So is there anyone else that just does not care to "hang out"

[Kitsym]

i can relate to much in this thread cause I'm a bit of a hermit...

but i'd rather work and chill by my self... people always fuck my business up!!

 

[paper_clip]

Don't feel alone, I'm about twenty years younger, I have virtually no friends, all I do is smoke and work. Sometimes I even try to be social but it really just doesn't work for me, some of my family tries to get me to be outgoing and all but it just doesn't appeal to me. I do it sometimes especially if it's a special occasion like a birthday or holiday or something but honestly actually prefer being to my self, especially when I have a whole lot of green to burn hehehehe.

But seriously I hope to change one day, I really don't want to be alone for all my life but right now it's too hard to fit other people into my schedule, and it's even harder if they don't grow because...it's hard to trust people who know you have a seemingly unlimited access to some fire smoke.

i tend to focus on work and things around the house more...but i need to go out at least 1-2 times a week..nothing too crazy like staying out doing coke till 5am, but usually hit the bar or a friends house and drink/smoke until satisfied.

when im home in seclusion i think sometimes that its better to stay in, but once you are outside and about you realize shit is way funner to go out experiance things....i would hate to be a hermit you only live once go out and enjoy shit!

but shit if certain things make you happy than by all means...i enjoy staying home and playing COD too but i definately cant do it all the time...i enjoy walking around the city late night with a can of beer and a paint marker thats good times for me..

i hear ya 110%

Wow, who would have thought so many people on an internet forum community would agree about not really liking to go out. LMFAO

I'm the same way, I don't really go out that much to socialize but do like to go out and go hiking or to the beach or whatever. Icmag is cool cause theres a lot of wisdom layed down by smart folks who are quiet in real life that you won't really catch on your day to day.

I do go a bit stir crazy if I don't go out (socialising) once or twice a week. Some people aren't worth the time though.

Maybe my standards are too high but most friends I have end up letting me down. Usually either betraying trust, selfishness, not keeping their word, passive aggressive bs. I would do a lot for those I consider as a friend and have foolishly assumed they would do the same. One or two do measure up and I appreciate them all the more as I now realise how rare they are.

To me ICmag is sort of a stoners social network. I am sure some of us meet up and what never despite the rules, but most of us just chat our stoney world up here and also learn about legal stuff and growing.

Being social is a waste of time, in the end I always get burned.

I work 8+ hours working in the trades. After a long day of humping material, or installs, the last thing I want to do is "hang out". Not to mention tending the plants on a daily basis, and home improvement projects. I tend to wake up at 4-5am to get to work at 5:30-6:30am. Work 8 hours, come home and put in 3 or so hours of home work, then cook dinner. Most nights I am lucky if I have eaten my dinner by 7pm. After all this I don't feel like doing anything but maybe roller blade in my ally with my dogs.

Another thing I have going against me is all my friends start work at 8-9am. I have been at work for 3 hours by this time. I just can't stay up as late as them because of this.

Hermit for sure.

What happens if it's not friend that stay too damn long but family? Got a younger step bro that all he wants to do is come over here and play call of duty and smoke my weed and hash all day and sometimes late into the night. Love the fucker but feel like a dick when I explode on him cause I see him too damn much.

Tell him your Xbox broke and your dog ate your stash.

You should go ahead and just say whats on your mind. You will have a happier life and he will get over it and if he doesn't he is a spoiled child. Tighten up your belt and tell the dude.

oh right if were talking about hanging out as in with people not worth having a conversation with (ie deadweight holding you back creatively and intellectually) then i cut them out of my life a long time ago,,

i sat there in so many clubs and bars and my brain would be thinking other level shit while im sat their with some monkeys pouring slop down their throats and falling over,,

but thats the uk where the national past times are alcoholism,, that and watching football (not american arm ball) whilst drinking,,

i seriously did all that side of life anyway and im lucky i didnt get alcohol poisoning by the time i was 18,, but i didnt end the stupidity because i was around "stupid" people though they werent stupid at all and work in the big dirty city now propping up evil,,, but they were tricked by this system,,

luckily i always had ganja since before i started drinking and she told me what was right from wrong,,

I totally relate to that

i used to be a socialite.....nowadays the 'american dream'....aka poverty....rules the day and socializing(the current form of it anyway...) is not an option...........

except alot of my income is based on the 'networking' thing to the point where if im not out in peoples ears, rubbin the elbows, greasin the skid....then my payola goes way down or goes away.

then you look at what 'socializing' is today. i do not follow sports, any TV/internet cultural gems......then people start talking politics......when you believe all politics and the economy is a ponzi scheme, ya cant really swallow it when people spout shiza about obama's 2nd term or how the ovenMitt is gonna turn the country around.....shoot me in the head please!

....or it could be that i'ma anarcho-primivist luddite that believes we live largely wasteful lives, we all participate in the nasty destruction of our land/air/water fervently everyday and i long for the spectacle/ponzi of western culture to not be in my world....

so, when y'all wanna hang out?

 

[s13sr20det]

I've found that most of the people (can't really call them friends) who want to 'hang out' just want to smoke my weed.

 

[mrcreosote]

I never hang out anymore...

The voices in my head keep me company and they are always available, no driving.
That Satan fellow always has good stories and gossip to keep me entertained but it is a bit strange to have him use my dog talk to me.

He's always after me to kill people but other than that he's a pretty fun guy to have around.

I dunno, going out is something I have to do on a regular basis. It keeps me sane I suppose. I go out to a show(concert) at least once a week at the local dive bar, go out to dinner at least 2 nights a week with the misses and some friends.. I go to a buddies house at least once a week and roll up a blunt and check out his garden. Usually there for 2-3 hours a long with the rest of our circle. I think having level headed and fun friends keeps it going.. I am also 28 and have a son. I spend most of my time with him, but he's out at 7-8 every night, then it becomes dad and moms time. And I take care of a nice sized garden.. lol wow I am one busy mofo.

I used to be kind of a hermit. I gradually started to spend more time out socializing and hanging out with friends. The last 4 years I mostly spent hanging out at home with my wife. Now that she's gone, I miss that. I have friends I can hang out with, but I need someone new. Someone who enjoys my weed, someone who laughs at my jokes, someone who blows me every once in a while. She has to be female, that part's not optional. I don't think I'll go back to the hermit lifestyle. Being with someone is better than being alone, at least it is for me.

I'm 25 and kind of a hermit. I live with my mom since I've been mostly unemployed the last couple years. Had jobs here and there but nothing longer then a couple months. I go hiking a lot since its free but, I don't really go out to social places much. Mainly because I have no money and no one to go with. I haven't even been on a date in years. I feel that if I had some sort of income and my own place I would socialize more. It also doesn't help that most of my good friends moved away and the closest one I have is a county away. I guess I just feel a bit beaten and don't really know how to get out of my current depressing situation.
