SHUT IN THREAD FAQ
=======================================
>What do I do in the threads?
Talk to people, make conversation. Don't try to get into anyone's pants. It is a social thread on /soc/, for actually being social, without nudity!
>Wait, is this some super-secret cool kids' club where you can only be some sort of shut-in freak to participate in?
No, we are moderately tolerant of normalfags here. Feel free to participate, just don't be a dick.
>I DON'T LIKE ___________
Discuss it with us, but civilly. If you are spouting out cusswords and insults because you don't like something, chances are, it is not going to change and you will be blown off as some anally pained droll. Now, if you are civil, people will work with you.
>What's an IRC?
It is a chatroom for the shut-in group.
Use either Hexchat (https://hexchat.github.io/) or https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.rizon.net/#shut-in-network

I really thought all of the friends to us. While I continue to have it praise most of you, please enjoy There are many under. In shut, my only I get the daily social interaction of when I was in here.
So I am looking forward to the things that have been followed by chat, but I think I'm pathetic, you will wake up. I really have the things, it is it is I is is you, it is the content that you know it's that it is a silly or strange, and you enter what you are thinking.
I you have a humor that you you always it will be able to understand what you think you are, he is, since it is possible to accommodate, at least I am, look at some of the value of the joke shitposts , is my sense of everyone.
I you I orbiter is it only of it did not know the chat der Rukoto that are shitting is believed to be able to see me. I'm sorry. I stupid feeling.
So that you can abandon the PM only to discord, if you want to be friends, it is everyone is purely user name my you in my Skype. When I thought that made it for me, I'm all of the gravy, one-third of the community, there is this.
Please and I can not be the child of copypasta kill sacred fuck shit.

>What are you looking for?
Not much - music, mainly. I'm always in the mood to have more music in my collection of bookmarks. Other than that, I can be an ear for you guys; I find how people are in different situations and their mentality interesting but instead of nodding and going "and how does that make you feel?" I'll actually try and come up with solutions. It sucks to not be in a good place and if you wanna vent then you can.
>Who do you want to add you?
People who want to share music. So long as it's not too pop-y or trap (lots of hissing over someone rapping, mainly) then I'll probably like it. Odds are I'll have something similar that hardly anyone's heard of.
Also people to talk to - I'm always up for stopping what I'm doing to have a natter with you guys (Smoking/Studies allow)

I've lost touch with some people from here which is a shame (I blame myself being a mild social retard that can only reeaallllyy hold a conversation and not start one properly).
I wonder if any still lurk here and don't post? I'm sorry if me pinging about your day got too much or something, it's just how I usually start conversations in the real world

why is everyone so god damn sensitive?
>>23613549
Lack of Self-Esteem?
>>23613549
Lack of social capabilities to either take things as a joke or not read the sarcasm in the text (that bit is a little tricky, I'll admit)
>>23613593
I've actually had so much problem with using sarcasm over text. Normally when I use it, they don't understand. When I try to explain it as sarcasm, they take it as backpedaling and assume I was serious. It's tricky. Yo.
>>23613579
I have no self esteem, and i'm not even as sensitive as some of the people here
>>23613623
The only thing I can suggest to cure low/no self esteem would be to list the things that you are good at that could be considered 'productive.' Vidya doesn't count unless you're korean. If you come up empty then that's your problem - go learn a skill, even if it's something like computing or teaching. That way, you know something so you therefore have something to offer in social situations, relationships and uneducated people, which improves your worth to others and therefore yourself.
If that idea's not good, list the family and friends that you get along with or speak to on at least a weekly basis. If this is empty, go make some friends. Get into nice, easy things that everyone will lap up. Everyone is impressed with someone who knows how to create, whether that is drawing, woodwork, sculpting or cooking. I usually cheat and share music I've found with people - I'm a fan of almost anything and collect links to share with others and to listen to when the mood hits me; only listening to metal won't make me friends with people who don't or are not interested in metal. Knowing what is good/related for a general subject such as cooking or music means you have knowledge about something almost everyone participates in, increasing your worth.
But wait, there's a third option! Self esteem is you simply evaluating yourself. Most of the time, people have multiple external influences which affect your judgement on everything, including self worth. So, if you don't have anyone to say 'thank you for being you' (which you don't really because I'm here) and you think you are nothing, then that is what you are. With a little bit of mental hoopla, nothing can judge anything, let alone 'nothing' - just like you cannot divide by zero. With this, you can conclude you're chatting shit because you cannot judge yourself if you truly think you have no worth, because your opinion is worth nothing.
Smile for me, anon - we're all gonna make it.

