What's it like to have friends?

its shit they just fuck up your routine and make you laugh about things instead

Dude just go talk to people who enjoy the same stuff you do, makings friends isnt hard buddy. You can do it if you put alittle effort in

samefagging my own post.

I have a fantasy where I go camping with a couple other people, a mix of girls and guys. We take a bunch of shots and go rafting on the river by the campsite. Then we all hang out by a fire and just talk. I dont want to get greedy because this would already be the best day of my life, but id also like to fuck any of the girls and pass out in a sleeping bag with them.

>tfw i doubt anything similar will ever happen

also why Veeky Forums bro

I don't know, this is the only board I go on. I figure Veeky Forums is the most likely to have actual lives outside of their hobby of choice.

those who have friends do not seek them, so it is those with out that must reach out first. All you need to make a friend is a topic you both like, where you can enjoy talking about or doing together u got this user just pick somthing you enjoy and go looking

I wouldn't know OP, I don't have any, I used to though in high school, and is somewhat true, overall they'd ruin my gains and drag me to someone's house where a bunch of stacies and weed would be passed around and I'd sit in the corner wishing I was at home playing video games. It'd be cool to meet people into vidya or other things that I'm into but I can't really see that happening.

Its kind of surreal to me that anyone would complain about that

Loool that one hits close to home

this is one of the saddest posts I've ever seen. holy shit i feel for you bro.

i've done this, it's weird when you gotta shit and make it discrete. didn't fuck anyone on the trip, desu, but that might have been kinda gross. camping in general is nasty.

Like ice cream with chocolate sauce. It makes the occasion better but you can get away with just eating the ice cream.

>you're the ice cream

It wasn't any fun for me. I'm not comfortable in large social situations with people I don't know, especially when everyone else in the group considers social interaction something incredibly natural that comes easily to them. I don't take any interest in smoking weed and watching cartoons or smoking weed and laughing about nothing for hours. Not that how I spend my time is any better, it's just more enjoyable for me.

> tfw you can't befriend all these lonely people and teach them how to be social and become their best friends

Sounds pretty perfect right? I could die on the way home and be completely satisfied. Ive started seeing improvements in my body but I don't think it really matters. The only thing I want is human interaction. Maybe once im aesthetic as fuck people will want to do stuff with me

fuck i just wana help you guys cus your all in such a shit place, Fight for what you want for fucksake please, Friends are so much easier to get than eating 25% below maintance or going to the gym everyday. THIS

dude trust me its harder than you think. i lived with a sperg (probably OP tier) and they just say too much shit that makes it uncomfortable. best you can get away with is probably one on one time with them, but you'll be yearning to chill with more interesting people. the second you place them in a group and take it upon yourself to socialize them you find it extremely hard to guide conversation to make them seem less awkward.

imagine you are carrying someone on your back to keep up with a group hiking up a mountain. a sperg is like that person having a gun and for some reason trying to shoot you in the foot. its annoying as fuck and eventually you give up.

>Friends are so much easier to get than eating 25% below maintance or going to the gym everyday

Not at all m8, friends are so fucking hard to get, it boggles my mind that for most people it happens completely effortlessly.

I dont understand what normies even do for fun. Social media would lead me to believe they have no actual hobbies. All I see girls doing is taking dumbass pictures with their other female friends, always in one of their houses. How do I even meet these people? I just don't get it

Well fuck, that kinda hurt to read. You know there's help out there, right?

I get you. I'd friend you if I didn't think you would fuck up my gains.

>have friends
>live 900 miles away
>write each other letters
>text
>phone calls
>send gifts just because
>visit each other
>hug
>say "I love you" and mean it
>"brother" "sister"
>not afraid of anywhere I go in life because I have found people that love and understand me

> they just say too much shit that makes it uncomfortable

Like what?

I know what it's like to help people who aren't good at socialising. I went from having no friends to loads, and did it without even getting fit. I have lots of acquaintances too. It's a process - not something that can be done overnight, but it's all about habits and learning to socialise effectively.

I want to benefit others in doing this, and have successfully done this on a few occasions. I want to continue doing it and help others, as well as being their friends.

...

Where? I can't afford nor do I want medical help.

I did some googling and apparently a lot of people my age meet friends through co-workers. Unfortunately all my co-workers are inner city trash crackheads, or fat old men. I work in a warehouse and make decent money considering no college

I am a frequent frog poster but what if we stopped making these depressing threads maybe Veeky Forums would be a bit more positive

Well get out of the city for starters. There's nothing for you there.

I only did this as a last resort because I lowkey want to just end it. I normally don't even open these threads, they make me too sad to lift

What the fuck did you just call me?

