<p>pvmd when your talking to the group of associates you don’t really want to be their friends mention it in a conversation. Somewhat like a chore ( give them something to pick up/ look for you, though you don’t intentionally think they will actually do it… thought they may).
Example: Eventhough were not friends, and that could like never happen ( laugh) because I mean we don’t bond/ connect like that but hey would you guys mind doing this quick chore ( what you may think of) for me?</p>
<hr>
<p>If they say yes, you can show friendly generousity and say thanks, really appreciate it… or you can just be sorta selfish and be more like: Great, because I really need to get that done or what ever it may be.</p>
<hr>
<p>Also could mention to further point out your reason:
Hey, eventhough were not building a friend relationship I can trust you on this one… smile, smirk or what ever you may please.</p>
<p>Though I don’t know the reason you are trying to avoid being someone(s) friend.</p>
<p>Yes, please ban EECool! He’s asking for it!</p>
<p>Ok now I am a little confused…who is the ■■■■■?</p>
<p>Are you guys seriously the same person?</p>
<p>The ■■■■■ emerged from the cave, I guess…</p>
<p>If this thread is a joke, which many seem to imply. If pvmd want’s to be ban, wouldn’t it make more since for it to be stated on pvmd’s account than EECool?</p>
<p>EECool, if u and pmvd r the same person, u really should get a life.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>scansmom, I have feelings.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>One, because I have no need to cause them negative emotions and two, because I don’t want them to take their anger out on me.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s both. I am an introvert so solitude is almost natural for me but at the same time I actively avoid people (as opposed to just ignoring them) because I feel uncomfortable around them and don’t know how to behave or what to say.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Being cut off from most (not all) of humanity sometimes seems like one of the few shots I have at a happy life.</p>
<p>eecool,</p>
<p>What’s your problem? Why do feel that you have to be so caustic? Chances are, you look at pmvd and you see something of yourself in him, cuz he’s your “uncomfortable mirror”.</p>
<p>Tell them that you’re friends with Lakrosse</p>
<p>just act like EEcool (drunk and immature).</p>
<p>But in seriousness, take scanmom’s advice to at least seek out a few friends. I know people who generally prefer to be alone doing there own projects, but they still have family, friends, and the occasionally relationship to connect them to the world. Yes people can cause you problems by being and such, but they call also motivate you to do better, be there to comfort you when you’re feeling bad about yourself or your life, and generally make things more interesting. Don’t opt out of something before you’ve even given it a chance.</p>
<p>Introduce yourself to someone you’ve noticed is especially nice to everyone, nonjudgemental, and perhaps really quirky. I was never a social butterfly myself, but this was the easiest way to make friends for me.</p>
<p>You know drinking does help sometimes in social situations, I’m a lot more friendly when I’m drunk, so I’m told. I wouldn’t recommend it.</p>
<p>PMVD I am not trying to be an ass here, I have read your other posts and like people have said in the past I think you really need to talk to a professional about what you are going through. You have way more going on then just being an introvert. My husband is an introvert as well, but he is able to make some friends. And he also knows how to act in a social situation.</p>
<p>Before I try to answer your current question I have a question. Did you got to a public school in lower grades or were you home schooled? I ask because I have heard (some) home-schooled kids have a hard time in social situations and making friends. And if you were not home-schooled what was lower grades like, did you have this issue.</p>
<p>Now on turning down a possible friendship without hurt feelings. Well in some cases this could be hard but I assume what you are really asking is how to get out of talking to someone that might lead to a friendship. Well that is much easier to do then say end an existing friendship. </p>
<p>Example: You are in the library and someone comes up to talk to you and you don’t wanna talk. Instead of saying nothing (that is sure to **** someone off). When they talk to just nod and say yeah here and there. And when there is a break say it was nice chatting with them but you have stuff to do (or you have to study, go to work, go to class any excuse will work). They will come back with maybe we will run into each other again. And you say maybe. </p>
<p>Thats it the easiest way without hurting people.</p>
<p>watch Seinfeld “male unbonding”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The official diagnosis is a personality disorder.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was never home-schooled. I wish I had been though, then I would have spared myself many bad memories.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In the lower-grades, kids teased me for one reason or another. By the time I was in high school, it occurred to me that the only way I could prevent kids from finding excuses to make fun of me was to not let them know me. That worked at first, then a few years later I gained some ‘notoriety’ and once again became the butt of their jokes. Now that I am in college I try to keep a low profile. That’s the only way I can pass as “normal” and spare myself many negative emotions.</p>
