Search for an Orthodox church in your area, then go to services. I'd recommend going to a weekday Liturgy, or on Wednesday night, or Vespers on Saturday night first.

Maybe I'm too much of a normie right now, but I don't feel like I resonate to these, and to be honest I think the normie lifestyle is better. I used to be an aspie like 80% of people here, so I know what I'm talking about.

Sure, when you live like a normie you are basically wasting your life in a hedonistic way, I don't think many people will trascend or find great meaning partying or socializing, but the same happens when you are a shut-in who reads everyday, watches anime and/or plays videogames. Whatever you do you are going to regret it and it's ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things, so why not have some fun while we are at it?
Also, meeting people is actually quite fun since you get to know a lot of new things, sure most are boring as fuck, but every now and then you meet a hidden gem.

Cheer up guys, if I got out of the hole you will too.

Of course it is. Why would so many people be "normies" if they weren't getting enjoyment out of it? Being a normie is the optimal way of living your life in terms of pure happiness and joy. I'm sure most of the people on here would love to be normies, that is not the issue. The issue isn't their refusal to be normies but their inability to transition into a normie lifestyle or philosophy. That is why so many famous writers and philosophers reside on the very edges of society, whether due to sexual perversions, physical ailments or abrasive philosophical beliefs. If these people were admitted into society from a young age and allowed to join the herd then they, for the most part, wouldn't look back. Who would want to sit in a dank, musty room all day, forcing yourself to write instead of going out and fucking? Be grateful anon, for you are blessed.

I think you have the wrong idea. You can have your own ideas and live them with a good deal of integrity, but at the same time you need to know how and when to adapt depending on the crowd.

For example, I'm anti-representative democracy (no, I'm not alt-right) and quite outspoken about it in front of friends and professors. That starts discussions and changes the look some people have on me, but at the same time I don't base my personality on that or make myself a mono-thematic person, sometimes I debate about it and sometimes I just shut up if I see that there's nothing to gain from it. I really don't try to base my personality on anything specific, but I keep my "arsenal" of ideas loaded at all times, I read what I can and I think about the world with the knowledge I pick up from it, but at the same time I don't close myself to learning about what's the trendy stuff, how to dance, approach to people, etc...

The issue with most people here (on 4chan to be honest) is that they devout their time to something too specific and build their lifes around that, instead of trying to experience the world from all the viewpoints that one can reach. Yes, being an aspie that dedicates himself to one thing only will make you a genius, my favourite philosophers were just like that, but at the same time I don't want to be like them, because it seems boring and dull.

Maybe not everyone can be extremely social, but so many people here close themselves to learn how to be decent at it. It's not that complex.

I think what you said can definitely aid an individual in becoming a more interesting and overall 'better' person but it isn't the defining trait of being a spergy robot.

I think what truly chains people to social isolation isn't simply their lack of interest in multiple things or even their inability to experience things from multiple perspectives. I see 'normal' people who fit that description all the time, very boring and uninteresting people who live active and healthy social lives. I believe that it is much more important to be an adequate communicator than it is to be a good or interesting person. Those things help of course but they do not define an individual's social success or failure.

If one has the ability to communicate with others then it is very difficult to fail at forming social bonds. The majority of robots on here do no really hold any insane beliefs or act like maniacs. Many of them are very open people and pursue different hobbies. Their sole issue is that they are unable to communicate their thoughts and feelings to others. Whether that's due to social anxiety or some other cause idk, but those are the issues that truly lay at the heart of the matter. Not their personality, looks or beliefs.

Although I do agree with you that people should try all those things and be much more open to improving themselves. Many have lost all faith in themselves before they even hit 20 and unfortunately, they just keep digging themselves in deeper and deeper year by year. It's sad to see and it is quite difficult to climb your way out of such a rut.

I get your point, but communication isn't something that's given to us by nature, it's something that we develop and I like to think that everyone has aces up their sleeves when it comes to it. Hell, I used to be god awful at it, but then I started paying close attention to see what people liked to hear when they were opening themselves up and I felt kind of dumb. Generally speaking people don't like straight up advice or opinions when they don't ask for them, and just trying to understand them is enough for most, so I just hear them and go with the flow. When you have to "lead" people, it's better to be sympathetic instead of a dictator, etc...
For a place that has many active readers, very few pay attention to how (good) characters communicate.

I mean, it's true that some people have handicaps, but like I said, I used to be an aspie and I can totally be one given certain topics, but at the same time one needs to dedicate oneself to learning about the things we are weak at. And that is something so many people are not willing to do, getting out of the comfort zone is the big step.

>>10278947
You need to relax your body completely, this is what everyone fails at, put a song you like (House music is particularly easy), forget about your masculity for a second and just move with the beat. Don't do anything too complex, you need to learn how to walk before you run.
Learn how to follow the beat with your head, then learn how to move your legs, when you get it, start moving your arms, shoulders, etc... moving the hips is what you should aim at, because dancing is ultimately something sexual. Don't rush things because you won't learn overnight. Most people dance quite horribly, but if you know how to follow the beat you are better than most males. Also, don't imitate anyone unless you feel confident.

For some reason, females are great at dancing, so if you have a good trustful female friend ask for help, asking a friend to dance with you is a good way to create bonds and maybe get laid if things go that way.
Alcohol helps too, but that's up to you, just get the right ammount.

It certainly far more ethnically based than any other sect of the church.
Everyone at my Greek parish (I was prod scandi before) is really nice, but besides some of the friends that got me involved in the first place every one is Greek. It is somewhat difficult. The OCA is interesting in that it's goal is to be the American parish

Well actually there's a Chinese chick who married a Greek dude there too
