Discussion Has anyone here made friends outside of school/work?

[D. B. Gooner]

If so, how. It looks like I will neet for months now as a student since uni is cancelled in Serbia. I literally spent the last 3 summers all alone all day every day, I was kind of happy for uni to start again, I can't keep being this isolated.

I am a complete and total outcast

nope

 

[TheAbsoluteMaximum]

Not really. Making friends is fucking hard once you’re out of school

 

[Sir Waco]

I only have one online friend from inkwells.is but that doesn't count

Been out of school since the late 2000s and haven't made one amigo since then. The state of affairs socially here in burgerland can very lonesome and brutal

Yes, but only when I was much younger. Met them through various means. Parties, gym, conventions, arcade, through other friends, etc. Never really "tried" to make friends, it all just happened organically. Problem is, once you're over 25 or so your social opportunities fall off a cliff.

Also, keep in mind, I'm in my late 30s, and I made those friends in the 2000s, before everyone was hyper-introverted and terminally online.

I wish I was blackpilled when I started uni. I would've known it was my last chance at getting a social circle. It's over now.

 

[Bitter_And_Angry]

I've been isolated for so long that I've lost count. Sometimes I go weeks without leaving my house, but it doesn't affect me, socializing is difficult for me.

Most of those require having friends in the first place. I have no one to blame but myself, I was always very closed off and distant from my school friends, and would never want to hang out, naturally I lost all contact with them. I figured friends were something that will always be a given in life.

Yeah, that's very typical for a zoomer. Most zoomers would rather doomscroll on tiktok, watch netflix, or play fortnite than hang out with friends in real life.

I've said this before, but I've very lucky to have grown up when I did because I'm naturally an extrovert. The thought of growing up in today's hyper-introverted, socially oppressive conditions is deeply depressing.

 

[Subhuman Niceguy]

No, the pandemic probably had something to do with that. Also, I notice that normies at work seem to be more tribal than they were before the pandemic. Normies seem more desperate than ever for attention.

 

[poorenglishcel]

No one ever called or messaged me. Only ever had classmates at school.

 

[Emba]

Peers require a external reason these days.

 

[JKlancecaster069]

No I was only ever able to make friends in elementary school.
