Nope.

Depends.

Does /jp/ count as a friend?

Nah. I avoid pseudonymous communities like the plague.

Fuck having an identity and being responsible for my actions.

>>8411990
yep
but why the question


i hope this isn't a @ I am depressed @ thread

Actually, yes.

exciting information, isn't it?

>>8412001
No

>>8412010
Damn.

Yes.

I did once, but then I got dumped for more exciting people.

you guys are my friends right ?

>>8412024
I'm your friend!

No, but I talk to myself a lot, especially on the textboards, and if I posted something months ago it feels like someone else posted it. Often times I don't remember posting something (at all) but I can only conclude it was me who posted it from the style. This way I can have meaningful conversations with myself.

>>8412038
I do that too. I'm so good at samefagging that sometimes I manage to cheat myself into thinking I'm multiple people.

I do. Just like two though, and one of them barely count. I wish I had some people to talk to casually on msn/skype whatever. Doesn't have to be anything special, just chit-chat about Touhou and music.

Nut I will barely get any friends like that because for that you need to like, post on forums and stuff. And that gives me anxiety attacks.

No, for some reason everyone runs away from me when I whip out my dick.

Not really. ;_; I get too nervous on forums where I have a name, account and everything, and anyone can see what I do, not that they would care or bother to look. And some friends on Steam but we never talk. I am too scared to participate in the group chats.

>>8412086
Goddamn. How much of a fucking pussy can a person be?

Nobody really gives a shit about anything anyone else does for more than 10 seconds. You're just another faggot in their eyes no matter what you do so you have nothing to lose.

>>8412140
What's weird is that I felt this way then "grew into" being anxious online, which feels backwards. I used to use my real name and say whatever and not give a fuck. Now I'm paranoid and anything that could jeopardize my real life identity or cannot be deleted permanently means I have to leave. I have to.

I have perhaps a handful of online friends that I remain in contact with. Mostly we just play shitty MMOs together until endgame content runs dry. Only one of them is really /jp/ material though.

>>8412153
But your real life identity is probably even shittier than your online one could ever be.

I can't handle non-anonymous environments so no.

I used to have one, but he got a real life and joined the army.
I haven't been the same since.

>>8412048
I would be your friend, anonymous. Unfortunately I don't use skype nor do I feel comfortable publicly posting what little online contact info I have.

Just one. Met him right here on /jp/.

I would love to, but I don't any place where I could make one and it isn't place where people know each other from real life, because none of my friends likes Touhou or anything otaku related.

>>8412206
Just make a makeshift hotmail/live account.
I'll add you on msn with my own makeshift one
and if it turns to shit or whatever we'll just pretend it never happened and never talk again.

It's up to you.

No i dont have any internet friends nor do i have irl friends... At least i have 4chan.

I was lucky to make a bunch of internet friends before I became unable to make new friends.

No. I don't need friends. Anonymous posting is all the social time I need.

I keep trying to join visual novel communities in my own language, but am always terribly afraid of what people would think of my tastes and favorite games, nevermind that I also play nukige and that's a big no-no in elitist communities who like to shit on everything to be cool.
I'm a grown man and I realize this iss really embarassing but I can't help it.

>>8412306

Don't worry Homura, ZUN!bar will be your friend.

50.23.212.53:6859

come join my teamspeak server

zero

i have lots of le friends from reddit :)

they also introduced me to le /jp/

>>8412359
Weird thing is that /jp/ is full of elitists who rarely shit on nukige.

I used to have good internet friends when I raided in WoW a few years ago. Then we started to drift apart as the months go by. Now I don't know why I bother having Windows Live or Steam up...nobody sent me a message in a long time

I don't seem to do anything to make internet friends. I never really become active in any communities, sign up for forums or have anything to talk about with people on my friends lists.

A lot of the time i don't even post much on /jp/ because i know my posts won't make a difference or contribute to anything. I hate writing out a post and then sitting afraid to post before erasing it all.

Lately I've tried flipping a coin to make decisions for me, here goes.

Yeah I do.

>>8412406

>I also play nukige and that's a big no-no in elitist communities

>>8412442
I wish I had posted ITT so you'd have said that to me too...

I had some nice people in my WoW guild, but once I quit, I never heard from them again.
I'm too awkward to make friends in the online games I play these days.

I'm very active at some communities and forums, but I never seem to make any friends at all. People somehow start using IM, going to other websites together, playing games etc but I'm always left behind. I suddenly start seeing how people mention stuff that's nowhere in the boards and I feel betrayed. I feel totally ignored, like I'm just noise in the background ;_;
This happens to me even in /jp/, which is by far the most compatible with my personality. But at least here, I can partially blame anonymity. It's impossible anyone would reach to me when nobody can tell me apart. When I'm on a normal community, I can't help but keep wondering why nobody likes me ;_;

I totally want to have internet friends from /jp/, but I'm really afraid. How can we do it?

>>8412457
Not as bad as having posted in this thread, yet still not getting it said to you.

>>8412726
I know that feel.

I honestly just met up with an Internet friend over this weekend. Went to a couple of gigs, such as Portal which is this pic.

>>8412038
>>8412046
Developing multiple personalities?

>>8412716
It would be hard because if you start using a trip, other will hate you.
...It's almost impossible, unless you exchange addresses with another anon.

>>8412716
Maybe you are doing something wrong

>>8412757
By addresses, I meant e-mail addresses of course.