>>23614238
Is it the "Welcome to, the shut in network, where dreams all go to die..." one? I've not listened to them when they seemed to only be two possible songs. That was a couple of months ago though, I think so maybe there's new content. It was a good recording though - only complaint is that it was possibly a little high pitched for the volume it had but nothing that some 'pavucontrol' didn't fix. Maybe stick the brahm's lullaby underneath it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT4ON4ZfO5E
>not having the brahms lullaby bookmarked or in a tab ready for when you gotta go sleep
>enjoying your night's sleep

>>23614298
Yea we only have like 3 females make the welcome to the shut in network song. We have a 3rd one by a dude who made it all cool sounding with his custom intro, which was up for the last few threads.

Off the top of my head: Murakami stuff, Catcher, Perks, Grisham stuff, Fallen Angels
I don't read as much as I should.
>Favorite Shows/Movies
Fantastic Mr. Fox. Pixar movies. The Clerks/NJ movies. I tend to only watch movies when somebody suggests it most of the time.
I'm also pretty into anime and manga. I mostly like heavy (or just engaging) slice-of-life shit, like Punpun, NHK, and BECK (manga). But really, anything that's dark, or poignant, or just well-written in general can pique my interest.
>Favorite Music
I used to be really into metal. Now I'm mostly a sucker for jazzy rap, electronic music of all kinds, some classic rock and vidya music.
Some favorites are Nujabes, Sene, Daft Punk, Royksopp, Agalloch, Fever Ray, Zeppelin
I'm always down to listen to/share music.
>Favorite Vidya
I don't have any modern consoles, but I like fightgames and old Nintendo shit.
My favorite multiplayer game is Melee. Favorite single-player game is Mother 3.
I also stream speedruns and occasionally other stuff on Twitch.
>NEET/Introvert/Shut-In?
No / Yes / Used to have extreme social anxiety, but after fighting it for years, I'm pretty comfortable with people. Still naturally quiet and tend to be a recluse, though.
>What are you looking for?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>Who do you want to add you?
Just anybody who wants to actually chat. It doesn't really matter how much we have in common. Never know who you'll vibe well with.
>Who don't you want to add you?
Extreme /pol/-types that have no self-awareness.

Right now im looking for tempered glass screen protectors that go edge to edge on a regular s7. A lot of manufacturers fucked up with their protectors and didnt go full screen, making it look awkward and impossible to swype / time sometimes.
The only good one that shows promise and is being recommended might break with the tight spigon case im going to get with it :/

Not much - recently got back from 10 hours of drinking with friends as a last hurrah before going back to university tomorrow.

Now though, I'm listening to this before going to bed as it's awfully late and I need to do some packing up in the morning for when I go back to my term-time address in the evening.
Hope everyone's night is going okay and I'll bloop you guys either when I wake up or when I get to sit on my other bed. Night night /shut/

As nice as I'm sure you are, anon! Surely you don't come here to the irc, skype and other shut-in meeting places just to lurk, right? You can't make connections by being a wallflower.
For real though, I'm gonna pass out and try not to dream about falling down stairs this time
>>23618987
I do. Can't help it.
>>23619021
hey anon why are you so quiet all the time just be yourself
>>23619024
I'm an ass so I try not to ruffle feathers or cause trouble for anyone. Loneliness sets in though, so watching others socialize helps. It hurts, but it helps too.

I'm sure there are plenty of qt3.14 neets to play league with! I can't though as I'm not a qt3.14 nor have I ever played league. That and it's bedtime now - have lectures in 11 hours. If you have skype, check your contacts; check discord as well and see if anyone's bobbing about. Good luck in finding someone, anon!

