I'm fucking dying
| Hi, my name is Dying
| it turned out socializing irl is better
| The good news is that more and more people feel like this and exist as potential friends. The numbers are in your favor.
The bad news is we're all more isolated, both socially and by physical distance. So you have to put in more effort to find, organize and plan.
It sucks, but there's hope.
| Where do people go to socialize online?
>50% of answers: Discord
>50% of answers: Reddit
Ok
>check reddit, its full of bots and redditors

Where are the good discord servers?
>They are all Invite-only

don't spend all your waking time at the pc. also when you do, put some effort into it al people actually want to hang out with you/your surroundings. being a negative nancy or a whiny leech wont make you any friends

Step 1. Stop acting like this.
You deserve your loneliness when your actions and attitude is this shitty. Why would anyone hang out with this uninteresting whiner?

don't socialize online as often. listen to the voices in your head then direct them towards your passions (mine are gardening and LISP).
then go to offline meetups for said things (though that might be harder for LISP haha)
or just go to offline meetups for other stuff! i met my (ex) girlfriend through badminton

| Learn art, unironically
As an artist myself, I can 100% guarantee artists like being friends with other artists. For me, I don't have a friend who isn't an artist.
It just makes sense, if you see an artist whose style you fuck with and is in a similar vein as yours, chances are you can become friends
Compliment their art on socmed, thoughtfully. Don't just say 'hey that looks nice'. Earnestly compliment their shape language and stuff.
| Draw their OCs, quickest way to friendly. Share with them privately in DMs.
It doesn't matter if you're still noticeably new at art. The circle I run in has a lot of new artists and simple styles.
All this is of course assuming you actually enjoy art and appreciate it
| Maybe art isn't your thing, try writing! Something creative
| I think anyone can be an artist. I know it takes time, but honestly just draw or write 1hr a day - that is all you need. You'll see progress in a year or less. Take 30mins if you really can't on some days. You can't possibly be that busy and it's worth the effort for self-enrichment
| wPlace, you see someone put up pixel art of something you like and they connected their Discord, add em! Meet up
That's also worked for me

I already draw, I also write, make music, make small games and sometimes code (mostly in C).
I had art group friends years ago, in two occasions. Both times I found them by accident because we happened to be at the "start" of something (an art movement, a website) and there were not many artists around, and we were at similar skill levels.
Lost contact with them over the years, life happens and all, and I took a break from the Net.
| Last time I tried to make art friends, joined about 15 art discords over the span of 1 month, tried in Tumblr and even made it to the front-page of /r/comics once.
I didn't make any friends though, its as if even people with similar interests and a similar skill level do not seem very interested in talking, or playfully joke making art or stuff like that.
I found a lot of people drawing their own OCs and talking about it, and a few people asking for commissions, not a community.
| As for writing, I posted many of my writings in many places, and even joined Zines and stuff
People gave me some praise and maybe recognition, I'm happy someone once told me "(my story) was the best thing they read this month".
But this too didn't really lead to friends or fun, only likes and recognition... I don't really want likes and recognition, I don't want to feel like I'm "better" or stroke my ego.
I just want people I can vibe with, and have silly fun, collaborative fun.
| I was extemely frustrated when I posted this thread and
>>1078376
Right now Im just kinda down about the whole thing.
I think maybe I'm the problem somehow, maybe things changed too much and people are way more serious now and doing things for fun isn't a thing anymore, or maybe Im just that weird and that makes me an outcast even on the net, I don't know.
I hope to find some online friends when I get my computer back. Maybe I'll join the digital circus fandom or something.
| Danger/u/ has a discord server, that might help you out with some form of loneliness.
| It's important to seperate your own personal depression vis a vis the depression from the ongoing collapse of everything.

>just hang out with people around you
Such an insane thing to say so casually, I don't know how it's so common to just be born in a place where you find people with similar interests? Is that normal? As a kid I thought people who made music and stuff I liked weren't actually real because how was it possible that no one around me can appreciate anything I'm into? They just gave me weird stares when I showed them stuff, they're subhuman and I will never hang out with them
| It really is over for you then
| >>1078590
That’s so real gurl. My therapist says I’m building life skills with my new job and to focus on what I have achieved and they are really right about that! I think u need some life skills building steps if that helps me and to slowly grow closer to people with your values. I hope u do! It’s a big road *nuzzle head pats rubs*
| >>1078590
I know the feeling, gurl
I have to move out of this shitty small town, I'm in the same boat
Sadly all interesting people seem to flock to big cities (I don't like big cities, nature is my thing)
| why should i go on yes, lets fucking drink ourselves to death

| 90% of forums are dead
Discord can't long-text discussion like forums, you talk about something RN or you miss out, forget replying to a 5 year old thread.
Reddit is like the retarded child of a Twitter and a PHP forum, it does neither good and it sucks ass, redditors are also dumb AF
4chin shat the bed and died, but newfags had already ruined it by 2014 anyways
Alt-chans have about 1 post every 3 days
Where the fuck do people socialize online anymore??? Its all shit!
