How you do make friends?
I'm 24, at this age, everyone already has they own social circle, and if you come as someone with no friends you are a weirdo and shit like that.

I wish I knew. People keep saying "Meet people at social functions" or whatever, but they're all with their own friends or girlfriends or whatever and I can't open a conversation to save my life.
The one I've heard that makes sense is church, but unfortunately I'm nonreligious and I can't pretend long enough to get into a group like that.

>How you do make friends?
i dont mean to be rude but you are asking the wrong people
and not only that, but i think even those with friends wouldnt be able to give good advice - its not something people need to do often, and everyone finds there own unique group their own way
i will say this though - know what your interests are and actively try to find people with similar interests, those people are the best candidates for friendship... even though it is possible i think to be friends with people with different interests as you, i think those friendships are more the type from people who were friends since childhood or some shit
also, i think my personal failing in making friends is due to social inability to fit in or talk normally in a group or even on a one on one basis, the BEST thing you can do to make friends is to practice being normal - practice talking to people outside, offline, and you will get better at it over time... maybe

This is a problem even normies face if they relocate to a new area. Bound to be a lot of advice out there.

Chatting with random robots on AIM/MSN back in the days before /soc/ helped me learn to make conversation. You just kind of have to throw yourself in there and figure it out. Something like Omegle might work.

once you are out of college it is game over for making new friends (unless you meet some through work, but mostly they will spend all their time with their gfs and won't spend enough time with them to form a genuine relationship)

But all I do all day is shitpost and browse porn, and that's not exactly a basis for a healthy social relationship. I can't enjoy anything else for too long, it seems.

How do I practice talking in real life? I mean what's the setting for that, other than talking to wannabe-Chads and washed-up sluts at the bar?

this is my problem too, its why I have no friends in the most social environment possible, university
but what the hell am i supposed to do
maybe you should give me advice lol
You need a hobby. Then talk to other people about this hobby, online or in person. Hiking, rock climbing, woodworking, programming, writing, gardening, cooking, etc. Just find online communities for your hobbies, or have social hobbies like sports or hunting or something. If you can't have a hobby, you are boring and deserve no friends.

You should research peacocking.

There is no hope. I'm 33, and I've had zero friends for years. Previous friends started careers, got married, etc. and lost contact. The circumstances under which I made friends are long gone.
Get a job and find friends there

When I was in uni I wish I'd taken up drinking (didn't start until I had already quit) and gone to more parties, even if I had homework I hadn't done.
I was too meme-autistic to realize half the value of going to uni was making friends and learning how to socialize, not just passing classes.
>tfw you will never be a bright-eyed teenager moving into the dorms and going to his first university class again

Drawing attention to myself?
Well, I haven't had an anxiety attack in years but I suppose it would be nice to relive the old times.

That's not true. If you're nice, share similar interests, and can hold entertaining and good conversation you can make friends.
People are lowkey lonely as fuck and want friends. Everyone.
