meeting people through a job is probably the easiest route.

Thread just for you
>>7062825

Stop raging OP, go outside and make some friends.

lol, yeah it's the worst

Easiest way to meeting new people and having it happen casually is through friends, school, job or hobbies (sports)

You have to actually use your head to think about what to do when 'going outside'.

Do you like reading? Go to the library, plenty of people there.

Try going to a bar, plenty of different kinds filled with plenty of different people.

Find a place to volunteer if your having a tough time finding a job. It'll help you meet people and look good on a resume.

Talk to any neighbors you see, any poker games going on in the neighborhood? express interest in it.

Use your head and think about your situation and figure out a game plan for yourself.

First thing is to practice on roaches and rats. Maybe you can build your own buddy out of shit. You'll have like a ton of friends then. Just talk to yourself for a while. Practice!

ED is actually useful if you look in the right places.

I'm afraid this anon is right, what if the person lives in a rural area and he's isolated because does not have either a drivers license or affords a car, and even so, the places are miles and miles away and it's expensive to get to them daily.

What if OP is in a crime ridden area or those places are simply not available? Or worse,what if the only places available is a bar, and OP has no interest boozing. Not everyone is lucky to have these place in their town or city.

In before relocate to another town/city.

>>7063394
if u like reading...and go to a library ur goin to read not meet ppl

if u goin to a bar ur goin to get drunk, not meet ppl

if u volunteer your doin it to get xp for getting a job to make money, not meet pl

talk to strangers around and ask aboot poker? why should i lose money to strangers? and if i dont know how to play?

>>7063394
Socialfag here;

If a random stranger tries to start a conversation in the library with me, I generally give them one word answers until they leave. It's a fucking library, not a bar.

While I've had plenty of fun with random people in bars, I've never made a single long term friend at one. I've never traded numbers with another dude with plans to hang out at a later date.

The volunteer idea is totally viable, though.

Number One tip: Meet people through a job, paid or voluntary.

If you don't already have a job, get one. This will make you more friends and get you MONEY you can spend on things like going out, petrol/driving lessons, getting a haircut, etc.

>>7063513
I don't understand...What point are you trying to make? All you're doing is changing the intentions. You can still go to a library to meet people, shithead.

OP, there's gotta be town/city events that happen. Why don't you check them out? Or join a club? Hell there's probably gaming cafes where you could meet likeminded dudes.

Awwwww

Is the socially awkward OP sad ;_;?

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I have a great job, but no one there are my age. Making friends will never happen.

>And 'go outside'; really? What do you propose we do, wander around our neighborhoods? Go into town and wander around in stores?
Well, at least it's better than staying indoors, playing video games, and fagging up /r9k/

1) Learn PUA shit.
2) Meet new people.
3) Fuck those people you've just met.
4) ?????
5) PROFIT

Boo-the-fucking-hoo OP, so you have no base to work off of? You make one then, find clubs, join voluntary stuff, come up to random strangers and talk. It works better than you think.

>>7063839
Not everyone has a gaming cafe near where they live. Maryland and Virginia has NO LAN cafes or gaming cafes except in the far more rural areas of those states.

>>7063897
Anyone that tells you people are more interesting than vidya games (and books, science, etc.) are full of shit.

The number of people worth talking to borders on statistical insignificance.

>>7063928
You can keep telling yourself that your whole life, but it's not going to make it any more true.

>>7063394

> Find a place to volunteer if your having a tough time finding a job. It'll help you meet people and look good on a resume.

I don't get this logic. Maybe it'll help getting a job like, folding shirts at the GAP, or stocking shelves at Krogers, but I can't imagine "Oh hey! VOLUNTEER WORK? WOW!" is going to give you any advantage at landing a job with a living wage.

"Well, this guy here has four years work experience and a degree... HOLD THE PHONE, MITCH! This guy helped out at the SPCA!"

>>7063928
Nah, you just have to get the right perspective on certain people. Whether that's laughing inwardly at their retarded bullshit, or just seeing them as practise, most people are worth talking to in one way or another.

