By playing vidya

I play video games

>>119308229
>>119308238

vidyamind

I browse /v/ to make up for the lack in friends.

Vidya and /v/

>>119308325

Same here but be honest, /v/ can't make up for real life friends (and gf)

I only have no friends because my best friend became my girlfriend.

play games, code and irc

I get dubs. checkem

Let me tell you about Friends, /v/ : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myZGE9Urkfo

>>119308383
why the fuck do you think we're so angry all the time

but i have op

I just do.

>>119308496

Good point

/v/,weed, little cooking.

Pretty okay with it.

I have acquaintances, I don't have friends at the moment because I just moved to a new town. My and my sisters boyfriend (from the town over we moved from) and I talk about Skyrim alot. So I suppose I got one "friend"

> that feel when you can tell your favorite game is casual
> that feel when you love it anyway

>>119308546
hipsters don't need friends

>Meet girl
>She seems into me
>Saving me seat in class everyday
>Buying me lunch
>Hanging out together whole semester
>Texting non stop
>last day of class tells me she has a boyfriend

i dont even

really sucks not having any friends :(

I stick with singleplayer games :( Cuz I dont have any friend to play CO-OP with

I prefer to think that I'm in between friends. My friends from elementary school became acquiantances in middle and high school, still on civil terms, but my friends from middle and high school were complete retards and I realize I shouldn't even try and keep in touch with them. They don't seem to miss me much, at least.

So when I go to college in January, I'll hopefully make more.

>Mfw I have about 5 extremely close friends that will be bros for life.

>Mfw even when I'm around people I've never met I always fit in and get along great with everybody.

It isn't that difficult.

>>119308686

Why do bitches do this...

Im too hardcore for friends

nobody can control my fiesty personality and 10/10 good lucks. Also I choose to be alone because everyone is much stupider than i am.

>>119308709

I got one friend that I play all co-op games with but that's about it...

I just genuinely hate people.

>>119308924

So do I but I can't hate on pretty girls

>>119308686

You were the second option

>Actual real people i know i can hang with

>Steam 100+ friends

>Barely speak to anyone either way

why

>>119308668

I am no hipster...

>>119308686
Its your own fault anon. You should have done some snooping to get to know her, or at least let her know what you were looking for outright (IE minor flirting).

This happened to me before, didn't let it happen again.

lets all be friends on steam to make up for our lack of irl friends. i seem to get along with everyone on /v/ you guys seem like total bros

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197995216424/

>>119308958

I've got like 140 steam friends but they only talk to me when they need a game to be cracked...shit sucks

i have a friend to play with ...

...

>>119308999

>Great Britain

Nope. Also nice trips

Next time I see my only real life friend I'll be telling him to get the fuck out.

Little bitch insulted me, but not in a messing around way as it usually is. Fuck friends, what's the point. I enjoy spending time alone.

>>119308804
Because they hope that you'll be excessively nice and generous to them if they lead you on, while they don't have to do anything for you in return.

By playing vidya and having a general loathing of my fellow man.

/v/ is my friend.

>Be generally a nice person
>Honest, trust worthy
>Decent person to get along with

It was my birthday yesterday and I had no friends to drink with.

Quite saddening, but I just played vidya with online friends to make up for it.

It's a blessing.. This way, I no longer have to put with anyone, let alone their issues. I am through with aaaall of that, all I want to spend my time alone for the rest of my life and thankfully that'll be an easy goal!
I don't have to spend my time on anyone but myself, and god do I love that.

>>119309109
And what do they get out of FRIEND ZONING people?

>>119309089

What did he say to you?

>>119309326
Made fun of me for my receding hairline and being short cuz I'm only 5'8".

That's inront of his "cool" friends.

>>119309399

Yeah he needs to get the fuck out

>>119309237
A friend. And if you're especially beta, you'll keep being overly nice.

>>119308787
You fit in because you're the definition of a normalfag. You're into normal things, you socialise easily, you're either funny or interesting in some way, etc.

I don't know if you realise, but those of us who have no friends are likely to be the exact opposite. We're into more "weird" things, we find it hard to socialise, and we're pretty fucking boring. That's why we can't just fit in with people like you do. Don't be so ignorant, man.

