So if someone isn't really into hanging out...is that a problem for you?

[darkstar12]

Ok, so I hate hanging out for any length of time socially, I am good for maybe an hour, two hours tops but thats it, and even than I can only do that once or twice a month.....

Why ? Not because I am anti-social (though that has a little to do with it, Im uncomfortable in large social situations), but because I work, alot...I usually only have one or two weekends out of the month free and during my limited free time I simply prefer to be productive and pursue my hobbies as opposed to sitting around and doing nothing but drink beer and smoke weed.

So instead of sitting around with a bunch stoners doing nothing but drinking and smoking an afternoon away, I will usually be going out on a long bike ride (avg 20-30 miles), or will get baked and go on a long hike (typically ten miles), or go kayaking...

I've extended open invitations to anyone that wants to join me on one of these excursions to do so...so far no takers...

Curious about this since I've only met a few others who are like me....Not really into the hanging out part that goes along with the marijuana culture, but like to smoke and would just rather be productive while doing so...

Others seem to have a big issue with it....even people that I generously share my stash with..

What say ICMAG?

I'm the same way as you. There is too much good time in every day that i'm above ground to be wasting any of it. Thankfully it's that time of year, and I have begun my outdoor projects. So now I can tend to my plants all day everyday. Get to take care of the outdoor stuff during the day, and do the indoor thing at night time. I like to work, period. If it can be with my plants it makes me even happier.

Same here...I am in a constant battle with time wasters...

I also turn 46 this year, and the last thing I am interested in doing is sitting around wasting time doing nothing..Like the OP I may pop in to visit someone once in awhile, but at most those visits last no more than an hour. I always get, the "whats the hurry" crap...of course many of these people either do not work, or work normal, non-career type jobs that are much less demanding.


To be honest it will probably mean the end of my growing since I do that mainly as a financial supplement....I've found that many people don't want to do business with you no matter how generous you are unless you spend copious amounts of time with them.

 

[HOPS5K]

I feel the same way as the rest of you. Lots of time wasting going on it seems.

It just gets so boring, old and tedious just sitting around doing jack crap for hours on end. Even if you are smoking copious amounts of herb, it still is just sitting around and that's no fun.

I go walking or hiking just about every day now that it's warm out. Plan on spending some time fishing and swimming this summer along with some camping in new spots.

Tons of stuff to do now that the weather is warm...Outdoors + Cannabis = Good Times

I'm an introvert and I like time to myself, some people can't seem to understand that. They just want to hang out all the time, they get pissed when you don't want to sit around and play video games all friggin day long and smoke. I have work and shit to do. I can stand maybe an hour tops then I need to get doing something and get time to myself again to relax. Boy some people get down right pissy about it and take it personal or something even though it has nothing to do with them.

 

[Enchantre]

I love getting mildly stoned, and going for long walks... yesterday, it was in the rain.

I've not gone bike riding yet while stoned... it's still really rainy here, so I'm waiting for actual sunshine for that.

I have found that, with MMJ, my "need" to be constantly "doing" something is greatly reduced. This is a good thing for me.

 

[supermanlives]

I do a lot of kayaking. ya I don't hang out much. just sitting around stoned gets boring . ocean kayaking however is fun.

<~~~ Introverted pot head

I like to get out and do stuff, but I like to do stuff like climb a mountain or go on a long walk thru the woods, not many people want to do that.

Luckily my woman likes the same things I like so we don't really need anyone else to have a good time.

I don't really do the friend thing as I tend to think and feel very different about things then most people, I just don't find people I click with very often. My problem with most people is they either need their ego stroked, are too easily offended or need to much moral support, Im just not into any of that.

Plants make the best friends

I'm ok in social situations for a bit. The more folks there are, the quicker I get tired. Being introverted doesn't make you antisocial, it's just more draining to socialize for an introvert than an extrovert.

As far as wasting time, that is my main mission in life. So far I'm acing this dang thing!

That's exactly what I was going to say. Read it on a forum once and all of a sudden I understood myself better. It's not that I don't like people...ok, I do...but I can hang out and have fun with people it's just very tiring for me.

I try to justify being alone as not needing others to make me feel happy but the truth is, we all need social interaction to some extent. Some more than others. I just need to get outdoors more like you guys. Nature is where it's at.

Honestly, I don't think you'll get many people here saying that people like us are a problem as most people who would object aren't reading forums, they're hanging out with friends.

Friend's can be expensive ... Friend's of friend's can be a pain..
People are stupid and I accept them for who they are...
All my split personalities are cool people so we just chill and keep it simple..


Where's my pipe..

 

[DamnUglyDogE]

Wait.... What....

 

[entheogen]

Another heavy duty introvert here. I have a very small group of friends plus family and that's just fine with me. Most of the time I would just rather be alone anyway. I don't dislike peoples company. I just don't understand them and them me...and I've always been this way as far as I can remember.
Absolutely can not tolerate sitting around doing nothing. Hiking, biking, gardening, fishing, hell I even like cleaning if the alternative is sitting around doing nothing. It drives my wife crazy. I even have a hard time watching a movie all the way through. Life is too short to be bored.

[amannamedtruth]

Nothing wrong with wanting to move around, keeps you healthy in more ways than one.

 

[jburns]

Weed in the late 60s/ early 70s made most people more energetic and sociable vs. weed now.

 

[shuckeye]

It takes all kinds of folks to make a world. Personally, I like spending time by myself and staying somewhat busy. Might call me the loner type. I worked around people all of my life but now that I don't work on a regular job much of my time is spent by myself. I do like people and need them in my life but I prefer aloneness as contrasted to being a stoner and just hanging out.

I tend to agree with you. Seems like it was mostly Sativa that was smoked about where I lived at that time. But, now the new breeders tend to mix up the Sativa with Indica and that might be the cause. However, there is weed about that is quite motivational and conducive to socialization. Just have to seek it out. My best to all!