I've often been suprised at finding stuff in common with apparent uber-chavs, or people who seem at first to have no interests other than sport.

>>7063928
Exactly. You're never going to get the same satisfaction out of ~making frienndss~ that you do from literature, vidya and art in general.

But, if you MUST be a social creature, at least take advantage of people's feeble minds.

No, you're just a fucking little pussy. "Go outside, make friends" is actually very good advice. It's so simple, but faggots like you have to build up this shit like its so hard. You're never gonna make friends sitting on 4chan all day bitching about how you don't have friends. It's takes EFFORT on your part. Friends aren't gonna come knock on your door.

>>7063339

Fine, get a fucking hobby that you can practice socially, damn neckbeard.

When people tell you to "go outside and make friends" they obiously don`t expect you to just stand outside your house and wait for someone to come by asking to be your friend. What they mean is you should get out more. Sign up for courses in something that interests you. Take classes. Organised sports. There are plenty of things you can do after you have left your house. If you do these things you will meet people and make friends. Everyone else have done it the exact same way. It`s not rocket science.

>>7063962

You have a really negative outlook, seriously do volunteer work, get a entry level job, go to college or a vocational school at the same time. You'll profit from it later.

I made like 10 friends through historical wargaming.

>>7063994
aka larping :3

People who say that seem to forget that it CAN be a big fucking deal for some people.

>>7063394
I love to read, but how the hell do you go to a library to meet people? People there are either reading or working, both things which people don't like to be bothered while doing. How the fuck are you supposed to speak to people and make friends in a library?

I live in a village, okay.

Now, the only one of those things we have outside here is a bar. The only people who drink in this bar are the bowling team, comprising of all over 60s. Where am I supposed to make friends?

Wander the streets and hope I see a bunch of people and start walking with them?
Go knock on everyones doors and ask them if they want to be my friend?

NO, not all of us are in cities with lots to do.

Recently I dressed super nicely and planned to go to town in order to meet oter anime fans.
I went to a huuge electronics store and went to the anime section, wearing a smart smile.
Needless to say, nobody spoke to me, but im rather glad, as there was only a fat guy and an old lady there, but still, my efforts were in vain.
The thing is I dont have a bad apperance but i still dont havy many friends.

>>7064019
Fact: illiterate girls go there to pick up smart boys. Just look for the ones who are holding a book, but aren't actually reading it.

>>7063955
It isn't 'true'. It can't be true, since it's only a relative moral judgment. Having an inconsistent perspective on it fucks with my moral compass too; I can't stand using someone for practice.

Practice? I can agree there, but that's not a long term thing, excepting when you have to get back on the bike every once in a while.

>>7064027
I don't want an illiterate girlfriend, though.

>>7064023
Why on earth an electronics store?
>Recently I dressed super nicely and planned to go to town in order to meet oter anime fans.
I went to a huuge electronics store

>>7064057
Relatively large anime section, well it was like a store in which electronics are sold + games and music and all that snazzy shit, its like 5 stories high so theres crap in abundance.
And with nicely I mean i i put on my bestest and coolest overcoat that makes me look pretty sweet and walked around looking awesome.
TBH i wasnt expecting anything out of, I also wanted to check out some of the anime they had.

Sure is a lot of idiots in here. You can't help a socially awkward faggot that can't help himself.

It's my first time at /r9k/ and I have to say this is one of the most depressing things I've seen in a long time. Thanks for cheering me up :D

>>7064054

Good luck there, buddy.

buddyblox

OK, THEN DON'T GO OUTSIDE AND DON'T MAKE FRIENDS.

STAY HOME AND CRY YOURSELF TO SLEEP FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

RETARD.

>Hey anon why don't you just like talk to people lol

RAGE. If I knew how to fucking talk to people properly I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

>>7064128

You know, you don't have to go outside to socialize. Just play Second Life and get your social life that way. Then cry yourself to sleep.

>>7064108
This is the reason almost everyone visits r9k. Also, there is more where that came from.

>>7064148
I never said anything about going outside.

