There are many fields that will tolerate your social inability on a good day, computer science is one, investment banking is not.
Seeing as you probably haven't taken anything but GE courses at this point I'd suggest suspending judgement on what is and isn't fulfilling.
Lanny, just so you know, I don't normally dress the way I did when I met with you. I had everything in a bag and put it on while i was nearby because I wanted to do something funny, and because I'm so painfully shy I feel far more comfortable in a disguise. I just wanted to mess with you, I'm not socially inept enough to believe I look cool.
I was also kind of fucked up because I had literally had a seizure that morning, and a week before that I had broken down and checked myself into the ER for severe alcoholism, because I was probably on the verge of full blown seizures, and admitted I was suicidal.
I had also been a full blown hiki for like 5 years, having spoken about 10 words a month only out of necessity for 1-2 years, and ended up developing agoraphobia and anthropophobia.
I'll admit I don't know how to talk to people and normally have no desire to, but given the circumstances, that having been my first IRL conversation in years, did I really do that badly? I mean, I tried to be nice and bullshit with you, although it completely slipped my mind that it's odd to never look directly at someone while speaking, along with my bad posture and other habits.
I have 4 years to rehabilitate myself in college, with the help of benzos and amphetamine, and my brain is hyper-plastic due to Asperger's. I could potentially recreate myself if I put in the effort.
I actually found out a philosophy club was reactivated this semester because the president and another person came into my philosophy class to speak about it. I'm planning on attending the meeting tomorrow, although I really wish I had some benzos on hand, it's just taken so long to meet with a goddamn psychiatrist, far longer than I expected. Well, regardless, I'm just planning on checking it out. Who knows what this could lead to.
Actually, I was just trolling you about investment banking and was hoping for a negative rant from you. -

Get moving lazybones, if someone like me (ME) can do it you should damn well be able to.
Earlier I was drilling Japanese and I felt this distinct feeling in my brain. It felt good, like a mixture of some sort of higher level cognitive activation and mild euphoria. It's what I imagine large scale rapid neurogenesis would feel like if you could feel it. It gave me the motivation to go out and improve myself even further.
“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”
It really felt remarkable to experience just how fast the human body can adopt. Before this I could barely jog for two minutes straight.
I was looking at my bare upper body in the mirror, witnessing myself regaining my peak physical condition, and had the profound realization that I am one sexy little boy.

Here are some old pictures I took to showcase the progress I had made from heavy squats. I managed to work up to like 285 for 5x5 or 315 for a perfect set of 5 with just a belt, full depth.
My ass probably looked better than 90% of women's.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I wasn't really basing that off our encounter. Just like you said, you don't talk to people or seem to want to. Part of that is the god awful lifestyle you subjected yourself to for years, but I imagine you wouldn't be crazy about a career that heavily relied on maintaining a good social impression. So you do have subpar social skills, but I want's trying to say you need to keep yourself locked in a closet or something, just that it doesn't seem like a line of work well suited to you. I know I couldn't be successful as an investment banker.Actually, I was just trolling you about investment banking and was hoping for a negative rant from you.
Eh, well programmer in the financial industry, "money man", both are pretty much evil so who am I to look down on someone just because they provide no tangible value to society, are intellectually deficient, and make their living in a morally repugnant way? -

2018-03-14 at 4:41 AM UTCI got flirted with so hard today at work. This is a real accomplishment as a guy. If I was a shittier person I'd just fuck both of them.

2018-03-14 at 4:47 AM UTCLanny, regarding Malice, how is he at shutting the fuck up? Like just not talking and being comfortable, or not saying something he shouldn't.

2018-03-14 at 4:50 AM UTCMalice, if you assess that you're bad at STFUing, start practicing. It's not hard, just default to not talking and talk when it seems like an overwhelmingly positive option compared to not talking. I don't know exactly how socially retarded you are, but not talking is possibly the most important aspect of interacting with other people. This sounds condescending or whatever but it's seriously the best advice you will ever get on social navigation.

I'd feel so bad if I did. I'm talking to both atm and I feel bad because I know how they both feel about me.
Like... She rubbed my chest today and asked for a massage man. She also offered to buy me food if I taught her how to do taxes (lol.) It's some very intense shit and the girl I'm with does not like it at all. I think I have to tell her to back off. -

Dude, you would probably never meet someone better at shutting the fuck up than me. I literally almost never speak unless necessary, more than necessary. If we were roommates I could probably go years without saying a word to you. -
