same here, i have no friends, not even online, i don't even talk to my parents other than them asking mundane questions. I feel like a man child with my family. Are you also doing nothing with your life and quiet 24/7? i find it to be too much of an effort to even open my mouth.

>>1049248
yes. the only thing I do is sleep and browse 4chan. I don't even want to say basic things such as "good morning" to the people I live with.

>that feel when non anonymous forums are full of normalfags talking about their gfs.

>>1049261
even here on 4chan I've tried posting as a tripfag (on another board) and I can't seem to fit it with other tripfags. also I don't when safe when I'm not posting anon.

>>1049261
Even anonymous forums have started doing that.

Not OP, by the way, but I know that feel. I'll start typing out a long winded message, and then reread it, decide I don't like it, and just lurk or say nothing of value.

I know that feel bro.
>Go on omegle with generic titty chart
>Find awesome girl
>Talk for over an hour about about life, vidja, music
>Gives me her email without me asking
>Haven't emailed her yet

GOD FUCK WHY DAMN
I hate myself.

Back when I used forums I always ended up as one of those old fuckers in positions of power who every new user probably hated, either a mod or just well known enough to do whatever the fuck.

>that feel when I can't emulate this at all in real life

>>1049272

I know, it seems we have no place safe from the normal hordes who want to tell everyone about everything. I say what is needed about the task at hand no more, no small talk.

same here, i mostly lurk and rarely post in threads, and when i do type shit out, most of the time i don't even post it.

HOLY SHIT I know exactly how you feel. On forums everyone just kind of ignores me and the only time I'm acknowledged is when someone's being polite. Even when I write out a huge well thought out, interesting post, everyone just ignores it.

Beta in real life, beta on the internet I guess. It's like normalfags have a secret code and anyone who doesn't use it is immediately exposed as a friendless loser. I don't understand how people can recognise this over the internet, but they somehow can.

>>1049258

what are you doing with your life if you don't mind me asking? What else are you doing once you browse 4chan? Want to keep in touch with hotmail over our shitty friendless lives?

>>1049282
Are you anxious in emailing her?

>>1049296
>forums
>normalfags

4chan is more normalfags than forums are in the 21st century. That shit is niche as fuck. The only less normalfag mode of communication is IRC.

>>1049305
Not niche forums, just general ones. Granted, the last time this happened was years ago on some teen forum, but yeah.

>>1049282
at least you got that far. I've tried talking to people on omegle and I usually pussy out after a few mins.

>>1049296
I know, I feel like there is something about the way I talk or something that makes people not want to talk to me.

>>1049297
send me an email if you want. disclaimer: I might start ignoring you if I become too afraid to talk to you.

>>1049296

in public I can imitate a normalfag pretty good (clothing and hygiene wise at least) but for some reason people can always figure out I'm the friendless loser. Can they smell our fear? is it some signal that just screams beta?

>>1049313
>years ago

There ya go. Forums have been decimated by social networking and more centralised sites like Reddit. Most of the population left using them is 4chan level of abnormal or below.

A lot of previously normalfag forums for music and such are ghost towns now.

You know that feeling when you're about to post but you feel like you would be annoying people by posting so soon after your last post or just sounding annoying in your post at all?

IGNORE IT!

>>1049325
I don't fucking know, man. I always think I'm acting perfectly normal as well, yet people just avoid me for some reason. I dress fine, I don't smell or anything, I'm not super ugly, I can act confident... what the fuck is it? Maybe we just release beta pheremones. Seriously though I have no idea at all.

>>1049321


trust me...do you really want to know about my sheltered life? I'll give you all the details, you can do it for me as well, it's up to you though, send me an e-mail as it's in the field.

>>1049338
If you could see it, you'd be able to fix it. It's the curse of the foreveralone that we can't even comprehend what's wrong with us.

>>1049325
>>1049338
>>1049347
OP here, so much this.

it's been like that my whole life. even my family members think I'm weird, hell my parents told me that they always thought I was going to turn out gay. they probably do think I'm gay.

