[Whitepill] One thing that the self-improvement people have on me

[Giracel]

Is the idea of "being interesting" as a person. I would be the first to admit that I am a very uninteresting person outside of academics… although that's not exactly my fault after a lifetime of being forced into overachieving. But at this stage in my life, I genuinely have no real interests outside of study. I did used to have some stuff I would work on in my spare time, mainly chess and videography, but I've pretty much moved on from those things more recently. I've tried picking up music production but I was too shitty at it, and realized that I would probably be 30+ by the time I got good enough to make anything other people would listen to—and by that stage, I would have probably lost interest in it anyway, so I gave up.

There is genuinely nothing I could actually talk about in conversation with normies or anyone that is not an avowed incel besides school/work topics. My sociological and geopolitical views would be dismissed as offensive and extremist.

But here's the catch: the same could be said of foids and most normies in general. Have you ever heard foids talk or tried to talk to one? 90%+ percent of the time it's incoherent slop or relationship gossip. Same for the men: it's sports or how much they can bench at the gym or what whore they just fucked last night at the frat party. So yes, I am a "boring" person, but I don't think neurotypicals are any more compelling. It is actually very rare to meet an "interesting" person of either gender in the 2020s.

Does SI mean special interest? That's mainly a term used in an autist context

(Oh, self-improvement, obviously)

No, it means self improvement because i didnt want to type 2 words instead of 2 letters

Want to be clear: I am not defending self-improvement (probably should have titled this differently), that was mostly clickbait for when I eventually counter the claim. The idea is that I am boring but so are neurotypicals, so the SI argument falls apart.

Most ppl are pretty uninteresting.
When it comes to interesting people though, I usually like to talk to people that know a lot about history & sciences. Sometimes metaphysics people can say some interesting things too as long as they're not the annoying dipshit kinds (unfortunately it's rare to meet one that isn't).

You could also always pick strange things to study about like alchemy & things of that nature. People get very interested in odd things I think.

But also I'm a creepy person so listening to me might not be the best idea
