Generally I'd rather people in real life just left me alone although I have mixed feelings about this- on the one hand I really like my own company and prefer online friendships, but I do occasionally have 'Billy no mates' type pangs that piss me off.  Real life friendships are pretty much always hard work.

I agree with Kosmo. 

Thank you, but I'd rather not.
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.

These posts got me wondering how many people on here are always looking for new friends and how many would prefer that the human race committed mass suicide.

What the fuck do the two have to do with
one another? I'm always looking for friends,
AND want to kill the species off (and maybe
more).

As I've stated previously, I don't like people and would prefer to stay clear from most of them. I do have some RL friends but it's a lot of work to keep in touch with them in ways they seem to require.

If I didn't simplify and generalize, there would have been about a hundred options on that poll, and most people wouldn't have bothered to answer. Even so, I thought about going back and adding an option for "I love to make friends, just not humans, you species-ist cunt".

Besides, nobody expects logical consistency from you.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Socialising is too expensive.

I try to maintain a lot of friends but even when I have money I find some slip away.
This brain could do with some more dimethyltryptamine.

Keeping friends can be a real hassle, both with time and money.   Some friends are worth the trouble, online friendships seem to be much easier to maintain.   Online there is just less invested and it is easier to not even care at all when someone fucks you over.   In real life friendships can be just a pain and really not worth it a good portion of the time.   They can just confirm my hatred for humanity sometimes.

When I am out in the world, I do want to be left alone for the most part.   I don't really want people I don't know coming up to me and introducing themselves, it makes me uncomfortable because I don't know what to say to them usually.   Add in the fact that this happens normally when I am forced to be at a place where there is a crowd of people (which I fucking hate) and that makes it even worse.   I am posting this at the computer labs at school for example, too many damn people here.   I wouldn't like it if someone I didn't know approached me, but if it was someone I knew it would be ok (as long as I didn't hate them).
:P   Internets are super serious.

I always wanted to be a hermit :) Most people just irritate the hell out of me.  Friends in real life have to be friends on my terms and interested in my obsessions.

Yeah, just allow multiple votes. Actually,
every single one applies to me.