Im so exhausted combatting it that I can barely type this but I'll try one more time because I love the game.
You'll lose a lot at first. And its going to suck if you are focused on winning. If you focus on learning and mastering one small chunk of the game every match, you can have a lot of fun as you go even if you are losing, because so long as you are constantly improving and not repeating mistakes, you'll always go into that next match better prepared and more likely to win. Eventually you'll be the one raising the skill average of the team, and you'll lose because of bad teammates instead of your own performance. That's a different hurdle for a different day.
The discord was cool until r9k had a leak. Some kid and started whining about how sad he was and how he didn't have a girlfriend. That "normie's" like us wouldn't understand how much of a shut-in he was. Soon became this bizarre dick measuring contest of how much more autistic and sad someone was compared to another. Absolutely surreal.
Probably isn't an issue anymore but the whole "I'm a NEET" "no I'm sad and a bigger NEET" is disgusting. I was there to step away from that and play video games and cut up with like minded people.
Hope the whole thing works out for you guys. Not sure why I'm even posting this as it's not really constructive for the "community."
Hope you all find what you're looking for. An echo box of self pity and attention seeking isn't really my deal.

>tfw will probably never meet another female
>>23625739
to be fair if you can make a girl like you, you don't belong here man
>>23627324
Considering she said things like how she thought my outlook on mentally ill girls was cute, and she wished she had a bf who treated her like that, and how she kept telling me that she wanted me to cook things for her, and told me that doing anything with me would be special, I dunno man.
Also I have had a grand total of like three girls be genuinely nice to me in my life, and have to look online because I am too scared of irl people.
>>23627348
That's her being a cocktease and probably using you as a fallback. Which sucks - disregard women, acquire aesthetics. Then when you're /fit/ and /ck/ you will have a hard time knocking them all back. Without sounding like more of a faggot than I already am, if you don't have your hopes up yet keep your negativity hidden, then everything that a woman does for you is a nice surprise. You don't look like you want anything and when you get something, she's happy that you're happy. Just keep asking girls out until one you like says yes. Women can smell fear, I swear
>>23627364

"Staying inside on skype all day isn't going to find you a girlfriend that's close enough to be more than a penpal?" That doesn't help you find a grill in the first place either - it's counter productive and creates thirst. I thought about it but then remembered where I was so didn't say anything until now. All any of us can do is offer the 2 cents we have and let people take it with as much salt so it goes down easier as there's no real need for sugar here - we're all aware of where we are so no coddling required.

>>23629775
what tipped you off
night night /shut/
Hey guys. I'm setting up an interpals account and i need some pictures. Problem is that i never been able to make any decent pictures of myself, and i obviously don't have friends who could take a picture of me so i've got to ask. Is this pic any decent, or is it awkward and bad?
>>23630525
That pic looks fine, you've got nothing to worry about m8
I aint gay tho
>>23630525
It's might be a little brooding. That's fine but you want some images to show that you look like you have fun every now and again.
The best hack that I can think of if you don't want to go places would be to record yourself watching a comedian of your choice (or anything else that makes you laugh). Once you've had a couple of giggles and a full belly chuckle, stop the recording and go through it on a video player. Find the points where you're looking all happy and shit and take screenshots - trim them with GIMP or MS Paint or something so it doesn't actually look like you've taken a screenshot (hopefully your video player doesn't have a huge fuck-off play button in the middle).
And there we have it - Anon's guide to taking photos that look like you're a jolly soul and you can't refute that you weren't having a good time either because it was real smiling and laughter - people seem to like 'genuine emotion.' I'm not saying you're always serious, but a variety of emotions for these kinds of things always help your case (so long as you're not taking pictures of yourself in tears like a faggot)
>>23630689
Thanks m8
>>23630698
That's actually a great idea. I mean, whenever i take a picture of myself, i check in the mirror or something and i look ok, but the moment the camera flashes, i always close one eye a bit or tilt my mouth and nose. A screenshot from a video might just do the trick. Thanks