>>7064162

Alright then. You can stay at home and practice talking to the various pieces of furniture around the house.

Find a hobby. Go get something to eat or drink in a public place. Play some fuckin' Warhammer for Christ's sakes.

It's easy for me.

Here's what you do. Go out, find an outgoing person; have them help you.

Hell, I'll help anyone here in person. Really. I'm great with people, have a wide base of true friends. You're nervous? Just come and hang out with me. You'll get out of your shell.

Bar
Job
Hobby

>>7064298
Yeah, I've done that sort of thing for a couple guys as well.

I helped my friend lose his virginity at a party a couple weeks back. I walked around with him talking to girls and introducing ourselves and stuff, and eventually he hooked up with a girl.

You must attain friends, not make them.

Lonely and mentally unstable individuals make friends.

Yet not everyone knows the difference.

>>7064214
Really this is the greatest advice anyone could possibly give, picking up a hobby opens huge doors for making friends.

>>7064535

Just what the fuck do people mean when they say "get a hobby"? In my mind it's the same thing as "go outside and make friends". How do you get a hobby? If you're not interested in something already, why would you start doing it?

I mean, come on, nobody picks up a hobby on their own, they are pulled into it by a friend. Which is the point of this thread, we dont have any.

Just going outside wont fix any problems...and you actually establish yourself as a creepy person if you go on friend-finding missions...

>>7064568
yeah I understand

for Example it's fucking cold and I live in the middle of no where...

>stay inside and drink some hot chocolate

I'll be your internet friend :P

>>7064612
fucking this
will you NIGGERS ever shut the fuck UP about this relationshit and friendshit BULLSHIT and BASK IN THE PRESENCE THAT IS THE INTERNET?

it only leads to DRAMA and horseshit.

>>7064568
I picked up playing the guitar on my own, I've made a few friends just going to a guitar store to buy new strings. If you're incapable of just finding something that interests you chances are you're a very dull person who nobody would want to be around.

Get a fucking hobby you pathetic loser.

ITT:neckbeards proving why they are in fact neckbeards

>>7063345

I hate anyone who says this shit. Fuck you, you have no idea what it's like. People with no connections have no fucking base to work off of to get a job. And 'pound the pavement'; really? What do you propose we do, wander around our neighborhoods? Go into town and wander around in stores?

If you don't have any useful advice to give, then don't try to give anyone fucking advice. Yes, I mad. More accurately, I'm frustrated to the point of being disgusted.

>>7064568
Pulled into it by a friend? Don`t you have a mind of your own? Are incapable of thinking for yourself? Getting a hobby means to find something you like and doing it. You don`t need someone to tell you to do it now, do you? Or are you a pussy?

I told you already! Make a friend out of poop and laugh with him!

Join a random school club... or multiple.
Frequent a bar.
Get a hobby that puts you around other people and ask about shit.
Talk to people at work.
Volunteer for some sort of community service.
Go to dating site meetups and talk to everyone, not just people you're attracted to.

Christ, it's not hard. Just exert a tiny bit of effort.

>>7063962
Last year I raised hundreds of dollars by running a marathon for a children's hospital. How was this helpful? It shows employees that:
-I'm healthy (Their health coverage won't have to pay for my dialysis)
-I'm not lazy (won't skip work)
-I plan ahead (Marathons require preparation)
-I have people skills
-I'm a courteous guy (I won't act like a prick to the boss if he's giving me a hard time)
Plus, what's the alternative? Would you put "Played video games all day" on your resume?

Volunteering helps your social life, too. If you're at an animal shelter it's bound to have a few cute girls volunteering at well. Ask them which dog is their favorite or if they own any pets themselves. Working at a soup kitchen? While you wash dishes strike up a conversation with the guy cooking the soup.

God, you people are like little whiny children. Even after we tell you what to do you complain and we have to tell you, step by step, what to do, and you still complain. We're not going to do this stuff for you. You have to do it yourself.

>>7064568

So you have nothing you've ever wanted to do, no ability to decide how to spend your own time without absolute direction and no social skills?

Someone should just say tell him already.