OP, you probably have social skills, friends, a life, and everything. Stop complaining about nothing.

>>1049358
>mfw my mother told me she thinks I'm a psychopath

Felt pretty bad man.

>>1049365
Stop posting this exact fucking post day on day for fucking years you fucking asshole. I hate you more than anyone else in the world. Quit trying to bait people into your little pity party. We're all fucked up here, deal with it, faggot.

Jesus Christ.

>>1049347
>>1049358
Sometimes I think you're right and it's just extremely obvious, yet we just don't notice it. Honestly when I sit down and think about it seriously (like right now), I get slightly afraid that I'm actually slightly retarded. You know those retarded kids who were obviously slow, but not quite touched enough to be in the special class? They never seemed to notice. What if I have that degree of retardation, but socially instead of academically/cognitively? It's not like your parents would ever come out and say "hey son, you're retarded!" or anything. Oh god oh god

>>1049358

for me it was never really fitting in, even when I was younger I was the kid that watched everyone else play instead of playing himself.

I never understood the various teenage cliques and social groups, did they really believe in the tenants of the group or were they merely putting on a face for social reasons?

I tried to fit in, but it just seemed all fake and superficial.

>that feel when you post and the thread dies

>>1049371
hahaha wow,continue with your awesome life then

>>1049377

yes! I worry about that all the time. like what if I'm fucking autistic or some shit but no one ever told me and everyone knows and they just play along like I'm a normal person.

>>1049380
that happens to me so much.

>>1049377
Well yeah, that might be a harsh way of putting it, but basically that's the case. We don't have the natural social capability of your average person.

Makes sense you can't notice it yourself. If you could tell what the little things you're doing wrong are, you'd just stop doing them. It's the fact that your radar for that stuff is reduced that makes it hard in the first place.

>>1049371

haha it's no wonder why you have no friends, you focus way too much on this website you tend to see me post here constantly, get a life faggot.

>>1049371
OP here. just to clarify, this guy is not me.

>>1049377

oh god, I remember now around 1st or 2nd grade the school wanted to put me in the retarded class and put me on medicine for supposed add. My mom wouldn't let them. i do wonder how my life would be different if she had. Would I be a stupid normal? or just retarded with the same problems I have?

You seem to be talking to people fine to me OP.

I think you're just an attention whore.

>>1049420
see but I can only do it when I'm Anonymous

I've tried to talk to people as a tripfag and I always end up dropping trip and deleting my posts

God damnit r9k, I know all these feels
>tfw you put effort into posts, and they either get completely ignored or the thread dies immediately
>tfw when you're too beta to even post anonymously

>>1049432

I know that feel. On normal forums I guess I'm scared that somehow, someone is going to trace my posts back to real life me. Even if their perfectly legitimate (like game and tech forums)

>When I post. This kills the thread.
Every fucking time.

>>1049450
It's fucking terrible isn't it?

Especially when it's a well thought out and on-topic post

Sometimes I've tried adding anons and talking them on instant messengers. I figure it would be cool to have some anon friends whom with I share plenty of interests and experience.

>mfw the faggots are incapable of conversation and then I never see them online again. Because they've either blocked me, given up and never logged into their messenger again or shot themselves.

>that feel when you have a normal forum account that maybe has 20-30 posts over a couple years.

>that feel when another account that joined around the same time as you has a couple thousand.

>that feel when you don't see how it's possible.

>>1049463
THIS! I say 2 words to people, and then I get blocked. Idgi.

>online friends keep telling me about a girl they met online and have so many similarities
>keep rubbing in my face of how they found their soulmate
>I keep finding girls online that I can connect well with but each of them already have a boyfriend/don't seem interested in a relationship

Why can't I find my true love online as well?

>friendless faggots trying to befriend other friendless no lives that get surprised when they can't hold a conversation

There is nothing I can say other than you're all retarded.

