Not fitting into society really sucks. I don't have any "real" friends and sorta just go to work then come home and either watch TV or play video games. There are a lot of weirdo's like me out there. We're the ones dating the weird "emo" girls that are into heavy metal. Not because we like heavy metal but because their emotional problems balance our social problems.
I do like going to work and co-existing with normal people who otherwise would never spend any time with me. I just work because it gives me something to do.
You would be surprised the amount of money losers like me have. I am 26 and worth over 3 million dollars liquid. Mark Zuckerberg is a perfect example of this. He lacks social skills yet created the largest social networking site in the world. Seems most of the true innovators are loner/losers. Probably a necessary prerequisite to true greatness.

I'd suggest getting more fresh air. Go for a hike or a bike ride. Shutting down the video games might reduce the grandiose image you've created for yourself - perhaps the real barrier between you and others.

They're not all like Mark. Ever heard of Richard Branson. Get off the couch and get into an activity, take a class.... women care more ambition, drive, confidence, than they do money. Start volunteering your TIME perhaps... to a worthy LOCAL charity... stop whinging & feeling sorry for yourself... who wants that kind of friend?

Yeah, being worth over 3 million dollars at 26 is real rough man! I could cry for you! Hahaha....

RE:being worth over 3 million dollars at 26 is real rough man! I could cry for you!.....
you are missing his point. give the guy a break.
to the OP: Numerous others have/or are in your situation. being socially unconnected. but it is important to branch out. slowly, with one new connection in another group outside of your norm (meaning NOT the techy group or emo group..) and don't talk about net-worth. just basic conversation. keep it simple. you will be surprised how quickly you can start a friendship.
its not impossible..good luck to you man.
isolation breeds loneliness (so does being on social medias online) GET outside.

You are an exception to the 'weirdo' norm, in that you have the financial freedom to do anything. I envy that. However, I have never minded being different and not fitting in. I promise that the moment you stop minding it,the world opens up. My advice is to go backpacking or hostelling or travelling. Great way to practice meeting people, learn about yourself and generally have a kickass time. And fly your freak flag. I think when words like loser, emo, preppie whatever, drop away you are left with a person's personality, character and intentions. And those are what really matter most when looking at compatibilty for relationships of any flavour.

I'm in a similar boat to you. I haven't dated an emo/punk rock-type chick but they've always had an appeal, and I guess your damage-balance idea is why. I'd recommend exploring creative outlets that you might be interested in; broadening your interests makes it easier to connect with a broader range of people. I wouldn't shut down the video games though, everyone unwinds somehow.

Please stop 'self branding' yourself: " weirdo" " loser". Get out of your environment: travel; force yourself to connect; stop this tailspin...your current life gives you too much time to roll these kinds of hurtful thoughts around in your head. You know nothing good can come from it.