>>7064746
This. Your situation is hopeless, give up now.

NIACINAMIDE works on the same receptors as XANAX and ALCOHOL. Is this the only board you guys visit?

It kills anxiety, calms nerves and jitters. Ask the guys in /fit/

Taurine works wonders too.

I took some niacinamide, left the house for the first time in months and ran into this beautiful romanian girl who i met in my philosophy class a year ago. Some time ago I sent her a story I wrote along the lines of an existential John Galt (no, I'm not an objectivist) and she loved it and enrolled in a creative writing class! And then I ran into one of my friends in medschool, with whom I spent nearly 15 hours talking non-stop.

It's there if you need it, boys.
Life's too short to be scared of experiencing things.
One day, you will be older; will you be regretting that you were such a pussy not to do things, or will you be laughing at what awesome shit happened back then.

These vitamins will aid you, they are a ramp, a small boost. One day, you will not need them and one day you will thank some dude on an imageboard you haven't visited in years.

It's not really hard it's just that most people here are super shy and shut-ins. You just have to be really nice and talk to people. Ask them a polite question or make jokes to break the ice.

haha that shit is so retarded.. yeah friends.. and why do you need them again? oh right so peer pressure can scare you into conforming into the mindless sheep you must be to fit into the masses. oh thats what i need. fuck being myself, and doing what i want, i should follow the crowd! think for myself? hell no! other people must be right since there are so many of them! yes they are miserable insecure fools who cant do a god damn thing without someone holding their hand.. but without them.. people would look down on me, and thats terrible because people hold a gun up to my head and tell me i gotta feel the way they want me to.

Take up a group guitar class. You'll be like fucking Jimmy Page. Don't tell me you've never wanted to learn Stairway to Heaven. If you don't meet girls in the class (highly unlikely) go downtown, show off your new found skill, and sooner or later, someone will start talking to you. If you live in the Chicagoland area I've already gotten you the fucking url.

If you don't currently exercise you need to for a plethora of reasons. If you currently exercise, then join a club, it does exist for your sport I guarantee it. If not, join a runner's club and train for a half marathon. You will get in shape and meet /fit/ girls.
http://www.cararuns.org/Training/2009%20Summer%20Half%20Marathon.aspx

Look in my pic. Are you in the least amount interested in creating anything like that? Take a group art class, meet lots of artsy girls. If they are better artists than you, compliment them, they will appreciate it. If you are a better artist than them, give them advice, they will appreciate it. http://www.rivereastartcenter.com/classes_painting.php

Do you know what bulletin boards are?

Go find one.

SURPRISE!

I say ' go outside' all the time, because for one it is hilarious, two I do know what its like and three IT IS THE ANSWER YOU SEEK!
And no we don't mean wander around the neighborhood, we mean like go play sports or something. Scientifically speaking you would be more confident if you had more testosterone floating around that system of yours, and we all know getting a work out will help with that. Be creative - after all its not my life, its yours. You see social anxiety is brought on alot of times from being indoors and infront of a computer too much, hence the advice being valid. Listen very carefully when I say this, because I mean it from my heart of hearts - you are not a victim, your situation is brought on by YOU and therefore YOU are the one going to solve it. Not me, not him, not her - YOU.

OP has opened his self up for troll, despite being 100% correct.

There is plenty of socially awkward uni students doing
this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour
Why not join a Parkour club?

>>7065063

Or, you know, you can make friends and meet people to have both fun and to acquire new information or hobbies.

Then again you sound like one of those conformist fags that conform to non-conformity. Ala, doing the opposite of what you are told at all times. Which isn't real non-conformity. If non-conformity even really exists.

>>7065278

yes, fuck all this conformity non conformity shit as in the real world has very little or no value. how about instead be yourself and shut the fuck up about it.

I was a loner with no friends a while ago, then I went on meetup.com, found a group in my area of interest to me and went to their next meetup. Even if there aren't any groups that really interest you, try something, since you need to meet people in order to make friends.

