You there, with your left hand on your face. Cut that out.
I never really understood the FOREVER ALONE culture (not the one on 4chan, the other places like TV Tropes) where people accept the fact that they will never socialize with people, date the loves of their life or become socially successful.
Don't you have friends? You could start with that. Society isn't very hard to live in if you take the time to find the funny people.
The thing that bugs me the most is hearing people, IN REAL LIFE, spout the Forever Alone meme. How does it even count if I can hear you talk about it?

Feeling lonely in a room full of people isn't that hard, you know.
Loneliness doesn't just apply to not socializing. You can be a social butterfly and still be lonely.Like when I went to senior prom without a date.
No.

I think I partially agree with you. If people choose to be loners and give up having friends, I think that it is probably not a good idea to talk about that much. I think that if you do, it may either make it seem like you are bragging about that choice (which seems kind of strange to me given that you would be boosting about it to other people) or make it look like you are fishing for compliments/friends.

I think that sounds pretty annoying, almost as bothersome as when people talk about how they are "nice guys" and women always choose the mean men or whatever. I think that if you are looking for someone to spend your life with, you need to appeal through your actions, not through criticizing others.
If you want to be "Forever Alone" and such, I believe that you need to accept that and try to avoid telling others about it much. In general, I believe that one should make it a habit to not talk about oneself.
Still, I think that too often people try to turn introverts into extroverts or fail to understand that some people just like being alone.
Well, it mostly concerns this lowly emo girl that come into the starbucks I work part-time at, and talk about being FOREVER ALONE, and I go "Hi jill, how's your pet snake doing?" and she just looks down all sad-like, like we don't hang out with her when we are on break or anything.
I mean like, is there a different kind of FOREVER ALONE people are referencing? Because I don't think it counts when people actually ARE trying to keep you company.
What I don't get is why these people don't even investigate changing things. The best way to get out and meet people (and eventually get laid, which I'm pretty sure is a significant factor in all this) is to put yourself in a position where you're doing things with other people in a regular basis. Like taking a class in something that interests you, going to cons, local music gigs, whatever.
I agree that situation sounds kind of weird. I think that it is pretty strange to consider oneself "Forever Alone" when one actually hangs out with people. I guess it might just be that the person in question uses "Forever Alone" to mean "currently lacks a boyfriend" or something like that. I would not know though.
That being said, the person you know might just be having some tough times either purely because of a mood, or due to something else. I would tread lightly.
I think DonZabu is right here too. Plus, I feel like personal circumstances tend to be different enough that asking for advice online about dating and such is often pretty ineffective.
I don't know the Forever Alone meme, though, so perhaps I'm not understanding what this is about. I'm talking about people feeling alone when apparently they are not.
It may bug you, because it's somewhat ungrateful of her? You hang out with her, she still pretend she is "all alone", as if you didn't exist or something. It may be she has so much stuff she doesn't talk to you about that make her feel that way.
There's your problem, ma'am.
Methinks the net aspie fits a different brand of ronery than the angstridden person that does go out. We can probably all name some posters on the other forum who by their own admission do little else than sit on their ass behind the comp all day, every day. Monthly tugboat, an entire internet worth of junk media to consume and plenty of sites that are a comfortable echo chamber justifying them not putting in any effort to change their social situation.
Angstypants is a whole different type of creature, the arrested teen that still has a romanticized image of life and is mopey that reality doesn't live up to it. But lo and behold, look at all the attention it nets you and all the fucks people suddenly give if you slit or are boozed out all the time or cry at parties. It all feels so genuine suddenly, like a soap opera come to life. You get ridiculed for it behind your back? More of that genuine angst! People stop inviting you to stuff? Even more angst! See how long you can milk that shit until the latest threat to an hero breaks the camel's back and you go through a string of therapists because you don't actually want to be helped. In short, whether depression or solipsism, you feel alone because your perception is skeeved, having the idea that no-one experiences the same things you do and are thus unable to make genuine connections.
