What video games are best if you want to make friends as a shy and awkward person...

What video games are best if you want to make friends as a shy and awkward person? I've tried MMOs but everyone is just playing with friends and doesn't want to interact much with strangers.

I know this game. It's called Going Outside.

Are you a girl?

Video games will just end up making you more isolated. I don't know how old you are, but if you're over 25 there's literally no point in trying to make friends.

I'm lonely as hell and want some friends to play video games with.

If you're shy and awkward you should focus on being less shy and less awkward instead of playing online games. There are plenty of books and resource online to help you stop being a socially awkward friendless loser.

Isn't reading books and using resources make you a bit of sociopath? Feels a bit dirty manipulating people to like you.

you're not manipulating them. learning how to socialize is something every human has to go through.
vermintide 2 can be fun. not sure if a lot of people are still playing but it's teambased and the community was pretty nice as far as i remember. try a discord server to find groups too.

Yes. Learning to socialize is good.
Learning ways to "make people like you by following stuff in a book" feels kinda dirty. Stuff like mimicking the person you're talking to or saying their names a lot. I notice this shit in real life and it creeps me out

Most people on discord are already in cliques from my experience.

I am more or less like you and I've given up trying to get friends. I just play and "hope" to get noticed but if someone genuinely starts tries talking to me I start sweating and leave

What games do you play, user?

>Learning ways to "make people like you by following stuff in a book" feels kinda dirty.
the examples you said are creepy but this sentence is nonsense applied to general stuff. stuff like smiling and laughing and not being grumpy and argumentative is also something that will "make people like you". and it also always depends on the delivery which you improve by practice.

You make sex jokes around your friends because they find them funny. You don't make those jokes around your grandma because she finds it offensive. Are you "being dirty" for not saying those jokes so your grandma likes you more?

I just play whatever singleplayer games with a story emphasis. I seldom play multiplayers since they make me feel "empty" for being a silent boring noname and I don't have many of them

Yeah I can relate to that. I've mostly been playing single player stuff as well. What have you been playing recently?

Yeah really, don't know why faggots keep recommending it.

>join server for game I like
>people already conversing
>everyone seems to know eachother, circlejerking nonstop
>leave server

Fucking sucks.

I don't have much mental energy to play a lot lately but I've been trying that LobCorp game that's being shilled here, it's cute in theory but a bit repetitive and edgy. How about you?

i was in a streamer discord. there was basically no conversing. people just pinged for a difficulty, usually a high one, went into voice chat and waited for whoever to join.

>vermintide 2 can be fun.
I've played for hundreds of hours.
People hardly ever talk even on Legend mode.

I'm kind of in a similar situation. I've been feeling really burnt out lately. Mostly been playing Grim Dawn with some BBCF and Rev2 training mode shenanigans here and there.

>What video games are best if you want to make friends as a shy and awkward person?
Few years too late for that I'm afraid.

What do you mean?

Vidya communities aren't places for making friends anymore given how hostile a lot of them have become. Not to mention you can get banned for saying just about anything.

That's kind of how it has always been. Well except for the getting banned part.

i just read a shit ton of 1930's literature

real humans are all shit people excerpt for my dad, he was pretty cool, I really miss you dad

Fuck I know exactly how you feel. My dad was too damn good for this world as well. That's what led him to an early grave in the end.

I know it’s not much, and I’m not in the same boat, but if you are into role play in ffxiv and aren’t super clingy I wouldn’t mind having a padawan so to speak, but you’d have to actually want to play the game on your own as well. Respond to this with a discord or email, it’s an open invitation. Whatever you decide for yourself user, I hope you can break out of your funk.

>if you're over 25 there's literally no point in trying to make friends.
fuck man im 23 and literally have 0 irl friends. this struck me.

IRL friends are overrated. Good online friends are unironically just as good.

don't. it's shit.
>play maplestory private server in 2016ish
>decide to once interact with someone else
>they're not immediately as terrible as randoms usually are
>he adds me to buddylist
>first thing he asks who mai waifu is
>log out quick
>server goes down 2 months later

Livestreaming helps a ton
If you want quick results then livestream popular roblox gamemodes and you'll get tons of views
eventually you'll break out of the shyness and work on the awkwardness as a result

I played FFXI on Nasomi server for a bit and had quite a few pleasant interactions with random people and I ended up being invited to a guild after I died somewhere and the guild owner happened to be walking by and revived me and escorted me to where I was trying to go. He even gave me some money to buy some starting armour. I ended up not playing anymore though partly because I shouldn't be procrastinating this much anyway and didn't want this to absorb my life but also because social interaction is scary, I feel kind of bad about it though. But my point is maybe just try some different MMOs if you want strangers to interact with you

I'm really burnt out on ffxiv but I appreciate the offer.

>go outside
>nobody shares my hobbies
>views are too politically incorrect

you don't open with your actual personality. it's a big stupid game everyone is in on for some reason, but you just get to know them, "feel them out" it's called. It's unnecessary and stupid, I agree, but you have to do it.

if only I wasn't fucking autistic

Good luck friend, I wish you all the best

Thanks user. You too.