I'm 23 years old.

I have few friends myself. But I don't really feel lonely. My best friend has been there since I was 6. Then when I was 17 he had to leave this place. But he visits this place every summer for a month or two, and when he does I always boss around the streets with him, because we're bros for fucking ever. We also chat online a lot ever since, and play counter strike and shit.

>>119309450
Yea I'm definitely beta. And fervor alone so I would love even a friend.

>>119309326

Told me to go eat shit and die. For no reason. Fuck that nigger.

>>119309399

That's no me. I'm 5'11 with a glorious full head of hair

>>119309518

Now I'm confused

I have friends, but it just occurred to me this morning that they'd stab me in the back to get even a little ahead. I can't trust any of them.

It sucks.

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ

>>119309518
>>119309550

Oh, don't worry. You can trust me.

>>119309598

Dump the faggots

You guys think if you didn't browse /v/ so much that you would actually have a gf and more friends?

>>119309598
I'm the opposite. I have friends, and I would be willing to stab all of them in the back to gain some tangible advantage.

>>119309714
I browse /v/ because I'm lonely. If I didn't browse /v/ I'd just kill myself or something.

>>119309650

Well, I don't know if "stab me in the back" is the right word.

But for instance, I went to the bar with some friends of mine and one of their girlfriends. She got drunk and he got pissed, so he left and asked me to watch after her.

Eventually, she started kissing this other guy (after I turned her down, actually). I told him the score and that he needed to back off. Long story short, I fought the guy and got punched in the face, giving me a nice cut across my lip for my date the next day.

Told my friend. How'd he thank me?

Took her back, stopped hanging out with me completely.

>Have no friends
>Don't go to school or work
>Not sure how to make new friends since can't just go to a bar or club alone
>Decide to use Craigslist platonic relationship board
>Meeting a girl and her boyfriend
>Go out to bar have a good time
>Go to their place
>The guy wants me to fuck the girl while he watches and gets dominated by his girlfriend
>Leave

>>119309714
Nah, I've already experimented with this theory

we aren't losers because we browse 4chan, we browse 4chan because we're losers.

>>119309598
dat feel when me and my friends go out of our way just to look out for each other

i think you're mistaking friends for coworkers, why would friends be backstabbing you for promotions to begin with

>>119309464

Actually, people generally find me amusing and trust-worthy.
In fact, with my old group of friends (and even those outside it) would just suddenly come to me and blurt their issues, problems and worries and desperately ask for advice as if I were some god damn life-solving encyclopedia.

Truth to be told? That's what basically made me hate people. Finding out the bullshit they worry over, and just how hellbent they are in making every little thing into a war-scaled drama and build up as many excuses as possible to not get over it even with your full support, trying over and over again to help them by any means possible only for them to find even MORE things to complain about as soon as they sort something out.
Never again.

>>119309870

That shit sucks man...what a whore

Not to well. I loath myself, but that makes people wanna stay away from you even more. You can't please them when you brag on your qualities, you can't please them when you talk about your flaws. They only seem ok when your neutral. Even when I laugh they usually think my sense of humor is very immature and inappropriate (just because I love dark humor).

Basically I realized people have no clue what they want and that I have good health and a roof over my head, so I feel alright. Lack of sex can get to you, but I've been accomplishing so much more now that I'm not pursuing it actively.

>>119308149
Sorry OP, can't relate.

Most people get friends because they feel obligated to, same with mates. That's why so many bad marriages, etc. Other people who make friends with everyone usually are the dumbest, most oblivious people out there. Often times they do it as a societal bragging sort of thing.

If you had any friends before hitting puberty or before getting to college, they will almost always be better than any friends you meet post-high school.

As you get older you lose the patience to put up with ignorant people and their dumb shit. It's easy to look at someones facebook profile/photos of stuff they did, shit they attended, places they went, all with other people or "friends" and feel lonely. But it's a ruse, it isn't much better than going to those places by yourself. Doing those things together is an obligation of your "friendship" or relationship. All they do is try to keep up with each other and not get on each others nerves, having to follow all these rules like "talk to other people too but not too much, lets drink but only together or this much at this place during this." You have to analyze people too fucking much today, you can't just be yourself. People like dark humor or dirty jokes, but only if iit doesn't offend them. You have to think whether or not something will offend them.

