>>70369>trust DA SOYYEEEENNCCEEEEE broScience still can't explain what causes mental disorders or even define some properly, such as autism. You can say it's cope and how da soyence says it's necessary, but the life I have lived and am living right now is a contradiction to what you say. Am I really the retard for telling OP (maybe you, I can't tell) to not rely on fringe social connections for value in his life, but instead to see the good in himself and be happy with who he is, even alone? There's the old saying that goes "Being alone means you're in bad company". Become good company for yourself then; be content with yourself. I'm not against the idea of having friends as a whole, but the truth is that the majority of cattle don't provide a valuable relationship for people like us who seek deeper meaning in life than always consuming and accepting things as they are.
<If OP wants to stoop to the level of a retarded normie just to make friends because he was told this will make him happier, then he can go ahead, but I was there and I know it doesn't work with most people. Most of the people you interact with will be mentally draining; you have to submit to all of their stupid whims like watching the latest goyslop movie or talking about the latest goyslop show. It's all damaging to the soul, and just like how I used to feel when I was alone, it hurt to be around these people because I was in bad company.
<The best thing OP can do is self improooooove and go to church, not build his value and identity off social connections for their own sake rather than connecting with people naturally that share your values.
