Around 12 years old. Never had playdates because my mom thought they were a waste of time, didn't have proper hygiene because I didn't know how to wash myself so I repulsed everyone, and spent all my time playing runescape.

My dad also told me girls were a waste of time and a distraction from my studies, so I never even considered making female friends until I was 18.

>>
Middle school age.
>>
>>25411499
From the very beginning. I was the class bully target in kindergarten because I was effeminate and only had female friends

In elementary school I was an annoying shit to everyone else so I had no friends

By middle school I had no social skills

By highschool I was a recluse and was too afraid to say anything out of fear that I would say something stupid or cringeworthy

It's the same in University. I'm fucking terrified of professors and I'm afraid if I say something stupid or cringeworthy I'll end up being mentioned on those stupid university confession pages

2nd grade, when I was mocked for my looks and every kid just kept bragging about their first kiss
>>
It started in pre-school. My dad owned the school so I was treated differently by the staff. When my dad got sick and decided to sell the school the teachers got angry and started taking it out on me.

A bit in elementary school. My dad died when I was in kindergarden and it took me a long time to realize and deal with what had happened. This coupled with my ADHD made me this ball of energy that all the kids found annoying. I had one friend.

In middle school I had a better group of friends and became kind of a class clown. I also never washed my hair and wore the same jacket every single day so some people were turned off by that. A lot also thought I was annoying like in elementary so they didn't like me either.

In high school I was kicked out of the program my friends went to because I didn't meet the math requirement and was sent to a giant high school where I knew no one. I slipped into a giant depression that lasted my entire high school career. I never made any friends.

Now I'm in college and am starting to catch up. I still have no friends but I'm getting medication for my ADHD and anxiety to help me start talking to people. I'm hopeful for 2016.

When I started high school
>>
>>25411499
Right about 5th grade. I went to a new school for half a year, had a bit of trouble fitting in but the problem was that my homeroom teacher literally destroyed me. He conditioned the whole class to hate me.
After half a year I moved back to the old school, but both the people I knew were indifferent to me and I was mentally scared.

Until highschool I never really found any friends. I talked to a literal autist, but a smart autist, not a dumb one.
It didn't help that my basically one and only friend left had found some fat jew looking fag and started to ignore me. The last we completely ignored each other's existence.

At highschool I was still a loner, but I could fit in in a group of pretty normally even high ranking in social status. Didn't really care about them, it was more of a friendship by deal sort of thing.

I moved so much during my childhood that I never had chance. I lived in 8 different states(military family) by the time I graduated HS. By the time I got to middle school I had pretty much given up on socializing and making meaningful friiendships because I knew I would just be moving in 2 years anyway. I had more/better friends on WoW and Counter-Strike during my adolescent/teen years than I did in real life. No matter how many times I moved, they would always be waiting in ventrilo for me.

When I was 13 in middle school. It wasn't a gradual process or anything, I had a strong religious upbringing and was the youngest son, living in the shadow of 2 older brothers who were rebellious and charismatic. I was always babied in elementary school and fed fantasies like being a good boy will earn me the affection of a maiden and succes.

Then when I entered middle school school all I witnessed were young girls being whores, guys smoking weed and teenagers having pre-marital sex. It was pretty culture shock and my world being shattered. Couple this with poor social skills and the blue prints for a robot like me were ready to be used. Usually this is where indoctrinated kids start to become massive emo's or whores but I just kept to myself simply bottling up all the shit I went through. Now I am just a lost man who can't believe anything anymore. I feel so fucking drained.

I seem to alternate between being a friendless loser and having a social life, although with no dates of gas. Had friends most of elementary school, lost them when I went to middle school -- suddenly they were too cool for me. Began to form a new friend group in around the 7th grade, lasted with some additions until the 12th grade, when they began going to parties, hooking up with girls, and were again too cool for me. Didn't go to prom. Friends with roommates first semester of college, then we fell out. Alone my entire sophomore year. Lived with people my junior year, and had friends and drank a lot with them. They then graduated, moved on, or just had enough of me. Am alone again.

