Unintended consequences, lads. Not looking good for me at the moment.
I didn't get that impression. There's nothing wrong with being honest. None of the guys care about the woman's blubbering anyway.

lel at normies that can't stand what neets live with always
Jaxson Kelly
I hate these team huddle meetings and I never say what I truly feel- that I hope the lockdown lasts forever
Zachary Cook
I'm the only optimistic one out of my friends. They cling on to any headline about new covid cases as if they're almost excited about it. One thing I've learned over the last two months is people secretly enjoy larping like it's the end of the world. Half of the population would rather fork reality and choose to live in their own little world unburdened by facts.
>>Next person's turn to update. They literally break down crying with how isolated they are Fucking retard normies can't take literally 3 months of "isolation" without breaking down about it
James Ward
Not that deep my man, I certainly don’t think that puts you at cunt status. My work is doing pretty good right now. Were downgrading our office to a small space if people need to collaborate or entertain clients/have meetings. Looks like we’re trialling remote work until EoY and everyone is pretty happy about it! The amount of free time I get now without the 1hour commute each way and being able to do dumb house chores midday is sweet. Just need to make sure I actually get out and exercise.
Jonathan Green
Honestly if it weren't for college this quarantine would be the best time in my life. All my "friends" are constantly whining about festivals and parties being cancelled. And I'm perfectly happy working on my family farm. (invest in land btw)

>>Next person's turn to update. They literally break down crying with how isolated they are I hate people some times
Logan Stewart
Welcome to your first steps on the journey of learning that the NPC meme is not really a joke at all
Hunter Gutierrez
Im unironically doing worse because lockdown has increased my social requirements. Gf is now at home all day every day so no privacy. Family and friends webcamming non stop.
I just want some alone time but i can't even go out for a long walk or my gf would either want to come or be suspicious.
based schizoidbro normies on literal suicide watch
Brody Bailey
>feeling bad Why? Extroverts literally steal your energy. Fuck them.
Elijah Morales
Lmao. There really is no way for us to be naturally normal
Benjamin White
Same situation.
>team hangout calls to check in on mental health. >girls bring up the struggles of not being with friends and family. >The parents on the team rant about the isolation their kids have to deal with and how they don’t know how their kids will turn out because of all of this. >good boys talk about how scary the world is right now. >I comment that this has been a great time to get through a good amount of yard work. >... >One of the older ladies on the call says ”yeahhh... I think it’s fair to say everyone’s getting a little tired of their yards” and everyone laughs.
Fuck everyone and their fucking norm or shit. This has been one of the few times I’ve been happy.
You're a loser. Give it another year or 2 and you'll blow your brains out
Levi Kelly
> First day back at OPs office > "user, have you got a sec? Let's have a quick pow-wow in my office" > s-sure... > "user, Karen has made a formal complaint to HR about the video chat incident where she says you made her have a mental breakdown. Remember that? Well, I'm really sorry to do this but we can't have members that let the team down, we're really proud of our corporate culture here and we'd like to preserve it." > "I'm sure you'll understand that a HR complaint can put stress on a tightly-knit SEAL team like ours." > "I really like you buddy, you're a nice guy user, but I'm gonna have to let you go your own way bud. No hard feelings? Great!" > "Oh user, on your way out can you send the receptionist Stacey in? Close the door behind us if you can, champ. Alright, catchya buddy!"
Luke Foster
Not sure at all how this isolation factor feels for some. I had orders cut to get on a covid detail in march. Been busy yelling at normies on test sites. Wish I was locked up at home with my gitter, shootin the shit with my neighbors.
Brayden Russell
yep. OP is fucked
John Scott
they asked for a truthful take and you gave them one. dont be a faggot and take some pride for christs sake. no reason to let them drag you down
Benjamin White
don't feel bad
there is literally nothing wrong with you being happy what so ever. it's not your fault that some nt woman can't handle being alone. you don't have to apologize for your well being.
Owen Hughes
>I am actually feeling very good with all of this due to me being schizoid. How so? You mean the voices keep you company?
Andrew Foster
schizoid =\= schizophrenic
Evan Carter
I got a call from the CEO of my company asking how things were going, I told her my ethical concerns about my boss etc, ended up out of a job, been NEET 10 years now. Fuck it if you are a cpa and 2 plus 2 is no longer 4 how can you take pride in your work
Lesson never tell the truth or work for a female
Connor Miller
>There's nothing wrong with being honest. There's a myriad things that can be potentially wrong with being honest.
Honesty being a "virtue" is the biggest scam.
Rather than being sincere to a fault practice to tell people what they want or need to hear. It'll get you further in life.
Im Schizoid and I feel good too. Maybe because I talk to myself all the time lol this quarantine is great
Henry Evans
If you can accept questionable ethics and mindless work you should just get a comfy job working for the government. Just keep HR happy and pretend you like plebbit crap. Takes some practice but once you get it you can take it easy and get paid a decent wage every month.
Benjamin Moore
Boomers are suffering because all they do is fucking party all the time. This is the first time in their lives they haven't been able to go out to the bars while society crumbles around them.
>10yr neet CPA I'm really thinking of giving up on this exam. All I do these days is study and fail practice tests and the test keeps getting postponed due to Corona. I don't see the point, my last boss was a cpa and she was still a cubicle cuck who went home to her wine and her cats and her shitty condo. And then I read shit like this. I just want to do taxes and be self employed idgaf about making a ton of money or working 70 hrs a week at some firm
Gavin Evans
I live in a north european autismocracy, here people aren't really bothered by not being next to others all day.
Carter Edwards
How dare you be happy user? How dare you not be crushingly dependent on other interaction with other people like they are? Is something wrong with you?
Kayden Russell
>tfw your whole life you have felt like there's something different about you >tfw you put that behind you and work hard on self-improvement to become the normal functioning person you're supposed to be >tfw lockdown happens and you realize you always were a weirdo but that's okay
I keep up the "omg lockdown so hard hope it ends soon" charade but I'm like you OP. I'm having a great time. Don't have to commute, get to relax in my own home. Don't have interact with people. Don't have to feel bad about missing out on social engagements.
Elijah Campbell
I live in europe and even I have friends in Colorado
Noah Miller
>Unintended consequences, lads. Not looking good for me at the moment.
It doesnt matter you dont work in an office anymore. In six months, all that will matter is the quality of your work.
It blows my mind that people have all the time in the world (some have extra cash too) to work on all the so called "projects" in their lives and all they can do is bitch about it and go on tiktok. This quarantine has been my biggest fucking confidence boost. I objectively accomplish more and feel better. This shit has motivated me to give corporate culture the finger and manage my own shit. I've read so many novels and have actually learned to meditate that now I'm actively engaged in self cognitive behavioral therapy to just push my self to do more and work harder. t. "Teleworker" until wwIII ruins everything
Isolation is one of the unhealthiest things. Humans are social animals. Good for you if you're an autist who isn't affected by it, but that's not how it is for most people.
Jose Rogers
So is schizoid from the same mental disorder miasma as aspergers
Because the being bore and having an internal fantasy world is me
