i just graduated high school, and i've come to realize that i don't have many friends outside of school, since i don't talk to anybody. i'm a friendly person who can be a little annoying from time to time, i'll admit, but i'm not a bad person. why is it that people just don't want to befriend me? am i a person who just gives off unfriendly attitudes? please help me Sup Forums. i'm going insane.

Learn to be ok with being quiet.. many people don't want to listen to everything that occurs to you

Well honestly you need to do like all of the reaching out to the people in your life. Invite people out, make plans, be the starter.

Honestly just be open to people and see what happens

i've grown up being quiet. moving around every few years, never keeping many friends, until about 5 years ago when i stayed in a high school, and actually had some friends, or so i thought. being quiet is something that i've learned to deal with.

i am open with people. i always have been. i've always invited people to things, but then they say they're busy with family or school stuff, and then i hear about their amazing party or get-together on the day i invited them.

Well, its only May, you just graduated, and you are already bitching about not having friends. Good fucking luck. Are you at least going to college. I made a ton of friends my first few weeks of college without even trying to socialize.

i'm having a break year, family needs me to help with a lot of things, and i can't go to college during that time.

self bump. somebody, anybody, please tell me what i should do with my life. am i just a waste of oxygen and atoms?

Then I'll tell yah what ya got to do cause I am actually a lot like you. Keep yourself busty with your work, stay active, work on improving yourself and earning some money. When you get to school just find a few good friends who you like being with. Of all the people I have met at uni there are only like 4 guys I actually like and they have been my best god dam friends for the past 2 years. Unless you just lock yourself in your room this should not be too hard.

i am earning money, but it's not good, and 80% of it goes to my family. and i go out, all the time, just walking around my small town, being friendly and whatnot.

If money is an issue than fuck it, work in improving yourself in other ways, Get in shape or something. Also when you just go out by yourself you are interacting with people who already have a friend group, most people are out to enjoy themselves not meet new people. In your first year of uni you will be surrounded by people who are looking for new friends. Most people will be like you, they are out of high-school, their friends are in other schools, and they want to meet new people. If you don't shut yourself out for the first week you will meet people, while you wait just learn to like being by yourself for a bit. Also a lot of freshman will be going straight from HS to uni, you have a whole year to make yourself a more interesting person, use it.

that's very true, but what i'm the most scared/nervous of is being too open with people, or saying something that could set somebody off, and then i lose them. i'm in shape, i workout regularly, and i try to hang out with people all the time. i don't do any drugs or drink at all, and don't plan on doing it. i can't really make myself a more interesting person.

Do you really want to censor yourself for all of college. Those 4 guys I told you about are the ones I can completely be myself around. Its boring to be around people who you wouldn't be friends with just to have somebody and in my opinion you are better off alone.

Get a hobby, you can definitely make yourself more interesting.

it's not that i'm censoring myself, it's who i am.

i have video games and building computers. that's about it.

you need to grow up if your only friends are from school.

my parents have always been strict. i never could really do anything outside of school or school related clubs.

Where do you live OP

Yes

>it's who i am
>i'm the most scared/nervous of is being too open with people, or saying something that could set somebody off
You are going to do exactly what one of my HS friends did. He was into video games and computers, he had a good group of HS friends, me included, he was happy. Then he got depressed about not going to parties and stuff, thought he could do better and tried to make himself somebody he wasn't. He cut himself of from his old friends, and tried to meet as many new people in college as possible. He had nothing in common with the people he was trying to be friends with and 3 years later is a jaded fuck with no friends. Don't go down that road. Just find some guys you like playing vidya games with or something and you will do fine.

I thought you would've played a bit of sports in highschool atleast, I find playing for a team can make you friends anywhere easily. Just find a relevant club that suits your interests once you're going to uni

He just graduated, if his only friends at the moment are people he went to high school with then he is just an average American. He should start to worry if he cant make friends in uni.

get a job and make friends there

i played tennis. a non-team sport.
i work for a privately owned company ran by 70 year olds. i'm the only one younger than 60.
i'm trying not to go down that road, and the people i play vidya with hate playing with me bc i'm bad, apparently.

Honestly college and work are the easiest places to meet people, not sure how else you're hoping to find friends

I honestly love how threads like this exist among the loli, porn, trap, gore, etc. threads and other shit you'd normally find on Sup Forums. Makes me restore my faith in humanity a little

Im about done with this thread. You just keep making excuses. My final word on this is to find a few good bros to enjoy playing video games with and take the next year to learn to like yourself. All of the problems you have brought up are issues you point out in yourself, not problems others point out. I don't know you but I am pretty fucking sure you are exaggerating these problems. If you can't like yourself how to expect others to like you.

You can also go to a gloryhole

Gloryhole to spice things up, that's a good point

>Unless you just lock yourself in your room this should not be too hard.

Locking yourself in a room for 15 years is even easier once you manage to get a remote position. Roll out of bed, work. Fap that evening and sleep. Only leave the room to hit the bathroom or the fridge. Once a week hit the grocery.

> a charmed life indeed.

Do community service, i joined studemt gov and honors clubs

though there are always assholes, youll also meet good people, most of the time they are sociable, and you get fast friends and do good same time
