>>335661459
I know that feel all to well
I never had friends to begin with
>>335661459
Guess they weren't your real friends then. The only friends you have are us, OP. Fuck you.
>>335661746
Uh, you don't get to be friends
>Moved on
If you mean by all their freshman/sophomore girlfriends broke up with them as they created their own boys club and drew sides like highschoolers did, sure.
Glad I'm high functioning autistic enough to not have had a girlfriend like they did.
Irony is, their girls basically hang with us now while theyspend the most time playing Smash and Mario Kart on their Wii Us and MTG decks they all bought together, and after all their relationships ended, spend all their time at the campus Smash club and MMA club.Nintenyearold will think I'm b8ing, but it's true. Engineering college does weird shit to people.
>>335661459
I feel ya bro. We will always have each other, and this shitty, shitty board.

>Because mechanical engineers are nerds
ftfy
>>335661459
If anything I've pulled them all down to my level
I don't even know what real friends are supposed to be like
The moment I didn't mandatorily have to spend time with other people I stopped giving a shit about them and I can only assume they felt the same about me
That's fine though, I'm a very boring person and I wouldn't wish my presence upon them
>>335661839
But I wanted to be therefor you ;_;
>>335661459
I would say I 'moved on' from my old friends, but I didn't actually go anywhere. I stagnated, but also left them rather than them leaving me. Maybe I just don't feel like I deserve friends. I don't have a job, and no one wants me. I've had one girlfriend ever and it destroyed me and completely changed who I am, even six years on I'm still lamenting the whole thing daily.
What the fuck even am I.
>>335661459
I moved away from all my friends because I was too ashamed.
>>335662628
Now's not the time for homoeroticism, anon.That comes later
>>335661459
I remember those same friends have abysmally bad taste so never gave a fuck since you were already forced to make subpar relationships in other games.

How do I find friends
Why are we here? Just to suffer?
>>335663078
Too ashamed anon?
>>335664557
>How do I find friends
Really depends on your situation. Some people find friends at their colleges or universities by going to interest clubs or whatever. Some go to a local game shop to participate in table top games and card games. Not saying it's the only way, but starting off with a common interest, whatever it is, and participating in said interest helps start something.
>>335664903
>that feel when that speech happened almost immediately in the actual game and had absolutely no weight to it
everything is awful
>>335661459
At least you had friends, faggot.
>>335662420
This pretty much sums it up for me. I only "cared" when I was in class, and even then it was feigning interest. As soon as I got home, nobody there mattered.
Once I graduated, none of them had anything to do with me and the same goes for me. I see people occasionally, and you say hello and whatnot, but after that you both go finish whatever you were doing and it stops being relevant.
>>335664903
We were put here on this earth, put here to feel joy

>tfw I booked my first ever appointment with a psychologist for the next week
What should I expect? What usually goes down in these sessions?
>>335665951
Expect to be asked a lot of unusual questions.
>>335665931
Yeah, 'Letter From the Lost Days'
>>335665951
>psychologist
fucking lmao
Psychology is a meme.
Go to a psychiatrist if you need help.
>>335666017
Like what?
>>335666095
"How do you feel right now? How do you feel when you do this and that? What makes you feel that way?"
>>335666054
You see a psychiatrist if you want pills to fake help. They're the real meme.
>>335666054
I don't wanna drug myself up, thank you very much.
>>335665951
>psychologist
Fuck sakes why. That shit is such a meme.
>>335666054
Psychiatrist detected. Go shill your pill-selling scheme somewhere else.
Take the hint, manchild.
Time to grow up.
>>335665951
i couldnt take it. i just can't trust a complete stranger like that, so i never went back. not to mention the advice he gave me i'd already worked out about the situation.
>>335666295
>>335666186
>>335666179
You do know that psychiatrists are real doctors while psychologists are basically liberal arts majors, right?
>>335666392
Psychiatrists are nothing but official drug dealers.
>>335666392
And psychiatrists are literally modern snake oil sellers, but the snake oil of today is much, MUCH more dangerous.

>>335666472

Whatever.
I'll just take my xanax and keep enjoying life.
Have fun answering stupid questions like "who is anon?"
>>335666816
>prefers being a junkie over having a little self-exploring conversation
Let me guess, you're American, right?
>>335666695
You just need to subject yourself to social situations, like go out of your way to get into some really awkward shit where you know you're gonna sperg out. Eventually you just get better at it, and in turn you get happier.
I shit you not the endorphin rush is amazing, like you just crawled out of the mud and conquered a nation. Normies have no idea how good they have it.
>>335666621
Nice job anon
Making new friends isn't much harder either, it just takes bit more effort at the start.
Most normies play vidya these days too.
>>335661459
Jokes on you, I've never failed a paper and in my final year of engineering.
If anything, i'll be the first to jettison away from this dump.:(I'll probably still be playing vidya and watching animu for quite a while.
>>335666621
I want to believe we'll all make it but lately i've been getting less and less sure
>>335667119