>>8412716
You wanna be internet friends?
I kinda want a interweb penpal.

>>8411990
add me on steam. name ---->[Pothocket]
its always cool to chat away with someone you dont know. its like you dont have to be so fake and can just say whatevers on you chest.

>>8412716
You can always have these one-time conversations.
You know you are with good people (excluding the shitposters, of course!)
You ARE internet friends with /jp/ anonymous.
What else do you need?

I run steam like 24/7 so its easy to get ahold of me

>>8412716

I know this feel too well, man. I think I still have my msn account somewhere, maybe I could add you? You'd be my fourth contact ever, and the only unblocked one.

>>8412795
Same.

>>8412767
I thought that's what /jp/ was.

>>8412456
on /jp/ it might be fine but how many people do you see discussing nukige on not-anonymous imageboards?

Op add me you cheeky bastard!

I added a few people from /jp/ and other places to steam. We played a game once, and haven't talked for at least a year.

>>8412781
I would tell you mine, but it's a really shitty name that I've had it for like 5 years now and I can't be bothered to change it after all this time even though I hate it.

It's a /v/ meme.

>>8412716
I'd like to be your friend too anon. When I was a kid I often felt like this with irl friends. Like, you're that nice person who everyone knows and likes, but no-one seems to want to actually get to know you...

>>8412815
A names a name, nothing special.

>Log onto Steam after months due to this thread
>See a friend invite
>See this

I think it's a sign.

>>8412826
I don't think you understand just how shitty it is.

My steam name makes /jp/ look like a revered work of art.

>>8412836
They know.

>>8412836
Better than this or being stalked by that >night< guy form that shitty radio.

>>8412850
Why not just ignore him?

>>8411990

I have real friends and internet friends. I still browse this place.

>>8412870

>>8412843
I just cant imagine a name so bad as your describing, the best I can imagine is Fartknocker because that's the dumbest name i could think of.

>>8412843
I'm sure most people wouldn't even recognize something 5 years old.

>>8412868
Oh, I blocked him together with a bunch of people but they just keep coming.

>>8412877
They would since it's still used today since it's still pertinent.

Such a shitty company.

Almost everyone thinks I'm a nice person, and then hates me within seconds of getting to know me better. That's just how my personality is. I do have a couple real life friends though (all of them since middle school), but online it's almost impossible. I had one for a while (taught him some things) but then he disappeared as soon as I was done teaching. Whatever.

>Steam
Get ouf of /jp/, all of you.

>>8412843

You realize you can change it, right?

>>8412896
You can change your display name, but not the username that shows up in URLs and such.
Sucks because everything is taken and you can't transfer games from one username to another.

>>8412908
You can change your Steam Id and custom URL.

Nobody sees your login user.

I have 4 friends on steam. Actually I only chat with one, a single time in a month.

I've always wondered, can two people have the same display name on steam?

I've changed it to some pretty common names and have never gotten an error.

>>8412908
people can't see the actual log-in name you use. also, yes you can change the url name which you link to people. change the custom url in the profile option.

>>8412892

This applies to me too. As soon as people get to know me, they start hating me. I don't particularly care, but it feels kind of bad when I think that my favourite touhous would despise me.

>>8412919
I've been in games where someone would change their name to match another player's name then proceed to act like a dick so that both of them get kicked.

>>8412929
That's pretty disappointing. I thought my display name was a lucky grab.

friends r for fagetts

I once joined a sever where people had names similar to mine hotpocket leanpocket and me pothocket. I was pretty proud in that moment.

I have a couple I'm pretty close with, certainly closer than with anyone I've known in real life. But because of that I can be pretty clingy with them and I worry they see me as a burden, even if they assure me otherwise. I'd like to have more people I could talk to both for the sake of having friends in itself, and so I don't have to focus exclusively on my two current friends as much.

Used to, several years ago. I was a part of a caustic, insular and decaying online community that was originally based on a DOS-based game creation system. Most of them were the type to stab you in the back if not in the face, so after that I simply didn't bother with online communities again.

>>8412943
Blocked.
>>8412929
I oncejoined a game and there was someone with the same name as me.
Worst day of my life.

Somebody should make a /jp/ Steam group that doesn't involve shitposting and obvious underage faggots.

I imagine people would be a lot less nervous to join a group as opposed to individually adding friends.

>>8412960
any post i don't like is a shitpost so you're a shitposter. /jp/ already has a couple different communties, but if we make one that doesn't allow shitposters then you aren't allowed

>>8412946
I know what you mean about getting clingy.
I really worry about doing something that'll make piss them off, or make them tire of my shit.

>>8412960
I'd start it if it weren't for the fact that I shitpost at least once daily.

>>8412973

>>8412943
This is like the 3rd or 4th time ive seen your steam id in a /jp/ thread within this past week. Are you like desperate for attention or something?

>>8412985
he's right, you know

"shitposter" is just slang for "I don't like you and I am going to try to get everyone else here to not like you, too"

>>8412946
>>8412976
Sometimes I wish I had a clingy friend, just so I could feel that somewhere out there, there's a person who sees me as important to them.

>>8412990
take one really good guess and I'll tell you if you're right

>>8412994
Exactly.
The feeling of being needed is a great one.

>>8412985
of course the shitposter who complains about shitposters is from /g/. the fact you're from /g/ only proves you're a shitposter.
