  1. @Sugarcoat I think what is difficult is that the kids I go to college with do not share any of the same interests as me (like travel, or going out which is surprising for college age kids) nor do they have any sort of drive in their lives which makes me not able to respect them. Of course I would befriend someone if we had interests in common, but the problem is they are simply not motivated to get out of the house and do shit. I can't say I know much about Sweden, but if you're anything like me the goal wasn't to be a social guy in college- the goal was to find a group of lifelong friends.
  2. @Sugarcoat my school is known to be socially dead. My attempts to socialize with my classmates didn't go very far. In all my socializing I wasn't able to find my people, and I wasn't able to connect with anyone. I don't think I understood them, and I don't think anyone understood me either. It was a very bizzare experience. When I studied abroad I found people I connected with, and so I made friends, but they are there and I am here.
  3. I need human relationships to be happy, and I have otherwise been unsuccessful at building friendships in college. For the past couple of years, I have felt like I have no hope for making new friends because I wouldn't even know where to look. I know there are things like social clubs for adults, but it feels very forced. Where can I go or what can I do to make friends?
  4. Wow. Thank you for the detailed resources
  5. @Creatorbeing I don't understand everything you said. But, I gather that you advise me to find people based on my ego level. To answer your questions I'm looking for equals I'm looking for a friend group comprised of men and women- but, purely for friendship purposes ( I don't know if that would be possible from your point of view) My interests revolve around living a good life, which for myself requires having a community- motivated, ambitious, smart people: stage orange/green- leaning more toward green Is your hailmary solution that I become rich first? Thanks for responding
  6. I can't stop thinking about how I'll have no friends after I graduate from college. Where do you find a community of like-minded people? Isn't college the best community-building place on the planet?
  7. He hasn't posted in a while, did I miss something?
  8. To be honest, I'm not very into the spirituality side of actualized.org, yet. So, I would like a book reccomendation- preferably a book on the book list that could heal me. But general advice is welcome as well. Here are some things I do not express my authentic self because I want others to perceive me in a certain way look down on people who I think are less than me (social status, smarts, looks) constantly worry about how other people view me a strict refusal to not engage with people who I think are less than me a strict refusal to do/try anything that is looked down upon (ex. anime) I didn't major in business in university because people on the internet would make memes about how the major is cringe As a result, I'm a half-way "actor" everyday and miss out on lots of great people and experiences. Internally, it makes me feel bad about myself to categorize other people as "losers" or "beneath me". Thanks guys.
  9. Is it me or is the LPC complete ass. It's unnecessarily long as fuck, and most of the videos are expendable. I came to learn one thing: my life purpose. It's probably important to know my values, fears, and whatever. But, even those areas are murky for me at best if you are to follow directions and contemplate values, fears, etc. for the recommended time. Most of the exercises don't tell you anything about yourself at all and are a complete waste of time. I feel like I would have been better off if I just thought about my life purpose for 3 hours instead of watching years of all these boring-ass videos.
  10. I want to explain to refute the myth that Greg Heffley in Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a sociopath, and instead explain that he is just stage orange.
  11. I want to use Spiral Dynamics as a way to back up my research paper. Do I just label people however they want?
  12. @Yarco male pectoral muscles
  13. I'm technically an adult now and I feel as though it would suit me to have an adult body as well. What is the best way of going about this?
