Play videogames you'll make friends.

Hahaha I knew that would come back to haunt me. I didn’t actually do it. That post was aimed at 1 person that treated me like shit
TedTheMan
You are cool. Just pretend people are you friends and start talking to them.
LOKI75
Hang in there , brother... message if u need to talk, no worries, no judgement...
derkosak
so, are you bragging?
shityouhate
Yes. I’m bragging that I’m lonely. Don’t you want to be me?
bdawk202020
Which is it, the title says you feel down but you end it by saying you don't give a shit...?
KaminaShiroe
Sad that he isn't capable of giving a shit anymore?
shityouhate
No I meant I shouldn’t give a shit. Guess I didn’t articulate correctly
shutsman
If you don't care then what's the problem?
shityouhate
Goddamn I wasn’t expecting this to be seen so much tbh. Thanks for all the support. Just hitting a rough patch I think. Plot twist:
shityouhate
I’m actually a girl haha

Buy a mansion in Scotland. Live alone for 50 years. Yell occasionally at kids. Profit.
shityouhate
If only... lol
YeahDaddySpinOnMyAss
Jujitsu or something? I’ve never seen a gym of people who aren’t genuinely bonded. Martial arts does that to people, never too old to learn
shityouhate
I’ve always wanted to try that but the funds are low. It’s super expensive in SoCal
YeahDaddySpinOnMyAss
For classes and clothes? Surely it can’t be that expensive

Hi! *waves*
shityouhate
Hi! :)
Myfamilyjewelshaveascendedinsidemeturnedintoovariesandexploded
Wanna be friends?
shityouhate
Sure! Pm me?
hehmadeyoulook
Film yourself lifting stuff, say your place is haunted, you'll make a killing!
shityouhate
I’ve thought about doing that but I’m super shy and can’t bring myself to put myself out there like that
hehmadeyoulook
You could get a friend to host it, but you're invisible so no one will be able to see you, it's a win/ win!
gurglingsteak
Man there are a lot of these posts on here. Idea, all of you should start communicating and possibly some of you find friends!?!?!?
shityouhate
I think that’s what we’re all trying to passively do but we’re all introverted af
Chakra5
hellooooo??!, ..._imgurrrr_!! ;-)
gurglingsteak
True...connecting directly I should have said
Chakra5
indeed. I gotcha, sorry for being that way :-) Couldn't pass it up
Chakra5
mostly to do that jack sparrow imitation in my head really
BirdGuyJosh
Op, have you thought about volunteering somewhere? Even if its just a couple hours per week. It is great therapy and gets you meeting people
shityouhate
That is a great idea. I tend to do this awesome thing where I get depressed and just dwell on it. Working on not doing that
BirdGuyJosh
I do volunteer work twice a week and its the best choice i ever made. Got me out of the house, interacting with people and i learn a lot 1/2
BirdGuyJosh
Ive changed so much since starting it. Im so much more confident because of it. Have a look round locally and see what you can find :)
shityouhate
I will def do that. Do you have any recommendations for a good way to start? Or what to look for?
BirdGuyJosh
See if theres anything that interests you. If there is then drop them an email and explain that youre looming to do some volunteering 1/2
kinggoosethefirst
Plenty of ways OP. Have a hobby? Hang out where others do it. Regular a pub a few nights a week and you'll meet people. Imgur is a good strt
ImACraftyHooker
I'm 27 and my hobby is knitting and crochet, I don't like the pub scene but it would be nice to meet people younger than 60.
shityouhate
I tried knitting and really enjoyed it but it took to damn long and I lost patience. I have a half of a scarf in my closet from 3 yrs ago
ImACraftyHooker
Sounds about right, I have more half finished projects than I care to admit
shityouhate
I think it’s because we live in an instant gratification society. We want everything to be down now not later
shityouhate
Thanks for the advice. Don’t mean to sound shitty but I’m not really good at anything and have a kid so bars during the week don’t work lol
Valentijn101
Do something together with your kid where you van meet other dads.
shityouhate
Mom here. I’ve tried to talk to other moms at school and stuff but here in SoCal they’re kind of... not very nice...
ImACraftyHooker
Mom here too. It's not just SoCal. Mom's are the most judgmental bullies I've met, even here in Canada.
shityouhate
I don’t get it. Doesn’t everyone want friends and to be accepted deep down? What do you gain from being a bitch to other moms ya know?
Mjrdrous
I feel the same way @Op. 30 years old and only 3 friends, two of which live in other states now, and the one in the same town is a homebody.
shityouhate
I moved around a lot my whole life so never developed long term friends. Now everyone has long term friends that they would rather chill wit
Mjrdrous
Lots of people move around and have no problem making new friends from work or from some hobby. My hobby is softball, and my softball 1/2
Mjrdrous
2/2 “buddies” and I don’t hang out after the season is over... Winter season sucks hard for me.
shityouhate
Yeah I know. Making friends has always been very difficult for me. Not sure why
Chakra5
Groups. There are tons of ways to join activity groups. You are doing a thing, and can meet people as the side deal. Meetup is a good option
Chakra5
also, start by listening and then making a small comment of understanding. Dig what they are saying if it's at all interesting. /1
Chakra5
Show happiness that they have shared. /2
shityouhate
Thanks for the advice. I like to think I’m a good listener lol but I think ppl get bored of me. When I make friends they don’t last long
Chakra5
real friendship is rare bro. Never hurts to check your own game though. I know I talk WAY too real a lot. /1
Chakra5
'How are you doing?' usually gets a true answer. Gotta keep working on that ;-) /2
RumbleNtheJungle
You might need to take a more active role in your life instead of just passively letting your days go buy.
shityouhate
Yes. I completely agree. As stupid as it is I just want people to like me but I’m so paralyzed by fear that they won’t that I do nothing
RumbleNtheJungle
Just be nice and friendly. Can’t make people like you. But that should keep them from disliking you.
RumbleNtheJungle
Easy to be passive. Do what we are told at work. Get home veg out in front of the tv. Whatever your kid wants. And you get in that habit.
shityouhate
Yeah I definitely think that’s what’s happening. I’ve fallen into a routine that I’m not happy with.
RumbleNtheJungle
Good luck getting out of it. Make a few decisions on your own and follow through with them. Should help.
shityouhate
Thank you I really appreciate it
