Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Me
Has anyone managed to break out of this habit? I want to be more social, communal, but it seems to go against my natural proclivities
Sometimes it can be easier to make peace with yourself for who you are than struggle to be someone others would want to be around. Just do things that bring joy in your life and you may end up with others who share your same values.
I'm already doing nothing all day.
This is probably a strange suggestion, but have you tried using Fear? I've noticed it's somewhat easier to be social after consuming any kind of scary content.
Oh that is a great and altogether unique suggestion, thanks!
Might be challenging to scare myself before going to the morning market, but maybe for evening hangouts
It's because people are being conditioned to be hostile to each other. You're suffering because of this attack of connectedness, not because of anything you're doing wrong.
Could be both
Is very likely both
