People like you are absolutely fricking insufferable interpersonally. You're that one homosexual who judges a person based on how they dress, or how they walk.
You're so tepid and shallow, and stupid to boot.
Looking in a mirror you probably don't even compare yourself to others, but looking at them, you compare them to each other.
have a nice day.
You're not special. Not in the least.
>t. spergy mc sperg, sperging out
everyone judges by appearance, homosexual.
you do it too.
it's how you treat people that matters, not what you think of them.

So you literally are illiterate? The post I responded to said "don't say anything" not "don't say anything spergy"
It's okay though, first grade is tough for all of us.
at 20 you're surrounded by people your age who are having fun and sex and you are alone and raging with hormones
at 30 you pretty much get used to it
it still hurts, but you'll learn to live with the pain
30 is where you fix the mistakes of your 20's or you fail as a human being.

Bullshit luck. I had an old friend from HS on my Steam friends I'd avoid out of embarrassment. One day he messaged me, we caught up and I was honest about my situation. He ended up talking to some people he knew at his old job (distribution center) and next hiring wave I got a call. I'd applied there before but they never responded. Not great pay but I'm saving all I can right now.

I never cared and was happy to be alone but as soon as I hit 35 something flipped and now I'm bordering on suicidal

If youre not getting money from neetbux, find a part time job so you can move around and get your head out of your house. Help around with the house. When the dead your parent pass away, they might pass the house deed to you.

Wrong, 30 is happiness through acceptance. You will be 100% happier if you just accept this is your life, thinking about being sad won't change anything, it will just make you sad.
My one singular regret is missing out on young love. Nothing can be done about that now, so that's all there is to it.
Nope, just live life to enjoy it. Expectations are a spook.

Maybe if there's you can enjoy then you need to take some effort to enjoy it? Actually cook if you like it, get a decent PC if you like vidya, go out there and run if you like running, that sort of thing.
>My one singular regret is missing out on young love
I don't even feel that. I never had a crush or fell in love with any girl in school. Like, i can't think of a single girl back then that i would wanna hook up with. It's fricking weird man. I was an early bloomer too and masterbated to porn when i was like 9, maybe that's what damaged me. I do want a gf/wife i can love, but i find it extremely hard to develop romantic feelings for women. Call me a psychopath, but i do love my cats.
had young love, kinda overrated.
and i regret not having had the opportunity with the woman of my dreams (that id marry then). id imagine those that had that also have further regrets, like getting kids earlier/later or whatever.
its human nature to think how the past COULD have been better, it seems.
this was also me when I was 20, but in my 24th birthday I had a revelation, "I have 365 days to be a miserable frick, I AM NOT going be one today" so I forced myself to have a good fricking time ever since even if I didn't feel like it, it feels much better.

my guess is that they switched the digits for fun, that baldness pattern + hairy arm just can't possibly be 23, like I've seen dudes who landed on bankupcy on genetic wheel of fortune, but holy shit this is scary
it was ok growing up. i had someone to do stuff with. as adults we only see each other once a year on christmas, if that, and aren't really a significant part of each other's lives.
probably but why the frick would you want that? unless you're dating an asian (good luck finding an attractive one) if she hasn't hit the wall she will in 5 years tops
i had a slampig milf with that exact gap. honestly the best frick ive ever had but i wasnt about to move to new york w her to be a stepdad when she got custody of her daughter back.
anyone have the black guy constantly updating his facebook letting everyone know his birthday's coming up then his last post is him with his cake saying "no one showed up"
>That one woman in there
Doesn't belong. Women live life on easy mode.
She's completely at fault for her own moronic sadness. Women who complain in the modern age are genetic shit. Compared to a man's life, a woman has absolutely nothing to b***h about, and yet that's all they ever do.
Mentally disabled women are much more protected than mentally disabled men.
Mentally disabled men are often left to die alone by family and friends. Often they just get isolated because everyone feels bad about them, as if they've lost the battle before it even started.
Mentally disabled women are seen as more vulnerable than the average woman, so they get way more attention, and some men see them as targets to take advantage of.
The genders will never be the same. Men will always be treated as disposable and replaceable. It sucks but you can't change it. Nobody can.
>Mentally disabled women are seen as more vulnerable than the average woman
This is true though, women are already near-helpless people, the moronic ones might as well be puppies
Meanwhile a 6 foot 25 year old man with down-syndrome can strangle a security guard

Yeah, there's more to it for sure, but that's kind of the silver lining from what I can tell. Women get way more free rides today than men do hands down. Don't even joke about it, it's true.
So your entire view of "women have it easy" begins and ends at "prostitute yourself out". And guys like (you) wonder why you have such a difficult time with women.
>So your entire view of "women have it easy" begins and ends at "prostitute yourself out".
That's why they have it easy and most of them do it. Women's success is built entirely on men wanting to frick them.

If you're a parent and you force your kids to stay home like this, you fail as parent. The same goes with being in poverty and decided to pop a kid while you have no money or in debt. Those age are critical in forming their social skill and by denying them this, you destroy their brain growth.

I hide my birthdays on social media since uni days. Cant remember the last time I celebrated >tfw it hurts less that no one remembers than when everyone sees and consciously decides to do nothing
I'm a ghost on social media until my birthday, then I get 100+ messages. (People see me reply to comments, it gets boosted and they start messaging too)
Try it, it cheers you up.
I haven't posted a single post on facebook or twitter ever in my life.
At least i no longer have to endure the constant "what's your facebook? What do you mean you don't have one, don't you have any friends?" cries of astonishment because facebook is no longer cool.
my most recent birthday was the best because i got to drink with my friends and be loud and stupid and feel like I'm being myself instead of hiding my feelings like I did around my old roommates and even my family
this is the way to do it. meeting up with your 3-4 close friends and just sitting around shooting the shit, catching up and having a relaxing good time is the way to celebrate your birthday at age 20+. that freeing feeling of being unguarded around other human beings is very underrated and instantly makes life feel 100x better. keep it up bro 🙂

Okay, first of all, who the frick is happy being forklift certified? Why didn't he get the short end of the stick?
What the frick did they want from me?
I actually hate morons like that. Like frick off, man.
sounds a bit like you simply admitted you were likely doing something that made you unhappy and they tried to give you advice, which you didn't take well. wonder why things got heavy, eh? if you really don't care what you wind up doing, you should have just played it off that way and told them something like you don't mind what you do for living as long as you have the means to do what you like, perfectly social answer and true-- right?
Nah get the frick outta here you homosexual. He's right to be angry they put him on the spot like that. b***h move 100% they didn't have to take it that direction at all, but they did.
You can't fault anon for his honest answer, and he didn't say he was unhappy about his career choice. Being a realist isn't something to lament, you sad moron.
Dude just don't stop talking abruptly, speak smoother. People don't seem to deal with non-verbal communication well. Even something simple like >Eh, maybe
would do fine. Dropping the conversation makes it seem like you don't want to speak with them.

I wish I was making this shit up since I know how much it reads like a /misc/ post but it's fricking true.
High school reunions aren't hosted at the high schools anymore. Now the rent out bars or resturants. I went to this bar with some friends from work and it turned out to be the location for my HS reunion. It was even more awkward as I told them to stop adding me to the Facebook char and sending me invites back when I had facebook still.
are you incapable of fricking shooting the shit? its the way to break the ice make yourselves comfortable with eachother again. its not easy when you haven't seen eachother in a long time. its called "catching up" and you sitting like a brooding quiet, non-contributing autist probably didn't help anything either.
>alone as a kid >actually make friends in late teens/early 20s despite being an autist >hit 30s >everyone gets married, has kids and drifts away >suck at making friends still so I'm just slowly drifting back to where I was as a kid
If you even somehow have one or two friends, enjoy the time spent with them bullshitting around.
>tfw 30yo
sometimes I feel like I prefer that. I have 2 friends who are twice as losers as me, and sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time with them and they're just going to drag me more to that side.
its how life is for everyone. including the most normal and stable people who are unmarried. the only places you can find friends as a late 20s/30s adult is through work or through whomever you are married to. work is very dicey to me as you definitely have an "at work" personality that you mold yourself into while on the clock, and so does everyone else. therefore its very hard to befriend some people when everyone at work is very mask on all the time. the best time to really get to know co-workers is if you find yourself in a situation where you are drinking. which obviously sucks because not everyone drinks and its annoying that you have to consume literal poison to feel unguarded, but it is what it is.
People always think that other people live better and more exciting lives than them, but for the most part, this is a lie. I did share my life with a lot of people, and almost always the most exciting thing that happened to them was either something from work or from a drinking night on the weekend. The only sort of people that looked like they were doing well and were truly happy were people with small kids, and even they often talked about troubling relationships the second most happy group seems to be the slightly asocial guys who seems to have all the time in the world and always seems care free. But after drinking with them, one realizes that they have their own problems, mostly loneliness. In conclusion there is no winning unless you are very lucky, but having kids and being good parents seems like the best way to get a bit of happiness.

My condolences especially with whats happening right now.

Have you tried doing something different
Define "something different"
Have you tried getting a pet?
I had pets when I was a kid but now I have to live in BigCity to work. I don't want to get a cat in small flat, he don't deserve it. I wish I could go back to my country side but I need money
Since two months, every weekend I tell myself "I will go to the park and read a book", I haven't done it yet. Apply this to everything. I don't have a drive to do anything. The cycle repeat ad nauseam but I can't complain since I'm the one maintaining it. In the end my posts are just rants from a stupid frog who will never change. The easy way out of the cycle is death by accident
Well, at least you can hope to have a cat in the future, right? Money comes and goes, maybe you won't have to spend all of your life in a city.
I hate the city but until I get a fully remote job it's that or nothing
have you tried going to the gym? it will put you in a literally healthy environment with tons of likeminded people trying to make themselves and others succeed. its a positive environment. it will also get you into the habit of leaving the house for other purposes than groceries and work.

