do philosophy students after graduating become anti social, or am i the only one.?

i know what you mean. i also took subjects in philosophy. after learning philosophy, the whole world seems to be different. you have a feeling of detachment and a sense of not being satisfied with everything around you because you yearn for the truth or anything that is greater than anyone could offer you. friends/people seem to be less interesting than before because they do not understand you, or have not experience greater knowledge that you have acquired. So in a way, maybe we are just longing for someone who understand us or have the same way of thinking. sometimes i think would it be better if we remained inside that 'bubble', not seeing the way we see the world now? i guess in some degree yes, however is that really living the life as we should?

cheer up:-) life should be faced with an optimistic view. there must be someone out there who would understand you the way you view life.

I also had the same experience in my life, when I started philosophizing all things around me. I felt some sort of alienation from the society and from my own self, when there arose a number of questions that seemed to be impossible to get answered. People laughed at me for the unnatural curiosity in the meaning of things and for the strange questions that not normally asked by the common man. This discomfort in the initial stage made me think and read more to attain a holistic and dynamic understanding of Being. In fact, this struggle continued for more than three years. During this time, I faced instability in choice and behavior. I was just disturbed by the doubts.

After long years of analysis and personal contemplation, I started to attain stability which was quite unbelievable. Then I realized, wisdom leads to bliss. So, if you ask good questions, you will get good answers.

I think there's more. If you feel you become more detached from people when you actually want to, it could be more like depression instead of your new knowledge. Unless you adopted the new attitude that the philosopher should be detached from people and fun like a monk. But a philosopher is not a monk.

Also I'm thinking in taking Philosophy in College. Can you help me?

The deeper one studies philosophy the more difficult it is to find "meaning", to "care," to "believe in something," or "to have faith," because one has become so good at undermining, critiquing and criticizing things.

We must all struggle, fight, and conquer those things that would keep hope from growing. It is easy to become nihilistic, solopsistic, and anti-social. It takes work--and in my opinion, love--to hold onto things and tell stories even though we already know that they are incomplete, faulty, invalid and imperfect. We must stay optomistic because the world is set to sell us pessimistic ALL the time; The important thing is not to BUY it.

Your starting to see that their is a whole lot more to life then the everyday stuff that your friends do. I don't think it's depression, it's that you need friends that have a higher level of thinking. The friends you have now, you will find boring because your consciousness is changing and that's a good thing. Keep studying because we are always at the beginning.
