Goddammit, I want friends

>lost contact with the few guys I talked during high school
>every class in uni has different people and no breaks, so I just listen to the teacher and leave
Having social anxiety doesn't help either

What if all the people who don't have friends become friends with each other? Do you guys think that could work?

I've had to move 5 times in the last eight years, friends are long gone. As an adult it's just way harder to make friends unfortunately...i miss it :(

How does one do that without friends?

Probably not, from what I can tell, people of the type "have no friends" do a lot better with similar minded people who do have friends. If you have a group of "no friends" people trying to become friends, it usually (not always) doesn't work.

Develop hobbies, interests and skills.
With the internet this stuff is easy.

I didn’t go to college, took a vocational job in IT and have few friends and a couple of acquaintances I have drinks with on the weekend. No one cares about your academic achievements.
THe problem is you don’t make yourself interesting to be around. I got bored reading your post.
I’ve seen plenty of ugly fucks with friends and even hrs. You’re just on a pity party. Pick yourself up, and others will enjoy your company if you’re a treat to be around
Have you attended any after school events? Hit the local college bars? Looked up in meetups for events that interest you?

This , except from the "hurt" part. I like to be alone.

>have one friend
>tolerate hanging around him because I know I'm important to him
>honestly find him really irritating sometimes and would prefer to be alone most of the time
>don't want to hurt his feelings

But that's not really interesting. You're still just that lone weirdo who doesn't know how to talk to people? What does it matter if I can draw poorly or have a novice understanding of Greco-Persian history? How's that relevant or even interesting to anyone else?

It's a double-edged sword, user. You could have friends and then fuck it all up because you start to realize they are terrible people to be around who only like current fads and suck you dry with their necromancy to keep the dying friendship alive. That's my life right now. If you want friends, find one-- ONE that you get along with on a deep level. All it takes is one. You can do it, buddy.

It’s he fucking internet. There’s literally someone for anyone. If fucking antivaxxers and flat earth era can unite, you can find someone with your interests. Go to the drawing board and talk to people there, Yea Forums is a shithole.

this user gets it.

I joined a ninjitsu dojo. It is goofy and dumb, but the other people in it are good people and friendly. Its really helped my depression.

Well duh, I've been alone for 15 years. If course I'm depressed. Saying "stop being sad" doesn't really help.

Even if you had friends it's not likely that you'd ever have this "brotherhood" level of friendship. This is all I'd ever wanted and instead I just got hanging out occasionally until you eventually drift apart.

Being a shit artist or novice in some obscure historical area is better than literally nothing at all. Plus there are always people out there who are also into these weird niches as well.

Go on a board for your interests. Not fucking/v/. Talk to people there. Look on meetups.com for events that match your interests. They even host swingers and beam there. I’m sure you’ll find something you fucking like.

How do you think?

I've been trying, finding a meet up and actually connecting aren't really the same. I literally dont know what normal people even talk about, how they even approach each other.

I'll be your friend anons

No it doesn't. You can browse Yea Forums and not be a shut-in loser, you know.

i play games with one neet friend daily cuz im borderline neet since i just graduated college, i pretty much left all my college friends to go home so i pretty much have no friends that i come into physical contact with anymore

You have two options: go or don't go. You just have to do it man, there's no other option. If it's based around an activity or hobby conversation starts naturally once you get into it.

This shit takes time, you can't expect to walk up to someone and be best friends right away. You find a group that shares your interests and then do that for a while, it comes with time.

What kind of stuff do you like to draw user? We can draw badly together!

I don't have any friends either.

Anything. Just ask about what they watched, played, what did they on the weekend, what they’re looking forward to.

This is wild. I did not know people like this actually existed.

Ugly, stupid, pretty much neet.

a girl wanted me to smoke weed with her but that sounds pretty uncomfortable so i refused. she later gave me an edible in class and i got fucked up for two days

I'm graduating next year so I'm worried about that happening.

This guy has friends

Honestly sounds like you're terrible company. You're gonna bitch about people not being open-minded right after you said you can't be friends with people based on TV shows and other irrelevant shit.

Be fucking honest with yourself. The problem is that no one wants to be friends with you, not the other way around.