I think I'm going go camping alone or something instead of recreating all these photos.
Another year of having a cake and party at my parents house, no friends no girlfriend failed at life being around family in same shithiole town I've always lived in is just too much to bear
My homie id say go to a club or a bar and make some memories then get a stripper or some shit tattoo etc.
I can assure you these are your best years and if i didnt love you i`d say go waste your day like those suckers OP posted. Dont be miserable. Youre good enough, its your day.
Or, just be cool and dont give a frick about coming out of pussy day because your an adult. I dont know.
Every time a thread like this pops up I'm reminded of why this board is so collectively moronic and obnoxious. Just a burn of burnout 20-somethings wallowing in each others' misery after burning off the surplus of energy they put into getting mad at irrelevant internet drama. And I'm not even gonna be a moron and say it's the internet's fault, the internet is great, you homies are just not built for it.
I would settle for some online friends even, its impossible for me to find anyone that I can chat to. I'm obviously a sperg but I can't stand other spergs, I just seethe quietly at them
That is some advice I gave to a friend who had (note the past tense) a ground of friends who were total fricking losers and basically leached off him. While he did not heed my advice right away after some nerd drama he cut them out and life has been better since.
At one point I turned to a discord to try socialize even a little. But I just can't stand them and end up leaving.
It's a bit sad that I can only talk more with anons here than people of my same language in the Internet. I've even played with some anons from here
>At one point I turned to a discord to try socialize even a little. But I just can't stand them and end up leaving.
Same, and besides random encounters in vidya its impossible to make gaming friends. I tried a discord server or two but its impossible to find a good server and the majority are just shitposting dumps
>discord to try socialize
How though? The only discords i seem to stumble upon are easily the ones you obviously should stay away from, or places with thousands of normalgays so conversations don't really happen
Last friend i had was an actual narcissist who played board games on his own. He offered to be my friend "as much i require" of him and at the beginning it seemed he would keep his word but eventually these people go always back to their selfish habits and just want to play videogames alone after work, that´s when it become very clear to me how someone who seems cool on the outside can be completely alone. I am friendless to ofc, but at least i don´t go pretending i can be anyone´s close or best friend.
this thread would have me think something is wrong with me but am i the only one who has/had more fun playing games by myself than with others, even as a kid
so what went wrong? im actually trying to understand this mindset because i play games to escape from all the bullshit people not spend even more time with them
The way i see it, a very little amount of people are natural hermits. Many others simply learn to lean into that for whatever reasons, such as enjoying some time themselves. And some people have whatever troubles in their lives fester too much, to the point where shit's fricked up and they are stuck in a position they are still no fit in. One can enjoy peace and quiet away from the mothefrickers but if you stay away from people for years, especially in the early life, it might frick up your communication abilities, requirements and opportunities.
not trying to say everyone feels the same as me, i am just genuinely confused by this mindset. if you wanted to hangout with your friends why not go out somewhere or something that involves face-to-face time? why spend time together playing video games?
I don't understand. I have fun doing both. I prefer to play multiplayer games in person so you can shittalk your mates. Otherwise I don't do online multiplayer with them.
I have a photo like this from my 14th. Just me blowing out a cake on my own with my mum behind the camera. It was two days after my actual birthday and my mum wanted to do something because I had moved out to live with my dad before that.
With zero content it's sad as frick
When I start having to explain why I'm not available and the answer I given isn't enough that's what you're dropped from the friend list >I won't be on tomorrow I'm busy >Why wtf >what do you mean? I'm busy >come on dude

Are you gonna start making any changes?
Or are you gonna continue having that gambler attitude where you keep buying the same number (doing the same thing everyday) and hope you win the round (something good to happen)?
Throughout my entire life I have been punished for being outspoken. The people around me constantly drag me down and stops me making concrete changes. I can't win. You think I haven't tried?
I've grown up around people who bullied and ridiculed me for being talkitive, curious and comedic. Constantly put down, told to shut up and made to feel like a weirdo. Family, friends, teachers, etc. and evnetually all that constant beating down finally had an effect of turning me into a quiet, socially anxious freak
I remember this shit in school as a much lesser level. >parents evening >he needs to speak up more in class and add his input >felt it was unfair but whatever >start raising hand more or answering thins >3 months later >he is a disruption and doesn't allow other kids to learn
I was dumbfounded
the fact that people think chatting on discord or anywhere else on the internet can be clasiffied as socializing is the saddest thing i have ever seen, no wonder they can't fricking talk to anyone irl
I have like 400 hours in EDF, all with randoms and it was fun as frick.
Unless you have no life friends, your time rarely going to align to the point where everyone can play or even wants to play a particular game to begin with.
Making new friends after college is really fricking hard, and borderline impossible for someone who had little to no friends to begin with. Forget having a gf. If you're over 25 the best you can ask for is "upgrading" from NEET to wageslave.
Damn, I'm cute. But where did you get this picture of me?
This thread makes me wonder how many people are lonely but just pretending on the outside. Must be more than half of all people.
As far as you can trust sociological farcical statistics, there was recently big study about this. Around 20% of people around age 30 report having zero friends, and a lot only have one. Sitcom style strong knit groups of lifelong friends are the anomaly among millennials and I expect even more for zoomers once they go past college age.

I'm 33 and I had friends up until highschool, but I'm absolutely shit at keeping in touch so I rarely talk to them anymore. Like once per year, maybe.
I've made many new acquittances since, but nobody I would consider "friend".
Like all those stories about people just going around each other homes all the time or getting together every weekend with the same people are completely alien to me now.
I imagine it only gets worse, since everyone already has their own friend groups since forever and it's more difficult to get it.
If it has a condition its best ot in a shelter until an owner who can give for it is found.

>dog has no idea what is going on, no clue anyone is adopting him, and is probably terrified with something weird around his neck >"hurr feel sorry for him because he's dressed in a tux and got stood up"
people are so fricking stupid
This thread makes me feel a little sad.
I turn 29 next year and I spent all my 20s either studying or working. I didn't develop a social life at all during my 20s.
And I do mean not at all, I didn't go outside except for work, didn't participate in any voice chats online, didn't join any new communities, nothing.
I don't really care but it's interesting imo and I wonder how many people here were like me during their 20s.
Could be worth. At least you've done studying and got a job.
I basically bombed my first try at a degree, got shit grades and dropped out after 2 years, then NEETed for 2 more years only to realize that I have to try again before it's too late.
Finished a 4 year degree just now,with decent grades, but I'm in my 30s and I'm afraid companies only want to recruit younger people at this point.
Good job dude, I don't know what you studied but you'll be fine. At least in tech people are just looking for people that can think, your age doesn't matter.
its fine at least you'll get somewhere with your job experience assuming you don't frick up.
now going throught the same situation but without a job or a career to pursuit or goals to achieve that's when it gets too much to bear
I wish I had an idea of what to do with my life and something to work towards back then. Now I watch my few friends make great strides in their life while I sit in the same spot I've been in for the past few years. And I only have myself to blame.
I used to be like that when i was young back in 2007.
I legit lurked for 2 years before posting because I was extremely anxious of posting on an anonymous imageboard and what others would think.
Thinking back, It was fricking moronic.
I enjoy reading 100s and 100s of stories without acknowledging or interacting with any of them. Im happy to toss mine on the pile in the slim hope others will enjoy mine too.
If you have problem to socialize and are over 18 years old just go drinking into bar.. hur dur it is degenerate.. Sure so is your style of living. after 3 beers you will talk to random people.
we're better off as fellow anons.
Every time I've tried playing with v or vg people, they ended up being the worst degenerates drama magnet I've seen. >talking about porn while waiting for a dungeon queue >anon did I tell you I'm into used diapers? Sometimes I dig out used diapers from the trash. I love exchanging old diapers with the local community of gays >wtf anon >do you wan to see pics >NO
I had to block him. Similar stuff keeps happening. It's better to just stay as anonymous posts.
I am rather vary about connecting with random people from the internet, and in case things work out i can't even speak out until i move out from my family's house.
Case in point
we're better off as fellow anons.

