I do not have a social life
I basically don't interact with anyone. People I don't even know say I'm indifferent or dead. I am defective in that area. I have little motivation but I need to talk to some people for like career connections and stuff. I don't want be in a crappy career just cause I'm asocial and will probably try to leech off the government. I live in the southern areas of the US with my poor asian parents expecting a doctor/lawyer without doing anything. I'm getting okay grades in my maybe useless major I prefer but I'm not sure what to do exactly with my limited social skills. Many students/professors in my university have a amazing history and are doing way better things like having rich parents, clubs and leaderships, events, and traveling around foreign places during vacations. I don't even know how to support myself. But it's no so bad.

Socialising is so overrated. I'm in a field that requires me to interact/talk to people/patients every single day and I just got to the point where I dont even listen anymore. I just tune them out when they start telling me their life story.
It's much better to have just 2 or 3 close friends that you can trust.
I learned in my psychology class that happiness in life (and lowering the chances of suicide) is to have a good social life. Get out there and talk to people man.
money, its always money i tell you.
Then start talking with people?
step 1: join a club
step 2: talk with 1 person
step 3: get their number
step 4: text them every so often
step 5: friendz
i had the same problem as you during my first year in college. I joined my engineering soceity and bam, friendz.
Realize that this world doesn't owe you squat. Once you come to the realization that employers don't have to hire your, and that beautiful women don't owe you anything to give you their number. This world is hard, and we do not choose where and whom we are born into. In the the game of life it is not the horrid hand we are dealt, but the way we choose to play it that determines who we are as individuals.
You and you alone are to blame for your asocial life.
If there's anything that you will learn in life, it's that "it's who you know."
Connections are everything.
Clubs, clubs, clubs and time management.
Find any way to boost your sociability and likeability, participate in all sorts of new and seemingly fun things.
Make exciting, enthusiastic friends but don't forget your old buddies.
Get as much additional income as you can.
Uhh... I'm gonna stop before this becomes an improve your life in 101 steps booklet.
At least you use Facebook.
High five! I have the same thing. Or in this case, I don't have a social life either.
ok?
good talk
get out there
