so you are telling me you never have moments where you're sitting alone at your computer and feel empty? moments where just to hear another person's voice or feel another person's touch wouldn't make your whole day seem worthwhile?

you never for one minute think how nice it would be to go to some place you've never been before, meet someone new, have an experience you couldn't have imagined for yourself? you've never wanted to connect to a person, study their face in front of you, notice how they look and act and the way light plays across their face in mornings or how shadow might make a face you know seem new and breathtakingly unfamiliar? have that person touch your face or your hand in a way that makes you feel like you've never felt a touch before, or say something wonderful to you that you could never have predicted?

or even to feel the burn of failure and rejection, and the strange freedom that grants, knowing you tried something and it failed and you're still okay? or simply to wander about the street at night with friends, with nothing to do and nowhere to go? i usually find that, oddly enough, those are the nights that i tend to remember the most.

it's more than shopping and getting wasted. fandom is nice and fun, but its a world you can control, a world that can't hurt you. if you rely on that entirely, it's no better than getting wasted every night. it's a crutch. go out and take a risk. i promise it's better than you think, and i don't believe you when you say you don't ever, for even one minute, want to.

Frankly, I don't miss human contact, no. Maybe it's because my family is loving enough *shrug*
As for emptiness..seriously, no, I don't. But I have felt emptiness in social places where I feel uncomfortable, sometimes. Probably because I forced myself to goXD

I love travelling. That's one thing my laziness doesn't stop. But I don't need to meet people to enjoy it. I can also experience lots of new things without new people. I don't actively recluse all the time, but I don't seek company either

you've never wanted to connect to a person, study their face in front of you, notice how they look and act and the way light plays across their face in mornings or how shadow might make a face you know seem new and breathtakingly unfamiliar?

...no. Not really. Wonderful for you if you do, though. I really don't crave this. Just thinking about it makes me groanXD

have that person touch your face or your hand in a way that makes you feel like you've never felt a touch before, or say something wonderful to you that you could never have predicted?

I guess, in an abstract way? But I don't even long for it so much. Sometimes I read about that in fiction and think it sounds nice, but I don't actively seek it.
The last part yes, though, but I get that in online friends too ^^

or even to feel the burn of failure and rejection, and the strange freedom that grants, knowing you tried something and it failed and you're still okay?

I try and fail and succeed. I just don't seek this in social interactions in person. I've sometimes wandered around like that, sometimes I had fun, but usually, I have more fun in front of my computer, honestly. For me, they were quite forgettable, those nights

it's more than shopping and getting wasted. fandom is nice and fun, but its a world you can control, a world that can't hurt you. if you rely on that entirely, it's no better than getting wasted every night. it's a crutch. go out and take a risk. i promise it's better than you think, and i don't believe you when you say you don't ever, for even one minute, want to.

Oh, but I like sticky fandomm interaction. I wouldn't be here if I didn't! And I always always comment logged in for that reason tooXD

It's not that I live at home closed to the outside world; I go to college, I go to the pool, I go out shopping, mostly books and manga; I go to museums, I go to jazz concerts (two days ago). I even went on an internship abroad! I have friends, I hang out with my family and siblings. But the thing I like to do the most with my free time is fangirl in my computer. Is it really THAT hard to understand and respect?

It's certainly not, I must have misunderstood the extent of isolation you were talking about. I am in a new place and don't know anyone, so i'm feeling lonely myself, and the idea that someone might choose that isolation struck me as sort of a waste. but, clearly you are not the shut-in that the other repliers seemed to assume. i apologize for my presumption.

Yeah, but I also have those "double rainbow" moments where the world is just so beautiful that to recapture it would be impossible.

Some of these things involve money. I do want to interact with people in that way, but I know I'm too immature, needy and shallow to have that happen with anyone.

Oh, I know all about the freedom of deciding to fail. I don't have friends, however.

However, quite a bit of that does involve shopping and getting wasted somewhere. I'm not comfortable with drinking culture. I think I prefer fandom as a crutch. It doesn't come with a hangover.