I made my current friend group off of a Ganker minecraft server, including my girlfriend. That said, the remaining people are all not Ganker users and instead their gamer friends who got invited because literally every Ganker user except for maybe 5 randos is a total fricking psycho in one way or another. You look at these threads with a lens of "oh, the people posting on here are just like me" but they aren't. I promise you they aren't. They're genuinely insane and their misery is 99% of their own making.
>they
Ganker hasn't had a native population since the 2000s. 99% of any modern userbase is reddit/facebook/other social media homosexuals with genuine psychosis and narcissism, among many other things
>They're genuinely insane and their misery is 99% of their own making.
This is true, but for me its subconscious, no matter where I go or what I do I'm always "the guy that hates everything" even when I try my hardest not to be a cynical piece of shit
Ganker has a statistical bias, but it's probably more than you think.
Even people who seem "happy" on the outside probably have to deal with it. Like they all have fake friends who just take advantage of each other just to not seem lonely.
It depends if it gets to you. I'm turning 30 and have no friends after a flash accusation a few years back and honestly I am absolutely golden. All I need is my family. I have no issue with social interaction I have just elected not to bother with friends and its fine.
I'm 20 and have had no friends since 2019. I have not gone out once, not even messaged anyone since then. I have never had a girlfriend and have never had sex. I just go to work and come home and play games or make music. I used to think about suicide daily when I was 18-19 but for some reason it stopped and I just don't give a single shit about anything anymore. Still would rather be dead, but I can cope with being a mindless slave until I die of old age. Time moves in a linear fashion at a constant speed, and I will die. I will be forgotten. And eventually, all of history will be permanantly erased when the universe reaches maximum entropy.
oh my god you're only 20 stop being so dramatic everyone in this thread is going to be forgotten probably like 0.01 seconds after they die it's no reason to be a doomer
im only a year older than you and we're probably much in the same boat and yes you are being dramatic. if you are so unhappy with life there is still so much time left to fix it. i'd be more inclined to say you are being reasonable if you were in ur 30s or 40s
Sorry for the unnecessary (You) but you reminded me of someone >Made a new friend in college >He's very short, almost a dwarf >Never mentioned his height or made fun of him >Treated him with a boring neutral stance >2 years later he made friends with a group >They are disrespecting the shit out of him >Basically the butt of the joke >Haven't talked to me since he met them
At least anons here aren't that desperate
I was very short too. Now yo're scaring me. Although you're not talking about me since I went away to college for only two years. They would tease me then but it wasn't the same and I didn't enjoy their company so "I wouldn't say they were my friends although they probably would've considered me a friend.
>parents get to death
this shit probably gonna be owari da for me.
But I'm thinking about selling everything, leaving my country and living in some bum frick nowhere, at least some place where is sunny and summer all year long
I've had the eternal "too shy around strangers so people think I'm boring and too serious because I'm quiet and never invite me anywhere" problem since forever.
The irony is I'm one of the least serious when I get to know people and open up.
>be 34 >have smol but bedrock secure friends group >have small but wider group related to hobby
It is okay - the wider group and I might gel more with more time but realistically the hobby keeps me in contact with civilisation. Otherwise i'd be even more of an office drone since I don't play golf.
>need to talk to people in order to improve my poor social skills >people won’t talk to me because of my poor social skills
What the frick was God thinking when cursed with this loophole?
In case you haven't figured out by now, God is massive troll.
Like what is the first thing you do in a video game when you get control of a character? That's right, most likely you get it to do some dumb shit or act moronic on purpose.
That's God, except you are the character.
>have no friends >don't go out >bad social skills >act like a sperg >everyone says to "just talk to people bro" >go up to someone >have nothing to say because i'm dysfunctional >repeat the viscious cycle
I fricking hate those homosexuals that tell you to "just get yourself out there". If you are not well-adjusted by 18, you have no chance at being normal. You will never ever be normal if you haven't already found your place in society and established yourself in a solid circle of friends.
Here's better advice: learn small talk. Not "hows the weather?" but stuff that you can transition. "who" "what" "when" "where" "why" - not in that order, you have to follow depending on the convo. For instance:
"How was your weekend?"
If they give you an "it was OK" and don't follow up, say "what did you do?"
If they say "nothing" and don't follow up
"Not feeling up for anything or just held up? (AKA "why")"
If they curt response again "just didn't feel like it" - that's the third strike. Not interested in talking or just can't think of anything.
The next thing you do after 3 strikes is turn the spotlight to yourself.
"Well, my weekend was good/sucked and this is why."
Tell a story. If they don't bite on anything, you can try asking their opinion/thoughts on a subject in the story. If they STILL don't give you anything to work with, resign and move on.
Now, if at any point they start conversing and go into detail then you listen to their story and poach for details asking the who what when where why
>Tell a story.
See, this is what socialising is all about. But if you have no experiences then you have frick all to talk about and just look like a boring c**t. And then because you can't connect with anyone, you make no experiences, and the cycle continues.
The fact you won´t reply proves me right, There is nothing inside on you to actually offer to others so you run from actual commitment, you superficial orange frick, i hope you die as alone as me.
I've developed a close knit group of friends so I'm not just with my parents for birthdays. We're all varying degrees of fricking loser nerd so it all works out. Misery loves company!
25 years old, no friends since middle school. Ganker is the only contact I have with other people.
I hear bits and pieces about people I went to school with and they're getting married, moving around the country, making headway in their careers, etc. Meanwhile I'm still living at home, and haven't even held a woman's hand before.
I am pretty content with this, but only because I still feel like a 'young' man. I'm worried that I'll feel absolutely miserable about this when I turn 30.
Well, what happens is that your body starts breaking down and it's increasingly harder to get a girlfriend that's not awful. That's about all. You have a lot more opportunities right now you won't have when you're part 40.
Do you mean like groceries or restaurants?
Groceries are just fine, but I avoid restaurants because I don't want to interact with waiters.
I only like those types where you just have a machine to order and all you need to do is hand out your receipt.
I’m being filtered out in the interview process by >yeah he’s really experienced but he’s off putting and ugly
Lmao
And I got my wizard powers a few months ago
I saw an old coworker/family friend today I haven’t seen in almost a year and he did this exact shit. It pisses me off more than just not bringing it up
This only ever works with women you want to frick, because you're the one who has to keep on being persistent.
Outside that, nobody wants to put in the effort.
To those low confidence anons, it's it nothing but fake it till you make it.
Just pretend you're confident. Think of topics you're going to bring up, something you an talk about at length if encouraged.
I just pretended I was confident until I was.
I wish I could but any time I try to even pretend that I'm anything but dirt, my brain goes into overdrive to remind me that I'm nothing. Doesn't help that I'm a boring sperg.
lmao yeah, a girl working in a store liked my shirt and asked where i bought it from and I felt physical pain saying the website before shuffling off awkwardly
>37 >No friends >No relationship experience >NEET for the last year
I still feel fine, because my sister and brother in law have been going through a lot lately and have needed me to help with the kids a lot. I'm practically a second dad to them now, and it's kind of nice. I don't mind being alone but having a taste of what I could never have is always interesting.
I still think people in relationships are fricking crazy though.
mfw mom encouraged me to ask popular girl for a dance and she was shocked and kinda disgusted
mfw i asked her ten years later to a prom and she was down, but genuinely couldnt bcs of her college exams
i still despise my mother for realizing her son was ugly fat frick and shouldnt be allowed to talk to cunnies
>try to find friends (online) >actual friends, people I don't need to hide or or omit anything from, those entirely on the same page >for me, that's extremely fricking difficult >still partially succeed >keep overthinking everything, feel like our views are still too different in places and/or that it may fall apart any minute
I probably shouldn't have friends.
I'm pretty much a ghost online but still float around various places relevant to my interests. In some cases I see people with interests/opinions/etc. similar to mine, and if there's an opportunity to contact them directly, I might take it. Without being too pushy. But I've only done it like 3 times, really.
The reason it still feels like it's not quite working out is just a me problem.
>31 yo >Some people think I'm 5-7 years younger, some even think I just got out of high school >But have 0 social skills >Found out that some girls found me attractive when it was too late
Life plays heavy jokes on me
Girls used to “ask me out to prank their friends” when I was in HS
Then when I was 21 I finally got a Facebook official girlfriend but she found me too ugly to frick and was using me as a practice boyfriend I guess
Now I’m 30 virgin and feel pain if I think I see her
This. >Delete my Facebook account that some friends pretty much demanded I make years ago >Now people act like I'm an alien because I don't have one of those shitty things anymore.
Do you guys even want to live like normal people? Seems to me that most of you like being like this you just recognize that this style of living coming with being lonely. There enough social rejects and people who live outside of the mainstream society and still get to find love and all that. If you really wanted 99% of you could live semi-normal life.
Honestly I do not. That is a whole 'nother world which I genuinely don't understand, and don't think I ever will. It's Saturday night, and I have NO IDEA what normal people do on a Saturday night for fun. I truly can not tell you.
look up the word "hobby" and really study its definition and examples. THAT is what people do on saturdays. with other people. do you really seriously not understand that???
I don't want to have a normal people life, but i do want someone who shares the same interests and is just as reclusive.
I know it's a paradox, because you're never going to meet anyone if you don't get out.
That is definitely true. But I think it is healthy to do it and meet people. I try to meet people at least once per week or every two weeks because it reminds me that my life is not that bad, and well, you need to be outside to meet chicks. Unless you are some top model that can pull off dating apps,
I want to redo high school, but without all the pretend bullshit, having to worry about my image and trying to impress some girls that just end up friendzoning me.
I could've used the time to develop some skill, like another language or programming.
Oh look at you, being so helpful to random strangers, yet you never had some time to make to talk to your "good" friend. Frick you c**t. You deserve anything bad which happened to you during my abscence. Believe me, the worst is yet to fricking come.
Anon, I don't know if you're just being a piece of shit and trying to take out your frustrations on some depressed people or if you're completely insane and think someone you know is here.
have you tried not being a weird sperg?
Yes
how
easy. whenever you're about to do or say something weird and spergy: don't.
People like you are absolutely fricking insufferable interpersonally. You're that one homosexual who judges a person based on how they dress, or how they walk.
You're so tepid and shallow, and stupid to boot.
Looking in a mirror you probably don't even compare yourself to others, but looking at them, you compare them to each other.
have a nice day.
You're not special. Not in the least.
>t. spergy mc sperg, sperging out
everyone judges by appearance, homosexual.
you do it too.
it's how you treat people that matters, not what you think of them.
He's pretty much right. You're a moronic homosexual. End yourself.
>does the EXACT thing he says people shouldn't do, immediately after saying so
truly a sperg for the ages. zero self awareness.
You say that but lack self-awareness.
Typical.
Youre literally being that person your explaining. Get out of your bubble kid
>just don't say spergy things
>like omg why are you saying spergy things
gottem bro
no he's not
>Don't say anything
>Everyone thinks you're a weird sperg anyways
Well frick
>about to do
Did your aspergers make you illiterate? Being a speechless fricking gargoyle is the spergiest thing you could do.
>not saying something spergy = saying nothing at all
based sperg
So you literally are illiterate? The post I responded to said "don't say anything" not "don't say anything spergy"
It's okay though, first grade is tough for all of us.
>have friends
>too busy to play with them
>if im free they are too busy to play
Such is life at 30+
How many pictures of miserable 20-ish years olds do you guys have?
dozens
True suffering doesn't begin until 30
at 20 you're surrounded by people your age who are having fun and sex and you are alone and raging with hormones
at 30 you pretty much get used to it
it still hurts, but you'll learn to live with the pain
Its much MUCH easier to deal with at 30 though
t. 30 year old
30 is where you fix the mistakes of your 20's or you fail as a human being.
t. 34
Get your shit straight, anon
Stop denying yourself humanity.
Humans are programmed to suffer if they don't fulfill their human instinct.
>denying yourself
>implying it's not other people doing the denying
>30 is where you fix the mistakes of your 20's or you fail as a human being.
oooops
>tfw 35 and just now making it out of neetdom
I feel shitty that it took me this long but at least I'm on my way out of my parents place.
Good on you man, keep going for us anons and for yourself
how did you do it?
Bullshit luck. I had an old friend from HS on my Steam friends I'd avoid out of embarrassment. One day he messaged me, we caught up and I was honest about my situation. He ended up talking to some people he knew at his old job (distribution center) and next hiring wave I got a call. I'd applied there before but they never responded. Not great pay but I'm saving all I can right now.
>tfw turned 35 this year
>single
>no friends
>no job
>still at parents house
>living off autismbux
I never cared and was happy to be alone but as soon as I hit 35 something flipped and now I'm bordering on suicidal
it'll pass brother. trust me you're living better than 99% of people in the world
Thanks Bazza
no he isn't. please stop trying to gaslight this neet into continuing his shit lifestyle.
If you live with a roof over your head you already have a better life than 40%~ of humanity
People aren't robots. He might become numb to everything but never happy.
>watched a trainwreck as the one friend I had from school married a full crazy bpd type
>brother got divorce fricked
Seeing the alternatives makes my blank nothingness life so much easier.
Basing your happiness off other peoples misery is no way to live
Barry knows best
If youre not getting money from neetbux, find a part time job so you can move around and get your head out of your house. Help around with the house. When the dead your parent pass away, they might pass the house deed to you.
Wrong, 30 is happiness through acceptance. You will be 100% happier if you just accept this is your life, thinking about being sad won't change anything, it will just make you sad.
My one singular regret is missing out on young love. Nothing can be done about that now, so that's all there is to it.
Needs some effort too, to make one's life a bit better instead of just existing.
Nope, just live life to enjoy it. Expectations are a spook.
Maybe if there's you can enjoy then you need to take some effort to enjoy it? Actually cook if you like it, get a decent PC if you like vidya, go out there and run if you like running, that sort of thing.
>My one singular regret is missing out on young love
I don't even feel that. I never had a crush or fell in love with any girl in school. Like, i can't think of a single girl back then that i would wanna hook up with. It's fricking weird man. I was an early bloomer too and masterbated to porn when i was like 9, maybe that's what damaged me. I do want a gf/wife i can love, but i find it extremely hard to develop romantic feelings for women. Call me a psychopath, but i do love my cats.
Masturbation was not invented with our generation. Stop taking the morons posting their medieval religious propaganda seriously.
had young love, kinda overrated.
and i regret not having had the opportunity with the woman of my dreams (that id marry then). id imagine those that had that also have further regrets, like getting kids earlier/later or whatever.
its human nature to think how the past COULD have been better, it seems.
Post more, I like them for some reason.
Here
I never cared much for birthdays even when I was a wee lad and actually had friends. But these pictures are still loneliness manifest either way.
would bf
that's a man, baby!
what do you think "bf" means
>she
She wouldn't date you.
Even ugly women get chad boyfriends nowadays. Can you compete with a chad?
being fit doesn't make you a chad + the dude looks 10 years older than her
Boopable nose.
Macintoshchad dad can't stop winning.
Pretty good, I like the crooked picture frame the most.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAt least there's no beer cans in the background
Is it better to celebrate the day with time capsules like this or simply forget the day like it never happened?
What went wrong? He is conventionally attractive and zoomer chicks would kill for a boy like this
He's probably living shitty life in general. Guy in the background doesn't seem interested in the cake so he's possibly his stepdad
doesnt matter how attractive you are if you have no social skills
can confirm
>Live in a shithole
>Macbook
Always the same.
Now THAT is a classic post.
what's up with those cakes being the same? Is this some kind of tradition in America to give your sperg son this kind of cake on his 20th birthday??
both guys and the "cakes", which are just some desserts, looks eastern european
they actually do look pretty good, regular cakes are overrated
I agree they look kinda yummy but I was curious how the frick 2 different pics with the same topic may contain same fricking type of cake, what are the odds even
I had a group of friends when I was in my 20s, but if things went a bit different I could have easily been one of these guys. Feels bad man
this was also me when I was 20, but in my 24th birthday I had a revelation, "I have 365 days to be a miserable frick, I AM NOT going be one today" so I forced myself to have a good fricking time ever since even if I didn't feel like it, it feels much better.
buzzcut guy looks russian to me
I hope he just moved out and his mom is still alive in the bottom pic
Is that the same guy, why didn't he got on fin? he could still get all his hair back.
>why didn't he take troony drugs
>develops man boobs and severe acne
accept you manly hairline and live your file
this homie put candles in oatmeal?
Look at his tablet. He's recreating with what he had on hand.