Lol no one ever leaves 4chan bruh your here until you die.
>>335666621

>tfw I'd rathernumb my painhave fun playing vidya than wasting my time pretending to give a fuck about others
I don't need many friends, I just wish the two I still have shared my manchild tastes like Pokémon and Yugioh...
It only hurts a little.
>>335667523
I know that.
That doesn't magically grow jobs in the city I live in.
>>335667484
>>335667523
I was thinking...
The current demographic for the site mostly includes males around the ages of 18-25, right?
Well, was it always like that? Is the age demographic remaining steady and the userbase gets refreshed ever so often? Or are the same guys that were here since the early days still here?
I mean, has anyone broken the cycle? What happens after you get "too old" for 4chan? What happens to all the depressed NEETs? Do they eventually change? Do they an hero?
I am 23, and I've been here on this site for over 7 years, and honestly, I'm on my edge; I'm desperate. I am sure many of you are too, but what about the ones that were in such a situation 5 or 10 years ago?
>>335668047
>Well, was it always like that? Is the age demographic remaining steady and the userbase gets refreshed ever so often? Or are the same guys that were here since the early days still here?
I'd say the same guys were here since the very beginning.
You can tell were getting older because of the shift in 4chan humour.
Memes from back in the day like "a winrar is you", "I'm a chargin mah lazor", advice dog, and boxxy. Would never fly today if they were brand new.
>>335661459
>i've moved on from vidya
>can never quit anime
I tried my best, but it's stuck with me forever. Vidya is just a drag now, but I can always enjoy cute girls doing cute things.
>>335668406
So, 4chan is a collective of sad teenage outsiders that all grew and evolved together?
This is as sad as it is sweet. I hate and love you guys.
Can't help but wonder though, what will happen in the future? Since we have no previous cases to examine and learn from, we just delve into the unknown. And the future just seems bleak to me tbqh.
>>335666621
How do you get a genuine interest in other people?
I haven't cared about anything really since I turned 17, not in an edgy way but a "my brain is broken and the part that makes me feel good for socializing and doing accomplishments doesn't work anymore" kind of deal
21 now pls I want off mr bones wild ride
>>335668697
I going to be laughing as we watch more and more funposting involving kids in the next 20 years.
Travel greentexts will be hilarious too. From anons who moved overseas. We already have a few from some anons who have done JET, but travel greentexts from permanent settlers will be gold.
>>335668926
>in the next 20 years
Will we, the older ones, really survive that long though?
>>335668697
More like 4chan won't even be around or it will be in such a neutered state that it will be but a shadow of its former self, unfit to even call itself a chan.
>>335669112
Well if there is one thing that is certain is that you won't be making it that far you dumb frogposter. The future could do with less things like yourself.
>>335669112
As long as you weigh less than 200kg, you should be fine anon.
>>335669223
Ahahaha
Frogposter BTFO
>>335669259
I think you mean 100. 200 is way too heavy for anyone to survive.
>>335669223
>More like 4chan won't even be around or it will be in such a neutered state that it will be but a shadow of its former self, unfit to even call itself a chan.
Yeah I know. I kinda wish for this day to come to be honest. I've been wishing for that for years now. But at the same time I don't want it to die. But in any case, even if 4chan dies, people will probably just migrate. That will be a huge blow to our collective numbers, sure, we will all be separated to many different imageboards, but we'll still be around. Probably.
>dumb frogposter
Nigga chill.

But yeah, now that the cat's out of the bag. You're right.

No man, not even ironically. Just no.

>>335668771
You just gotta keep an extremely open mind. Like an uncomfortably open mind. And once again you just have to force yourself to do it. Try making smalltalk more, get better at eye contact, that kind of shit. It takes a long fucking time but you can chip away at that shit but I guarantee you'll improve.
Socializing is a skill, always remember that, it doesn't come naturally to anyone. You learn to socialize and you can learn to be more happy, nothing feels better than love baby.
>>335670592
I can think of one thing that feels better than love:complete isolation, love is a top fucking meme that invariably results in nothing but lifelong, painful suffering
>>335670592
Jokes on you fag I've never been in love.
>>335670592
I'm just such an autist though, it's painfully obvious I don't give a shit about small talk when I try to have a conversion
>>335665406
I wasn't ready for Kaiji feels.
>>335670889
This. Even though I've had some relationships I've never felt "love". Just some affection and enjoyment from having someone sleeping next to me.
>>335661459
I actually moved on from my friends
>>335671345
I actually fight for my friends
>>335668047
"you're here forever" is not a joke anon.
>>335665406
Everyones lives are meaningless, some just do what they want with their lives, others do what others want them to do with their lives.

>>335671761
Epitome of Human Trash
>>335671593
Yeah, but that was written before we, as a collective group of depressed anons, grew up to this age. This feels like the endgame man.
>>335666621
fucking normies, get off my board