I don't really remember, but I think it started in kindergarten at the age of 4-5. I was pretty much ostracized then and I left it pretty early during the first year (kindergarten here lasts for 3 years and was semi-compulsory). Elementary school wasn't better either and later it got even worse.

Seasonal depression kicked in bad for the first time and I didn't know what was going on or how to deal with it.

Then I took the red pill and I've been mostly content in my solitude since then.

Around the start of middle school, so 10 or 11. That was when it became possible to "do things wrong" socially. I ended up being the third wheel to the nerd group, who didn't really bully me but instead made it obvious that I was the tag-along, not a real friend. I still don't understand socializing, and the anxiety from failed attempts has started taking a toll on my mental health.

If I had to say I guess I would go with as far back as 5, I've always been different from everyone else.
Although I am closer now to having the things they have then I have ever been before, I imagine that by the time I am 20 I will be completely indistinguishable from a normie unless I reveal myself.

In the mean time I am just going to work on getting /fit/, educating myself and taking my classes seriously, and trying to "naturally" make friends and develop a social life/network.

I never really tried in the past so I guess I have to just start.

Autism Spectrum shit and some OCD tendencies.

I have some friends, but not many. And we're all a little iffy when it comes to social situations.


I do a lot of weird shit when I'm on my own. Like making weird sound effects, noises, imagining I'm characters from animes and movies, even playing with some old toys I still have and hide to help with imagining those animes and movies.
I'm a pretty fucked up person desu. But I don't like this in public, I have control of it public. But eventually it makes me agitated not to be able to do these weird things after awhile.


btw, I'm 21 and I've done these things since I was in kindergarten.

I had a girl I really liked and we were best friends. We spent every break together until a drunk driver killed her.

I pretty much stopped caring about everything. Never had any friends since and started avoiding all other humans as much as possible.
>>
>>25411734
Fucking hell man, you're almost me. Though, I went to a small private school and actually had friends in elementary school.

I went to a public school for middle school though and knew no one and had no idea how to interact with anyone so I turned into an annoying retard for attention.

In highschool I got another semi-fresh start since I went to a votech that pulled from 7 surrounding schools. Most people were new to me and I decided to be quiet as fuck most of the time. Made a few friends but I was always the target of jokes and shit. And then I had an incident with a girl in front of friends where I turned tomato-red as I was helping her with math homework and I was sitting like 2 feet from her I was so nervous. So they didn't let me down about that.

And then college I didnt know anyone and I turned super quiet and recluse. Never talked to a girl in my 4 years there. Didn't make any friends. I''m pretty fucked now for the most part

I know that feel, it just feels good to do it, sometimes I try to imitate morse code just because I think it sounds cool, and will also try to hum songs and musical tracks, but it doesnt sound much like music but rather various pitches of noise that might sound like a hum or a trumpet or who knows

11.

That was when the bullying started. Before that I'd been full normie with lots of friends, but somewhere around that time, the circle of kid who were cool with me slowly started to shrink and the list of kids who'd take opportunities to hurt me slowly started to grow.

By the time I was 14 it was basically game over. I had one friend and he was in the same boat as me - a fellow recluse, we stuck together because it was the only way we had a chance of avoiding daily beatings.

At 19 I was in college and I thought I had fixed things. I had friends again, nobody picked on me. What I didn't realize is that I was in a whole class full of rejects like me. They were my people.

I'm 28 now. Of all the guys I knew in college, only one of them has a girl. The rest are forever alone losers just like me.

i think at arround like 12 when i moved from grade school to jhs and met new kids who bullied me a bit. granted it wasnt that much because i was a big kid (tall and kinda chubby), but im rather sensitive

i didnt make friends because i was super shy, and lo and behond i spent all my lunches alone going home to eat

then i moved to a new hs because my parents moved to a new location, and dropped out after 1.5 years
