In my Get Your Sh*** Together posts I write a reply to a real person on Reddit who needs advice. Reddit has many communities dedicated to Self-Improvement. People drop comments about a wide range of issues.
I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone. - Robin Williams

I want to make friends but I hate people
As the title implies, I've always wanted to have someone talk to and play with over my common interests but I have really low tolerance for being around people. My energy gets drained really easily when talking with othes and I really dislike conflict of any kind. Also, as I'm typing this, I don't really know what else to add that might help the ones who read this message. So if you need any more additional information feel free to ask. Anything to help you reach a more conclusion that could help me better - u/ToastyNyfo
Dear ToastyNyfo,
This is the most relatable post I’ve ever seen on social media. Can we be friends? I would be honored to be friends with you because I also hate people. We could hang out online, talk shit, and never ever see each other. It would be fantastic
Take a seat.
Let me explain to you why people feel bad for not having any friends. It didn’t used to be that way.
Just a couple years ago, in a decade called the 1990’s, only nerds used computers.
In the 90’s nerds got beat up by the jocks. They were disrespected for being socially awkward and having superior brains.
These nerds took refuge in three sacred pursuits: computers, Dungeons and Dragons, and Magic the Gathering.
Computers were too complicated for the normies undeveloped brain because there was this feature called the command line. You had to type arcane letters like (dir wolf3d.EXE) just to run a program.
Only the Alpha Nerd’s superior brain could contain such knowledge.
Then suddenly computers got easy to use. And around 2009, the jocks started acting like nerds. These guys even got jobs at tech companies like Snapchat.
When social media came along, normies began posting their happy fucking faces online. This flood of happy people doing happy shit hijacked the nerd’s sacred place.

To add to the male nerd’s confusion, stuck up cheer leaders who used to spit in their faces began dressing up like their favorite video game characters.
You see, everything that once belonged to nerds was appropriated by the people that shit on them.
It’s not supposed to be this way.
Fuck them… It’s okay to say it….Fuck all those stupid, happy people. You and I were doing just fine before they came along.
The truth is my friend, you don’t need friends.
Until next time…
