It most certainly is a sin. Read this:

Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.
~Proverbs 18:1

All sound judgment and healthy doctrine comes through wisdom and counsel. We can't have that advice we so desperately need by going it alone. So you deny God himself when you isolate yourself.

So i will burn in hell because i dont like this cruel society? God gave me 100+ physical flaws + low iq + anti-social disorder which should be proof that he wants me to live in social isolation since people like me do not fit in the society. also i do have internet where i can talk with people, i have my family too, not sure that verse really is what you think it is. how do you explain prophets, saints etc who lived in social isolation?

It sounds to me like you have some damaging words that have been imprinted in your soul from someone in your past. Maybe a parent? An authority figure? You keep replaying that recording on your brain and have actually given it power over you by agreeing with it. I would say first thing is to identify that source and forgive them. They obviously didn't know what they were doing, or even if they did, either way, your door to freedom is opened by the key of forgiveness. Forgiveness doesn't let them off the hook, it lets YOU off the hook they have hung YOU on. Then if you really want to turn God loose to bless you, then YOU bless that person! It's the craziest thing but it works! Bless those who have said all manner of evil against you. Bless them that curse you. And it IS a curse. But Jesus took that curse when he hung on a tree. So by His death, by the shedding of His blood, and by His Resurrection, we can walk in freedom and newness of life. Begin to confess out loud all the promises and benefits of the Word of God. Speak deliverance and wholeness to your soul. Walk in the light and refuse darkness. And receive the Holy Spirit. Let him flush out the lies you've believed about yourself and teach you the truth about who you really are in God's eyes. I have a feeling you were destined for great things in God's divine plan and the enemy targeted you from childhood to get you off the course God had for you. God bless you as you discover who you really are in Him, my brother.

Well i heard cruel comments towards me from alot of people. Not just from 1 or 2 persons. People all over the internet and in real life keep telling me how boring i am, how weird i am, how ugly i am etc so it must be true.

Your situation is complicated, so let's cut through it to the chase. You are a social animal because you are human. It is not good for man to be alone. Isolation enhances your agitation. You need human companionship. You feel hideously ugly and you are tormented with self-consciousness and doubts about that - it cripples you.

It is true, as others have said, that you will do well to have a job and social contact. So let's be blunt: you need a job where people will not judge you based on your appearance, and where you can really do good things that touch peoples hearts, so they can see the goodness in you and appreciate you for that, without caring about your looks. You need social contact, without judgment.

There is a crying need for men exactly like you, and if you answer the call you will find happiness in working in schools for, and rehabilitation of, the blind. You are crippled, and you need people. They are even more crippled, and they desperately need people. They cannot see you, and will never judge you on your appearance, therefore, so you need never be self-conscious. And by giving yourself to work for them and with them, you will be doing the work of angels.

You may also very well find the love of your life, and it be utterly good and wholesome, and both of you find happiness.

So, therefore, go forth and get yourself schooled to work with the blind. Go down and volunteer now - start interacting with your fellow men and women now. You will have all of the human contact you could ever hope for - they are no different, they just cannot see and judge you. Then your looks will not matter, God will smile on you, and you will deal every day with people who love you and appreciate you for who you are.

That is what you should do.

Yeah i need a social life but i cant have it, thats the problem, no matter how hard i try i will still end up having no job, no friends and no gf/wife.

i dont feel, i know i am hideous ugly and low iq subhuman.

the best is a job with no people on it, just me,,,,i could accept that, or a job with only 1 or 2 other persons.

Stop it. Seriously, stop it. You're in Croatia. You're writing in English - in GOOD English. You do not have a low IQ. It's not true. Do not exaggerate your situation. You're not stupid. You're not subhuman.

As far as you've shown, you think you're hideously ugly, and you are very self-conscious about it, and you've been abused for it. But you want a social life.

I wasn't kidding: go work with the blind. They are human, just like you. They are no different than you, except that they cannot see, and they really do need help. So, you work with them, you're one flaw they cannot see, but they do see your heart and your help, and you make a living at that, and in the process, a whole community of people forms around you that like you for you - and who are not put off by your face because they cannot see it.

You can have a job if you go work with the blind. And friends. And, frankly, there are blind girls who are perfect in every other way, who will appreciate you, and who will never see your apparent flaw.

You'd be doing well by doing good. So go do that. Go look up facilities for the blind in your area, go volunteer, go find out what sort of work there is, and go learn those skills. God gave you some lemons? Make lemonade with them, and have all of the friends you could ever want, and a job, and maybe even love.

It's a no brainer.

It's the spirit of it. But people who live in social isolation do it for a time in order to restore their soul. They do not LIVE in isolation.

because people make fun of me all the time, people litterly die of laugh when they see me. we live in a society which cares very much about looks, its not eazy to be 1 of 10 on the look scale. i have zero % to get friends and a gf/wife and this kind of kills my desire to get a job and talk with people, i feel like i have nothing to look forward too.

So what? I had terrible acne when I was a younger guy. Terrible. People wouldn't look me in the eye, they would just stare in horror and disgust at my acne. It was terribly humiliating. Why was it humiliating? Because I was a vain, prideful, self-centered guy. If I hadn't been, I wouldn't have cared so intensely about how people were reacting to my appearance. There were other guys who had acne as bad as I did - worse even - but they didn't let their skin issues make them into hermits as mine did me. They just weren't as hung up, they weren't as vain, as I was and so could shrug off the looks of disgust they received.

