Your social life

I'm going to say three.

I have a group of friends over every week for some pen-and-paper roleplaying, and I'm going to get into another one soon enough, and I'm trying to put together a board game night, but it's that time of the year with exams at uni and such....

Also, due to workload and girlfriend living with me and dates and such (and hobbies), I've had to drop a society, and most of my friends from there ended up disowning me since the Drama society is very, very clique. That said, Easter is ending and my other society shall be starting up, so I may end up meeting friends maybe 2-4 times a week, which would gather me about a 6.

I tend to make a huge group of friends, and then slowly whittle them down as the mean people, the racist/homophobic/fundamentalists show themselves, or just the people I'm not overly compatible with just get dropped from my life.

As in, I started this year with about 150 friends on Facebook, and have since dropped to 25. Criteria: Will I likely try to speak to you in the next few months? Would I care if I didn't? Delete.

While it's not horrible(about a 7 I'd say) it's been deteriorating ever since I developed Social Anxiety Disorder which is annoying as hell. I should see if there are any groups I can join for it since I here they help.

All my friends go to different colleges than me, so 2 or 3 right now (at college), maybe 6 or 7 when I'm back in my hometown for the Summer. I'm very bored here.

I'd give myself a one. I bareley even go out.

Probably a 2 or 3 when I'm at college, and a 5 or 6 when I'm home. I'm pretty focused on my studies, and enjoy what I'm doing to the point that I neglect my social life.

Captcha: blinded by science (Very funny, Captcha. very funny)

In School and stuff? Like a 10 I talk to classmates a lot, hang out in school clubs, but at home it's more like a 3. I know when to get some work done.

1, and that's the way I like it.

Reported for being misleading. I came here with the expectation that you found my social life (I mean with a title like that how could I not), only to get crushed by an open discussion.

1. The Escapist IS my social life.

Well I just found it, it's a pretty great one!

Wait, you reported me?

Well then, here we are.

It seems to vary from week to week. One week, I'll hardly hear from anyone. The next they'll be at my house all the time, we'll bar-hop, go to punk shows and bonfires, head down to the beach etc. So I don't really have a solid, steady social life number for you. Last week was I'd say a 2 - however, it looks like this week is gearing up to be from 8 to 9.

My social life has the potential to be quite social. But I'm a recluse, and don't really like being social. Sure I like it when I'm there, but I just don't like talking to people I like, or dislike for that matter.

I'd say my social life used to be around a 5-6. Lately though it seems like it's lowered significantly. Not just for me, but for my friend as well. There's stuff going on...

When I'm not at school, work or shopping I'm home at the computer all alone. What does that tell you?

0.5

I have one really good friend who lives about 2-3 hours away from me. So we only hang out maybe twice a year for a couple of weeks.

Other than that, I guess I don't really have "friends". I have a group of people I somewhat enjoy talking to at school, but I don't really like hanging out with them in my spare time.

Meh, I guess I'm just not a very likeable person xD

Probably like a 4 or a 5. Not the most sociable of people, but I get by.

Also, there is this girl... Fingers crossed!

I'll go with a 6 or a 7. When I'm not absurdly busy with my courses and studying for said courses I'm usually chilling with friends or partying, only occasionally taking a weekend to just get really nerdy over either video games or music production.

Quick note: Most electronic music producers are massive nerds, ironic given the outgoing and party filled nature of our 'scene'.

At the moment I am in pre-finals week so my social live is between a 1 and a 3. Normally it is at a 5-6, I hang out with a few friends a few times a week.

In America, probably a 5 or 6. During this year abroad, probably a 3.

Either a 1 or a 2. I talk to friends online fairly often but very rarely go out anywhere with them.

Well you mentioned the old gamers don't have social lives stint, but oddly my lack of social life really has nothing to do with videogames. The older I get the more of a loner I become.

So on a scale of 1-10 mine right now would probably be 2 or 3. I lost touch with most my old friends and the ones I see right now, I don't see often. Most people I talk to are online and I prefer to socialize with the online denizens anyway. I don't think being social is a necessity, I chose the lonser life and I am enjoying it. I can go out on walks BY MYSELF, I can go to the movie theatre BY MYSELF. I don't need to rely on any boring friend to have a good time. and I enjoy my own company more then anyone else's.