I could probably write a couple page paper about how to make friends, step by step, such that ANYONE could follow it. Even with specifics if I was given a location. But then you would complain that you would have to read it, and it's sooo long.

But what's more, is what incentive do I have to do this? Fucking nothing. In fact, the more people that stay neckbeards, the better my odds are of meeting single girls. So please, wallow in your own despair, keep telling yourself you can't do anything, never try at anything. It only makes me look better.

How about we pool in ideas on come backs for the whole "Oh poor you! I bet you would be so much happier if you just went outside and made some friends!". ?
Or maybe something to say to those who smugly say "why do you always look so sad" or "you're looking awfully lonely"?

>Go to the local nerd hangout, make friends

There you go, OP, I fix'd it.

>>7065649

>"why do you always look so sad" or "you're looking awfully lonely"

Those are people who want to be your friend, you idiot! No wonder you don't have any friends! AAAAGH

I'm skinny as fuck, got baby face, I wear glasses, I get laid. I'm no casanova but I'm happy with life as it is and I try to do my best to achieve what I want. If I fail, I try again.

If you claim you have no friends because you don't have friends then you're just stupid, fucking talk to people, probability alone means finally you'll meet someone who takes an interest in you. I learned that the hard way, fucked it up the first time, still regret it, but I didn't baww just kept going.

You are your biggest problem /r9k/.

>>7065273

Goddamn I'd so be so fucking interested in a Parkour club.

That being said, my school doesn't have any clubs that really interest me, but I'm not sure what kind of clubs would interest me. The school has an anime club, but they're always part of the way through some of the series and I'm sure they were watching shit series (I think Bleach was on there). No video game club (there is a video game development club, but I just want to play, not develop (I've tried my hands on game development; I have the ideas, not the talent)). There's an RPG club, but I don't know anyone and I sat in there one time and it was awkward as fuck since they all got up to start playing their games and I just left since I had no idea what was going on. They also have a lightsaber fighting club, which is full of some cool people, but lightsaber fighting just isn't for me.

I don't think I'm into any of this shit enough to want to join a club for it. I mean, I like all of them, but it all becomes competition, and why would I want to compete in my hobby? I want my hobby to be just done for fun and that's it, not so I can beat anyone or prove my superiority.

>>7065721
Shut the fuck up you stupid faggot.

>>7065868
This here outburst of helpless jealousy makes me feel even better about myself.

OP, I was like you a while ago.

And you know what, you are an idiot. Get a fucking job, go to fucking school, go to the store, go do SOMETHING and when you are there fucking talk to people and eventually somebody will learn your fucking name and then you have a fucking friend to fucking hang out with if you have the fucking desire.

FUCK you don't know anything.

Grow some balls and talk to strangers, if you are not a creepy retard they have no reason to hate you.

>>7065795
Protip: Don't join vidya/animu/rpg clubs. They are undoubtedly full of aspies and weeaboos trying to find the waifu of their dreams. Is it so hard to join the ultimate Frisbee team? There's a solid mix of guys and girls. All of them are pretty friendly and active. And ultimate Frisbee is fun, no matter who you are.

And if you say that "it's all just a bunch of bros and douchebags" , hear me out. Don't judge a book by it's cover. If I were to judge you by my first impression of you, I'd say you're an overweight friendless creeper who has wet dreams about visiting Japan and you are majoring in something bullshit like philosophy. I'm sure you would object to those generalizations and so would other people.

>>7066128

Trust me, I know what you're talking about in regards to "judging a book by its cover". I started hanging out with these guys over the summer who look like total bros, but enjoy things like Magic: The Gathering, video games, and anime. They also enjoy getting drunk and getting laid, so it was definitely a lot of fun hanging out with them.

As for ultimate frisbee, don't know any groups for that. Not to mention I'm, well, this is really silly of me to say, but I'll admit it... I'm too much of a pussy to play frisbee. Every time I play, I'm terrible at throwing the frisbee for one, and for two I'm worried about getting hit by it. I can never judge its speed, I can't catch it correctly, etc. Goddamn, frisbee scares me more than anything else; I'd rather play fucking tackle football.