>>1049454
In my experience it's just because of the boring normals, so don't feel too bad. They won't respond to anything that isn't trolling, meme-spamming, extremely stupid or intentionally trying to start up an argument. They don't respond to well-reasoned posts because they either can't be bothered to put any effort in beyond ad hominem attacks and catch phrases.

>>1049468

Virtually all of the online friends I have are those I met 10~ years ago, prior to the advent of mainstream social networking. Back in the day, you could make friends just by talking to people. Now, you can only make friends if that person is a friend of your Facebook friend, and you get introduced.

It's a really sad state of affairs.

I've offered for people to IM me before, and they do, but they say things like, "hey", and then that's where it ends; they don't ask questions and they don't tell me anything about themselves. --And so I simply let them go. I honestly don't have time to drag information out of people. If you want to talk, you better have something to say. It doesn't matter how awkwardly you say it--but if you want friends you need to have some kind of voice (and I'm saying this as a mute). Otherwise you're just an inanimate object.

If any of you want to chat (about anything; I'm extremely old and experienced), I'm always available at "RAFPCA" on AIM--but don't expect me to prod you; if you don't have more to say than "hey", don't bother.

And just an FYI: If you're looking for friends, 4chan, the site where being a "tripfag" is looked down upon, is a fucking terrible place to start. Of course it's impossible to make friends when you're anonymous. --And that's why I'm not anonymous. I have the trip not because I want to be a famous 4chan movie star, but so that you know that I'm the guy who owns 10 dildos before you consider IMing me.

>that feel when there is nothing you could say that would make me feel worse about myself

>>1049515
You're a gay submissive mute? Like, mute by choice or cannot speak mute

Do you think the theory of multiverses is vial? Imagine, that in a parallel universe you are an alpha normalfag getting his dick wet erryday.

>>1049559

I'm low-functioning autism mute. I'm not "submissive", though.

>>1049588

In my opinion as a physics expert, parallel universes don't exist--but there are many physicists out there who have been in the field longer than I have who believe that they do.

everyone loves me on the internet i'm super cool
irl i'm a socially retarded loser

>>1049514
>that feel when after years of being on 4chan you have a pessimistic outlook on most people

how many of you don't even talk in real life and have never been to a party, concert, rave, or even had a female friend?

>>1049601

>that feel when you hate everybody
>that feel when you are still too beta to tell them so.

>>1049325
it's because you act like a weird motherfucker
there is no secret mind reading power friendhavers have

>>1049595
Fuck off you stupid faggot fuck.

You may as well cut your dick off for all the use you can get out of it you autistic twat.

>>1049604

Sounds like me 100% and I'm 26 years old so all is hopeless now anyway.

>>1049595
You are submissive. You have your cock locked up and it only comes out when your master says it can

>>1049604

I went to one concert when I was 15, it was too loud and I hated the fuck out of it. I only went because I heard a girl I liked was going to be there (this was a local scene gig, not a big name band or anything) she never showed and I got pushed into the mosh pit.

>>1049622

That's sort of like saying that prisoners are submissive. The reason there's a lock and key is because I wouldn't listen to him otherwise.

>>1049613

I'll keep that in mind.

>That feel when you're an asshole without realizing

>>1049619
>>1049631

state who you are after you write back, but how have your lives been since your high school years? I'm 19 and just go out of high school last year, a little late because i was kicked out.

>>1049638
Same way you keep your bunghole clean every second of the day for him, right?
I'm not one of the haters either, I like you and I'm just saying how I see it

>>1049380
I consider it an art. You should too.

>>1049660

>>1049631

here, I'm now a 21 year old community college dropout foreveralone neet. The girl ended up thinking I was creepy fuck (seriously how bad do you have to be when an emo/goth chick thinks you're creepy?)

>>1049677

emo/goth chicks are no different than "normal" chicks.

