Has anyone else lost any urge to be social anymore?

[tmacattack33]

I used to care about my social life a lot a couple years ago. I made an effort to keep talking to a lot of high school buddies and college buddies. I had to make an effort to be cool too, so that I could stay a part of these circles too of course.

But right now, with NBA League Pass/NFL Sunday Ticket/Youtube/Netflix/Insidehoops/Sports Betting/Fantasy Sports/X-Box/Going to the Gym, my need for a social life has just faded away.

Of course i still want to get girls, so me and this one buddy wingman it up for each other at a bar every few weeks and have a good time, but that's only once a week or two.

Has this happened to anyone else with all these entertainment options you have now?

Yeah, me personally, I'd rather just stay home and smoke instead of going to a bar and then trying to Uber back. I can drink at home, and my place is big enough to have people over.

Other than sporting events and the occasional festival, I'm pretty much an inside cat. I mean if you count my company flag football and basketball teams as social, I guess I do that too. But that's more for exercise (to me) than anything.

Losing it years ago.

It usually fades away when people start working after college I feel. There only a few exceptions I can think of. Graduate students are also nearly always busy with their own work. Grad school is significantly harder than undergrad from what I've heard.

people lose time to be social more than lose the urge. when you get older and start having more responsibilities you cant really party all the time. having kids is the big one. when you start to have kids you aren't going to be able to see your friends as often, its just a fact of life.

I lost it for 6 months when I lost my last ex. Just hard for me to regain it. I've got girls begging to be in a relationship, girls I tried getting into a relationship with and I felt the urge to back out because I quickly see flaws. I have one girl here, begging every day after not responding for an entire month, I finally caved in to make it work and give it another chance.

Ever since I got over my ex recently, I actually feel more anti social considering I don't even want a girl now. I just rather fck a few side chicks and call it a night. Come home after college, repeat.

[HeatFanSince88]

nope.

It's still ****ing awesome doing shit with your boys. Whenever me and my guys have an event planned I look forward to it for at least a month in advance.

even shit like video games, playing online xbox by yourself doesn't even compare to having your buddies over and going 4man+ on mario party or smash bros.

anyone that feels this way probably just doesn't have good friends. it doesn't hurt that most people today are just ******s that don't want anything to do with anyone unless they benefit from them. "oh this guy can't introduce me to girls!" "Oh this guy isn't rich!" "I'd rather not even deal with him!"

I had some friends in the past, where in order to keep the relationship going I just had to put way too much effort on my end. Initiating the conversations, finding stuff to do. In those instances the relationship just kind of faded because I grew tiresome of having to put all that effort in on my end and lots of time the dude would bail anyway.

No, it's become a bit of a routine. I go to Tae Kwon Do 4-5 times a week and go dancing every other sat with my dance club friends. These fit into my schedule so they've become habitual.

It's harder once you get older. People are busy, and when they do have free time, they might not have the energy/interest/money, etc I meet with my friends every Sunday to watch the Bengals games at the local bar with Sunday ticket, but other than that, it's extremely hit or miss. They all have girlfriends, busy jobs, etc. It's definitely a lot different hanging out with people now than when I did back in college.

[nathanjizzle]

yeah, its called maturing.

**** dude, I haven't left the house for a week lol.

Not really, I usually get the urge to go out by Friday night. I've definitely started cutting back by staying in more often on a Friday or Saturday but if you are comparing your social life to what it was in college then it's not really a fair comparison.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

If I'm not hanging with my closest friends or family on weekends, I'm alone enjoying a movie.

I was far more social in college. At one point senior year, I was at a bar either having a drink or dinner with friends on a weekly basis. We found a cheap bar with some real solid dinner food and used to meet up there sometimes after studying in the library or the gym. One of my friends was incredibly social and he was cool with me so I often had the chance to go out with his friends (knew some of them personally) nearly every weekend. But I always got caught up in assignments/studying especially later on in college when they became more time consuming. The kid's birthday party though was by far the best night I've ever had in college. What went down had me rolling :roll:

[Shade8780]

i think most here are introverts. i definitely am. too lazy to do stuff with friends, unless we're going to see a movie or something.

Myself from society I banished. To Dagobah I went.
