Hi Sup Forums I work long hours and live with a bunch of people for work. I fly home every few weeks for time off. I don't have many friends. It's really hard to make friends. I feel sad a lot of the time because of that. It's also hard for me to like many people, they annoy me or don't live up to my expectations of a friend. I'm quite introverted. What makes it worse is I'm in my mid 30s. Sometimes I cry because of it. No one at work knows how I feel about this, and none of my family do either.
How do I make friends when I'm already this old and so picky about who I spend time with? I'm not autistic, just really depressed.
You already have friends, user. We are your friends.
I know exactly how you feel, it's lonely for people like us out there. Hope you feel better user. Never give up. Some of the greatest people to ever live went threw the same things we go threw >pic related

Easy, kill yourself you will have literally 0 problems after you do that.
Cameron Lewis
I will ask for help from anyone
Cooper Allen
Well, statistically speaking SOMEBODY has to die alone, I guess that's you! So in a way it's like you're special!
Nathaniel Flores
I can't do that because I have a four year old daughter
William Mitchell
pillars don't need friends
Ryan Hill
I'm about to be 33 in a month's time and I know what you're going through. I just won a terrible struggle against some pretty awful drugs. I have 3 kids, 1 son and 2 daughters.
Don't be so fucking selfish. You have a daughter, she's yours, you owe her a future with a father.
Stop being weak. Nobility and strength define a man, not pity and desire.
Jose Hall
I'm pretty much in the same situation you are in now, OP. Having hobbies you can do with other people would be extremely helpful. If you're one of those """""people""""" who considers Sup Forums to be their only interest then God have mercy on your soul.
Bentley Reyes
>How do I make friends I'll be your friend
Kayden Morales
Stop watching porn it's fucking up your dopamine which makes you find everyone dull and annoying
Dylan Cook
You're right. I don't have any hobbies I share at the moment
Brayden King
hang in there mate. get yourself some counselling if possible, maybe CBT or NLP would help. and maybe download/buy the Mindful way through depression (book or audio) and do the meditation, will help loads. Chin up!
James Morris
>No one at work knows how I feel about this, and none of my family do either there's your problem, nigga you're waiting for others to come up to you if you want to talk to someone, open up and talk, it's that simple
Joshua Morales
I have no real friends, I go weeks on end without talking to anyone... the weird thing is I really don't mind all that much.
It's a bit embarrassing -- but when I around people I'm usually a bit bored and want to go home anyway.
It would be perfect to even have 1 person who is on the same wavelength -- but I don't fret about it too much anymore...
Connor Thomas
I'm the same way, extreme introvert. Only people I ever talk to are family and cashiers.
Logan Hall
Hi faggot, I'm responding to your faggot thread, about being gay. I just wanted to drop a line and tell you just how much I was thinking about how shit your posts are, and that you're a faggot. Also, I hate you.
Sebastian Cox
Don't have unrealistic expectations of happiness. Who told you that you should be happy?
Most of my friends from childhood are now dead. Their happiness is neither here nor there.
Interact with the world around you. Humans get schizo as fuck if they don't have social interaction of some kind. It's just as important as physical activity. Weak body, weak mind, weak soul - strengthen everything about yourself, and stop looking at the internet to gauge your relative happiness.
The world is huge. It's enough to make anyone feel vastly alone. You are not.
Luke Clark
The best friends are found in books.
Zachary Jackson
Get a hobby mate i have lived in many places in australia and new Zealand and thanks to wargaming i have never not had a least one mate.
Henry Morgan
you and your imaginary friends. lol
Cooper Mitchell
Master at being friendless and a loner AMA
Gavin Lopez
just kill her too
Asher Cook
This is now a /soc/ invasion of Sup Forums, state A/S/L, posters with same ending post number must add each other and become friends.
Dylan Perry
this is why i come to Sup Forums, for some reason this kind of post feels friendlier to me than the fake pretending to care people express on reddit all the time
Parker Sullivan
How do you not kill yourself
Christopher Miller
Even though you're kind of joking, I get the same feeling, if you're being a little bitch on pol you'll get 10 people telling you to kill yourself and 1 person responding with actual really decent advice.
Leo Thomas