The best type of peson youll find will let most of that shit slide but ignores you, only does things they want to do, and are the type who have 300 friends so none of those friendships are meaningful.

tl;dr Keep up with your childhood friends and fuck everyone else. You'll never make good, worthwhile friends again. People only have friends out of obligation.

I've never really had friends. I've had one or two close friends in my time but I've never been a part of a big group or anything.

not that I'd want to be

>>119308924
That fucking feel when. I'm not even antipathetic towards people - most of the times I can laugh, talk and discuss things like a normal person. But sometimes, just the smell of other people makes me so disgusted that I want to spit or vomit it out. It's not that I want to hurt anyone either. But one day I won't be able to keep faking those smiles and laughs up anymore.

>>119309870
This is why women are cancer.

>>119309882

>why would friends be backstabbing you for promotions to begin with

Don't know. I'm a pretty likable guy, and I get along with everybody.

Last night I was supposed to get together with some coworkers and watch Dexter. The girl who was hosting it texted me and said we weren't doing it this week. Then about an hour later, someone else texted me asking why I wasn't there.

Shit is depressing, man. I was already showered and dressed for the occasion.

>>119309966
Wrong. I have 2 friends from 6th grade I still talk to. Rest of them became cunts as soon as they got into high school.

>>119309714

I browse /a/ more than I browse /v/...

>>119309777
>>119309598
Somehow I don't think either of you know what a 'friend' is

I have no friends either. But school is canceled today and I'm on amphetamines.

I FEEL GREAT!

Is anyone else like me?

I got no friends. I wish I had friends. But when I get the opportunity to hang out with people or someshit, I try to weasel my way out of it.

I guess I just HATE working around other people's schedule.

>>119310046

Adding to this, I've been a part of this for weeks, and she invites me over all the time.

I have no idea what happened this time, I saw her earlier that day and she didn't seem upset or anything. I just decided to let it go because it's better for me to just let things go instead of get angry.

>Had a bro in highschool
>Held LAN parties erry weekend
>Broin' it up 24/7
>His girlfriend starts in our class
And nothing was ever the same

I go for lots of walks, drives, excursions through nature, etc.

Feel like a lone wolf, but I just bring some cigarettes and booze or weed with me, also good music.

>>119310076
That's exactly what a "friend" is.

>>119310150

If you're a good musician and have time just join a good band or three, there's a high chance of being friends with someone and also it gets you out doing shit.

>>119310150
>At home
>"I'm getting bored, I wish someone would invite me out sometime"

>With people

Grass is always greener...

How to make friends or get girlfriends: Become rich.

>>119310046
thats messed up :(

>>119310053
How does that make me wrong?

First of all theres alot of shit I said, despite it being a sort of clusterfuck of words and flow.

Second, that agrees with everything I was getting at. "Friends made before college are almost always the only good friends you'll ever make".

I didn't say it but you could say before high school even more so, but high school is still the same group of students/classes you've been with all those years, still in the same town and shit.

>>119309399
Brendan?

I am actually ok with it but I miss playing vidya with friends. It's the best feeling ever. Playing against some random murrikans i dont even talk to just isnt as fun. it also sucks in school. i fucking hate group work and skip almost every sports lesson because i have no one to team up with

I have two really close friends who I share pretty much everything with except things like homicidal thoughts, suicidal thoughts, the severity of my misanthropy, etc. Without them I'd lose my mind. One of them is a girl and I generally have to make sure I don't 'fall for her' or whatever and end up convincing myself I'm in love with her. Best friend forever>impermanent relationship.

Other than them two I generally act normal to allow for 'friendships'. i don't think anyone tends to realise I hate them after a short while and feel alone all the time.

>>119310309
I can relate and I've decided that a lot of people are just boring and the event its self is just disappointing.

>>119310150

Sans the "wish I had friends" part.
Wish I would've had friends, is more like it. Now I just don't want to go through the process of, it's tiring. I am already mentally tired as it is, don't care to put up with scavenging worthwhile people out of humanity's pile of shit.

