Dude, do what you want to do. If you want to play video games with your boys, do it. If you want to learn how to play the piano, a flute, a guitar, or whatever, do it. If you want to nail random chicks, go out and do it.
Don’t try to imitate some of the posers on here. If you got an interest in it or want to change, do it. If you want to stick with what you’re doing, do it.[/quote]
This is really good advice … and from ImBarret … who knew

Piano and working out are “loser-ish”???!?!
Sounds like what I like doing. I play drums, work out, and take a martial art called Krav Maga. It’s seriously awesome stuff.
Why not consider finding other people who like the same things as you? Go train at the CRC at Tech, you’ll make some good trainin friends. And check out Under The Couch to meet other musicians, maybe join a band.
I also have some friends at Tech (musicians) and whatnot, PM me or something, maybe we could hang out and train or play music.
Edit: You’re going to Tech. You’ll be doing exactly what you did in high school - the studying, at least. Just more of it. lol

Playing the piano is actually pretty pimp.
Staying on the computer all day is pretty lame, though.
Join activity clubs. Ping pong, volleyball, whatever. That will get you out and about. A quick google search or craigslist search should yield some results for events and activities in your area.[/quote]
x2 piano pimp, computer lame.
Reading books also pimp, video games (fun) but lame.
Do something you enjoy that can lead somewhere. You could play in a band with your piano skills, reading books opens you to endless possibilities in terms of knowledge and skill but (most of) teh internetz and video games are mindless wastes of time.
Why does every…im a loser with no life… thread seem like someone is trolling me =[ Fuuuuck.
Its starting to make me think im a loser.
If youre going to spend hours on the computer at least do something cool. Like fantasy bowling. That and you can memorize the names of every sex toy ever made. Great conversation starter with 19 year old college freshmen. Just dont have a mustache while talking about it.
This is gonna be a long post bec I do have a lot of opinions on this stuff.
WHO GIVES A FUCK?! Look I’m in the same situation as you. I’m 17 and I just graduated. I had some close highschool friends but I would only hangout for bdays or some rare occasions(I LOVE the movies). Even from freshmen year I realized I wasn’t like my other friends that are all like, “Come with me to the vending machine” and I’d be like, “Why?”, and they would invariably say something such as, “Just come with me man”, then in my head, “Wtf? Pussy…”
People loved me. I’m funny, nice to people, and spoke my mind(So I’m told :D). But I didn’t hangout with anyone and only went to 2 parties which was because they really wanted me to go.
At the end of the year everyone was getting really emotional that it was the end of highschool and I admit I got a little caught up and I was convinced to go to my school’s GradNight because it was the last day with my school friends. It sucked. Paid 100 dollars for an 8th grade dance with rock climbing. Only good thing about it was free food in which I took advantage of and I attribute all that food to a great training session I had the next day.
Basically, the moral of the GradNight story is don’t try to fit in to something your not. If i didnt go to gradnight I knew I would refuse it bec everyone’s fb status the next day said it was awesome but since I actually went I now know for sure that I’m not everyone else and I will not try to be like everyone else.
Hows life now? I haven’t hungout with anyone from school and I could give a shit. I really don’t miss them. I’m too busy enjoying MY OWN LIFE. I’m getting 10+ hrs daily, naps, plenty of food, and spending time with family. Going from 3-4hrs a night of sleep to 10+ and more food I’m recovering like crazy. I feel fine after most days and now I’m in the gym almost everyday and I fucking love it. I fucking love my life.
First of all, nothing that you posted is loserish. I would avoid playing video games alone, but it’s fun to play goldeneye or something with your buddies. Plus, once chicks find out you’re in shape and can play an instrument it will be game over basically. Go to an open mic night or something and rock out.
The nice thing about college is that you can basically recreate yourself. You’re going to be meeting a ton of new people, and you’ll be in a dorm packed with folks your age. I recommend any kind of pick-up sports or athletic clubs. I’ve made friends just by walking to a basketball court and getting involved in a game with whoever was around there. I’ve found rugby clubs also to be pretty welcoming and fun. When I first moved to DC I joined a club and everyone is really cool.
Don’t worry about making friends in college. Everybody is in the same boat and will want to hang out.
Also, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be solitary. I love hanging out with friends and everything, but I also relish the time I can spend alone.
