere advice but I think its wrong because of your personality. Most people won't go to a party by themselves for a number of reasons. Personally I am an extrovert and enjoy talking to strangers but I don't think this is your strong point and to be honest its understandable. Why would anyone prefer to go to social function by themselves when they can go with people who know them?

Rosbjerg Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 I was a very serious case of introvert - and still am in many ways - It's great to learn how not to be, so you can when you want to. As most introverts will say, I love being alone I just hate being lonely. It takes effort not to be lonely and requires you being willing to take action and meet the girls and guys you wanna get to know - and taking action takes practice to make it fun. Like anything in life. or rode my bicycle past the 5 kilometer mark I was about to call you a whimp for saying this was a landmark (as I and people here, usually ride about 14+ km a day going back and from Uni/work) and then I remembered you live in mountains and promptly shut my hoe mouth. 3 Fortune favors the bald.

Woldan Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Woldan people have given you some sincere advice but I think its wrong because of your personality. Most people won't go to a party by themselves for a number of reasons. Personally I am an extrovert and enjoy talking to strangers but I don't think this is your strong point and to be honest its understandable. Why would anyone prefer to go to social function by themselves when they can go with people who know them? I'm not really an introvert, my problem is finding ''common ground'' when talking to people which is necessary to start a conversation and to get to know people & having fun. From my experience very few people share my views or interests and the lack of common ground either leads to disinterest or very basic, dull and nonconstructive smalltalk that gets me nowhere. On parties male & female strangers often approach me and want to start a conversation but I quickly realize that we have nothing in common and at this point I don't care and don't try anymore. Unless I'm so drunk that common ground becomes beating each other with chairs. I can't go with the people I know because they're all occupied right now. I've been to this party last year with friends and it was a blast. I was about to call you a whimp for saying this was a landmark (as I and people here, usually ride about 14+ km a day going back and from Uni/work) and then I remembered you live in mountains and promptly shut my hoe mouth. Yes, cycling 5 kilometers...almost vertically. The cross-section of my biking route would look like a roller coaster. On level ground (Yes, there are level places in Austria) I can do 150-200 kilometers on my bike easily. Edited June 7, 2014 by Woldan 1 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Azdeus Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Thinking about going to a really big party, the problem is none of my friends are coming with me this time because they're all currently spending their holidays on a beach far away. I don't know if I should still go and make the best out of it which probably results in drinking myself into coma out of boredom and lack of people to talk to, or not attending which would be really boooooring as well. What would you do? I'd spend that money and effort on something that I know I'd enjoy doing, maybe buy a game and play that. Speaking of wich, was invited to go with a few female friends to a burlesque club today. But we have planned to play Rogue Trader Lure of the Expanse, so screw that. I can live without boobs and overpriced drinks. 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Malcador Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 There isn't a podcast ever made which can compare to a girl you've never met before unexpectedly kissing you. I dunno, podcast seems better than dealing with the aftermath of me cuffing her for that. Feeling motivated today, so after I let my dachshund bask in the sun I think I'll crack open that C# book again and get coding something, anything. Why has elegance found so little following?

I often feel like that, but I always get an incredible energy boost when I start lifting or cycling. Its just a trick of your mind to encourage you to be a lazy bastard. If I would listen to myself and my energy levels I would hardly exercise at all because I feel really drained after work.

Blarghagh Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Spent most of the day at a local climbing park, climbing from tree to tree over thin wires and loose hanging logs 20 feet above the ground. As someone with a serious fear of heights, I'm quite proud of myself. I'm also exausted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woldan Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 As you can probably imagine from my early return - the party/festival was terrible, all my predictions came true. Spent 25 bucks on beer, waited for the fireworks and left as quickly as I could manage. But not all was in vain, I strolled back home and enjoyed the breathtakingly beautiful nightly landscape and wonderful full moon & stars. 1 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Nepenthe Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 There isn't a podcast ever made which can compare to a girl you've never met before unexpectedly kissing you. I wouldn't know, it's never unexpected when they kiss me! Everybody else at work seems annoyingly chipper. I've slept 5 hours, my flat is a sauna (no bourgeois AC in that 80s concrete block, "Finland is a cold country, we build houses to have maximum sunlight during the day!", tossers) and it's Monday. *grumble* You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep.

Woldan Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) 35 Celsius / 95F the whole week, beats the temperature in Kairo and Turkey easily. I'm not complaining but isn't Austria supposed to be in the temperate zone? I think we're the country with the hottest summers in Europe. Anyway, today I went cycling, enjoyed the sun....for a while, to prevent my reactor from going critical from all the heat I stopped at kilometer 70 or so at a small creek in the woods and had a wonderful bath. Then I ate ice cream (the only one I like)..... It was a good, hot, summer day. Edited June 9, 2014 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