Chase Wilson
Train her up. Turn her into a Metabaron.
Mason Lee
Whats it like being me?
Isaiah Thompson
Have to make friends with people who enjoy the same things. A sport, church, reading group, drinking, etc. Whatever it is you like.
Nicholas Lewis
This guy seems to have perspective and know what's up. Listen to him.
Camden Evans
similar feel. I wish i had friends but i understand that the type of people i might want to be around are few and far between.
my "friendships" are always one sided, more similar to the relationship between a Professor and student. Where I'm constantly lecturing and correcting their Obvious mistakes as they provide no meaningful insight. As useful as a person holding a door that could be replaced with a door stop.
it might be nice to enjoy them. its like having Color vision in a world of black and white, perpetually unsatisfied.
Connor White
With that lifestyle nothing will change, you need a new job.
Kevin Sanchez
It's lonely at the top.....or....you could just strive to get in the herd and be blue pilled.
Cameron Jenkins
Its too bad there are no anons near the texas mexico border, I could really use some friends. >t. TheValley I havent talked to anyone outside of the people I live with, and one neighbor for almost a year now. I live in a converted walk in closet.
Evan Bennett
you sound like such a fag, i feel the same way about everybody around me too, but i would never want to hang out with a faggot like that said shit like that. kill yourself fag mkay? ill do same k tx byi
Justin Johnson
I am in sort of the same position. I am 27. I work 60-70 hours a week, every week. I only have sundays off and by then I am too tired to do anything. I literally go to work and come home. It fucking sucks but the money is great and I need it. I get so lonely and not only do I not know what to do, but I couldn't do it anyway because I never have time. Fuuuuuck.
Austin Baker
Fucking rekt I felt the exact same way when I read that post.
Nathaniel Richardson
Oh what a friend we have in Jesus! He loves you so so so much OP, more than your mind can comprehend, cry out to him and he will comfort you!
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)

Great photo-op proving women know how to play chess.
Very Impressive!
Logan Parker
Masterful shitposting right here. I really enjoyed it. Everyone take note.
Dylan Collins
What if the photo-op organizer does this on purpose? Pretty much every white person knows how to set up a chess board.
William Green
Find god.

Beggars can't be choosers user.
People we meet show us our shadow. What annoys us most about other people are the things we don't like about ourselves. Attitudes are contagious, so are smiles. Personal information shared between two people is how bonds are formed. Some people love to talk, ask them questions. Some people just need a compliment. It's not fair to to yourself to create distance without giving people a shot. Give yourself as much information about someone you can before you rush to judgment or solidify your opinion of them.
Being nice gives you the mental high ground with normies, practice it.
Brody Barnes

David Nelson
Honestly... if you'll settle for 'internet friends' then online gaming.
Find a multiplayer game you can tolerate, and go to the /vg/ general for it and check out if there are guilds/discords etc.
If it's IRL contact you really need then it's a bit harder. Book/reading clubs still exist. Hobby clubs.
There are options, but most will probably involve you trying something new, which brings risk.
You have a daughter, is she part of any groups or anything where you could interact with other parents?
Robert Miller
thank for this note taken, Sup Forums is a christian board after all.
No seriously, OP, cheer up. We´re all somewhat dead inside, normies are just painfully bad at coming to terms with it. At the end of the dead, the dark creeps in on most people. We cry, we laugh, we doubt, we hope. Emotions run wild, emotions are stable. Life is not guaranteed to be fun all the time. The more you know, the more you inclined to have doubt; which is why normies seem so painfully careless with regards to everything outside their own, little social circle. Rejoice in the fact that you´re a somewhat knowledgeable person, who cares.
Remember. Those who have given up, once cared too much.
Redefine what happiness means to you evaluate how to achieve it then. We´re not all cut out for being blissful facebook meme sharing, starbucks gobbling consumer pigs.
David Garcia
why not just online date? Find someone to settle down with, and then it's easier to make friends as a couple when you're that age.
Nathan Perry
get a headset read books to yourself out loud listen to your recordings
Camden Cruz
Not alone you have Jesus
Matthew Gray

Logan Gomez
All you "introverts" are in all likelihood just ugly.
Cameron Cook
Are you ugly? Just curious. I'm 7/8 according to /soc/.
Christopher Walker
Exactly. People are so fucking boring. Give me the internet any day.
Hunter Wright
Are people boring because everyone is dishonest with each other, just a facsimile of themselves, or are they actually just dull cunts with nothing interesting about them. I have a neighbor that seems like a literal npc occasionally. Sometimes new behavior comes along but it isnt often.
Jose Cruz
Jesus is fiction, champ. Try to offer some useful advice, ok?
Henry Allen
here, the answer to loneliness
Brandon Reyes
Go drinking with your work colleagues when the opportunity arises user, plus focus on making yourself better eg. better at your job, becoming fit, lifting, enrolling into a course online, reading books etc.
Luke Cruz
you're fiction
Andrew Fisher
i lost all my friends to roasty cunts lol. making new friends in your 30 is fucking hard. But i work construction so i get 40 hours of social interactiom a week, but weekends are starting to bum me out.. Playing vidya only makes me feel like a loser. I see can symphatize.
Tyler Cooper
>t.newfag Dont you know about christposting? Its a meme.
Lincoln Morales
