What do you prefer, to socialize in a pub that's going to feature a Rolling Stones cover band for the entire evening or this?

Depends. Does the dripping water have a good beat to it?What do you prefer, to socialize in a pub that's going to feature a Rolling Stones cover band for the entire evening or this?
Nice! I knew I liked you.I grew up listening to loud music at home as my parents liked to turn the volume on! I pretty much liked it, am a musician.
Let them think that, they are correct in a way. And what's wrong with that anyways? If going all out to keep your health optimum and prevent your chances of winning the cancer lottery, as I call it, is an obsession then it is a worthwhile one.
Haha thank you what do you play?Depends. Does the dripping water have a good beat to it?

I don't play an instrument, I just have a great appreciation for music and musicians. My dad's a musician, even had a play on Broadway, so growing up there was constant music playing at the house — his studio was there and he also practiced with his band there. My thing is dancing. I was a dancer and did competitive cheerleading growing up and later sang — I was part of a traveling choral group. I own a dulcimer, but haven't played it enough to say I play an instrument. lol What instrument(s) do you play?Haha thank you what do you play?
Those must have been awesome memories! It's great that you like dancing, it uplifts your spirit! I love dancing too, would always be the last to leave a concert. I studied piano at a music conservatory.I don't play an instrument, I just have a great appreciation for music and musicians.

Yep, absolutely! Dancing is my therapy. That's so cool that you studied at a conservatory. I love the piano! :)Those must have been awesome memories!

It seems like everyone where I live is interested in only political activism, endurance exercise, and general overachievement. I struggle to connect with people, I'm working on that now more than on food stuff.
Being health conscious and following a lifestyle based on Ray Peat's ideas seems to make it a bit difficult for me to interact and connect with people on a deeper level. There are those who would follow the mainstream health gurus and consider me being misguided..or people unaware about the principles of health, thinking that I'm health obsessed. I either have to pretend to be someone who I'm not to be able to socialize (eating out in restaurants where food is loaded with PUFAs-why would I want to do that!?) or isolate myself and learn to become content solely in my own company.
Yeah, that!Haha seriously though. It's been that way for me and my closest peeps pretty much my whole life. When you have a deeper knowledge of the repercussions of your actions, and a higher standard of life quality for yourself, it makes you an outsider.
Yeah, that!
It's nice to have people we can relate to, but I also like interacting with people who are different from me. That's one reason why I'm still here. There aren't exactly a lot of vegans around these parts (lol), but I never want to become intolerant like those who have been intolerant to me. Some of the people I love most in the world have polar opposite views from me, but we respect each other. We're confident in who we are and what we believe so we don't have this need to get the other to believe what we do. It's nice.
Great quote!One of my good friends quotes a professor of his to me once who said "only a fool doesn't shop the market place of ideas"
It's so true. I am a non denominational Christian (since 17 years old) but I also am a man of visceral data and I have a passion for learning science. One of my best friends is an atheist yet has given me a more dynamic view of my own faith. People who shun others for their inconsequential choices are just people who live in fear and insecurity.
Same. Those three things + binge drinking. In my case, I think it's because I live uptown in a big city. Not sure if your environment is similar.
you are not the only one , in the university i study in , i,m the only one who doesn't eat in the restaurant , even if i eat i will only take some oranges ( in the winter ) or one egg hardly boiled in water but most of the time i avoid it because they use vegetable oils even in the white rice salad they put oil ,, so what i do is i don't interact with anyone , i just buy milk and take coffee with sugar with me and i eat this combo at 12 pm .Being health conscious and following a lifestyle based on Ray Peat's ideas seems to make it a bit difficult for me to interact and connect with people on a deeper level.

Hope you do have friends though. I'm always respectful towards what people choose to eat but often find myself being criticized (mainly by close relatives) about my food choices.you are not the only one , in the university i study in , i,m the only one who doesn't eat in the restaurant , even if i eat i will only take some oranges ( in the winter ) or one egg hardly boiled in water but most of the time i avoid it because they use vegetable oils even in the white rice salad they put oil ,, so what i do is i don't interact with anyone , i just buy milk and take coffee with sugar with me and i eat this combo at 12 pm .
yes but i just pass time with them a little , i enjoy walking alone than staying with them , they talk in subjects that i,m not interested in most of the time (lol).Hope you do have friends though.

Living the Peat lifestyle and having the powerful knowledge is like living in Middle Earth:
"You're a ring bearer Rosie, to bear a ring of power is to be alone"

If you have a boyfriend and he respects your food patterns, then I see no isolation or such a big problem, but I don't require a lot of socialization, just working (which I do surrounded by people that doesn't share but neither does need to share my feeding habits) and having a girlfriend or something similar works for me.Being health conscious and following a lifestyle based on Ray Peat's ideas seems to make it a bit difficult for me to interact and connect with people on a deeper level.