>>119310309

I'm really glad I saved this

>>119309870
Your friend is a fucking scumbag. No matter how good friends you guys were/are, you should not only consider him as being dead, but also attempt to screw him over for revenge whenever you can.

>>119310028
>But one day I won't be able to keep faking those smiles and laughs up anymore.
This is my biggest fear. As much as I hate people, I act sociable and have a good amount of friends, because I'm well aware that humans can't function in modern society as loners. But what happens if one day I just can't take the lies anymore?

>>119310361

I guess I have one really good friend. He fucked up bigtime in the past, but he's really tried to make amends. Both of us really don't enjoy other people, but we're a lot alike in a lot of ways, and I'm glad he reached out, because I wouldn't have.

A few days ago, he told me that if he died, I was the only person he'd trust to raise his son. Shit hit me deep.

>>119310469
Same. It's like it's too late for me to get friends now. I missed out on having a decent childhood and teenage life by having no fucking social life, what's even the point anymore?

>>119310565
thats ignorant, people move to different college in their 20s and still find new people

you just gotta break out your mold.

We don't.

That's why we're always so angry.

Always so fucking angry at each other. We have so much in common, yet all we do on this board is call each other faggots.

Just insulting each other and calling us names and and screaming at each other and telling each other to kill ourselves.

Video games can only fill the void for a certain amount of time before you just get depressed because you can't cope with all that anger anymore. In fact depression is a defense mechanism against too much anger and rage.

All we look for here is a feeling of superiority because we know we are clearly inferior.

We know we have the potential to get friends, we know we are better than most of the fucking idiots out there but for some reason we don't because all we do is sit around in our house all day playing vidya.

It truly is a paradox.

>>119310565

To be honest, it's not even about having actual friends but contacts to carry on with life.

As much as it pains me, it doesn't matter who you are, if you don't have some contacts you have no chance on carrying on in life, you always need contacts for everything, getting a job, getting this or that.

How can i endure this if i can barely stand some people?

>>119310506
>UNC fan

fat, queer, and a loser.

>some girl is into you
>nah not really my type/i can do a little better/ dont feel like it/ill just enjoy her flirting and let it pass/ill wait for the next one
>year later
>THERE IS NO NEXT ONE. HOLY FUCK I WANT THAT GIRL WHY THE FUCK DIDNT I TAKE HER UP ON IT WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE

>>119310046

What the fuck is her problem...

>>119309200
Last 3 years had no friends, no party, nothing.....
Well I guess its back to playing vidya alone.

Teenage years I lost all the friends I had to drugs.

I did have one group of friends I hanged out with for about a month but I had an ass of a step dad at the time and I was forced to come home. My parents would call everyone's parents and complain.

Eventually we just stopped hanging out together and they would lie all the time to me about going to do stuff.

Several years later I still haven't got over it, mostly because I saw how fragile that friendship was and I would rather just stay alone.

The funny thing is I can go out and see people and talk to them but anytime i am asked to do something I either lie and makeup some excuse or wait till later and bail on them. Its like that extra step into friendship terrifies the hell out of me.

>>119310675

That you can find people doesn't mean you have any use for them, nor does it mean you have enough will, mental strenght or time to do so.

>have a pretty close friend within a 15 minute walking distance
>friends with a decent chunk of some of my classes
>have friends in a couple of clubs
>hardly even on speaking terms with 2 my 3 flatmates

Something tells me my priorities are wrong.

I have a few friends but they're always working or they're too busy

>>119310799
>>119310799
drug issues?

>>119310532

> but also attempt to screw him over for revenge whenever you can

I could. Easily. His girlfriend wants my dick so bad it's beyond plausible deniability. Last time I saw her, she licked the back of my ear when no one was looking.

I don't do shit like that, though. I make a point to never get angry. I don't try for revenge, I don't even argue with people. As grimdark tryhard as it sounds, I am a fucking wave of destruction when I lose my temper. I've broken through my girlfriend's windshield with nothing but my fist, I've shattered someone's eye socket because she shoved me at a party, I'm WAY too quick-witted and silver-tongued to be able to amend any sort of bridge-burning I end up doing.

It's easier just to let shit go.

