It seems impossible tbh, too late for me
 
Nah, not impossible. I made friends at 25 who I still talk to . Just do things you enjoy and meet ppl who enjoy the same thing
 
it's basically impossible to develop legitimate friendships after you're out of school, the best you can hope for at this point is an acquaintance you occasionally have a beer or coffee with.
 
Who cares about friends I want bobs vegena

It’s hard but definitely possible.

Id sign up for jiu jitsu classes. It’s fun and you can make friends that way
 
so my only choice is finding a foid
 
Friends are useless.
 
Anything is possible, shoot for your dreams

Of course not, only acquaintances unless you are a chad.

To be fair when I turned twenty six I stopped believing in any concept of friends. As an I didn't believe friends exist pretty much. You have people who are acquaintances. And you can have fun, interesting, and exciting conversations and experiences with them But at the end of it, all, people do go home and that their own life, they're living. Attractive people are more socially accepted and liked compared to us. We are outcast. I'm not complaining about it. People fucking piss me off they're so annoying and they bore the shit out of me.
 
Yes. But you absolutely need things in common, you shouldn't be hoping to make and retain friendships with normies who are going to be entering family phase of their lifecycle in just a few years.
I am seeing my normie friends I've had since HS move into that phase now, and leading up to this point I was hanging out with them less and less, and that weekly night at the pub turned monthly, then it turned to just a phone call, and now, if I don't instigate, it's never; you drift apart.
The hardest part is going to be finding those people that you have much in common with. Most your life you've made friends from serendipity, you'd happen to go to the same school as somebody your age with similar life experience and you both liked pokemon or making fun of the bald fat school teacher who was probably a pedophile or just sat next to each other and that was how you made friends. Now you are an adult out of school, which school is probably one of the most artificial environments, and have more life experiences it really matters who you friend with.
Your best friend is probably in the same place mentally as you, as tacky as that sounds. Or they possibly might not exist, I can't say.
 
I think incels can become friends tbh but only incel with incel,i dont think an incel can become friend with a normie or chad NEVER ever
 
From my observations of the older generations (even my own generation), people don’t make lasting friendships beyond college at the latest. Around the age of 23 maximum.

A person’s roots and sense of identity are set in foundation by the end of adolescence. So, the end of high school for most. By the time your brain is fully developed (~25), you can no longer make true “ride or die” type friends; they will always be a side character you met “on the way.” You cannot equate them like family the way you could with your childhood friends because they weren’t there during your formative years.

I am going into my junior year of college and most people still hang out with the same friends they made as freshmen. The “friends” I made in college will never know who I truly am because they do not understand how I came to be.

I would even argue that true friendship doesn’t exist past your twenties. Take a look at people older than you. Your parents, maybe. They don’t “hang out” with friends. They perhaps schedule outings with them, but don’t hang out for the hell of it the way adolescents do. Adults don’t generally go grocery shopping together the way adolescents do. They don’t drive or walk around for no reason, they don’t just lounge around in each others houses, or sleepover unless there is a specific, planned reason.

It truly is sad, the decay of platonic friendship in our society. In the times of Plato, friends of virtue were of chief importance. Lovers will come and go, but bestie is supposed to be there for life. Not anymore in the postmodern world.
 
Trust me you dont want friends. This forum is better than meeting some normscum who wanna talk about sports and the fkn weather
 
Friends are useless.
if you have any irl friends as an inkwell, youre a fakecel cause noone would want to hang out with a real inkwell
 
I have seen/heard a good point that making friends when you are younger is easier because it is genuine, as you age people might just want something from you, never really know, also after school obviously harder too. School provides a place to make genuine friendships that you can never make again

Based post, never thought about the ride or die sort of thing, if I made friends with someone now they will have missed out on alot of my life and its more like a side character picked up along the way. I suppose it is similar to watching a TV show I think The Walking Dead is a good example of this, you care more about the original starting cast the newer characters just are not as exciting and dont have that feeling of being from the start.

That’s exactly it.

I’m reaching the age where people are drawing away from just “hanging out.” I’m still in college, but hard to believe nights of random loitering/exploring with friends, sleeping over for no reason, just passing time together, etc will stop happening. Already, most people want to schedule hang out sessions and orient them around something (like getting coffee). Soon, everyone will have more important things going on and no energy for spontaneity or troublemaking. Kind of makes sense why most young adults outgrow crime by the age of 25.

Growing up is sad. Incels never truly grow up because nothing “more important” than friends ever comes along. We will never know what it’s like to be the man of the house. Or what it’s like to come home with the light on, your beloved waiting. If an incel chooses a serious career, it will feel like a waste of life because there is nobody to enjoy the fruits of labor with.

Hell, I don’t quite blame normies for retreating from their social lives when they start to grow up. If I knew I would come home to a girl waiting for me in a happy home, I would never leave it.
 
I dont want Friends but a Girlfriend

I got bullied because of my height and I was a little non NT as a kid due to genetics and my parents raising me like an idiot, by the time I got the self awareness to socialise better I barely got to have spontaneous sleepovers etc. and it is over now, and yeah I dont blame normies for going to a girlfriend.

Same lol I would gladly have no friends and just a girlfriend since a girlfriend is kind of like a friend but better anyways, except if you have no hobbies job or friends then its impossible to get a gf lol

Do people actually even have friends in their 20s or am I coping? it seems like friends ditch each other when they get into relationships. One of my old friends is married at 24 and I haven't spoke to him in over 6 years.