>>23631193
depression is a tricky beast. Apart from what I've put at >>23613733 , the only thing I can suggest to help would be to get some good sleep. The less things that are going 'wrong' in your life, the easier it is to find out why it is you're not happy, and then you can slowly work out how to fix it. Knowing is half the battle. I can only imagine you're tired of hearing this from people anyway - "It's no good telling me to cheer up; I know that's what I need to do. 'How' is the problem!"
Hopefully things will get better. Maybe write a checklist of things you're not happy about and then you can go through it and focus on each point, one by one. Surely you'll feel worse for immortalising what you're not happy about (I know this feel too), but when you manage to tick something off this list, it feels amazing.
I'm (and hopefully 'we') are here for you, anon. You may not like it here but at least most of us are in a similar boat so we understand at least - even if some people here are hostile.

wish i got into EVE myself, even me senpai recommended it.
Read snap psychology & guess why i'm judging you.
Protip: It's cause i'm an asshole and you're a dipshit.
JUST KIDDING, i'm projecting... now who cut a hole in my bag.
>>23631627
stay safe
I pretty much hate myself.
I have a small mind, and a small life, a small income, a small penis.
I feel like life is passing me by, the lack of social contact, the lack of anything exciting, and i'm too apathetic and helpless to do anything about it.
I can't make people laugh, or happy, or bring anything worthwhile to their lives.
Whenever i get a girl interested in me, or once a blue moon a girlfriend, i feel like shit because i'm not right for them, and they'd be better served by someone who's better than me.
>>23632133
Seems like you have two issues going there, besides the obvious medical depression you seem to be displaying (from your completely similar outlook for each aspect of your life). A low self opinion and the misguided view that one life is better than the other.
I make people smile & laugh, daily; it feels good. Maybe try not thinking in terms of right and wrong? I heard a psychologist once say, "We're not bad people, but good people that may do bad things."
>could just try spending some of that money in the bank on yourself, tho
>>23631639
>stay safe
could'a should'a would'a, point is they can't or they'd have.
>>23632133
When you were young, did you ever know what you wanted to be? Like a doctor, saving lives, or an astronaut? I think you've lost your imagination (as well as the whole depression thing). Maybe read 'yotsubato.'
If you have the outlook that other people can find someone better, they'll take you up on your offer. Don't let other people just walk out on you like that. Also be happy that you notice girls that are interested in you - I'm too busy focusing on other things to notice the signs until the next day. If you want, send >>23608471 an email on what kinds of music you like and I'll see if I can find something similar.
If you're apathetic about everything, you need to find some people that are passionate about what they do so you can leech off of their positivity and get back on track. Don't waste away on me, Anon! I don't wanna lose a friend because they thought they couldn't make it!
>>23632207
Most people that are happy seem to do things for other people, I've noticed. That's probably why I like sharing music with others - it's letting people know about things they might enjoy. I'd recommend cs lewis' talk on the 'poison of subjectivism' (I think I've linked it here before but that's okay): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lgcd6jvsCFs
It's worrying how much I seem to agree with what he talks about. The sexual morality one is good too. Sometimes it's nice to hear someone put the world to rights (I'm used to talking about why the world's being silly with my parents so hearing 'sense' is like talking with them).
Cheer up anons, I'll be here like a mascot - cheering you on when you're sorting your life out. I might need to count on you one day