>tfw mom is dead
>dad has cancer in lower back and can no longer walk
frick I can't even remember the last time one of them bought me a cake for my birthday. Feels horrible, man
Pull a Mr Bean and mail a birthday card to yourself. Buy a single cupcake and plop a candle on it.
Everyone dies, senpai.
Don't forget to live.
Buy yourself something cool on Amazon and a cake at Walmart.
>dont think too much
>just get excited for products
Literally me
this fricker is probably already in his 30s
see
what the actual frick
It's clearly set up to mirror it.
Dudes got a nice coffee machine behind him.
I remember browsing /feels/ threads on Ganker 10 years ago with this image showing up frequently. I was 21 then and turned 31 a month ago. It's so weird to think about it.
I'm pretty sure if I looked hard enough I'd have at least 1 or 2 photos like these of myself
Here's me on my 27th birthday.
My Mother took me to Chik-Fil-A and then bought me a vidya at Best Buy.
Shit was SO cash!
mogs me
Here's me at 37 getting Rib Country for dinner with my grillfriend.
I'm aging like the finest of wines and my grillfriends keep getting younger.
YOLO
you should tell your girlfriend to fix her aspect ratio
Posts like this are probably the creepiest possible.
You're either a total moron posting pictures of yourself or you're pretending you are.
Get help
Nobody gives a single frick what you think, senpai.
:3
you look like that dude who still uses soap shoes
I don't know what those are.
lurk more dumb frick

cringe
Why is your gf a hammerhead shark
Because the Great White already had a boyfriend.

Long tigger is loooooonnnnngggg!

Genetics isn't a lottery. The fact that you didn't realize this means that you have shit genes for intelligence.

yeap it checks out

>Genetics isn't a lottery.
fricking morons I swear. Let me guess it is a social construct amerite?
You're insane and moronic.
Nah it's even more pathetic for people like you. They have a valid excuse to be losers meanwhile you had everything yet still failed.
Holy bald!
Photographic evidence the atheists are right.
>23
fricking HOW
I was like this when I was 18. Neither my dad nor my mom's dad had any hairloss. What went wrong?
>grandpa dies at age 42 with a full head of hair
>dad loses his hair at age 18
>i'm 30 with a full head of hair (for now)
sometimes this shit just skips a generation or two just to give you the middle finger
I heard baldness etc comes from the maternal side of the family. So you're more likely to have similar hair to your mother's father
mf looks 45
Looks a bit like my coworker who is in his 30's.
my guess is that they switched the digits for fun, that baldness pattern + hairy arm just can't possibly be 23, like I've seen dudes who landed on bankupcy on genetic wheel of fortune, but holy shit this is scary
Maybe it's a joke pic where one guy got his older relative to pretend to blow the candles.
I had a friend who looked like this guy at 22
its just poor diet + bad genetics
its mostly poor diet, fast food will frick you up
i knew a guy in hs that was already receding at 18, its grim but totally possible
Pic related is me at 23
No 23 year old looks like that.
I did. This was me at 22
People recognise your dick more.
The red hot quarter pounder is a local legend for sure.
That’s not my ‘ick
Oh yeah you're the other guy. Haven't seen you for a while.
you wre a normal/good looking dude. WTF HAPPENED?!
dota
How fast did your hair go?
Was you brother the same?
I started thinning when I was 14. By 15 I already had a small spot right on top. My brother is 7 years older than me and still has great hair.
Absolutely mental how hairline work
You are forklift certified right?
Have you grown the beard out longer?
I’ve rarely let it get much longer than it is now. I actually let the chin part grow out a little more to make people think I have a chin lol
grow the sides straight up like the dude from prodigy
That’s what I’m thinking about going for, although I pictured heihachi
Do you not considers someone will be deranged enough to dox you?
you're slowly becoming full heihachi, keep it up
Ah yes, the Dan Bilzerian beard trick. Works every time.
nahh buff up and grow that shit for ultimate daddy mode
honestly you look cooler but i am mentally ill
You'd actually be pretty attractive if you weren't an obese cow
gaaaaaaaaaay
anon, you gotta stop drinking so much soda/beer
you look fricking 35. you need to lose weight, man. and get some style for god's sake.
Who are those guys on the fridge deckman?

homie I'm not playing with dirt
my older cousin used to bogart my computer playing a wheel of time mud and try to tell me all about his adventures
If only greentexting had been invented back then.
The fluoride stare actually means that it's pointless to disagree with you, so they just keep quiet and hope you change the topic eventually.