>>119310844
what?

i thought the whole point is you can't find friends. it's not hard to find people.

first day of new class: no one knows eachother. say hi to person next to you and talk and you will make a friend for rest of class.

That feel when sometimes you still feel as a little kid.

Like when people my age are talking about doing drugs or being out partying, for a second I'm thinking "wat we're not allowed to do that". It just feels weird.
And I'm 6"2 with a deep as hell voice.

I don't know, it's hard to explain

>>119310799

>Lost all of my friends to drugs

Let me guess, they started smoking weed and you disowned them
Typical /v/rigin

>>119310971
>>119310971
>>119310971
are you me?

>>119310949

That was not the point at all, no.

Holy fuck the "lol so edgy xD" in this thread is fucking unbelievable. Grow the fuck up.

>>119311110
>Grow the fuck up.

Lead with example, please.

>>119310539
That's one thing I really don't want to see either. The day we fucking snap, it'll be a fucking sight to see, that's for sure.

>like sports
>keep up with the news
>pretty good looks and build
>outgoing, nice, humble, understanding
>no friends, no girlfirend. any attempts are pretty much blown off
ok so i have a few "friends" but i dont see them much. acquaintances?
>friend
>only watches anime and plays video games
>anime and video game posters all over his apartment
>shiba inu named zelda
>anime is limited to big 3 and a few other major ones
>video games is essentially just mario, zelda and final fantasy (has never heard of 90% of the things /v/ talks about)
>acts like anime/video game wizard
>wears mario messenger bag (club nintendo) abd gaming or anime clothing every day
>every word or situation is refereed to anime or final fantasy or zelda
>has 600 friends and bitches crawlin up to his dick, has a gf

>>119310971

Same here:

>All my classmates have a drivers license:
I don't want one as I am afraid of driving and driving is an adult thing.

>All of my classmates have a job:
I don't have one as I can't take any responsibility and always screw up

>All of my classmates know what they will become and on which uni they will go
I still have no idea

I don't want to grow up. I just want to sit in my parents basement and browse the web and play vidya games. FUCK!

>>119311008
It was originally weed, which I wasnt very comfortable with and would avoid them when they did do it.

It was when they started using needles that I stopped seeing them as friends.

I have one good friend that I went to Highschool with. We used to go on /b/ before it turned to shit after 2007 and now we are both usually on /v/. He goes to /a/ a lot though, strangely I don't go to /a/ but I watch way more anime than he does. Must be like where going to /v/ means you don't play as many videogames anymore.

I even shared my 40GB lolicon manga collection and 30 GB shota/trap manga collection with him.

You only need one good bro.

I play video games.

I'd say this problem solves itself, but if this nonvidya thread on a vidya imageboard is any indication, it won't solve anything for you.

I have a friend.
we coop on halo once in a while. split screen.

>>119310742
>some girl is into you

don't know that feel

I used to think how can i can cope with having no friends , but then i took an arrow in the knee.

>>119311288

That's not "losing your friends to drugs", that's you being one of those weird super uptight kids and missing out on bonding with your bros.
The last part sounds made up too

>>119311482

His reasoning is perfectly legitimate.

It's not like he went all "BUT WEED IS BAD FOR YOU MY DAD SMOKED 3 WEEDS AND DIED OF AN OVERDOSE". Some people just aren't comfortable with it, like how some people aren't comfortable with drinking.

To be honest, if he HAD said something to them, he might've helped them.

>>119310711

Holy fuck that pic is so depressing, it really sums up my life

>>119311482
>bonding up with your bros by doing drugs of any kind.

Why.

>>119310711

You truly are a faggot.

>>119310711

>but for some reason we don't because all we do is sit around in our house all day playing vidya.

Because if you don't try, you can never fail.

If you never fail, then you can safely assume "well, I WOULD have succeeded"

>>119311282
Are you dense? Nobody -wants- to take responsibility for themselves if they don't have to. But that's part of the deal of life. You get a 16-year long free ride, then you have to start taking care of your own shit.

>>119311584

To be honest with you the only people I ever knew growing up who weren't comfortable with weed where extremely sheltered or flat out weird, or both.
I knew people who didn't smoke, but they didn't act all weird about it and refuse to hang out.
You just bring social isolation on yourself acting like that.

