Does anyone else literally have no friends?
I've currently been in college for 2 years now, failing this semester also, and i've literally made NO friends. I don't think I've ever talked to anyone on a basis outside of school, how the fuck do people make friends?
oh cripes are you me

A really sketchy business, to make friends in college from the ground up. Usually you have to already "know" people, and from there you build new connections.
It's hard to be like "Um, well, I have zero apparent social value, but can I come hang around on your guys' tree?"

You have to not hate people. You have to put effort into social interactions. Make jokes, be witty, feign interest and enthusiasm. You also have to be loud enough to be heard and make a lasting impression. People have to be able to describe you in vivid colorful detail. Anon is such a so and so.
You have to be confident. You have to be suave. You have to be cool, smart and knowledgeable. Because you're a lone wolf looking for a pack. They are recruiting you and they already have plenty of acquaintances already so you need to stand out because good friends are hard to come by and people seldom give chances to randoms so you have to prove yourself to be quite the character, and this is especially double if you are a loner.
I have like 6 friends from high school but I'm in my 3rd year of university and nobody even knows my name

fuck networking. i hate it
>>27577044
i think i do that for the most part. i feign interest, generally ask about the day or whatever is happening. should i just give up? i don't have anything to offer to a bunch of normies that like to party. i've never even been invited to a party in my life and i'm 21

That sounds backwards normalfags are the ones who should put effort into getting on my good side

Up to you. If being sociable doesn't come naturally to you then giving up on friendship is an option. It does get lonely though, so a gf/bf/pet might ease that.
If you are willing to fake the persona of happy go lucky friendly nice guy that everyone likes then go for it, but that can be very daunting, especially if that's not really the lifestyle you want to put effort into. That is, always being happy, on social media, making comments and jokes for lulz, band wagoning on popular culture, being a normie.
I mean you might meet a kindred spirit type friend where you don't have to fake a persona but they are hard to come by, that was something you were meant to obtain when you were younger.

I am 33 years old. I have had zero friends for over 2 years now. For a long time I talked to a paranoid schizophrenic on AIM, but they had a psychotic break and vanished from the internet. After about a year I stopped logging in to AIM.
I have online friends, but no real ones. This can be attributed to my lack of redeeming qualities, inability to socialize, boringness, lack of interests, hobbies, and sufficient common ground.
The last time I made real friends was five years ago, maybe six.
>going to college
fuckin normie
the only friends (if you can call them that) are ones i make online by playing games, i haven't had a real life friend for years and even then they weren't real friends just people i hung out with at school because there wasn't anyone else. online friends are nice, you can talk about whatever and it doesn't matter, but they don't come close to having real physical friends because more often than not you will stop playing a game or whatever and they'll disappear because its not permanent, whereas if you were to see someone in real life everyday that is.

OP, join a study group. You'll make friends and you won't fail
Get a practice friend anon
Oh god. I shouldn't have left home to go to College.
I should have stayed at home and studied whatever.
I wouldn't be costing my parents a fortune in rent and I would be able to just hang out drinking with my normal friends while I goof off with some pleb tier course.
I think I'll drop out next year.
How can someone even call themselves a robot if they have the privilege of going to college? I was so depressed and miserable from the torture of highschool that I couldn't even get out of bed in the morning and simply stopped going. Never even graduated. The thought of going to college terrifies the shit out of me, even if I had the opportunity or the motivation. I'm way too fucked up to function in any sort of environment with other humans

I had such a repulsion to people when entering college that I actively avoided making friends even when opportunities presented themselves.
Didnt want normies because I hate their shallowness, didnt want fellow neckbeards because it would pigeonhole me.
Too much of a failure and socially awkward to make friends with the smart and successful.
Now im forever alone unless im chatting up girls online motivated by sex.
I don't know. It seems like it just "happens" for most people, but there is probably something to it that I don't get.
I don't have any friends in college either. It's really frustrating.