You could’ve hung out and drank a few beers while she smoked. I don’t smoke myself but a friend of mine does. When we hang out that’s what we do. I drink, he does his thing.

>two days
Is that how intense edibles are?

>It’s he fucking internet
Not him but that's not the issue. I have plenty of friends online, it's the real world that I don't. I work in an office full of people I get along with but don't feel that social connection of wanting to spend the weekend with because they all have all have no interest in most of my hobbies. I'm the youngest person here and they're all married with children in their late 30s. None of them give a shit about computers, vidya, weebshit and such. The closest I've gotten is having a lengthy chat about cooking but that's it.
As someone who's working and not studying, where do I go to make friends?

Whenever I do go it's either silent or people are kind of cliqued off with their own conversations.
I dont expect to bffs. I can't even get to the fs portion.

You've let this place seep into your mind where you think you're above everyone and anyone. Nobody wants to sit and have heavily intellectual convos about things 24/7. Lighten up and just enjoy people's company. You can't go around calling someone a faggot IRL from differentiating opinions because your pussy ass does it on Yea Forums.

Everyone has their pros and cons.

this

Well, your options are simple, keep trying or live an empty life without the things that make it meaningful.

you literally just talk about meaningless stuff like shows or music and if the other person is meant to connect with you, the conversation will eventually flow naturally. Starting any sort of social interaction is awful, I get you, but its how most people, if not everyone bonds. It sounds stupid but thats just how society works

>where do I go to make friends?
Develop hobbies that require you to interact with other people, its that or try to strike up conversation at the urinals.

I mostly get caught in the "studying" rut so boxes and hastily done figure drawings. Ocassionally doodle poorly drawn tomboys.

Is that literally your only hobbies/ cartoons and video games? There’s nothing else about yourself worth discussing and exploring? If so, now you know where your change must be done. Not saying you neeed to stop your current hobbies, but add something else to it, hopefully an outside activity. Otherwise your life will become stagnant and depression will worsen.

I play vidya 2-3 hours a day, but also spend time with my gf, friends and family. I’d be fucked if I let vidya rule my life.

i wasnt high perse for those two days, but i felt super out of it and my short term memory was fucky. i heard its a first timer thing more than anything

anyone in England?

>hey, do you guys mind if I join in?
They're not going to say no, guaranteed. I'm a huge introvert and get really nervous about social situations with people I don't know but it's kind of like cold water, you just jump in.

Yeah, the second day is the hangover where your brain is still a bit fucked.

I have a few old friends that I chat with online every once in a while, but no one left I really hang out with.

Comes with being a depressive shut-in living in the absolute middle of nowhere while working a dead-end job with no peers.

I got invited over the weekend to a get together, only knew 3 people there out of 12-14. Heard someone discussing Chernobyl on hbo and I joined convo since it’s a damn good show. Conversation moved on to the actual disaster, then to traveling the location, to talking about traveling and other areas to visit. Conversation flows naturally if you let it take its own route. Trying to force something out of someone not interested will never work.

I don't like friends because two reasons:
-I like to expend more time alone
-I don't care about what others do

Sometimes I'd like to talk to people about what i've done or talk about stuff that others might know about but for that, I have Yea Forums and for me it's more than enough.

It’s incredibly easy to get to that point honestly, last year I went out with mates almost every weekend, now they have gf’s and a job (although I have a job as well) and I haven’t seen any of them in over a year now.

If you don't have a single friend then you gotta improve as a person. But be careful. If you're too desperate to find them you'll end up getting involved with shitty people and ignoring red flags just to have companionship.

if you want friends stop posting on Yea Forums

Keep telling yourself that, chap.

Same, Asuka is shit tho.

>I got invited
That sounds alien

Literally me, except I don’t have a minimum wage job, but almost all my friends have left me.

You'll be able to lie to yourself for a while. It might be a few months, even years, but eventually you won't be able to keep up this illusion. The longer it takes, the more it'll hurt when you realise what you've done.

Just tell him about it dude, it will be worth it. He'll stop doing that stuff and you'll be fine hanging around with him again. If he can't stand your complain, then consider him as a pussy and not as a good friend, why?, because a good friend would understand how do you feel towards him and won't bitch around about it.

What's stopping you from going to uni?
