LMFAO!
I was going with:
“Do you have scoliosis?”
“Excuse me, young man, is that scoliosis I’m seeing?”
“Hey, dude, you got scoliosis or sumthin’?”

I think people are referring to purely social interactions not ones with an agenda in mind. The interactions you have listed do not fall into this category. You have demonstrated that you are intelligent in other aspects of your life (school, lifting, working towards a career) but clearly you have not applied your intelligence to your social skills.
You refer to “doing groupwork” rather than having a group of friends.
You refer to “giving presentations” rather than having a girlfriend.
Listen dude, I was once an introverted and a social retard in my late teens, but I worked HARD at building my social skills since then. I joined a couple extra-curricular school clubs, hit bar/clubs regularly (2-3x week) and FORCED myself out of my comfort zone by making conversation with people (mostly women).
Spend time growing your social skills, it will only help you man.

You didn’t list a single social activity, extra curricular activity, or anything even remotely resembling a socializing group that revolves around a shared interest.

I used to have friends in high school and we would smoke weed every day and what not but then some friends got into harder shit and people were drinking and driving all the time. Saw one of my friends OD and have a seizure but he was OK.
I went to a college across the country to Ohio state because i wanted to move away and start again. I had a lot of weed buddies and I would smoke weed every day and go to everything high.
I got a fuckbuddy that was older than me that I hung out with for about 2 and a half years. She was 24 and i was 20. She was like 5’4, 36 DD breasts but a little overweight. Also half mexican half puerto rican.
We would drink and smoke and fuck and she would give me money and buy me stuff since she had a real job.
I had a big medical incident in my family which im not going to discuss so I moved back to Massachusetts. I havent had much friends since. I’m not looking to start doing drugs again or drink. I also dont have time to get a job since I’m in accelerated semester summer school now and previously took a lot of classes. At least half the girls I see are so fucking fat that I dont want anything to do with them. I live at home with my family now so my confidence is lower than it was when I lived in a small apartment away from my parents.

You have to fix this, confidence is one of the most important parts of success, and it is of extreme value in every facet of life.

Define “a lot of weed”… my neighbor is academically excellent (fluent in several languages, brilliant pianist, and holds multiple degrees) - for years I thought that he was a savant, but it turns out that he had a marijuana-induced breakdown after an intensive smoking session during a trip (no pun intended) to Paris.
The world should’ve been his oyster; instead, his resulting inability to properly interact with real people landed him a prime gig stacking shelves in Wal-Mart. I’m not kidding, either.

Bad shit happens in life. You can let it get you down and use it as an excuse. Or you can push through it. Yes, someone has become ill in your family, and it’s perfectly understandable for depression/low self-esteem to creep in from this but in the end it’s still an excuse.
Don’t have confidence? Throw yourself into social interactions and fake it until you have built the confidence. It will come if you do.
For the record, I don’t drink/smoke and go to clubs/bars regularly. Heck at the beginning I was so determined to build my social skills that some nights I would even go by myself when my buddies were unable to. But no one could tell I was by myself or not drinking because I would be so entrenched in conversation with groups of people I would meet. If you force yourself out every weekend over and over and stick to it your situation will improve. I like clubs, but if they’re not for you find somewhere you can go to open conversations with people, especially women.
Your life especially your youth is PRECIOUS. YOU WILL NOT GET IT BACK. IT’S UP TO YOU AND ONLY YOU TO FIX YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.

I see. The cluelessly smartass response eliminates the possibility of a drug-induced breakdown. Next time I see an alcoholic dying from liver failure (and I see a few), I’ll be sure to ask them how many bottles of spirits they had to consume to make the guest list for “Club Afterlife”.

and then he’ll say “what?” because he can’t hear you from the top of your ivory tower.
OP to answer you’re original question, yes you have scoliosis and probably hepatitis because you were sharing marijuana needles with your junkie friends. and your fuckbuddy had the clap. I know, I gave it to her.

I didn’t make the connection at first, either. A friend of mine is a drugs counsellor. I didn’t know that she knew my neighbor, but she mentioned him after a giving me a lift home one night - she told he me that he had had a breakdown following the aforementioned excursion to Paris.
I already knew that he was a talented pianist ( I hear him playing most nights); that he holds multiple degrees (seen him in university) and I know that he’s a polyglot (been told by yet another person).
I also know from experience that he has minimal social skills. And we are not talking about typical ‘nerd level’ social interaction. Why else would a guy that qualified be working in Walmart?
Heck, they wouldn’t accept somebody with those qualifications unless there was a an issue that prevented them from being accepted in a position that would make better use of those qualifications…
But you bring up an interesting point. The OP is quite nonchalant about his drug use, but is having kittens about scoliosis…

You can stick your ivory tower where the sun doesn’t shine. You’ve clearly decided to attempt a one man war on me because you’ve taken one of my quotes out of context and wrongly concluded that I’m anti-drugs.
This is a case of mistaken identity - you’ve mistaken me for someone who give a fuck about your drug use. If I know somebody who’s been adversely affected by drugs in real life, then I’m not going to sit around for some anonymous bullshitter to tell me that I’m wrong.

well this leads me to two conclusions.
Either: this kid’s parents gave him everything, put his ass through school for his multiple degrees even though he hardly passed (including language courses), and caved when he asked to “study abroad” in Paris. Once he was away from his parents he realized his life had no structure without their guiding hands and, lacking the ability to apply himself to anything, returns home broke. Depression ensues, his parents get him a “councilor” and not wanting to admit he’s a failure, blames it on the drugs.
OR: he’s just socially retarded like the OP and couldn’t get his shit together, or he has something along the lines of asberger’s. Employers are forced with the coice of hiring a gifted individual who is mentally unstable or hiring an employee who can function like a normal adult. They pick the obvious choice. Wal-Mart hires him because they have to meet a retard quota for HR.
either way, weed doesn’t factor into it, and that therapist should be fucking fired for a breach of confidentiality.

you’re saying that people with obvious signs of depression are in a drug induced breakdown. and then you’re saying you’re going to go around judging alcoholics.
as far as my own drug use, I smoked weed for about two years. I stopped a month ago because i felt like it. It didn’t cripple me, i didn’t have a breakdown and i didn’t become a husk of a human being. i just stopped forgetting where i left my car keys.