I have maybe three friends I see and talk to on a regular basis, of which I only actually like one. I can safely say my bestfriend is a cat.

I wasn't always like this mind you. I dated a girl for three years. After she left me for a different guy I came to really respect and love my own company and shut everyone else out because how can I love what I cannot trust?

Sure it might not be super healthy, but I can say I am pretty happy that I don't feel the need to have someone with me just to go shopping like a lot of people I used to know...

Usually a 7, I like my own privacy but I never dodge a chance to hang with friends or party.

Lately due to exams, we hang out less to study (understandable) so at the moment, about a 3-4? It'll go back up soon as summer rolls around.

Diablo2000:
Social Life? Is that some kind of food?

If it is, I hope they serve it as take out. Too many people in restaurants.

To answer the question, maybe 2 or 3, but that's because I had to move away from everyone I know to get a job, and it's hard to make friends with people at work when they're all 40 year olds on their second marriages who only talk about kids and sports, neither of which interest me in the slightest.

5. Funnily enough since I got on facebook last year my social life has improved massively. There's a few girls on my friends list who just invite everyone on their friends list. If I get an invite to a party on facebook I'll go. I'm actually reconnecting with a lot of old friends.

JaceArveduin:
what is this "social life" of which you speak? It's a new concept to me, and I almost find it intriguing.

Jace, I'm hurt. I thought we were friends...

I'll just take the birthday cake I had made for you, and eat it myself.

*Turns up nose.*

OT: I have a very, very, very active social life, both with people abroad I know from here and Steam, and from my local area. I'm not for want of friends.

Touche Silver, Touche. I thought he meant real life people that you actually see everyday, not magic fairies from abroad and under the world.

10. I socialize with lots of people all the time. Everyday in fact. Just because they aren't in the same place doesn't reduce the validity of our conversation.

Oh great, how I missed you. Mind you this cave and No Tresspassers sign have kinda grown on me.

Lol, but no I didn't report you :) If I'm to stay on topic though I'd put it on maybe a 2 during the school year (if you only count the times I see friends outside of school), and maybe a 4 or 5 during the summer.

I do seasonal work at fast food jobs, but make enough to live quite comfortable, independent, and well fed at that. Not very imaginative when it comes to relating to people. Was starting to incorporate saying "good day/evening" to people as i passed them down the street...gotta start somewhere right?

monetary system + bigwon's dogma + impatience/laziness to only half-heartedly follow said dogma = 1-2 ish area (i put a good amount of time in with the family, good people that deserve all the good will i can spare)

Otherwise I really am just a mean and despicable creature at heart you know.it's so difficult to really change. :/

Definitely a 1. I don't have a single friend, I just don't connect with people, I try once and a while to make friends...people exchange a few words when they see me but it never moves to the step where its like hey lets meet each other outside of class/work.
It has gotten especially hard since I've finished school and my job has co workers of really varying age ranges (mostly 10+ years older); I've tried going to D&D groups and WoD LARPs but being the new guy most people won't even give you the time of day.
I repeatedly go days/weeks without talking to another living soul.

7 when its not finals season, 5 when its just regular ol' middle of the semester time and like 1 when it is finals season.

Damn you finals, damn you to the deepest corner of Hades--you know the one where the tangent angle is 13 degrees? Yeah that one.

My what?

Ok all joking aside, mine would probably be about a 3 or 4.

Definitely a one. I don't see any of my friends outside of school. I just sit here in my room browsing the internet and playing video games. Sometimes, like today, I go out for walks down by the river near my house. Honestly, I wish I had someone to be close to and to trust, because I'm sort of going through that teenager phase where I don't trust my family as much as I should and it'd be nice to have someone to be able to enjoy myself with, y'know?

For the most part, I like the way that things are right now, but that's part of the problem. To be close to someone like this, I'd need someone who enjoys little things and is fine with repetitive activities like I do. Most people don't strike me as the type for these things, though.

at the moment 0-1

not that this bothers me...but still

edit

I narrowly escape the 1 by playing Pathfinder every other weekend with a small group of people.

I'm really just on an off year in another city before transfering to a college in america anyways so any bonds i tie here would be thin and easily snap once we all move to different parts of the world so i figured "why bother?".

At home it's probably borderline 6/7 though. I guess that's just what it's gonna be like once you move out of your hometown after almost 19 years.