People have literally died from laughing at you? Literally? Did anyone call an ambulance? Did you try to do CPR? How many people has this laughing killed, exactly? I'm being a bit facetious here because you're magnifying people's reactions in an attempt to justify your withdrawal from everyone. I recognize the tactic because I used it, too.

Look, I get it that people by-and-large are focused on the exterior. But not all. The very best women will look beneath the surface and see your heart and consider your character. Will they see a great man or a self-centered boy? Will they see a man who loves Christ or a man who loves himself? If you want to be dead certain never to attract the interest of the best women, be a self-pitying, withdrawn guy. That turns everyone off.

By the way, there are some things you can do to enhance your appearance. Get a decent, flattering haircut. Maybe different glasses would help. Get in the gym and beef up a bit. Wear clothes that are attractive.

No school. no job, no friends since i was 14. Never been with a women. Never talk to anyone. No internet friends. I only go out when its dark. I cant go out without hiding my body and face with a hoodie and cap.

I have therapists but its not helping.

The reason to why i am doing this is because i am 1 of 10 on the look scale and is very weird. I am too ashamed over myself to be part of the society. And people bully me all the time/make fun of me, in internet and also irl, so why should i even bother talking to people, get a job etc when i will be bullied even more? I have 0 % to be in a relationship with a women or getting a friend so its pointless for me.

I tried to fix my flaws, i have 100+ flaws, but nothing worked to fix my flaws.

I feel very bad, i have been depressed for 12 years. but i will not end my social isolation, i will keep living like this until i die.

So my question is how i deal with this sadness, i want to be happy with my life.

Is it a sin to want to keep being socially isolated? I have nothing to gain to have a social life.


Have faith and pray all day, make God your best friend.

You dont need this evil world any how.

Save your self for God.

my childhood was great. but things started to get tough when i was 14. others started to make fun of me.

i have been christian my whole life, but lately i have had doubts about which religion is the right one but i still pray to jesus everyday.
From this brief description I would guess you were traumatised by the bullying. Anxiety as a result of smething like that can affect you for life. I would recommend counselling of some sort to helo you overcome it. Chldren can be very cruel but adults should know better.

i am not in Croatia. What makes you say that lol.

Yeah english is not my first language, my english is very bad.

I do have low iq, i can not talk with people, i dont have the ability to get a friend.

There is some people who are hideously ugly, what makes you think i can not be one of them? I truly do have 100+ physical flaws. For sure i am hideously ugly when i have that many flaws. How do you explain alot of people calling me hideously ugly?

I am still abused.

Yes, i want a social life.

Dude getting a job with blind people is not eazy, you make it sound like its eazy and blind people will not be my friend, not possible since i lack the needed social skills.

Some people are laughing very hard when they see me.

Why would people bully me not be justifed to be live in social isolation my whole life? Getting bullied is terrible.

My heart and personality do not matter for any woman because i have no socials skills and no social status and my looks are really bad. Being kind is not enough. It does not matter how positive i am, positivity do not delete my laws, its my flaws that makes me forever alone, not my "attitude".

yeah i know i can improve my looks, i already tried that, i got from being 1 of 10 on the look scale to 1.1 of 10 on the look scale, lol. its over for me.

Actually, Nick Viduka childhood was experiencing depression and bullied at school and even attempted suicide. However, what helped has he eventually developed self-confidence and when he reached adulthood he became a public speaker. He is now married and has children.

It seems that you need to develop self-confidence.

I have had the same issue, however the way I handled it was healed from it through constant prayer. I was bullied pretty much throughout most of my time in schooling. People would call me out for my physical and mental flaws and call me all kinds of hurtful things. I think the worse part of it was that I couldn’t get away from it because I had to go to school, so it took a huge toll on my life.
After I left school I literally isolated myself in my room and always had an desire to have a social life with people but I did not want people to judge me by my looks or the way I talk. Then eventually I realized that the people that hurt me were miserable and probably didn’t have a stable life with nothing to look forward to. I think in some way by reminding myself that everyone is human and we all are in a spiritual battle it made me feel upset about what that person might be going through. (Ephesians 6:11-12) I broke my social fear by just saying hi to anyone I’ve come across. A simple nice gesture goes a long way. (John 13:34-35):relaxed:

I for one understand your depression and separation. As much as I never went through most of the things you went through, like bullying I did end up sinking into depression after my dad's death when I was 9 and went in and out of it for years. My family still thinks I dealt well with his death but I still have my episodes. I generally am not sociable and keep a very small number of people around.
Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

God is the one you should run to for He will always be there for you when the world has turned it's back on you.
And Psalm 16 is a Prayer of confidence that would really help you see what you could have if you just let go and let God.
We're constantly urged to cast our burdens to Jesus for He cares for us and for sure He loves and cares for you.
People will never be pleased and you need to realise that it is not your job to make others happy.. .if they don't like you then that is their problem but you need to rise up and go out there, try to come out of the literal darkness and into the light. There are so many people out there who would embrace you if you only gave them a chance.
Don't let the darkness of depression consume you. The fact that you're here alone shows that you can come out of isolation.. .seek the Lord's face and He will shine His light on your path.
You are destined for greater things!! :)

I have low iq. That cant be fixed. It has nothing to do with self-confidence.
