Antisocial Tips

1. Never leave your room. If you do this, there may be a chance of having to talk to people. You should keep a stockpile of food in your room and also leave the door closed AT ALL TIMES. As for classes, to hell with them! Everyone else on campus sleeps through the occasional class, why not skip all of them! As for the bathroom and shower situation, you'll have to work on your own. I'm still perfecting my method. If you're willing to sit in your own stink for weeks on end, or risk the wrath of Ana Campos by taking the screens out of your windows, be my guest. I think I'll stick to peeking out the door to see if anyone is outside and making a mad dash to the bathroom until something better comes along.
2. Another task that I have noticed people around this campus have ignored in their quest to achieve social unacceptability is that of showering. I personally do not condone this practice, but if it works for you GO FOR IT! And the best part about it is that you have most of #1 covered.
3. Don't make eye contact. Either keep your gaze glued to the ground, or on the clouds. This way, people will either think that you are on a mission, or you are in your own little world. Either way, they most likely won't want to attempt to get your attention. Just in case you do make eye contact there is a guaranteed way to get people to leave you alone. Glare. An icy stare to a stranger who casually smiles as you pass by will scare the hell out of them. Trust me, it's my tried and true method.
4. A sarcastic tone tends to make people not want to talk to you. I haven't tried this out yet at college, but it seems to work at home quite well. When asked a question, make it sound as if the person inquiring is asking the stupidest question you have ever heard. People you don't know will not be sure if you are kidding or not, and since humans are good at going from their first impressions, you will have people running to get away from you.
5. Commit random acts of violence. All right, I wouldn't ever do this, but it's a surefire way of getting people to sit up and notice that you aren't one to be messed with. It's what I like to call the "fear factor". You may want to ask my brother, Cody, about this. His e-mail address is [removed].
6. Form a close relationship with your computer. Name it. Talk to it. Make sure the person you are sharing your room with is around when you do this. Your roommate will soon notice and make sure to tell all of the people nearby just how strange you are, that way you don't have to break my first rule for being antisocial by leaving the room to show people how strange you are.
7. Neglect the task of cleaning your room. Leave clothes (dirty AND clean) lying everywhere, don't do dishes (this would require leaving the room), make sure the many revisions and copies of revisions of English and History papers are strewn about the floor. If you can make it two steps without stepping on something, your room may need a little more work. When you DO get the room messed to your satisfaction, not many people will want to come by because there won't be a place to sit.
8. Try to sound grumpy. For example, when met with a cheerful "Good Morning!" while washing your face in the bathroom (my bathroom method doesn't always work), mumble something about not wanting to hear about it then refer to #3.
9. If #8 does not work, take a vow of silence. That way people who know you will not bother you with mundane news of their day because they will know that you won't answer them.
10. I realized that the less space there is in your room, the less people will want to visit. My roommate and I had our room set up in an L shape that only allowed about 16 square feet of room. After the furniture was moved, I noticed that there was a considerable drop in the amount of people who came to visit second semester.
