That's an image of a polaroid, so just print it.
It's also an image of persona 4, so just get the PS2 emulator and fire it up.
If you mean having a fulfilling teenage life with friends and romance, you can't.
P4's anime is a very faithful adaptation of the story. I'd say it's even better because it adds some characterization for the protag, including his fears, which I think makes for a better character. The game is so padded with filler that you the story just sort of meanders for a while, so if you just want the story, the anime's perfectly fine.
One more thing. Make sure you're grabbing 4, and not 4 Golden. Golden's anime is pretty much a NG+, where the protag is coasting through everything with max stats, and the show's focused more on shenanigans than the plot.
I don't get how you expect to make friends without having something to relate to other people through. The vast majority of activities cost money and require consuming some sort of product. The only activities I can think of that aren't like that are sports/exercise of some sort. Even then you will probably have people chatting about athletic wear or whatever.
Consumption of media is not a trait. You can relate to others without needing to have anything in common. There's a distinction made; moronic consumerist != consumerists. Buying athletic wear has a function, an ultimate goal, buying plastic figurines made in chinese sweatshops, standing in line, etc, is not.
you can't
its over
you will never be truly happy
you will never have true friendship
you will never have a teen romance that carries to adult life
you will never have old photos showing you and your friends doing nice things
you will forever be trapped in your room
your parents will forever hate you
you will forever be a Ganker user
it isn't over
it never started
It started, it just ended before any of us were born.
Now we have to clean up the mess and accept that everything will be garbage for our entire lives.
I met some really good buddies in college. Go to communal areas, don't be afraid to chat and shit. If you want to be like a Persona protag, you also have to be the one initiating potential friendships.
I had something resembling this when I was part of a rowing team when I did my master's degree.
For the first time since childhood I was happy and then it ended, not unlike Persona 4 I suppose.
I almost regret going because it reminded me of what I had and am missing out on.
I joined a local boat club recently but it just wasn't the same. The people were nice but I just wasn't enjoying it at all so stopped going.
There's frick all to do in my city and I've not found anything to replace it with so I just sit in my room making model kits.
>what if I don't like other people
Never ever tier then.
I'm a natural shut in and I've made some good friends from just trying to talk to others when the chance arises, but I actually enjoy being around some people >they all seem to be lying, or playing some game instead of being genuine
Most people won't be 100% honest or genuine with you unless you start to click with them and that might take a lot of time since you're obviously a moron and won't take the first steps to opening up to others and making the first move
You're here forever anon
i was always open, then I stopped talking when I realized people like to do things like talk about others behind their backs (dishonorable) and attack family and friends even, it's amazing how they rationalize it too. step out to the larger scope and people can get in front of a crowd and say "i love you" "til death do us part" and then say never mind and divorce whenever they feel like it. Like I had a childhood friend this happened to, like a few months after their wedding. she just felt like leaving. and this is a friend who talked shit about his family, wrongly, behind his back. like mocking his brother just for what he ate even though he had allergy issues it turned out. I think our culture is evil on a basic level and evil is treated as normal, sorry.
If you're here, you can't.
You already know what it takes, you just won't.
Because you're lazy
because you're a coward
because you don't want it enough
The most socially adept and active man I have ever known had several things going for him: very attractive, was on a med-school track, had already built up a decent social network, and had a decent money thanks to his mother's wealth (didn't have to work to support himself through schooling). He was willing to work hard and had some genuine intelligence, though I think he's a shallow person overall, just masks it well.
I remember really wanting friends when I was a kid, then I finally got some, and it didn't live up to the hype. That's mainly because I was bullied and socially isolated, so my only experience with friendship was from fiction. Not to say I hated being around them, but once we drifted apart, I didn't see the need in making new friends, because I knew my ideal of friendship wasn't realistic.
Now I stay alone mostly by choice because I know my expectations of people and life in general aren't realistic.
you can't
that was 2009-11, cellphones were good enought for communication but still very limited, so hanging out with friends was still common and preffered over other youtube, netflix and other goyslop
and thats without taking into account inaba is a small town where everyone knows each other and Yu being a Chad that has girls aproaching to him first
Things like this happen in youth due to being forced to be around the same group of people for a while
High school, college and jobs when you’re young. It can happen when you’re older at work but people get busy with their individual lives and families
You need to get involved with a group setting, volunteer at places, join a sports/activity league, work at a place where there’s a lot of people
It involves a lot of social effort and motivation which you probably don’t have, usually there is someone who is the planner of the group who organizes hanging out and activities
When I was younger I worked at a golf course and a lot of the late teen early twenties grounds crew, pro shop, and clubhouse restaurant workers were friends
It was a great neutral meeting place because we could all meet up park and take one car and whoever was at the end of their shift would just tag along
Probably the most fun period of my life
I had a friend in high school. Maybe even two of them. We talked on every class annoying the teachers, played vidya together all day, etc.
Starting from university we started talking less and less, only through the internet until we didn't talk for years, only occasionally catching up.
Now I intentionally avoid contacting him because I'm embarrassed of having become a failure of an adult and absolutely dread the "so how you're doing/what do you work/how is the family" conversation. Let him have a good memory of me.
Here's something more depressing. I had a friend in elementary school, he was a guy from a really poor family, couldn't afford any vidya. I invited him once to play something on my SNES together and quickly became friends. He came over after school every single day and stayed until evening, probably to also avoid his shitty family. After elementary school this continued years into high school though we went to different ones. He knew my high school schedule so came over soon after I got home.
Eventually I got into PC gaming (we mostly played consoles before). Starcraft, Counter-Strike multiplayer, etc. Not something that you can play together (didn't have a second PC). He kept nagging me to play with him on consoles, so I started bullying him. Even hit him once because he was annoying me. So he just left and never came again. This was 15 years ago, I've never seen him ever since. I was such a little shit back then, didn't even care about it. Only started feeling bad about weeks later.
>no M*rie
Good.
you can't
But I want it
lm a 30 y/o dude and I would do anything to be 15 again
The secret is to have a really shitty teenage experience so life can only get better.
This is true. "Never again" are two words that come to mind
kwab
too late
It doesn't get better for most.
All we can do is try to improve ourselves by freeing ourselves from being enslaved by our flesh.
My cute wife Naoto!