I dont live in the city. I have to drive kind of far just to get here. I was unemployed for months, this job probably temporarily saved my life.

What movie is this? Feels like a typical american teen movie. I think of an American Pie movie or something.

I don't know, I can't watch movies like that. I end up just turning them off because feels

It's all about meeting the right people m8. It's gotta be people you just gel with; don't try to force it with your current acquaintances if you're not friends already. That'll just lead to awkward silences and hurt feelings.

I'm not saying medication is the answer, just some form of social skills training could help. Sort of like how you treat people with social phobia.

Toplel.

here ill destory the mystery for you
1. Go to work
2. talk about other people
3. meet new people
4. Eat dinner/lunch together while talking about people
5. Drink and talk about each other
6. Other (hobbies)

When your social circle is big enough you spend ur entire time just talking about each other honestly.

Ice cream. And I'll say it again, ice cream.

Dude did u just call that dude icecream, thats not cool to far bro to far

It's uhh interesting.
I have had 2 good friends for a very long time.
Literally the only 2 people in my life i like at all
I met one playing video games and the other through him

The fucked up thing though. They kinda enabled me to not self improve

Every time they were not around for an extended period like a roadtrip or something i would double down on my work. I would be alot more productive and i would start working on my physique. Once my friends were around i would become happy and complacent.

They also motivated me though. My friends are a big factor in helping me lose weight.
Part of it is probably the daily insults of "Kill yourself you fat fuck"

Through my pathetic and very depressing childhood i developed a pretty good sense of humor. It's how i cope.

That makes it easier to make friends.

homophobic or racist things. gratuitously condescending things. they often try to pick on the one person helping them (which I get, they aren't comfortable with anyone else). constantly "joking" by telling fake stories that, especially for people just meeting them, are hard to tell are jokes. just examples of a couple spergs I've dealt with

I'll call you an ice cream too, you ice cream.

It's because people like me don't know what to talk about. Ive spent my entire life since middle school basically alone, I don't know what the fuck people talk about in person.

Ive been to one party ever, and I basically had to pretend I was drunk off my ass (until I actually got drunk off my ass) just to seem like I wasn't the creepy guy, but just a drunk guy.

Shut up faggotnigger I once fucked 4 girls in the ass and jizzed aids in a cat

Depends on you. I'm a NEET so it kinda fucks with my confidence hearing everyone tell stories and have people pay for you, I know they don't care, but I just hate being a freeloader. When I'm holding a stable job it's really fun sharing what you've got and doing something fun with group. Saving up for a Friday night to drop some acid and go on an adventure with a group of friends is literally one of the best things you can experience in life.

Acid is degenerate

I would actually kill for this experience. Im so desperate

I can try and make it work.

I'll teach them to socialise properly.

Feels awesome.

I have a lot of friends but only 2 best friends I would die for. They hold your secrets and are pretty much there for you whenever you need them.

>37717165
Never let go of them

what a faggot. you are probably a bender

Im thinking about waiting until the next hippie festival hits my city and trying to make friends with some earthy girls. I love hiking and traveling, they could probably help me fulfill my camping fantasy. Good or bad idea? I don't know if I have the physique yet to pull it off

>your secrets

this is why i don't like normies because they have weird secrets like getting molested or sucking someones dick by accident when they was drunk

Not to mention that none of your secrets are actually secrets. If you're gonna have friends just be there for the good times, that's all friends are for, don't bother playing their normie gossip games.

> just to seem like I wasn't the creepy guy
this highlights most of the issue, which is a confidence thing. you aren't creepy if you are holding a cup and able to smile and talk to people. i've had many a conversation with people who were clearly in the same boat as you. occasionally the convo would be shit and we'd part ways. you have to know that no one is keeping track of you and you can talk to 5 different people all about the exact same thing if that's what you want. failure is a meme that more social people simply handle better. having a shitty convo with someone shouldn't cause you to spiral into a depressive silent mode.

it's never really this aggressive, or else spergs would obviously realize it. it's thinks like "yea i've been there too" or "yea I fly planes" where its hard to tell that it isn't actually true. as for the offensive stuff that usually comes down to the crowd caring, so its hard for a new person to gauge when entering convo.

I don't think there is a method that'll work for everyone, but I respect your efforts and success. you're eliminating uncomfortable situations for everyone

>Muh distractions
Kek you guys and your excuses. My friends can be lazy as hell but it never stops me from hitting the gym.

Not true for me.

OP here. Thanks for talking to me guys. Pretty sad that a thread on a mongolian fishing forum was the highlight of my day
