  Because we are tired of fake people <br>Tired of having people who only like us because of the things that we are able to do but hate us because we can do these things in secret <br>We are tired of being used &nbsp; Being alone is way better than putting up with these people

  My neighbors call me a recluse… I feel fortunate and peaceful.

  I don&apos;t consider myself exceptionally smart. But I definitely avoid people, endless BS conversations about nothing, useless gossip and sitting around. I love being quiet, alone and doing projects and fixing things.

  The best thing to do with this awareness is to stop caring. Take things as they are... it&apos;s not like we have much control.

  I don’t think it’s about intelligence. Some people just get tired of fake conversations and choose peace.

  When half the people you run into everyday is below average the fatigue and withdrawl becomes inevitable.

  Intelligence requires ethics. Ethics require empathy. This makes it difficult to like anyone with no ethics

  I checked out a long time ago. I got so tired of standing by while chronically stupid people made stupid decisions based on emotions and popularity rather than logic, reason and facts. When I tried to say anything, I was silenced. After everything fell apart, I would hear “why didn’t you say anything?” Rather than blaming the real reasons why it didn’t work, I would get blamed for letting it fail. The person who screwed up would get promoted. Enough. I’m retired now and trying to disappear. I spend my time fishing, hunting, camping, hiking…and not having to answer to anyone.

  It’s the participation that made me pull back. In a society that is running business as usual in truly destructive ways participating feels like a quiet crime

  I just don&apos;t feel good anywhere, I feel exiled everywhere. You can&apos;t function in society if you&apos;re a normal, loving, pure person. It&apos;s not possible. And people are generally just problems that slowly stick to you.
