I only have 2 real friends, I've known them since 3rd grade.

If I never met them, I would have no friends right now, and probably never have friends because it's very hard to meet friends after the post-elementary/high school time period.

To tell you the truth, I think alot of you guys with no friends, wouldn't even want friends.

I have one friend I've known since middle school. We type to each other over skype passively throughout the day, and occasionally screenshare one of us playing a video game.

In high school there were a few people I would talk to because I was in the school band, but the most we would do is talk a little.

>> No.9157775

I got a couple of those "friends" things. I met them years ago when we were all still normals.
I'm not a normal anymore but they stayed my friends because we knew each other so long. Usually I think its harder to make close friends as you get older, so if your out of high school and got no close friends then start making imaginary ones (hot loli ones).

I met mines mostly in school.
Perhaps 6th grade is where I met most of my current good friends.
I had a couple class with them. Their all pretty good-hearted. Yeah they curse, might do some wicked things every now and then, and I I'm only in contact with a few, but I think if we were in trouble, we would come to each others aid, I hope.

not sure what counts as friends... i though i had real friendships but none of them lasted more than a year or two (rarely). prett much all of them involved me getting a crush on said friend. all but one were full of weird drama and ended up messy.

i aquired them by messaging random people from the internets who wrote nice posts. didn't work every time, but some of them did turn into friendships. but like i said, they would always end bad.

Speaking of socialising, I finally tried the /jp/ IRC channel. Idled all day.

Over about 6 hours the only conversation was normalfag stuff like classes. Also, "implying", "that feel" and other such /v/ shit is all totally accepted.

So this is what I've been missing out on all this time.

Do you mean friends IRL? I think mine were a fluke, I was ready to go through uni alone, playing video games on my old laptop when some /a/-level guys approached me while I played StepMania and it went from there.

I'm of the silent-type so I never actively make them, and of the curious type so I always have knowledge about most topics, so they got into the habit of calling me senpai since I was a person to go to when wondering about something.

While they're okay to hang around and play vidya like Monster Hunter together with, I can't say I can openly talk about VNs and doujin games which I like more. Also they're mainstreaming that meme fad which I abhor. I did make some "e-friend"s though which I feel more at ease and probably closer to than my IRL friends.

Yep, and one is even a Touhou fan too. It's kinda annoying though, since I have my friends I made in high school down where I live, who I miss while I'm at school, and then my friends I've made at college, who I miss when I'm on break. They all live too far away from each other, and it makes me sadface. Ah well, we keep in touch regardless (thank Madoka for Google+).

I also have all y'all I've met online. Not 4chan specifically, but around the internet. Decent folk, mostly.

Yeah but I rarely go out and actually see them since they are busy with their own thing. At this point they are really just internet and text message friends.

I do. One of them I made during highschool. I had lost my way to one of the classrooms and noticed a familiar face I saw at the opening ceremony who was in my class. I asked him if he was from my class and if he, too, was lost. Itold him to follow me, to find our back to the classroom. While we were at it, we exchanged names. We still talk today.

Most of my other friends, I made them in primary school. In a time where you can say and do anything without consequence. So I really don't remember how exactly I bonded with them.

I found a few in high school. They were also World of Warcraft addicts. And then some of them converted to Mormonism. Not even joking.

Yeah, not really a step up.

>> No.9157932

Nope. I used to have a few friends that I met through playing D&D years back, but I haven't seen any of them in multiple years, so.

After getting told 'I'm busy' repeatedly whenever the subject of meeting up came up, I just stopped bothering (and by now, I really don't care, I'd rather just stay inside, play a VN and take it easy.) I wonder if they did it intentionally to get rid of me. Entirely possible.

>> No.9158000

My problem was that I almost stayed in my home town, surrounded by uneducated, uncommunicative and selfish people. Sure, everybody was talkative as hell but nobody cared about how things work and why. Ignoring all advice, I enrolled into a university and it changed my life. Just keep looking. The ones who don't play glitter games are hard to find.

University had the opposite effect on me. I was hoping people who get this far up the educational ladder would have some sense in their heads, but it quickly became obvious the vast majority of people manage to get this far because their parents paid for their grades in private schools.