As for what you said about those nerdy clubs, it's probably true, but there was this one really cute chick who was nice to me in both the clubs. Now that I'm thinking about it, though, she's probably nice to all the nerdy guys and probably would never fuck any of us. But, she is an Arts major, so maybe... nah, fuck it, I need to just meet more women, not focus on one.

Library.

People in my age group
>35%

People who aren't annoying faggots
>30% of the above

People who want to be interrupted and have a conversation.
>5% of the above

End is Nill. The library is filled with worthless faggots who go their because they are poor and have no internet at home.

Fuck them. Fuck you. And fuck everyone else.

>>7066248
I thought I was the only one embarrassed to play Frisbee with random people. Actually any sport in general, since I suck at them all and have absolutely no coordination.

>>7063339
LOL, must be a troll. Or a big loser. Either way they get ignored.

Hey there. I am a soulless idiot with no job, no hobbies, not in education.
Make me some friends, will you?
I don't even have internet friends.

>>7066128
You're implying that every anime/video game/rpg club is full of people who are diagnosed with Asperger syndrome.

I've been to a anime club outside of high school, I will not disclose what location, but most of the members are well-adjusted people.

(I could greentext, but that would be cheap.)

>>7068211

You're doing this incorrectly.

To OP: I asked once before. I asked where people go to make friends/acquaintences, and improve their lives that way. I got three answers:

-Work
-School
-Clubs/parties/bars

Now, I work from home, here at my computer. The response? Get a second job. What the fuck? I don't need a second job, much less some temp hourly shit just to possibly make friends.

I'm not in college anymore. The response? Go take some classes at a community college. Seriously? SERIOUSLY? So I have to pay a crapload of money for classes I don't even need anymore, just to HOPEFULLY make a friend there?

Clubs/parties/bars. Not my scene. I hate those people, and don't want to make friends with them. Nor would I fit in at all. Yet somehow, it's the only option people can come up with.

So basically? Everyone who gives "advice" is fucking retarded, and there IS no way to make new friends if you have none as an adult.

>>7069524
That's another problem, you may work at home or already got graduated from college, and the clubs/bars are not your thing. That is another potential problem.

So the only other solution is to join a club or society or events in your area related to your interests.

>>7068326
It looks like we are in the same boat.

>>7069622
Really, my only friends are my 3 D&D buddies, and the handful of people who know my name at my local game store. I only see the latter when I go to play Warhammer or Magic there, we don't hang out or anything. They have their own lives and friends, I'm not part of that.

I really don't do anything else. There's nothing to do where I live, and no real way for a 21 year old reclusive nerd like me to talk to new people.

Oh gosh not another one of these. You're american right? Well, if you are, It is somewhat general agreement that most socialization happens in interest groups. Those are any groups where the members share a common goal and/or interest, obviously. Churches are particularly strong and close interest groups with great adherence in the USA but, since you're in r9k, i suppose you aren't much of a religious person. Another strong interest group in the US are educational facilities. I'm gonna go ahead and guess that OP is college, or less likely, high school. Those are particular interest groups where you can socialize easily in the general group (as in your class or whatever) or a subgroup (common interest groups such as sports or study groups) where adherence would be even more facilitated due to the specificity of the group and its relatively smaller number of members. Now the third and last great interest group would be the workforce. That means your co-workers, if you're employed. The fact that you are sharing a common goal (primarily money) already brings you much closer to others than you are inclined to believe. If not studying, working or religious, I suggest you seek out other interest groups near you. Trust me, they are everywhere in the US so you should be able to find one or some with ease. Now, this does not imply that you have to leave your house since you can find the millions of common interest groups online and join them, but interest groups based on actual interaction and contact are sturdier and more tightly-knit. If going outside is troublesome at the moment, I suggest first joining online interest groups and then proceeding to join offline ones. I must stress again how the great majority of socialization in the US does happen through interest groups and not through common social places (like meeting someone in a square, street, or any other public place)

>>7069524
There are a great variety of clubs, parties and bars, and the reason it's 'not your scene' and you wouldn't fit in is because it's full of social interaction, which you don't have much of. Who cares if you don't particularly enjoy parties? You will enjoy anything if you're drunk and make friends easily. It's better than having no friends at all.

