Everyday is a new year. 
On the topic of isolation, depending on the circumstances, IME, it can be liberating or defeating and dehumanizing beyond transliteration...
-------------------- To be human is to be fettered, to endure what one is, in perpetuum, no matter what the debility or perversity.

Let's make a New Years resolution to be less isolated this year.

Other than work, I find society difficult to be apart of. I'm not trying to act special when I say that..I try to function as a typical 20 something like the rest and I find it just blah.

Because unless you have servants , are rich enough to not have to work for money, grow your own food , live near a river and know how to do your own maintenance chances are you are going to need to see another person at some point even if its just to use them for good or services.

My point was, I don't have to do anything. If I want to lay down and die, it's my choice.
Trying to fit in with people I have little in common with is not fun, and they are many.

I don't know. I find myself happy or content by myself for the most part I can only entertain myself for so long though before I need novelty as htx used to put it so elegantly.
I think being 24 can be a tricky age...or at least for me. Any older members have insight on any of this? Or folk of this age? Pretty much anybody ?
I'm working a 10 dollar an hour job trying to cultivate my hobbies in hope to cultivate them into a profession. I have a degree but I'm now out of college over a year and have done nothing in my field nor do I want to. I think I like my life and who've I become, but from a societal perspective I can't help but feel like a degenerate. And from an egotistical perspective, I want acknowledgement. I want everything society has to offer..It's DA 101..I want to leave my name behind. Even though it means nothing to me.
The people I've grown up with are all from my vantage point materially happy with nicer cars/clothes/vacations etc because they followed their degrees and got jobs.
I feel like I went through a midlife crisis 3 years ago. The thought of waking up at 40 with the regret that I didn't live my life my way scared the shit out of me.
Now I'm living life my way and failure scares the shit out of me..Not to the same extent..At least if I fail I made my own bed of unease compared to my previous thoughts.
I guess I'm just really fucking lost in the world I created...Which I'm fine with ATM..But time seems to be flying and I can only hope my path becomes more clear.
At this point I think I throw myself into the crowd of my peers just to give myself a checkup that I'm still sane. I've always had a hard time with balance.
This has become one big rant and lol Similar to the post I deleted but less emo

It is your choice no doubt. Though i kinda wounder about that, I'm not sure how much of a choice it really is taking past experiences in consideration which most likely had something to do with the need/want for solitude in the first place.
What if you were born into a different life situation minus a parent plus a sibling etc. Would you still be speaking or thinking in the same way , have the same facades to help you avoid the inherit fear? I don't know but i don't think so.
The moment you made that choice or any other how do you know it wasn't all predetermined to the context of your spawning point and attachments that came with it on this planet a.k.a 'this is your life'.
Anyway i agree you don't need to try to fit in with anyone. I was just pointing out its very rare and difficult to live completely isolated for the most part at some point your gonna need something from someone unless your equipped to live completely from the land, hunter and gatherer lifestyle specs.
Also this thread/your posts got me wondering about the price of free will.

All actions have consequences. Or at least that's what I've noticed. You want to let a car turn in from a side street so you wait for them. Now instead of one car burning exhaust while they wait, its you and every car behind you. It might not add up to much but its still a consequence of that action. Many of those consequences we don't even recognize their origin anymore.
So what am I getting at? Well, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Is that depressing? It can be. If you can let go of needing to be otherwise tho you can move a little smoother. less second guessing and more taking the licks as they come. We all try to minimize the consequences based on the information available, and when it goes tits up we are great at saying "if only"... but from where I sit its damned if you did, damned if you didn't. There is no escape from consequences over time.

Don't blame you bro, I'm the same way. I have one close female friend and two dogs and that's my contact outside of this place.

I wonder about free will too. I sometimes suspect it's not free at all, just seems that way... Like this is all one big joke and we are the punch-lines by thinking we are in control.