Watch that. Man the fuck up. Sort your shit out. If you're not taking meds, start. If you are taking them and they're not working, swap them. If you want to talk to someone about it so you can get direction, fine. Whimpering like some child because you're not getting attention and no one is up-boating you or senpai isn't noticing you is pathetic. You're on an Amazonisn Forestry board and the world doesn't revolve around you.
Find purpose, find distractions and stop withering away as if you deserved to have been aborted because whilst america's doing their damnedest to make happiness a commodity you can buy, they're not there yet. Read through the thread to get advice and sort your shit out.
>>23632263
You seem to be a very nice person. I like you.
>>23632622
I'm usually nice for the people here as odds are that they are having a potentially rough time. I'm trying every angle I can to help out from where I am, but nothing seems to want to stick. I understand that people react to things differently and that's fine. But coming here, having a huff and a puff and complaining about something doesn't solve the problem you have unless you talk about it properly, and most people don't give their viewpoints on the replies they get for whatever reason, like they've got over their problem already and don't need the input, want to leave people hanging or are trying to fit in here. Here's some things I've tried:
>>23613733 Potential solutions to low self-esteem (including a psychological mindfuck by assuming your negative viewpoint is correct and then proving your viewpoint is incorrect)
>>23618987 Cheering people on through compliments that >>23619021 seemed oblivious to (focused on the lurking and not the "You're a nice guy" bit)
>>23623708 Mocking myself whilst looking to the future for happiness - >>23623722 did say thanks though (cheers, famalam)
>>23627364 Pointing to some vague figure in the distance and blaming them; suggesting to improve independance through fit and fodd; gain an externally positive nihilistic view (nothing matters so why worry about anything)
>>23632263 Is appealling to your childhood memories to find guidance in the present; provides a background supporter cheering them on, which will incite guilt if they fail
>>23632598 Comes full circle. Short sentences, basic commands to cover most angles; abusive to create a spark of defiance and change, instead of the victim complex; urge to prove me wrong rises
(1/2 - I spent too long on this excuse to put the brakes on it now)
>>23632853
(2/2)
>>23632645 hits the nail on the head. By all means complain about something - that's fine and I wholeheartedly agree with the idea as it's in the nature of britbongs to complain. What you don't do is leave it there. No one with the power to help you is going to help you, unless you take the second step. The reason I don't say first is because the space between the first and second step is the important bit - it's the proof that you can accept there's a problem, start to do something and then stick with it when it gets a little uncomfortable. That's what many establishments and other sources of help want to see - the commitment to change your situation. You are more likely to bet on a horse you have seen win races time and time again and have a stable, profitable gamble, as opposed to the high risk, low chance winner that is some goat in the far lane.
I don't care (in the bad sense) if you come from the gutter, anons, I truly don't. But don't you think it's wrong to complain about smelling like shit but don't want to move from where you settled and take a shower? C'mon guys, we're one of the few threads on this board that doesn't try and publicly shove cock down each other's throats without even a "and what should I call you, my electronic pump 'n' dumpster?"
We're better than this.

And that's okay - every now and again someone has to be to bring some perspective. I just want to tell you guys that you're fun to be around and it sucks to watch you undersell yourselves and not do anything about the situations you're in when you're not happy about it.
Maybe it's the way some have been brought up, maybe the lack of faith that others had for you, maybe (like me) it was pressure, being expected to be good at everything you did and you slowly starting crumbling down - not able to physically ask for help because the very concept is like admitting you can't do what's expected of you. I'm a social outcast because I was never able to get help when asking as a child, when it came to studying, so I refuse the help and charity of others on principle - because in the back of my mind, I worry that they'll let me down like when I was a kid. I can't blame my parents for this forced independence and self-learning - mum's dyslexic and shit with numbers.
There's also being isolated in primary school for four years for some chucklefuck reason; only allowed to piss ball about with the older kids. But I never got on with them for some unknown reason, so even now I talk to myself like I'm having conversations with 4-5 people and will re-live *any* conversation I have for years - I'm still mulling over what I could have said to the teacher who told me I need to stop 'upsetting' the year below me. Naturally, all this shit snowballed as I grew older as it was what I knew - academic independence and social isolation from anyone other than family.
I've not typed this out in what is now a drunken haze because I want to have a pissing match. Not at all. I've typed this out because I'm broken like everyone else. Maybe not to the same extent as I'm lucky my family isn't dysfunctional or divorced, but it's still half your day that you're spending with nothing but yourself, surrounded by people that disappear and forget you at the end of each year.

I don't want your pity either. Or sympathy - I want none of it.
Whenever I was having trouble with what I was doing, or couldn't make decisions in life, I turned to my mum - she achieved everything she wanted to, which was:
- Work in a bakery (She was told she never could because she can't read cooking recipes; refused to prove these people right)
- Have children with the capability of thinking for themselves
and she always said that if I enjoy what I'm doing, and it can get me somewhere important where I want to be, then I should go for it. She never pushed what she wanted me to be unless I asked, to which she'd reply "Become a Doctor, Plumber, Electrician or 'something to do with computers' because there's always jobs going for that kind of thing." This was only after I had decided that I wanted to be a programmer, after my Granddad - still giving me the choice to change my mind and profession before I was stuck down my path.

