Reporting.
No friends at all - for that matter, no human relations. I have a family (I live with them), but I don't particularly enjoy their company, and would prefer to move out, should the means arise (doubtfully).
It's been like this most of my life. I had 'friends' in high school - really, just a bunch of other losers who hung out to not feel so lonely, but who did not much care for each other -, but after that, nothing. I made no friends in university - merely some acquaintances. I remember being very lonely all the two years I was in university. And now, I don't even have acquaintances. Even at work, I don't talk to anyone.

Fuck off
>>24623629
Not really. He's in a rough place right now, just as I am.
>>24623504
my whole life. why is this?
>>24623644
Why don't you talk to anyone, since it's a conscious choice you're making?
>>24623644
This is pretty much my situation, only I'm still in uni and haven't even made any acquaintances
There's no hope for us
I can't even make Internet friends
>>24623595
well looks like you'll just have to go to literally any bar, party or social gathering and stand around doing nothing while for dozens of people to try to fuck you. must be hard
>>24623678
What's the point when nobody likes you as much as you like them?
They never value the friendship even if you put your all into it. You could stop taking to them and they wouldn't even notice, yet if they do the same you have a panic attack
>>24623678
It's not a conscious choice I'm making. I'm simply not a social person - I'm anti-social, shy, insecure. Another reason is that I tend to bore most people (and they tend to bore me) because our differences in interest are quite significant. In other words, even if I managed to get over my insecurity and shyness, they'd still be normalfags, and we would never get anywhere. It's not conscious, don't mistake me for some normie.
>>24623691
Ah-h-h, internet 'friends'. I had an internet bf, who said he loved me and was going to come to live in my city - he left me. All the other internet 'friends' simply stopped replying after some time.
>>24623504
It happens to me in Skype, and I always get the feeling that they don't want to talk to me and that I'm annoying them.
>tfw you put so much hopes and energy into new friendships just to be ignored when their friends join.
>>24623504
you really need to let go of those people. I did a little experiment and didn't initiate contact. Never heard from them for a whole year so I deleted their contact info.
>>24623432
speak to 2 people on facebook, used to be friends with them back at school/work but not seen them outside those settings in over a year.
Not sure if they count anymore?
>>24623644
I'm like this too. Always have been. It's pretty alright to feel secured in my own little bubble and knowing that it's just not accessible to very many people. I've sort of accepted it by now.
Unless they're the perfect type to be able to be with me, it just won't work out. Normies think this is mostly out of resentment but it's not. It's simply too rare to have a relationship with anyone when you enjoy doing things in your room a majority of the time.

No friends by choice. Better be alone than with normies.
>>24623777
Are you gay or a roastie?
>>24623830
This is a terrible thing to realize. I've done exactly that and yeah, nobody ever starts up with a "hi" or something as simple as that. I wonder what the problem is? why can't someone just say hi to me?
>>24623902
A homosexual.
>>24623905
Because you're a secondary friend to them. If they have a topic they want to talk to someone about, they have primary fiends that they'll message. That's why they don't message you
>>24623432
>sometimes hung out with people when younger
>never really knew them as a person or made a deeper connection
>just convenient people to be around who didn't mind me being around
>older now
>only time spent with other people is going to do other things because no one wants to go alone
>still no real friends
>>24623753
>What's the point when nobody likes you as much as you like them?
Isn't this just an assumption? The only thing stopping you from making and keeping friends... is you, my friend. In the same vein, people may expect you to talk to them first rather than the other way around. There's little risk in talking to them first, so why not take that chance?
>>24623777
>It's not conscious
>anti-social, shy, insecure
But it is conscious. I'm telling you this right now - you have control over all of your emotions, and your response to them. You can choose to keep being anti-social, insecure, etc. or you can choose, right in this instant, to disregard all of those negative, shitty feelings telling you you can't. Because you can, because you have the WILL to. Again, the only thing stopping any of you from socializing is you.
In fact, let's use the guy you posted as an example. Gainsbourg was insecure as fuck and actually quite shy, despite his persona (this makes me sound like I know him personally, whatever). Do you think he would've had half as much success as he had if he constantly made excuses for not socializing?
Also,
>our differences in interest are quite significant.
Find people with the same interests. It sounds glib as fuck, but it's true. Maybe you won't find it right away, but eventually you'll stumble upon someone who clicks with you.
That's my spiel for today. Really, this applies to most things. Don't keep making excuses for yourself.
Maybe I should make a thread about this but I feel like it fits this thread's topic.
Anyone here really slow when it comes to speaking?
I feel like people who have gone all their lives speaking to other people can express themselves clearly and quickly with few mistakes. I have to think a bit before I can speak and try to formulate the whole thing and I can tell this makes me seem relaxed and at the same time makes normies pretty agitated because they want me to just 'spit it out' and so that gives them another chink to stab at
>>24624161
You sound like a normalfag, for lack of a better more 'polite' term.
>>24624287
thank you for using normalfag instead of "normie"
>>24624178
Same. I speak somewhat lethargically and slow, and stumble on my words to boot. And then at times my mind goes blank and I can't even remember what I was trying to say. That's when I am trying my hardest not to be a total sperg, which when that happens its like above except I'm speaking even more sloppier.
>>24623830
Do what this anon says. It really hurts after a while when you realize you meant nothing to these people, but now you will be able to move on.
I tried it and only heard back from one friend after a few months. We had been friends since we were 6, so it felt good that he still cared.
who /one friend/ here?
>tfw he knows you don't have many friends
>he knows you're really sensitive
>tells me that I'm just like him and that people love him
>so if I just " get out of my shell " people would love me too
normies desu
>>24623830
I did this last year and haven't had friends since.
What now? I'm lonely as fuck.
>>24625590
Now you wait for friendship that will never come or give up on society as a whole like I did
>>24625590
Welcome to loneliness, anon. I did it 3 years ago and have been unable to make a friend since.
I have a group of friends on Skype. We have known each other for 7 years now, we are always the same 5-6 guys.
It's clearly getting stagnant, but the group still exist because everyone is a lonely faggot.
We hurt each other over trivial shit almost daily, but rarely anyone gets actually offended.
It's kind of sad desu.
How do you make friends on the modern internet?
Lets try to be friends . What do you like?
>have lost contact with all your groups of online friends over the years
They wouldn't have been my friends in real life, anyway...
>>24623504
same desu
it's like whatever though, not sure if i would call it one sided
>>24623540
I'm the same way. It's not that I dont like the people I interact with. Most of the time it feels that by initiating contact I'm annoying them or making them feel obligated to do something for me, which isn't what I want. Everyone I interact with always seems like they'd rather be doing something else or hanging out with someone else, or that I should be grateful that they've bothered to talk to me. So I don't bother to reach out unless they do it.
Of course the other aspect of it is that I don't actually do anything so I wouldn't want to embarrass myself by inviting someone over just to watch tv or listen to music.