>>1049689

she had a reputation of scraping the bottom of the barrel (she wasn't hot and was a landwhale) I just set my sights on her because I was being somewhat realistic about the type of girls I could get, even that was too high.

Oh god I never thought about it this much but now I'm panicking so much.
Fuck you OP seriously I was perfectly happy.

I don't think I've posted on a forum since I was like 14 though. Maybe I'd be different now.
And I've never really bothered talking to people when I play games apart from a couple of times.

Oh god I don't know.

As for IRL I have friends and go out like once a week. Although I haven't actually been out for like three weeks because I secretly hate everyone I'm friends with and wanted to isolate myself so I could use this time to learn an instrument and work out for like the next eight months till I go to sixth form college (going a year late, I'm 18)

I'm trembling I've never thought about it like this before.

Also practically 8/10 of my posts here get ignored. It's the worst feel imaginable.

>>1049708

Be lucky you can get any female attention. I'm 26 and never even befriended a female.

>>1049715

who says I befriended her, she straight out rejected me, didn't try any friendzone shit. I made last real attempt at 18 (another girl obviously), same result.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj7Hw00LUG4
this guy has emo girls all over him
why can't you pull this off

>>1049677

did you want to add my e-mail to keep in touch and talk about your shut in lifestyle? Sounds odd, but i'm sure you're a great shut in that has more of a life than me.

>>1049744

I don't leave the house save to take out the trash, I play vidya and am on the internet all night then sleep all day. I haven't talked to someone that wasn't a family member in real life for over a year. trust me I don't think it's possible to have less of a life than I do.

>>1049338

It's probably your body language that gives it away. You can act confident, but your body says otherwise.

>>1049788

I really wish I could mask that, I know that's what gives it away. I'm always so nervous in public I feel like they are vultures ready swoop at me for the tiniest mistake. I know it isn't true I'm still so uptight and unable to relax.

Do you think working out actually helps? I don't mean necessarily online, but more irl or just in general.

Does it make you more confident automatically if you're ripped?

>>1049835

I've never worked out, but unless you can change your mindset people can still see right through you.

>>1049835

yes, of course.
it wont fix your anxiety but it really helps with your confidence.
plus, it makes you feel good.

>>1049835
Of course it does, but being ripped only makes a difference if your only issues are physical. If it's mostly mental it can actually make it worse since people expect your personality to be alpha as fuck if you have a body to match.

>>1049760
my email is in the field. let me know a little more as i like talking to fellow shut ins and i can relate with everything you said...just send an email and i'll get back to it.

get a vpn bro

>>1049888

saved for later, the suns coming up and it's time for me to go to bed.

I know that feel op, it happens every where in real life life as well, over the last few years i've become increasingly detached from society and other people in general, I find it hard to relate to people and the same goes in reverse. Seems to be the older I get the harder it becomes to socialize. I won der if all loners experience something similar to this.

>>1049903

alright, just continue where we left off, or hell, tell me about your past life or high school life, whatever comes first, night man.

ahaha, I know that feel OP. It's silly, but I really envy how "popular" people can get on forums, especially when I've been there longer than said people. It's just bizarre. Maybe I'm compensating for being foreveralone IRL, I don't know.

every forum i've ever posted on i've either been really popular or gotten banned within a week or two
just act like an idiot and people will like you

>>1049928

I can't do that in real life and I can't do it on the internet. I'm far too serious of a person to even use an abbreviation, or to not have a well thought out post.

I'm pretty much this thread.

A few of you have mentioned working out, I just went to the gym and even though I felt a bit unwell from the strain I felt slightly better. Unfortunately a kilometer down the road as I was driving home I passed a couple of bars and the sight of the gorgeous girls that I will never meet just destroyed any boost the workout gave me.

It's quite often the case, that I am really easily discouraged whenever I find myself in a positive frame of mind, anyone else find this?

>>1050016

all the time, whenever I start to feel good I know life is about serve me another plate of "you think you could actually be normal? Nope here's some more shit"

or I see someone better than me (nearly everyone) and any good feelings i have vanish.