Regretful when they die before you do.
it was ok growing up. i had someone to do stuff with. as adults we only see each other once a year on christmas, if that, and aren't really a significant part of each other's lives.
Anyone have a Discord invite? I am willing to give it a try. Is it like AIM?
>game is fun with enemies
>have too many so they can't all play
>they get pissed off
if a game is only fun with friends, it's not a fun game. if a game is fun even without friends, then you don't need friends.
I'm in my 30s, and I recently got a gf that's 10 years younger.
based, i got a 19-year-old gf when i was 27
Do you think it's possible to do the same but with reversed ages?
That's what cougars are for
this isn't the bestiality thread, anon
lul
probably but why the frick would you want that? unless you're dating an asian (good luck finding an attractive one) if she hasn't hit the wall she will in 5 years tops
i had a slampig milf with that exact gap. honestly the best frick ive ever had but i wasnt about to move to new york w her to be a stepdad when she got custody of her daughter back.
Leave some for the others, you stud.

anyone have the black guy constantly updating his facebook letting everyone know his birthday's coming up then his last post is him with his cake saying "no one showed up"
I haven't celebrated my birthday in 9 years
happy birthday
Video games for this feel?
The long haired dude is pretty cute.
>That one woman in there
Doesn't belong. Women live life on easy mode.
She's completely at fault for her own moronic sadness. Women who complain in the modern age are genetic shit. Compared to a man's life, a woman has absolutely nothing to b***h about, and yet that's all they ever do.
What if she's mentally disabled
Mentally disabled women are much more protected than mentally disabled men.
Mentally disabled men are often left to die alone by family and friends. Often they just get isolated because everyone feels bad about them, as if they've lost the battle before it even started.
Mentally disabled women are seen as more vulnerable than the average woman, so they get way more attention, and some men see them as targets to take advantage of.
The genders will never be the same. Men will always be treated as disposable and replaceable. It sucks but you can't change it. Nobody can.
>Mentally disabled women are seen as more vulnerable than the average woman
This is true though, women are already near-helpless people, the moronic ones might as well be puppies
Meanwhile a 6 foot 25 year old man with down-syndrome can strangle a security guard
And why do you think they have it easy anon?
>Be born
>Your sexual capitol peaks in your teens
>Your intrinsic value is higher than any male's
>You have decades to exploit it, and get somewhere you want to be. You can even just go on social media and get simps to buy your pictures. Fricking pixels for actual money.
>Hell, you can even go into porn and make easy as frick money. (Porn is easy have a nice day if you think it isn't.)
>All you have to do is find a target, and somewhat successful male on social media.
>You can even stalk him.
>You're a woman, you're not going to be regarded as creepy before you approach anyone.
>Get to plan away. Chances are, that man has been through the shit, and will leap at your advances as if you're made of gold.
>All you have to do now is not cheat, be a prostitute, and put up with small shit he might do.
>If this is too much for you to do before you reach your 30s, you're officially fricking moronic and end up with a few cats and wine bottles in the fridge.
>You even only go to college to meet these "High value men" to see your options.
>Be a man
>You're fricking worthless, right off the bat.
>You have to literally build yourself up.
>In the modern age, you have to pursue your value, and generate your own capitol. Most don't even get to reach a sufficient level before they get to their 30s because of inflation and how fricked the housing market is.
>Moving out is often just the difference between being homeless or sticking a gun in your mouth and pulling the trigger.
>If you're not carried by your parents and nepotism, you're going to have it fricking ROUGH.
Yeah, there's more to it for sure, but that's kind of the silver lining from what I can tell. Women get way more free rides today than men do hands down. Don't even joke about it, it's true.
So your entire view of "women have it easy" begins and ends at "prostitute yourself out". And guys like (you) wonder why you have such a difficult time with women.
>So your entire view of "women have it easy" begins and ends at "prostitute yourself out".
That's why they have it easy and most of them do it. Women's success is built entirely on men wanting to frick them.

Agreed completely, I suppose we just got older. I imagine it's just the 20 somethings mocking them these days.
The dale one is the worst, but it needs the greentext.
man, I feel for these guys. especially the big one on the left with siblings much younger than he is, he looks like he's having a rough time.
I try and project that they're only done for their parents benefit the day after they met their friends and shit.
at least these chocolate cakes look half decent. I don't even get that

If you're a parent and you force your kids to stay home like this, you fail as parent. The same goes with being in poverty and decided to pop a kid while you have no money or in debt. Those age are critical in forming their social skill and by denying them this, you destroy their brain growth.
shutup ESL c**t
Nothing will make you more of a racist sperg than being a poor white kid and living around Black folk. I wouldn't wish this on my greatest enemy
It's not any better when your rich.

I wanted to go in to IT and join the swim team but my parents tried to force me in to becoming a doctor and do fricking baseball. They aren't even Asian or doctors and my career choice isn't even something stupid. Boomers really are just fricking terrible people.
What do you do now?
Worked at a logistics company for y years, got laid off after Christmas and now do security. Most I do with computers is play video games and make shitty VR chat avatars. I honesty have zero desire to try and learn how to code or anything as I'm now 32.
>It's not any better when your rich.
it's slightly better, imagine your parents doing all that to you, but you have to also go to work and help raise your 4 younger siblings
I'm not very good at talking
the more you grow the more you realize that the concept of having friends is nothing more than a delusion, a coping mechanism maybe
in reality you are completely alone and unless you take care of yourself with your own might you're going to get tossed around like a rag and be used like a puppet
there are no friends in this world and anyone who pretends is doing it to take advantage of you
Doctor, thank you so much. I was getting low on my dose so this refill means a lot to me!
There's no winning, honestly.

I'm a ghost on social media until my birthday, then I get 100+ messages. (People see me reply to comments, it gets boosted and they start messaging too)
Try it, it cheers you up.
I haven't posted a single post on facebook or twitter ever in my life.
At least i no longer have to endure the constant "what's your facebook? What do you mean you don't have one, don't you have any friends?" cries of astonishment because facebook is no longer cool.
I don't even know what young people use anymore. Well, they don't have friends either, but I guess Tik Tok?
Instagram and Facebook are the main ones. About 50% of them use TikTok.
>t. zoomer
my most recent birthday was the best because i got to drink with my friends and be loud and stupid and feel like I'm being myself instead of hiding my feelings like I did around my old roommates and even my family
Sounds like you're making progress to me
this is the way to do it. meeting up with your 3-4 close friends and just sitting around shooting the shit, catching up and having a relaxing good time is the way to celebrate your birthday at age 20+. that freeing feeling of being unguarded around other human beings is very underrated and instantly makes life feel 100x better. keep it up bro 🙂
everything can be fun with friends, if the only positive thing you can say about a game is fun with friends then the game most likely sucks and is not worth your time
You need friends when you are wrong, because when you are right, you dont need anything
Wise words, anon.

Okay, first of all, who the frick is happy being forklift certified? Why didn't he get the short end of the stick?
What the frick did they want from me?
I actually hate morons like that. Like frick off, man.
sounds a bit like you simply admitted you were likely doing something that made you unhappy and they tried to give you advice, which you didn't take well. wonder why things got heavy, eh? if you really don't care what you wind up doing, you should have just played it off that way and told them something like you don't mind what you do for living as long as you have the means to do what you like, perfectly social answer and true-- right?
Nah get the frick outta here you homosexual. He's right to be angry they put him on the spot like that. b***h move 100% they didn't have to take it that direction at all, but they did.
You can't fault anon for his honest answer, and he didn't say he was unhappy about his career choice. Being a realist isn't something to lament, you sad moron.
ahahahaha actual autism
You might have showed a lot of negative emotion on your face without realizing it.
Dude just don't stop talking abruptly, speak smoother. People don't seem to deal with non-verbal communication well. Even something simple like
>Eh, maybe
would do fine. Dropping the conversation makes it seem like you don't want to speak with them.
Mine was worse.

I wish I was making this shit up since I know how much it reads like a /misc/ post but it's fricking true.
show up to high school reunion
Come on what the frick do you mean
High school reunions aren't hosted at the high schools anymore. Now the rent out bars or resturants. I went to this bar with some friends from work and it turned out to be the location for my HS reunion. It was even more awkward as I told them to stop adding me to the Facebook char and sending me invites back when I had facebook still.
Did you got to a special school, what the frick?
dare I say.... Based morons?
I would probably be in that group
Who doesn't like forklifts? It might not be prestigious but there's nothing wrong with operating machinery.
are you incapable of fricking shooting the shit? its the way to break the ice make yourselves comfortable with eachother again. its not easy when you haven't seen eachother in a long time. its called "catching up" and you sitting like a brooding quiet, non-contributing autist probably didn't help anything either.
this reminds me of the whitest kids u know PCP sketch for some reason
Why have friends when you can just listen to acid techno all day?
Imagine unironically thinking that talking to people is more enjoyable than ACEEEEED.
>alone as a kid
>actually make friends in late teens/early 20s despite being an autist
>hit 30s
>everyone gets married, has kids and drifts away
>suck at making friends still so I'm just slowly drifting back to where I was as a kid
If you even somehow have one or two friends, enjoy the time spent with them bullshitting around.
making friends gets harder and harder as you age even for normalgays
trying to make friends in you 30s is nightmare difficulty
>tfw 30yo
sometimes I feel like I prefer that. I have 2 friends who are twice as losers as me, and sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time with them and they're just going to drag me more to that side.
be their shining beacon of light, bro. be someone they can strive to be and motivate them.
Aspergers is a fricking nightmare
its how life is for everyone. including the most normal and stable people who are unmarried. the only places you can find friends as a late 20s/30s adult is through work or through whomever you are married to. work is very dicey to me as you definitely have an "at work" personality that you mold yourself into while on the clock, and so does everyone else. therefore its very hard to befriend some people when everyone at work is very mask on all the time. the best time to really get to know co-workers is if you find yourself in a situation where you are drinking. which obviously sucks because not everyone drinks and its annoying that you have to consume literal poison to feel unguarded, but it is what it is.
People always think that other people live better and more exciting lives than them, but for the most part, this is a lie. I did share my life with a lot of people, and almost always the most exciting thing that happened to them was either something from work or from a drinking night on the weekend. The only sort of people that looked like they were doing well and were truly happy were people with small kids, and even they often talked about troubling relationships the second most happy group seems to be the slightly asocial guys who seems to have all the time in the world and always seems care free. But after drinking with them, one realizes that they have their own problems, mostly loneliness. In conclusion there is no winning unless you are very lucky, but having kids and being good parents seems like the best way to get a bit of happiness.
I don't celebrate my birthday since a long time,. I'm 23, french and bald. Hope I don't wake up tomorrow
>french
im so sorry to hear
Could be worse, could be better. The nignog stoped burning everything but I will have to pay the repair with my tax
Define "something different"
I had pets when I was a kid but now I have to live in BigCity to work. I don't want to get a cat in small flat, he don't deserve it. I wish I could go back to my country side but I need money
>Define "something different
Anything you dont do on a daily basic and have a high familiarity with
Since two months, every weekend I tell myself "I will go to the park and read a book", I haven't done it yet. Apply this to everything. I don't have a drive to do anything. The cycle repeat ad nauseam but I can't complain since I'm the one maintaining it. In the end my posts are just rants from a stupid frog who will never change. The easy way out of the cycle is death by accident
I hate the city but until I get a fully remote job it's that or nothing
"For two months" is a more applicable use.
My bad, thanks Anon
No worries, I only know one language so you've got me beat there
You got to first build better relationships with family, friends, community
Try some community service
have you tried going to the gym? it will put you in a literally healthy environment with tons of likeminded people trying to make themselves and others succeed. its a positive environment. it will also get you into the habit of leaving the house for other purposes than groceries and work.
No. They have these same threads on Ganker too you know
Well, at least you can hope to have a cat in the future, right? Money comes and goes, maybe you won't have to spend all of your life in a city.
Have you tried doing something different

