I often don’t feel like talking because it takes too much effort.
I think small-talk is a waste of time. I’d rather talk about the deep, intimate stuff immediately, but of course few people want to do that. They want to build a rapport first.
In social situations, I have nothing smart, funny, or interesting to say. It’s best I say nothing or people will see how stupid and dull I am.
When I do speak people often can’t hear me and ask me to repeat myself five hundred times. It’s both embarrassing and frustrating.
I am a terrible person. I can’t let people to discover the ‘real’ me or they’ll reject me.
I can’t stand rejection.
I can’t stand criticism.
Being around people sometimes makes me fantasize about physically hurting them. I don’t like having these thoughts; they’re too disturbing.
I don’t belong. I am an outcast.
I’d like to be with people who like the same things I do and feel the same way I do, but I can’t find these people so I’d rather be alone.
I’m so used to doing a lot of things on my own that I don’t like doing much with other people.
I only need people when I’m lonely.
I need to feel a very special connection with someone in order to enjoy their company.
I usually don’t feel any special connection with anyone except with whomever I’m dating at the moment.
When I have a boyfriend I don’t feel the need to have any friends. He’s the center of my existence; he’s all I need.
I am judgmental. I don’t like a lot of people.
People are judgmental. I’m not a likeable person, therefore nobody likes me.
I am too self-absorbed. I really don’t care about other people’s problems. I wish I could talk about myself all the time, but I can’t do that because then they’ll see how selfish I am. Hence I constantly have to put on an act and it’s tiring.
Acting friendly, selfless, and understanding to show this good side of me to people not only is exhausting, but it makes me feel like a fraud.
People bore me, especially when all they do is talk about themselves.
I don’t enjoy the things people enjoy. I always seem to enjoy what other people don’t enjoy. I always seem not to want to conform.
I am a party pooper. I hate it when people have a good time because I’m not having a good time.
I am always envious of other people because they’re better, prettier, smarter, more popular etc. I avoid people to avoid feeling this terrifying envy which consumes me and makes me feel worthless.
I’d rather be alone than to feel “stuck” with other people.
Being with other people makes me feel like a prisoner. You have to abide by some social norms and I hate doing that.
I also like my space. Social contact needs to happen on my own terms.
People always ask for favors. I have to avoid being too close to people so they won’t ask me any favors. I can’t stand doing people favors.
People are unreliable. When you need them, they’re not there for you. It’s best to rely only on yourself.
When I’m friends with someone I tend to want them all to myself. I am jealous of their friends and perceive their spending too much time with other people as a personal rejection.
When I’m friends with someone I feel as though I am constantly competing with them. It’s draining. I hate losing, but I always end up losing because I’m such a loser. It makes me feel worthless, so I have to sever all ties with them before I lose it and let them see how terrible I am.
When I’m friends with someone they’re either my friends or my enemies. Some days I love them; some days I hate them.
Friendships are too complicated.
Friendships are too demanding and taxing.
I am not good with people.
I don’t make a very good friend. People are better off without me.