Man social relationships suck ass irl, its all backstabbing and exploiting
Your social circle sounds pretty shit.
the steps to acquire this are out of your reach because you post here
I refuse to believe that
You want a bunch of morons who can't do anything without (You) being around?
yes
what do you want leadership roles to look like in fiction
it can't all be tard wrangling otherwise they wouldn't group up at all
i want to know what it feels like to have someone depend on me instead of the other way around yes
No you don't, trust me. It's a lot of work and if you frick it up once, they blame you forever.
Is there no satisfaction in it?
I don't like JRPGs that much but I'm interested in the story, should I force myself to play the game or just watch the anime?
P4's anime is a very faithful adaptation of the story. I'd say it's even better because it adds some characterization for the protag, including his fears, which I think makes for a better character. The game is so padded with filler that you the story just sort of meanders for a while, so if you just want the story, the anime's perfectly fine.
Thank you anon, downloading it now

>Golden's anime is pretty much a NG+
Which was really a brilliant move imo.
The true ending is a side story, sadly. But at least you get to watch it.
Be born a tall beautiful model looking guy in 90s Japan
Have "normal" interests, be attractive, and have confident while in highschool.
Elsewise, you never will.
Go to a gaming con, find people on their own, make a friend group with them
The only type of people going to cons are moronic consumerists.

I don't accept that
OP here.
Sorry guys meant to post this.
Wow what a boomer (it is better than Persona 4 though)
interact with people in real life, for starters
bro, yer a grown ass man, Op's probably 34 year old.. it's too late
Yeah but I'm bad at that
I'm 20
go back to school
How I graduated they won't accept me. Unless you mean college, I'm getting on that.
community college, night school
don't fall for the school loan israelites
I met some really good buddies in college. Go to communal areas, don't be afraid to chat and shit. If you want to be like a Persona protag, you also have to be the one initiating potential friendships.
Yeah I'll try and do that. Not very confident it will work though.
NO! No, that's not an option! Son of a b***h!
be reborn as a non-autistic person
Why didn't I ever think of that, thanks anon

Clean yourself up.
Go outside.
Take up a social hobby.
Speak to other people.
what if I don't like other people
they all seem to be lying, or playing some game instead of being genuine
can't be trusted tbh
take yer meds first
>makes you a sociopath
>breaks your dick

Never ever tier then.

Because you're lazy
because you're a coward
because you don't want it enough
Maybe that was true before but the game gave me a taste and now I cannot accept not having it.
If that were true you wouldn't be wasting time here anymore.
I will prove you wrong
Ganker is normie central bro
I saw some kids browsing it on the bus literally few hours ago.

If you got a job, hang out with coworkers.
If you're in school, hang out with classmates.
The grass is always greener on the other side. Don't take what you've got for granted.
>coworkers
nope

persona 4 made me forget that im a loner, and it made me think i had friends that cared about me
It already exists in real life.
Black Yosuke is perfect. He looks like a sleazy shithead you barely tolerate.
I can't even fathom how you do it in the age of social media.
it's just like Ganker except you have to watch your mouth
Do a shitload of acid and throw yourself head first into a CRT television.
you can't

I had something like this, but it ended after high school. Honestly that hurt more than just having a couple of friends throughout your whole life.
Be attractive and able to hold a conversation.
you will get to Roleplay as counterfeit Adachi-baby and you will like it, chud
But Adachi is sad and angry I don't want to be like him I want to be like Yu and have friends.
If you on this website then it's too late anon...
real life people are shit
I want them anyways
Almost 30, never had a real friend. I always wanted at LEAST 1 so bad.
I had a friend in high school. Maybe even two of them. We talked on every class annoying the teachers, played vidya together all day, etc.
Starting from university we started talking less and less, only through the internet until we didn't talk for years, only occasionally catching up.
Now I intentionally avoid contacting him because I'm embarrassed of having become a failure of an adult and absolutely dread the "so how you're doing/what do you work/how is the family" conversation. Let him have a good memory of me.
That's depressing anon
Here's something more depressing. I had a friend in elementary school, he was a guy from a really poor family, couldn't afford any vidya.