My birthday is in 10 days, I'm turning 22.
I think I'm going go camping alone or something instead of recreating all these photos.
Another year of having a cake and party at my parents house, no friends no girlfriend failed at life being around family in same shithiole town I've always lived in is just too much to bear
My homie id say go to a club or a bar and make some memories then get a stripper or some shit tattoo etc.
I can assure you these are your best years and if i didnt love you i`d say go waste your day like those suckers OP posted. Dont be miserable. Youre good enough, its your day.
Or, just be cool and dont give a frick about coming out of pussy day because your an adult. I dont know.
I haven't left the house in almost a year, except for a few doctors appointments
I can feel myself becomiong more mentally ill by the day
Every time a thread like this pops up I'm reminded of why this board is so collectively moronic and obnoxious. Just a burn of burnout 20-somethings wallowing in each others' misery after burning off the surplus of energy they put into getting mad at irrelevant internet drama. And I'm not even gonna be a moron and say it's the internet's fault, the internet is great, you homies are just not built for it.
I would settle for some online friends even, its impossible for me to find anyone that I can chat to. I'm obviously a sperg but I can't stand other spergs, I just seethe quietly at them
Hello /LULZ/!
Drinking in a pub alone is awful but I need my fix.
If you've gotta choose between bad friends or no friends, chose the latter. Being alone is better than being with people who don't care about you.
That is some advice I gave to a friend who had (note the past tense) a ground of friends who were total fricking losers and basically leached off him. While he did not heed my advice right away after some nerd drama he cut them out and life has been better since.
At one point I turned to a discord to try socialize even a little. But I just can't stand them and end up leaving.
It's a bit sad that I can only talk more with anons here than people of my same language in the Internet. I've even played with some anons from here
Just got to keep looking until you find the right place
>At one point I turned to a discord to try socialize even a little. But I just can't stand them and end up leaving.
Same, and besides random encounters in vidya its impossible to make gaming friends. I tried a discord server or two but its impossible to find a good server and the majority are just shitposting dumps
>discord to try socialize
How though? The only discords i seem to stumble upon are easily the ones you obviously should stay away from, or places with thousands of normalgays so conversations don't really happen

I EXIST TO SUFFER
Frick, i miss this game. I still have the disc but it's scratched. I could emulate it but maybe the memory is better
You could emulate but that means being exposed to master difficulty which is controller breaking hard.
Last friend i had was an actual narcissist who played board games on his own. He offered to be my friend "as much i require" of him and at the beginning it seemed he would keep his word but eventually these people go always back to their selfish habits and just want to play videogames alone after work, that´s when it become very clear to me how someone who seems cool on the outside can be completely alone. I am friendless to ofc, but at least i don´t go pretending i can be anyone´s close or best friend.
What videogame isn't fun with friends? That's not a selling quote at all.
this thread would have me think something is wrong with me but am i the only one who has/had more fun playing games by myself than with others, even as a kid
I think at least half the thread was enjoying games by themselves until something gone wrong.
so what went wrong? im actually trying to understand this mindset because i play games to escape from all the bullshit people not spend even more time with them
The way i see it, a very little amount of people are natural hermits. Many others simply learn to lean into that for whatever reasons, such as enjoying some time themselves. And some people have whatever troubles in their lives fester too much, to the point where shit's fricked up and they are stuck in a position they are still no fit in. One can enjoy peace and quiet away from the mothefrickers but if you stay away from people for years, especially in the early life, it might frick up your communication abilities, requirements and opportunities.
>am i the only one
Speak for yourself.
not trying to say everyone feels the same as me, i am just genuinely confused by this mindset. if you wanted to hangout with your friends why not go out somewhere or something that involves face-to-face time? why spend time together playing video games?
If you don't get it without needing it explained you won't understand.
and you people wonder why you are miserable...
i have and it's not that special anon, i genuinely dont understand
I know you don't, you don't want to understand.
Stop projecting you weirdo.
Last response for you.
>never played smash with friends
I pity you
I don't understand. I have fun doing both. I prefer to play multiplayer games in person so you can shittalk your mates. Otherwise I don't do online multiplayer with them.
I have a photo like this from my 14th. Just me blowing out a cake on my own with my mum behind the camera. It was two days after my actual birthday and my mum wanted to do something because I had moved out to live with my dad before that.
With zero content it's sad as frick

Tell your mum is is okay alright bruv.
Too many friendships turn into obligations so I cull them out

Blocked
>create discord account and join a bunch of servers
>have no connection with anyone in the servers
I don't know how to socialize anymore
trying to talk in discord servers legitimately makes me feel like i have brain damage or something
its a shitty idea. the only reason to use discord is because you are talking to people you know irl or mutuals and then you can branch off from there.
luckily I have AI chatbots now to keep the crippling loneliness at bay
they're good until they start to forget past conversations
Real
You know that they'll take it away from us once again as they've always done and lobotomize it to hell and back
haha this artwork makes it look like he died on these stairs haha
it's okay, soon we'll be able to create our own friends to play with
I want the real deal or nothing at all.
AI companions for market are going to be so neutered because of ethics bullshit, it's not worth it
Dude, just look at
Not only do people keep finding ways to get unfiltered sex with public LLMs like gpt turbo, gpt-4 and claude, but LLMs you can run with 8 GB VRAM are getting smarter

Are you gonna start making any changes?
Or are you gonna continue having that gambler attitude where you keep buying the same number (doing the same thing everyday) and hope you win the round (something good to happen)?
Throughout my entire life I have been punished for being outspoken. The people around me constantly drag me down and stops me making concrete changes. I can't win. You think I haven't tried?
Do you also suffer from the case where people you hardly know feel they should give your their input on you?
I've grown up around people who bullied and ridiculed me for being talkitive, curious and comedic. Constantly put down, told to shut up and made to feel like a weirdo. Family, friends, teachers, etc. and evnetually all that constant beating down finally had an effect of turning me into a quiet, socially anxious freak
I remember this shit in school as a much lesser level.

How the hell do you fail at the 100x easier version of real-life networking
Because most of the time, others don't respond which makes you feel like the odd one out.
its just so hard to find a server where you can chat that isnt a wall of neverending shitpost spam
I'm a under socialized moron who doesn't know how to make conversation
the fact that people think chatting on discord or anywhere else on the internet can be clasiffied as socializing is the saddest thing i have ever seen, no wonder they can't fricking talk to anyone irl
I have like 400 hours in EDF, all with randoms and it was fun as frick.
Unless you have no life friends, your time rarely going to align to the point where everyone can play or even wants to play a particular game to begin with.
Is it too late to change?
Making new friends after college is really fricking hard, and borderline impossible for someone who had little to no friends to begin with. Forget having a gf. If you're over 25 the best you can ask for is "upgrading" from NEET to wageslave.
Literally me
>Rich inner world, none of it comes out
NOOOOO YOU DON´T KNOW ME STFU
Damn, I'm cute. But where did you get this picture of me?
As far as you can trust sociological farcical statistics, there was recently big study about this. Around 20% of people around age 30 report having zero friends, and a lot only have one. Sitcom style strong knit groups of lifelong friends are the anomaly among millennials and I expect even more for zoomers once they go past college age.

it was ogre before it began
growing up in poverty really fricks you hard with the additional caveat of a part-time parent
fricking DO something!!!!!!! what are you waiting for?? you say you have hobbies? what are they? try linking up with like-minded people. you are not even trying, man. DO SOMETHING
Hello anon, welcome to depression!
im turning 20 in 4 days
I know this feel, I'm 32 and haven't had a friend since junior high
I'm 33 and I had friends up until highschool, but I'm absolutely shit at keeping in touch so I rarely talk to them anymore. Like once per year, maybe.
I've made many new acquittances since, but nobody I would consider "friend".
Like all those stories about people just going around each other homes all the time or getting together every weekend with the same people are completely alien to me now.
I imagine it only gets worse, since everyone already has their own friend groups since forever and it's more difficult to get it.
oh god i forgot all about this
christ i feel like shit
https://www.boredpanda.com/rejected-cat-alone-birthday-party/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic
genuinely makes me feel like a lump of trash. animal misfortune has always had such a severe affect on me
There is no misfortune here though. The cat didn't know it had a birthday
the cat is still abandoned in a shelter. maybe it got adopted though like the other anon said.
forgot about this too which is even worse for the lil guy considering it seems he had someone adopt him but never actually come get him
If it has a condition its best ot in a shelter until an owner who can give for it is found.
i understand that much. i still feed bad for all the animals without homes. even my local no-kill shelter, that's been this way for decades, has been discussing killing simply because theyre so goddamn full
Are you autistic by any chance?
If it helps, It was a stunt by the adoption center to get the cat a home, and she was quickly adopted
Is this something that AI can eventually replicate? Like a ChatGPT type thing you can play games with and become friends with
ENTER
This is fricked up. they don't even seem like hateful parents since they are taking pictures with him wearing a fricking fursuit
Don't furries find their partner at cons? It's not like they have that much to pick from and will probably stay together when they find one.
>Either they don't get it yet and just see their child being way too childish for their age

I don't know which is worse.