>>7069880
That's the problem.

>>7069524 may be opposed to the bar/club scene because he has no interest in drinking alcohol to fit in. Not everyone is into boozing.

Actually, it's "not my scene", because I have no intention of interacting with people like these (pic related). I have no problem drinking with someone I know, but I'm not a sociable drunk. I'm a mellow, bored drunk, and I "wouldn't fit in", because I'm clearly a loser and a nerd, not a partier.

God damn megan fox looks beautiful sometimes

...and I forgot my pic.

>Go into town and wander around in stores?
It's more fun then you think. You may also find some friends there.

Honestly, i'm thinking of joining an anime/gaming club so I can meet more male friends. I can meet girls ok, but they tend to get weirded out when I have no bros that I hang with on a regular basis.

I don't own a single piece of clothing as nice as that complimentary dressing gown.

join a gaming club, trust me. shits fun.
anime clubs are fun too, if you can find one with enough normal dudes.

In my next life, I want to come back as a dressing gown so I have the chance to encase megan fox's body

I've met some gaming and anime clubs. I look like a male model and I dress nicely, they saw me as a natural enemy and wouldn't talk to me.

Instead of whining, I suggest you do actually go out and make friends. Then you'd realize your social circle is nothing but a crutch. You can decide to have fun no matter what, or you can decide to be angry at everyone even though what you feel comes from within and not from anywhere else. Deny it, but you know it to be true. The only thing stopping you from having a good time is yourself. Nothing else.

tl;dr - It is all in your head. I feel no pity.

l feel the same way, except I'd like to come back as a coffin.

Aim for one at a community college or university, if there is one. I got lucky by finding some cool bros on meetup.com, but it seems like all the other anime/gaming groups are motherfucking high schoolers.

The mostly-girls college anime/gaming groups are just as annoying. You might have an easier time with these groups anyway.

The mostly-bros groups are terrible. There'll be a few women, if at all, and every penis there will spend 99% of their time trying to get inside some nerdy vagina. If you even have absolutely minimal socialization skills, this pathetic shit will drive you nuts.

OP, you can make friends anywhere but you need something people have suggested yet.

YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE A WARM PERSON WHO COMPLIMENTS SOON-TO-BE FRIENDS AND MAKE THEM FEEL AT EASE. If can't do that, you'll either A) learn how or B) you'll be lonely indefinetely. Ask around for advice on people's favorite socializing self-help book.

OP to be honest like 99% of the people in this are correct. When it comes to making friends you HAVE to do it yourself, nobody can give you the correct answers or keygen to life. I myself am very very socially awkward, but I STILL managed to make my life from 20-25 very enjoyable. It wasn't until I reached about 26 that I realized that shit just doesn't matter to me as much as it did.

Seriously, best key to anything is to just fucking do it. I don't even go out now, I have a hard time leaving the house, but the keys are all still there, YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR. It's not something you just rightfully earned. Friends don't just magically appear out of nowhere.

Case in point; go to 24 hour restaurant with best friend. See a girl reading a book while eating, decide to sit down and ask her about said book. She has been my friend now for 5 years, probably my closest as well.

It's not hard.

Did you even read this fucking thread?
Read the following: >>7066248 and >>7066128

What's the moral of those posts? Don't judge a book by it's cover. Don't judge a whole group of people (bar denizens/clubbers/people who go to parties, ie 90% of the population) based on massive generalizations. Anybody who thinks a bunch of fucked up shirtless bros is the norm at any party/bar/club has never been to a party/bar/club and is basing their opinion on stereotypes from the internet and movies. I've been to a lot of parties in my life. I'd say less than 10% have shirtless bros doing keg stands and vomiting all over the dance floor. Unless you go to some bar in Stalingrad or it's New Year's Eve, the vast majority of people will not be getting shitfaced drunk, but will just enjoy a social night out with a bit of alcohol.