>>119310711

Know the actually depressing part?
When you put all of your strenght in actually changing, get an active life, friends and goals, only to find out it wasn't really all that big of a deal, and everything remains just as pointless and non-sensical.
Self-pity ain't got shit compared to realization of futility.

>>119308149
I don't. And that, kids, is why I have been recently diagnosed with depression. It is also why I am cynical and bitter.

>>119310711
>>119310711
Almost but not quite.

We realize were better than all those fucks, which is exactly why we don't want to deal with them. Who in the right mind would want to be friends with these shallow, ignorant, inconsiderate fucks?

>>119311609

>Not smoking with your bros
>Not laughing so hard at each other's jokes
>Not playing vidya
>Not feeling an interest and intensity in th evidya unparalleled by any sober experience
>Not finding every tiny detail amazing or hilarious

I feel sorry for you anon

I'm personally just waiting for the galactic federation of light to beam me up on 2012.

Problem?

>>119311944

I used to smoke weed like you , but then i took an arrow in the knee.

>>119311944
>Needing to use drugs for any of those to apply.

I guess you are just... plain.

>>119311769

I wasn't comfortable with it when I was younger. Hell, I wasn't comfortable with it when my roommate did it 2 years ago.

I smoke now, but I feel like I'm mature enough to handle myself and allow myself limitations. His friends clearly weren't.

>>119312097

>using the "I don't need drugs to enjoy life" argument

Wow, you people are hilarious.
It's like someone offered you sprinkles to go on your icecream and you shout "I DON'T NEED SPRINKLES TO ENJOY MY ICECREAM" and throw them in their face

>>119311769
To be honest with you the only people I ever knew growing up who were comfortable with weed were extremely sheltered or flat out weird, or both.

It's hypocritical to act like nobody smokes weed, but it's just as hypocritical to act like it's "normal" and "everybody does it".

>>119309910
>>119309910
Are you me?
I used to be like a wiseman between my "friends" and I listened to all their shit until I realized that it was the same shit over and over again, and they would fall into this cycle of shit (especially in the love department) no matter what I would advise them to do. Now I just tell them to fuck off or to tell their problems to someone that actually gives a shit, surprisingly enough that hasn't actually cost me any "friends"

>>119312385
but sprinkles are unhealthy. so is weed. enjoy your early painful death

>>119312473
and theyre tasteless.

theyre pretty. so you think your ice cream is going to be more enjoyable but its just a pretentious ruse.

Not saying it's normal to smoke weed but the way that guy reacted was way over the top and it's his own fault he has no friends, that's all I'm saying.

>"I dislike sprinkles, they are far too sweet and give me stomach ache. I actually prefer to taste my icecream without additives."
>THAT'S SO WRONG.

>sprinkles are tasteless

What the fuck kind of sprinkles have you been eating.
Also the texture is amazing

>>119312385
but sprinkles wont kill you. hurr durr analogies

So i need to use drugs just to "fit in" because i can't enjoy vidya, laugh or other shit with people without it?

Jesus fuck what has society/media made all of you think

Feel sorry for ya OP.
At least you got /v/.

Yeah nah, theres no taste and the addition of random hard chunks takes away from what ice cream is supposed to be: soft

Sprinkles are like fucking rocks in the ice cream that just doesnt mesh well with the creamy texture, they look pretty though but I think ice creams are way better without those

>implying I said that at all

The whole point is people who say "I don't need drugs to enjoy life" and miss the point.
I'm not trying to force everyone to smoke weed, I was just trying to think of an analogy that might break through the dense brain of a /v/irgin but obviously not, /v/ hates social lfies and harmless fun.
Inb4 anecdotal evidence

Sprinkles = Drugs
This is some deep shit right there /v/ and im serious as hell

Because... I don't need it, nor want to partake in it. I don't, the idea disgusts me and I'd feel pathetic to partake in it. It's not harmless, and it's not my way of bonding with people. At all. Might work for other people, and they may do as they please. But I want nothing of it, and thus why I don't have - nor want - any friendship of the like. I am not complaining about people using it as means of boding, it simply baffles me someone considers it a must to bond with other people.

I like strawberry icecream.