I cherish the memories but equally internet friends are not real friends.

Legit either become Ganker (for the homosexualry) or take up /tg/.

That's not an option anymore, depressed lonely losers have been driven out of the hobby
40k is still a strong game anon. I would say WHFB but lel GW killed that.
sorry anon, I'm not into fantasy genre, I like historical but I need to be at least 50 old with belly to play with lads

All the GW stores here are full of the most fake dude bros just trying to drag people in to sell them plastic
I have three normal and successful-ish (in the context of this fricked up era when no one in our generation can even afford a house) siblings so there's no pressure on my shoulders to succeed.

This thread makes me feel a little sad.
I turn 29 next year and I spent all my 20s either studying or working. I didn't develop a social life at all during my 20s.
And I do mean not at all, I didn't go outside except for work, didn't participate in any voice chats online, didn't join any new communities, nothing.
I don't really care but it's interesting imo and I wonder how many people here were like me during their 20s.
Could be worth. At least you've done studying and got a job.
I basically bombed my first try at a degree, got shit grades and dropped out after 2 years, then NEETed for 2 more years only to realize that I have to try again before it's too late.
Finished a 4 year degree just now,with decent grades, but I'm in my 30s and I'm afraid companies only want to recruit younger people at this point.
Good job dude, I don't know what you studied but you'll be fine. At least in tech people are just looking for people that can think, your age doesn't matter.
>what you studied
Mechanical engineering
its fine at least you'll get somewhere with your job experience assuming you don't frick up.
now going throught the same situation but without a job or a career to pursuit or goals to achieve that's when it gets too much to bear
I wish I had an idea of what to do with my life and something to work towards back then. Now I watch my few friends make great strides in their life while I sit in the same spot I've been in for the past few years. And I only have myself to blame.
why didn't you do anything? do you not have any hobbies or non-work skills?
yummy cake
whats the deal with the message in the lower left, seems a bit mean
Is anyone else anxious to post their own thoughts and story here because you don't feel like you fit in even on an anonymous image board?
I'm more scared of doxing
No, I would post the shit that has happened to me if people didn't think it was fake with how outrageous it is.
I used to be like that when i was young back in 2007.
I legit lurked for 2 years before posting because I was extremely anxious of posting on an anonymous imageboard and what others would think.
Thinking back, It was fricking moronic.
That was also the culture of this site at the time, before it took a heavy nose dive that year.
If you're that far gone consider alcohol and drugs.
>implying you can afford them if you're that awkward
uhh sorry anon
No, people are all kinds of weird, and this circus is a lot more honest.
I enjoy reading 100s and 100s of stories without acknowledging or interacting with any of them. Im happy to toss mine on the pile in the slim hope others will enjoy mine too.
I find lurkers disgusting and you should all consider yourselves called out.
You're too cowardly to reply.
No, I'm completely fine with pwning you, noob
>when you haven't posted since 2007
you share your story and move on, speaking your thoughts to other losers like yourself should in theory make you feel better
If you have problem to socialize and are over 18 years old just go drinking into bar.. hur dur it is degenerate.. Sure so is your style of living. after 3 beers you will talk to random people.
On my 19 and 20 birthdays I told my parents I was going off partying and instead bought a full night at a pc cafe and played WoW and watched sitcoms.
why doesn't everyone itt just make friends with each other
I hate all of you because you remind me too much of myself
Why would I want to be friends with people like me?
they'd realize why they don't have any friends in the first place, because they're insufferable
Stop describing my D&D group.
>they
haha yes, all these losers at Ganker.org (except for me!) are insufferable.
i dont have any friends and i am completely okay with that
It won´t work.
I want problems, not solutions
we're better off as fellow anons.
Every time I've tried playing with v or vg people, they ended up being the worst degenerates drama magnet I've seen.
>talking about porn while waiting for a dungeon queue
>anon did I tell you I'm into used diapers? Sometimes I dig out used diapers from the trash. I love exchanging old diapers with the local community of gays
>wtf anon
>do you wan to see pics
>NO
I had to block him. Similar stuff keeps happening. It's better to just stay as anonymous posts.
I am rather vary about connecting with random people from the internet, and in case things work out i can't even speak out until i move out from my family's house.
Case in point
There is a good reason we're anon and not with ID. /vg/ shows you what happen if you reveal your online life.
but how?
I made my current friend group off of a Ganker minecraft server, including my girlfriend. That said, the remaining people are all not Ganker users and instead their gamer friends who got invited because literally every Ganker user except for maybe 5 randos is a total fricking psycho in one way or another. You look at these threads with a lens of "oh, the people posting on here are just like me" but they aren't. I promise you they aren't. They're genuinely insane and their misery is 99% of their own making.
>they
Ganker hasn't had a native population since the 2000s. 99% of any modern userbase is reddit/facebook/other social media homosexuals with genuine psychosis and narcissism, among many other things
>They're genuinely insane and their misery is 99% of their own making.
This is true, but for me its subconscious, no matter where I go or what I do I'm always "the guy that hates everything" even when I try my hardest not to be a cynical piece of shit
HERE IT COMES
I haven't talked to someone that wasn't my parents or grandparents in years
>sweet 16
>9/11
jesus she's like 80 now
She could be my wife realistically.
>t. grand wizard

The hottest, most dick destroying woman I have ever met was a goth. I missed my shot but goddamn would she crush your pelvis and demand moar.

