I have hit another unusual thing that I cannot understand. So I was at my sister's wedding, quietly playing video games, when my stepbrother comes up and starts harping on me for quietly playing video games. I mean I was not bothering anyone, I was not in the way, I was sitting there sipping my water playing games. He spent at least an hour, of combined time, telling me to stop playing my game, to stop being so non-social, to go over and talk to a female. That would eventually evolve into flat out telling me that I am not happy and that I need to go try to meet people. Which slowly turned into my usual dispute with overly social people about how I am just fine staying home alone and playing video games and watching anime. Of course I do not waste much time with these disputes, once those disputes are recognized I slowly turn to shorter answers, one word answers, and then unintelligible sounds. That is what I do, so I am not wasting too much effort.
Anyway, I want to understand why it is that everyone seems convinced that I am lying to them and/or myself? I mean really, what do I have to do to convince people that I am in fact just fine with the life that I am living? Is my word not good enough for some reason? What do I have to do to make people stop harping on me about not having any friends or not dating or anything like that? I want to convince them that I am just fine living alone with my cat.
Is it even possible to do something like that? I am starting to think they only way to do something like that would be to stop interacting with those people. Though I could be wrong, I am not 100% sure. I do my best just to brush them off and ignore them, but that does not mean they are not annoying. I just need them to be convinced that I am just fine alone.