>>1050016

imo it's mostly just mindset problems.

For example, whenever I come here I pretty much nearly always leave here depressed because there's just so much negativity.

To be fair I'm in a shitty place atm.
18, NEET (until I get a job or go to college in september) most of my relatives think I'm a weird shut in, I've isolated myself completely from all my friends because I secretly hate them all, and I live in a shitty one bedroom flat with my dad.

But the good thing is we're moving into a nice house in the next month or so and then I have until September to improve myself as much as possible. Going to buy a gym set and work out. Learning the ukulele, trying to look for a part time job, improve sense of fashion, etc.

Of course the real bad thing is I'm still unbelievably TERRIBLE with girls and I secretly hate people in general and can't really relate to most people (I blame 4chan for this). I just hope my social ability doesn't worsen over extended periods of time in isolation.

But I know some crazy weird girl who's like 6-7/10 who knows how retarded I am and has offered to hang out with me and help me to not be retarded so I could take her up on that or whatever.

sorry ranted a bit. Kind of completely irrelevant to what I meant to post about, actually, but I don't really talk about my situation so yeah.

But yeah. Mindset. Avoid negativity.

>>1050135

I really try to think positive, it's just so hard controlling your thoughts though!

>Tell yourself not to think something and see if you think it lelele

This girl sounds like a god send, I've never had anyone IRL offer to do that for me (only a couple of people "if we ever met" from the other side of the country...it's a big country), I think it's timely in so much that you're only 18 so you haven't missed out on too much yet, very encouraging.

>>1050159
yeah I know what you mean, it's harder than it sounds to be positive all the time. But it's better in the long run. Negativity is pointless.

The worst thing is when you just stagnate in the same situation for months and months though, right? As long as you're doing something positive I suppose it doesn't matter whether you're thinking negative things or positive things.

Yeah, it's encouraging. It's a long story though. Known her for years and years and never actually had the balls to talk to her irl (she was in my school ;_;) but that's the typical r9k story I guess.

I have old and trusted friends in real life

But I've never fit in any online community

I played an alien vs predator MUD for four years and everybody thought I'm weird because I hardly talked to anyone

so yeah I know that feel

I know that feel all too well.

Well, at least I'm not as beta as /r9k/

I used to have the same problem until I sat around for a year and observed everyone's interactions and came up with a fool-proof method for fitting in:

>Talk like them. They use perfect spelling, grammar and punctuation? Copy that shit.
>Say things that are hard to disagree with without looking like a) an idiot and b) you're trying to start a circlejerk.
>Be nice! Even if you get into an argument, try to be polite about it. People can't hate nice people.
>If all else fails, make a new account and try again.

same here OP.

bloxannn

that feel when no god damn girlfriend cryan

oy908i9305ti90wri90two0-rtw0-eto

the op is still here?
I know that feelan, can i borrow it?

It might be bad but at the same time, it might not OP. Don't judge yourself so terribly.

Then again, I can't fit in for the life of me either.

That feel when you're a highly regarded member of a forum that has over 450,000 members.

That feel when at work/school you don't talk to anyone unless absolutely necessary.

That feel when people ask who your closest friends are and you immediately think of people you've only met on the internet.

That feel when you're continuously muted for not having an original image, so you give up and post without one

That equally depressing feel when you go back after being muted and your captcha is "deserves. betafun"

I know all these feels.

I tried being an active member of many forums but my posts were either ignored, or the threads died. It's like my posts were invisable or something.

I've tried being a part of the most welcoming place ive ever found, ponychan, yet the same thing has happend there. I even posted some Forza related Pony artwork a few weeks back & it was ignored. I would have liked it even if someone said it was shit or whatever.

Seems like we are doomed to spend our lives living in the shadows.

I know what you mean. I just lurk. Whenever I post I just seem to say something wrong or get ignored. I also repeatedly refresh to see any response while worrying what you people think of me.

