i don't have any close friends and it sucks
| Same here.
My two closest friends have moved from town and have kids now. But we still talk from time to time.
My ex moved into a building close to where I live so now I see he and her new man all the time. It sucks.
Ever since covid hit I haven't spoken to a single person.
| Damn. I'm sorry. Finding online friends helped me a lot. My closest friend is someone who lives across the world, but having an amazing person you can talk to every day is a blessing. It can be kinda hard to find people like that, but, I wish you luck :)
| I've been trying for too long to find someone who I actually connect with. I've almost given up I stg.

If you give up you'll never have any. It's your choice though, but giving up on getting friends gets you nowhere.
| i have no friend
| we could be all close friends ^_^

Not with that attitude!
Making new friends is hard work, you have to put in effort every day to be social, which is hard if you've been friendless for a long time. Heck, it' s hard unless you are super outgoing! But it pays off in the end.

It's hard to make new friends, and it's even harder to keep friends, because then you have certain expectations to meet and obligations to uphold. And frankly, I find it rather exhausting and always end up disappointing said "friends" in the end.
| I'm too selfish to have friends. I loathe most people and my expectations are too high.

You're not selfish. You're retarded. There's a difference. If you actually were selfish you would use other people to get happiness, aka have friends, because that would give you good feelings and a lot of benefits.
>I loathe most people and my expectations are too high.
That's not being selfish, that's being sheltered.
| Who gives a shit
do you want pity? Fuck off
| Oh boohoo i doNt hAvE friEnDs
| I know that feel
Luckily i have a steady supply of pot, 2 cats, and video games to keep my spirits up

Having cats must be nice. I used pot and videogames to keep the loneliness at bay but it can only do so much. After some time it stopped working.
| >>686951
Damn. That sounds pretty great tbh. Like, I do have friends, but I want that too, because, well, having friends doesn't stop you from feeling lonely.
| >>686955 >>686991
The cats are the saving grace tbh. Sometimes i just wanna lie in bed for 18 hours and they are happy to oblige.

| it makes me sad knowing i'm pretty much always the one initiating conversations, trying to keep in touch, or do things with them. i just want some friends to talk with. i've been lonely for a long time and covid giving me even less social interaction with people made it worse.
i have a lot of hobbies and things to do to distract me, but when i get tired of them for the day there's nothing left for me to do.
