Why is being a part of a social circle so important in the real world? Why are loners treated like they are aliens from another planet?It's not that I didn't try to make friends in real life. I tried my best. I kept trying even after getting disappointed again and again (1/13)
I got clowned many times but I didn't give up. Still everyone has a limit. So did I. After a point I just didn't care about whether I had friends or not and decided to enjoy and have fun by myself. I am not ashamed to admit that I have gone to movies by myself and enjoy (2/13)
eating alone. Does that make me miserable and pathetic? Pray tell me why and how. I am not a part of any close knit group in real life. I don't have a 3 AM buddy I talk to.I behave politely with most people I come across and allow only a selected few to go beyond the (3/13)
acquaintance level. And I have more friends online on this bird app than I ever could in real life.

Does that mean I am abnormal? Trust me I am not. I have been called a weirdo and a creep just because I enjoy remaining to myself (4/13)
In real life,all I do is mind my own business and stick to my books,movies and dramas. I come to twitter because I like fangirling.

Why do I get tagged as a weirdo just because I don't roam around with a bunch of people? I get accused of not opening up to others(5/13)
Every time I tried opening up to people,I ended up making a fool of myself. My interests,my hobbies and everything else was mocked. Some people simply ignored it. Others pretended to be interested only to laugh at me behind my back. So after a point,I simply didn't care(6/13)
Some say that I didn't try hard enough. Well how would you feel if someone you thought of as a "friend" in school invited everyone to their birthday party but left you out? And you get to find out only after they post pics of the same the next day.(7/13)
And then they make excuses like,"We didn't tell you because we knew you wouldn't be interested in coming."

How would it feel if everyone comes to you for sharing their woes,make you listen patiently but turn a deaf ear when you try to share something about yourself? (8/13)
How would it feel if your so callled friends crack around each other but get offended the moment you try to crack a harmless joke? By my own admission,my sense of humour is zero. But I tried to be funny just to be a part of a goddamn group. And I was rudely told off (9/13)
Honestly how much more can any self respecting person try? Some folks allowed me to hang out with them just because they pitied me but not once did they consider me as a friend for real. By the time my school years came to an end,I was done with all that bullshit. (10/13)
Back then I was often told that I am expected to be the centre of attraction in every social gathering just like my father who has a huge circle of friends who admire him. But honestly I haven't inherited that trait from him. That's him. Not me(11/13)
The point is that why is being a loner not considered normal? Why are we made to feel that something is wrong with us when,with all due fairness,it could be the people who are at fault as well?

Maybe gelling with people is just not our thing. We AREN'T pathetic (12/13)
This might be seen as a stunt for gaining attention or sympathy by some but that was not my intention.I don't even rant often but today I was feeling really hurt because of something someone said and I had to vent.However I'm sorry for cluttering up your TLs (13/13)