I don't know if anyone has ever asked their parents/guardians what they want from their children. I assume that some say money, others say fame - hell, I imagine children would be a common answer too! The only thing that has ever come out of my parents' and my grandparents' mouths was the phrase "for you to be happy." That's it. It's all they ask of me. What is infuriating as fuck is that saying that phrase is one of the easiest things you can do today. Doing what that phrase means? That's when it becomes the hardest thing you'll ever do. Sweating under the pressure to perform well in the things you take your hand to, trying to network so that you have people you can rely on for things currently outside your skillset, all while daring to attempt to have enough free time to relax with some vidya or something when instead you should be learning something new or improving what you do know - making the first two sections easier for the next day.
You're damn straight I'm a dick but you better believe that I'm working towards this state of happiness that will possibly never come and as a dick, I'm going to fuck anyone who tries to hold back my progress - I've been through that enough. Will I achieve happiness every day? No - not by a long shot. But I want to be able to say on my mum's death bed, with tears streaming down from my eyes, that "I've managed to do what you asked for once, mum," and she will look at me; not even turning her head to face me, and say "that's good, I suppose."
This is what I want from you, anons: "for you to be happy."

I have a question, /soc/
I am a gay guy, and I've come to realize that I'm only attracted to straight guys. How do I go about cajoling one of them into bedding/wedding me?

That being said though, some people may feel scared or disorientated by you being here, like a 'Simpsons Hit and Run' character. That's fine and I'm sure they'll warm up to you eventually

I have it so everyone who isn't on my friendslist on AIM is autoblocked. This is because I got tired of spambots.
R.A. Salvatore is the correct spelling of the author's name, look it up.
NEET means Not in Employment, Education or Training. Since I currently have a job, I am not NEET.
EVE Online can be really addictive. I'm at the point where I'm mining enough ore on one of my alts that I can play EVE Online without paying the sub and just buying PLEX with ingame currencies.

I'm getting really mixed signals here, are you implying you want little boys to add you? Because they don't browse /soc/. Try /v/ or /b/
>>23632853
Don't you spend enough time helping people on /b/ alice, you don't need to save every board you know
>>23636253
who's alice? I don't browse /b/ - stuff moves too fast and there's other boards that are more dedicated to what I'm after
>Start a no fap challenge
>Start having the best dreams ever where I actually get friends, a girlfriend, an activity/job I actually enjoy and great adventures
Does this happen just to me? I usually don't remember my dreams, but the last ones I had were 10/10 shit that made me so happy to be alive and feel them.
I would really like to be added to the skypegroup! My skype name is "theogbonehead"
>>23636271
Alice is you.
You posted a picture of yourself, did you not, Margatroid?
>>23636451
Not here I've not nor have I ever posted my face on this site. It doesn't help that I've moved location since I posted my details in here so the ID is different, so you can't exactly cross-check with any true belief that I'm not someone.
The only thing I can suggest would be to check how this Alice person writes - I'm a huge fan of using dashes and semi-colons. I suppose you could point her here and hope that she doesn't take credit for a couple of posts on a Syrian Manufacturing group (because that's a little silly).
Otherwise, it's just a pissing match and I'm just gonna have to apparently be someone I'm not until the next thread.
>>23635923
I'm not sure if I was clear there (I just answered the questions), I'd like to be added to the Skype group if that's OK
>>23636524
Sorry for assuming too much.
Alice is a fictional character.
Anon was making a joke, but you didn't know enough about Touhou or what pictures you were posting.
>>23637236
No problem, man - I've not played any touhou, don't really know names of any of the characters and it's been ages since I lurked /b/. Only related thing I know would be this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeQbLmDigZg
I was just going through the database of images that 'hydrus network' made that seemed useful for showing the theme of what was originally posted - the tag I had used to get the image was probably 'blush' from safebooru - I probably have the image you've used too somewhere in the folder structure which seemed to have picked hashing instead of tags as a way to organise everything; it's the reason most of the images I use are just 'jumbled' hex.
I probably should have done a little bit of looking into what would have made anon think I was alice (such as the goddamn image, and the term margatroid). I'm sorry that I was an idiot about it all but thank you for clearing it up!
>>23635664