i hate Black folk so much holy shit
>blind moron doesn't know what an Indonesian is
People say that Black folk are same as us..
is there any context to this or just random Black person nonsense?
I love these threads to vent a bit. I hope all the anon find good friends
This. finding good friends is much important than finding friends
i removed my whole friends list on christmas.
even thinking about talking to someone just makes me have a panic attack now. it's fricking over
you're talking here with us, that's good I guess
Same to you brother
This thread makes me wonder how many people are lonely but just pretending on the outside. Must be more than half of all people.
Ganker has a statistical bias, but it's probably more than you think.
Even people who seem "happy" on the outside probably have to deal with it. Like they all have fake friends who just take advantage of each other just to not seem lonely.
A frickton.
Most people don't even have any actual friends among the people they surround themselves with, convincing themselves they aren't lonely.
It depends if it gets to you. I'm turning 30 and have no friends after a flash accusation a few years back and honestly I am absolutely golden. All I need is my family. I have no issue with social interaction I have just elected not to bother with friends and its fine.
I'm 20 and have had no friends since 2019. I have not gone out once, not even messaged anyone since then. I have never had a girlfriend and have never had sex. I just go to work and come home and play games or make music. I used to think about suicide daily when I was 18-19 but for some reason it stopped and I just don't give a single shit about anything anymore. Still would rather be dead, but I can cope with being a mindless slave until I die of old age. Time moves in a linear fashion at a constant speed, and I will die. I will be forgotten. And eventually, all of history will be permanantly erased when the universe reaches maximum entropy.
oh my god you're only 20 stop being so dramatic everyone in this thread is going to be forgotten probably like 0.01 seconds after they die it's no reason to be a doomer
I'm not being dramatic. Having zero friends and not going out at 20 is the fastest way to frick up your life. That's the truth.
No getting fingered by your dad is
im only a year older than you and we're probably much in the same boat and yes you are being dramatic. if you are so unhappy with life there is still so much time left to fix it. i'd be more inclined to say you are being reasonable if you were in ur 30s or 40s
i'm 27 and haven't had any friends who treated me with respect since probably 2004/05. I was always the whipping boy/loser friend.
Sorry for the unnecessary (You) but you reminded me of someone
>Made a new friend in college
>He's very short, almost a dwarf
>Never mentioned his height or made fun of him
>Treated him with a boring neutral stance
>2 years later he made friends with a group
>They are disrespecting the shit out of him
>Basically the butt of the joke
>Haven't talked to me since he met them
At least anons here aren't that desperate
Csnt handle the bantz
I was very short too. Now yo're scaring me. Although you're not talking about me since I went away to college for only two years. They would tease me then but it wasn't the same and I didn't enjoy their company so "I wouldn't say they were my friends although they probably would've considered me a friend.
Did you not banter back?
I definitely did. Made fun of them for being asian, shorter than me, fat, etc. I just don't like doing tha tshit, it's a waste of time.
Sure yeah, it's just annoying I agree.
You're 20 just keep working. Save some money, move, keep going.
Go to a fricking cooking class or something
Sounds like a communication issue to be honest, i doubt you actually have any close friendships with that mindset.
Remember Anons. The more you age the closer your parents get to death, even if you think they're still young lots of shit can happen.
>the closer your parents get to death
cant wait
God I hope so, I need them to die soon so I can inherit my mom's house and dad's inheritance.
>you will die in your lifetime
HURRY THE FRICK UP PETE, YOU FOUR LEGGED Black person
Kill me, Pete
>parents get to death
this shit probably gonna be owari da for me.
But I'm thinking about selling everything, leaving my country and living in some bum frick nowhere, at least some place where is sunny and summer all year long
Venting in this thread has been a catharsis for me as I don't have anyone else to chat to about it, thanks lads
I've had the eternal "too shy around strangers so people think I'm boring and too serious because I'm quiet and never invite me anywhere" problem since forever.
The irony is I'm one of the least serious when I get to know people and open up.
Just act sociable.
>be 34
>have smol but bedrock secure friends group
>have small but wider group related to hobby
It is okay - the wider group and I might gel more with more time but realistically the hobby keeps me in contact with civilisation. Otherwise i'd be even more of an office drone since I don't play golf.
>need to talk to people in order to improve my poor social skills
>people won’t talk to me because of my poor social skills
What the frick was God thinking when cursed with this loophole?
In case you haven't figured out by now, God is massive troll.
Like what is the first thing you do in a video game when you get control of a character? That's right, most likely you get it to do some dumb shit or act moronic on purpose.
That's God, except you are the character.
Go out join a sports team, you get in shape + social
>have no friends
>don't go out
>bad social skills
>act like a sperg
>everyone says to "just talk to people bro"
>go up to someone
>have nothing to say because i'm dysfunctional
>repeat the viscious cycle
I fricking hate those homosexuals that tell you to "just get yourself out there". If you are not well-adjusted by 18, you have no chance at being normal. You will never ever be normal if you haven't already found your place in society and established yourself in a solid circle of friends.
Here's better advice: learn small talk. Not "hows the weather?" but stuff that you can transition. "who" "what" "when" "where" "why" - not in that order, you have to follow depending on the convo. For instance:
"How was your weekend?"
If they give you an "it was OK" and don't follow up, say "what did you do?"
If they say "nothing" and don't follow up
"Not feeling up for anything or just held up? (AKA "why")"
If they curt response again "just didn't feel like it" - that's the third strike. Not interested in talking or just can't think of anything.
The next thing you do after 3 strikes is turn the spotlight to yourself.
"Well, my weekend was good/sucked and this is why."
Tell a story. If they don't bite on anything, you can try asking their opinion/thoughts on a subject in the story. If they STILL don't give you anything to work with, resign and move on.
Now, if at any point they start conversing and go into detail then you listen to their story and poach for details asking the who what when where why
>Tell a story.
See, this is what socialising is all about. But if you have no experiences then you have frick all to talk about and just look like a boring c**t. And then because you can't connect with anyone, you make no experiences, and the cycle continues.
How do you talk to complete strangers if you don't have any social skills?
The fact you won´t reply proves me right, There is nothing inside on you to actually offer to others so you run from actual commitment, you superficial orange frick, i hope you die as alone as me.
Hello 🙂
>orange
I'm not Donald Trump
I've developed a close knit group of friends so I'm not just with my parents for birthdays. We're all varying degrees of fricking loser nerd so it all works out. Misery loves company!
25 years old, no friends since middle school. Ganker is the only contact I have with other people.
I hear bits and pieces about people I went to school with and they're getting married, moving around the country, making headway in their careers, etc. Meanwhile I'm still living at home, and haven't even held a woman's hand before.
I am pretty content with this, but only because I still feel like a 'young' man. I'm worried that I'll feel absolutely miserable about this when I turn 30.
>I'm worried that I'll feel absolutely miserable about this when I turn 30.
You will, trust me, I was in the same boat and as soon as you hit 30 everything changes, you've still got time to do something. Don't end up like me.
Well, what happens is that your body starts breaking down and it's increasingly harder to get a girlfriend that's not awful. That's about all. You have a lot more opportunities right now you won't have when you're part 40.
I don't like birthdays because people tell me I should like them all the time.
>turned 29 last year
>didn't realise it was my birthday until late afternoon
It was liberating
>for a great time call:
That is me - i'll take your paragliding and be wingman
>all these recluse anons
Do you guys like, not even go out to buy food?
Do you mean like groceries or restaurants?
Groceries are just fine, but I avoid restaurants because I don't want to interact with waiters.
I only like those types where you just have a machine to order and all you need to do is hand out your receipt.
I meant groceries, and in a more general sense buying necessities and other required interactions to function in a society.
Yeah I don't mean as way of socialising but it seriously sound like some anons are basically hermits
With self check out you can never interact with anyone.
Thar said, not sure how they keep getting neetbux
I don't think i've ever seen people randomly striking a conversation in a shop or a mall
its actually my bday today
im 27 now
I ghosted all my friends cause of shit life circumstances but I’m trying to pick up the pieces
happy birthday anon, somebody out there cares
Thanks Gankerros
And I’ll be your guy, friend.
omedetou
For this brief moment in time, this snapshot of reality. this snippet of consciousness I will be your buddy, guy.
Happy birthday gayet, don't overindulge would you?
happy birthday anon, I know how it is to be totally alone on a bday.
Happy birthday! Hope you have a good night man
Happy birthday anon. We're all alone together here.
I’m being filtered out in the interview process by
>yeah he’s really experienced but he’s off putting and ugly
Lmao
And I got my wizard powers a few months ago
>be normalgay
>hey we should do x again sometime!
>never at any point in your existence do x again
why do they do this?
It's just courtesy.
like how you ask "how are you" and never caring about the answer
I saw an old coworker/family friend today I haven’t seen in almost a year and he did this exact shit. It pisses me off more than just not bringing it up
heh you get it
This only ever works with women you want to frick, because you're the one who has to keep on being persistent.
Outside that, nobody wants to put in the effort.
To those low confidence anons, it's it nothing but fake it till you make it.
Just pretend you're confident. Think of topics you're going to bring up, something you an talk about at length if encouraged.
I just pretended I was confident until I was.
I wish I could but any time I try to even pretend that I'm anything but dirt, my brain goes into overdrive to remind me that I'm nothing. Doesn't help that I'm a boring sperg.
I can actually feel myself straining when I'm trying to force myself to socialize with people I don't already know.
lmao yeah, a girl working in a store liked my shirt and asked where i bought it from and I felt physical pain saying the website before shuffling off awkwardly
>37
>No friends
>No relationship experience
>NEET for the last year
I still feel fine, because my sister and brother in law have been going through a lot lately and have needed me to help with the kids a lot. I'm practically a second dad to them now, and it's kind of nice. I don't mind being alone but having a taste of what I could never have is always interesting.
I still think people in relationships are fricking crazy though.
mfw mom encouraged me to ask popular girl for a dance and she was shocked and kinda disgusted
mfw i asked her ten years later to a prom and she was down, but genuinely couldnt bcs of her college exams
i still despise my mother for realizing her son was ugly fat frick and shouldnt be allowed to talk to cunnies
xd
edit: for not
You were like 6, get over it.
>try to find friends (online)
>actual friends, people I don't need to hide or or omit anything from, those entirely on the same page
>for me, that's extremely fricking difficult
>still partially succeed
>keep overthinking everything, feel like our views are still too different in places and/or that it may fall apart any minute
I probably shouldn't have friends.
>still partially succeed
How did you go about finding friends online?
I'm pretty much a ghost online but still float around various places relevant to my interests. In some cases I see people with interests/opinions/etc. similar to mine, and if there's an opportunity to contact them directly, I might take it. Without being too pushy. But I've only done it like 3 times, really.
The reason it still feels like it's not quite working out is just a me problem.
>31 yo
>Some people think I'm 5-7 years younger, some even think I just got out of high school
>But have 0 social skills
>Found out that some girls found me attractive when it was too late
Life plays heavy jokes on me
Mind if I download your image? You can have mine.
Girls used to “ask me out to prank their friends” when I was in HS
Then when I was 21 I finally got a Facebook official girlfriend but she found me too ugly to frick and was using me as a practice boyfriend I guess
Now I’m 30 virgin and feel pain if I think I see her
Does anyone want a friend to play Switch games.
what games
What do you offer, anon...
im gonna be honest im a poorgay who only has mario kart so i was just going to judge you based on what games you said
Why would you betray me like this anon.
Also I do have Mario Kart, so we can still do that.
I had friends once. I hated it.
Multiplayer games are always "make your own fun" cope and best ignored.
I'm an online ghost. Have had people come up to me before confused because they couldn't even find me on Facebook. I don't care about that shit.
This.
>Delete my Facebook account that some friends pretty much demanded I make years ago
>Now people act like I'm an alien because I don't have one of those shitty things anymore.
Do you guys even want to live like normal people? Seems to me that most of you like being like this you just recognize that this style of living coming with being lonely. There enough social rejects and people who live outside of the mainstream society and still get to find love and all that. If you really wanted 99% of you could live semi-normal life.
>Do you guys even want to live like normal people?
I really don´t. Frick normalcy.
I want to live like fictional people. Unironically. Real life is fricking dull, and NPC normalhomosexualry makes me absolutely sick.
It is impossible for someone like me to be reintroduced into society and integrate fully.
>b-but-
No. You don't understand.
I would like someone to chat to at least, but I just don't fit in anywhere
We're pretty much menheras I guess
I feel like my family fricked things up harder than average, so having an average normal life seems like a pleasant idea.
Honestly I do not. That is a whole 'nother world which I genuinely don't understand, and don't think I ever will. It's Saturday night, and I have NO IDEA what normal people do on a Saturday night for fun. I truly can not tell you.
look up the word "hobby" and really study its definition and examples. THAT is what people do on saturdays. with other people. do you really seriously not understand that???
I don't want to have a normal people life, but i do want someone who shares the same interests and is just as reclusive.
I know it's a paradox, because you're never going to meet anyone if you don't get out.
>but i do want someone who shares the same interests and is just as reclusive.
I think most of us here want the same thing, its a shame that this thread will soon drift off past page 10 and we all go back to shitting up Ganker
That ship sailed many years ago
If you have a way of undoing 15 years of social rejection i'm all ears.
>Do you guys even want to live like normal people?
The best argument for hermit mode is spending a week of average normalhomosexualry.
That is definitely true. But I think it is healthy to do it and meet people. I try to meet people at least once per week or every two weeks because it reminds me that my life is not that bad, and well, you need to be outside to meet chicks. Unless you are some top model that can pull off dating apps,
What gets me is how much older the parents are from their kids in these photos. This last generation's parents had kids way later than usual.
There's nothing wrong with having no friends. Some people like to be left aone. Don't let society tell you otherwise.
Besides, playing with randoms is fun. I have a ton of online "friends" that I play vidya with online and it's not that bad.
I want to redo high school, but without all the pretend bullshit, having to worry about my image and trying to impress some girls that just end up friendzoning me.
I could've used the time to develop some skill, like another language or programming.
There's no going back anon. We have to live with our mistakes.
Oh look at you, being so helpful to random strangers, yet you never had some time to make to talk to your "good" friend. Frick you c**t. You deserve anything bad which happened to you during my abscence. Believe me, the worst is yet to fricking come.
Anon, I don't know if you're just being a piece of shit and trying to take out your frustrations on some depressed people or if you're completely insane and think someone you know is here.
Goodnite bros. It's been fun sharing our misery together.
one day some anon from these threads will have the guts to drop their steam profile or discord
