Loneliness

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

I cant see what the world is missing out on.

suck a dick

Easy, kill yourself you will have literally 0 problems after you do that.

I will ask for help from anyone

Well, statistically speaking SOMEBODY has to die alone, I guess that's you! So in a way it's like you're special!

I can't do that because I have a four year old daughter

pillars don't need friends

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.

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.

>How do I make friends
I'll be your friend

Stop watching porn it's fucking up your dopamine which makes you find everyone dull and annoying

You're right. I don't have any hobbies I share at the moment

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!

>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

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...

I'm the same way, extreme introvert.
Only people I ever talk to are family and cashiers.

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.

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.

The best friends are found in books.

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.

you and your imaginary friends. lol

Master at being friendless and a loner
AMA

just kill her too

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.

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

How do you not kill yourself

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.

Rolling

Train her up. Turn her into a Metabaron.

Whats it like being me?

Have to make friends with people who enjoy the same things. A sport, church, reading group, drinking, etc. Whatever it is you like.

This guy seems to have perspective and know what's up. Listen to him.

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.

With that lifestyle nothing will change, you need a new job.

It's lonely at the top.....or....you could just strive to get in the herd and be blue pilled.

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.

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

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.

Fucking rekt
I felt the exact same way when I read that post.

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!

Masterful shitposting right here.
I really enjoyed it.
Everyone take note.

What if the photo-op organizer does this on purpose? Pretty much every white person knows how to set up a chess board.

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.

try drugs

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?

thank for this
note taken, Sup Forums is a christian board after all.

better version for you friends

BUT MUH REDDIT SPACING

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.

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.

get a headset
read books to yourself out loud
listen to your recordings

Not alone you have Jesus

wat

All you "introverts" are in all likelihood just ugly.

Are you ugly? Just curious.
I'm 7/8 according to /soc/.

Exactly. People are so fucking boring. Give me the internet any day.

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.

Jesus is fiction, champ. Try to offer some useful advice, ok?

here, the answer to loneliness

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.

you're fiction

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.

>t.newfag
Dont you know about christposting?

AND YOU WILL NEVER FEEL LONELY.