>>1067528
Those were both me. I doubt you're still here but i'll answer anyway. I'm doing nothing interesting. I'm terrified about my future and I don't know what to do with my life. I don't really like anything that much. I have a pretty bad relationship with my family. My mom probably has BPD and definitely has depression. All the things she's said and done have made me hate her. My dads usually okay but is also an asshole. I have a brother we're not close. No relationship with extended family for years.

What made you ask those two posts?

>>1068697

>>1068782

>>1068979

>>1069074
I'm mixture of nerdyness (when you first know me) and then pure coldness (when you interact with me) but acording to my 3 only real friends I get to have in my life I can be a good bro.
I sent you a mail

>>1068697

>>1069594

As I stated before, I can resemble your family lifestyle and most of what you wrote before you replied back to my message, alright, talk to you later then.

Online game chat box
>join game
>"hi guys!"
>"please respond"

that feel when no one...

wait...op you there?

that feel when all you do is play runescape.

if you're on here, then you're on here for something.

then why would you be on here? i mainly lurk.

do you guys even talk online or is this your only medium?

>>1069676

i just woke up, are you still in the thread?

wow why does everyone carre so much about "fitting in" with society. our society is made up of old people who shit their pants, wiggers/chavs who think they own everything, these people are the ones that would kill you over nothing, midaged boring fuckers with nothing better to do, were the interesting lot fuck fitting in you bunch of fucking cunts faggots and assholes fuck you all!!!

no one else really came up to me...i was always a loner.

is the op still here?
i sent you an e-mail a couple days ago.

it's a shame that we can't add each other as the op left.

Non anonymous forums are one giant pissing contest faggotry.

You've got the post whores who only +1 usually with "wat" or "lol". They usually have a ridiculous amount of posts since they signed up. They've been on the forum for two years and have 10k posts. They contribute nothing and are considered celebrities and operate in a huge circlejerk of other post whores.

The "bad boy" or infamous "troll". Usually someone in their mid teens that thinks he's "doing it for the lulz". Doesn't know what trolling is. When called out on his shit he either says nothing or flips shit looking like an idiot. But it was all part of the plan. You just got trolled. Fucking retards. These people make up about 60% of the community.

The mods who do whatever the fuck they want and get their dicks sucked for it. Threads aren't locked for breaking the rules. They're locked because they don't like it. Huge egos fueled by legion of suck ups.

A handful of women who are a mix of hambeasts acting like hot women and average women using selective angles to look "hot". The latter are hardcore weaboos and the former are normalfags wanting to boost their self esteem because women make up 2% of the community. Will probably be made a mod because of white knight mods.

This is what finally drove me away. Also forum drama that ends up dividing the community forcing the site to shut down.

I can post on 4chan because it doesn't occur to me that the other anons are actual people as well.

>that feel when someone here share his e-mail, you send him a mail and it does not answer back.
Even the other loners ignore me. FML

I had an e-friend for years who goes on 4chan but when I met him IRL he had the shittiest personality of anyone I'd met. I think we're all just terrible people.

>>1088694
How bad was he?
Was he a /b/tard? That would explain everything

>>1079621

>>1088660

was it deadbanshee? I just sent all of my emails out last night. You didn't get it back...?

>>1069676


let me know what your email is bro, i don't think i received it.

I'm a little bit like that, but I think part of it is that the internet can be very cliquey and I don't really roll like that. This is mostly based on forum experience. I have become a "regular" on a few forums, but on only about half of them did I meet anybody I actually cared to speak to off of the forum.

It's comforting to know other anons feel the same way as I do.

op are you still there? Do you even talk to people via instant messengers?

I can identify. Makes me feel more socially retarded than ever. Although I do prefer to speak to people in person if and when I have the balls to.

>>1091373

what is your life like? what can you talk about and what are your opinions on politics and religion?

bump out of simple convince and interest.
