All my friends and non friends are literally all offline, haven't heard from some of them in over a year they never came back. Idk what their doing these days but it seems like its over and time to move on. Social media is dead.

My friends i use to play games with are gone too even deleted their accounts. They probably got bored or nothing is fun anymore. I literally buy new online games and play it on my own but i guess my time is up too. Thanks for the memories.

ive been contemplating on cancelling my internet cause i only browse websites these days i use to play games a lot then over the years its died to the point of me being too old and seen enough.

My only 2 friends died in a car crash

>>105911312
I have a friend who wants to play some new game with me that comes out but hes always landing his ass in jail for felonys kek.

>>105911243 (OP)
isn't centralization wonderful? everyone is exposed to the same ideas so there's nothing worth talking about. cool right? remember to thank mr shekelberg when you cry yourself to sleep tonight

>>105911243 (OP)
not had internet friends since 2011. i went away for w years and upon returning things were not the same. i play all online games on my own now. i even get anxious when joining an open race on forza horizon 5. i hate myself because im so miserable as i have no irl friends either.

>>105911243 (OP)
talking to people on discord gets very sad after age 25. i hate getting old

i bought a new pc last year and time is fast im considering selling it already cause over the months my friends just dissapeared and i literally wake up turn on my pc and realise im going to be playing some lame ass cod on my own again then i just close it and go back to bed shit sucks.

>>105911243 (OP)
Have you considered contacting them, saying something like "hey haven't talked to you in a while and just wanted to say high".
Like that shouldn't be to hard.

>>105911375

if i could just take heroin id be able to entertain people on my stream all day. as i cant im a boring old man just talking to myself on stream for 6 hours

>>105911312
The one I had died on a bike, I hadn't any others for nearly 10 or so years until I met my girlfriend. You end up finding your way back to people one way or another, even if you're super comfortable with being alone in the meantime as I had been.

>>105911284

Yea i have. Thats what im saying is i havent heard from them in a long time.

You're all fucking here complaining about having nobody to complain to. Someone here just make a discord or something and you can all chat together without feeling self-conscious cause you know you're talking to other loners. If you're all too pussy to do even that then no wonder you're alone.

>>105912312
Some are irl friends

What? The people im talking about are irl friends too.

man i have the same situation. i had a pretty big community(like 15 people) in a discord server of my minecraft server. ine third muted the server and me. another third just left. and the last third got hit with sanctions(the server is russian and discord is banned there)

P.S. they were actual friends, we used to hang out irl. but then i moved out of russia and a year later the war started

>>105913082
I still have them on facebook but their just ranting and playing other games.

My buddy also died on a motorcycle 2 months ago. He was pretty much the only person aside from my few immediate family members that I was close to.
I hope it doesn't take me 10 years to find a new person to connect with.
How did you end up meeting your girl?

>>105913213
If you're looking for it at all more than I was, then you surely would I believe.
Unironically we were mutuals over Facebook at some point, then we played League together for a bit in the early 2010's. Stayed friends with her for 6 or so years before we properly got together.

As my life got worse I had less good things to talk about and more negative things to talk about.
I know nobody wants to hear or discuss negative things so I just never say anything anymore, and seemingly neither does anyone else.
These days, it seems like most people go out of their way to avoid communication, and I do too.

>>105911243 (OP)
i'll be your friend anon

>>105911243 (OP)
Games aren't worth playing anymore.
Social media is full of censorship and bot propagandists.
Media has become insufferable thanks to jews and hollywood.

Most normal people just stay at home and jerk off all day, or venture outside to do other normie things like hobbies, hobbies that aren't as kiked because big tech never had their arm up its ass to begin with. Like hiking, or becoming an alcoholic/homebrewing, having sex, or shit like woodworking and hunting.

For people still playing online games they find themselves muted for saying things or they simply learned already and don't use the in-game chats at all. The golden era of online gaming is gone and never coming back.

Impossible to make internet friends now. No way to organically meet anyone anymore. Every communication channel wants full dox. All the channels that don't are dead.

I'm selling everything I own soon. Buying a DR650. Paying the high fee to have it imported into Japan after I ride across my home country. Then I'm never returning. I'll live out my days camping in the woods and riding around Japan until I starve to death.

Make new friends

I miss my covid Hypixel friend group. I pretty much just ghosted them but I wish I could speak to them again because I have had zero friends for 7 years.

Soon almost anything online will be bots and AI slop and people will get tired of it and return to meeting up in the real world. You VILL return to monke and you VILL be happy

>>105914249

>>105914249
I don't think anon is gay

>>105914268
that's a romantic thought but we both know that won't happen
people already struggle to simply pull a trigger, you won't just starve to death, especially in Japan where you'll never be more than 10 miles from some road

>>105911285
Is making new friends that difficult?

>>105911243 (OP)
I've never had a true friend that knows who I am. I haven't had any social relationships for many years. I am hated by everyone. It's a good thing I hate everyone as well, it makes it all easier to deal with.

>>105915536

>people already struggle to simply pull a trigger, you won't just starve to death
I've already practiced by going without food for 3 weeks and I felt fine once the hungry passed on day 3
>especially in Japan where you'll never be more than 10 miles from some road
You have no idea how remote some parts of Japan are and how far a determined man on a dual-sport can go off road.

I will starve to death on top of some mountain and become mummy. 1,000 years from now the Japanese will come to worship at the gaijin mummy and write stories about my travels. I will be featured in anime as a cute anime girl.

To meet people online, you have to engage in deep terminally online spaces like vrchat. In that sense you can easily find friends.

>>105915738
This. People don't realize you have to find new friends all the time, it's a permanent process like getting food. Life long friendships are very rare in real life.

>>105915738

I noticed this too. But then i realized all of them have kids and jobs and they just dont find new games fun so they dont go on steam no more. Even me an avid gamer play 10h a week max now . Nothing to play desu

It's mostly COVID, Censorship, and AI related.
I left social media. I consider myself a tech guy who would have fun on social media but honestly it fucking sucks now.
>Ban for posting a joke
>Ban cause some hypersensitive faggot that picked a fight got bullied too hard by me
>Ban for linking to factual statements and documents
Then I see a mass push for data collection to train AI, and realize sarcasm and unwanted facts train AI to say things the people controlling it don't like.

So I left.
I have no plans on coming back.
Being treated the way I was durring COVID is something not easily forgotten or forgiven, especially by people who just move on to the next "current thing" and just pretend they were never wrong and I am being dramatic.
Yeah, it's loneliner. And honestly, not seeing the same brainrot everyone else is has made me realize that everyone is brainwashed, so it's hard to relate IRL as well. But you find solice in the little things more and more everyday.
I am viewed as a likable and funny person by most, despite no one understanding jokes anymore.
But it is hard to get close to people.
Social media is like having a shitty bitchy gossiping friend whispering shit in to everyones head 24/7.
No one seems to get that what they are seeing isn't a chronological order of people they followed and keep in touch with, it's a stream of shit the owners of the platform want you to see.
I'd like to see alternatives, but they always get hacked and destroyed in strange suspicious ways shortly after picking up steam.

So I've just stuck to playing games, watching occasional videos, listening to audio books and podcasts, some 4chan surfing, and some purchasing on Amazon as all I really do anymore.
Everything else is kinda dead (even 4chan to be honest). Any real friends can text me. Other than that I will just go out and explore now and meet people out and about. I don't use social media so when they ask me for mine I don't have much of an answer.

>>105918072
>mostly have kids and jobs
Yeah this isn't the reason why. The landscape changed between the early-mid 2010s and now. I was already an old fart during that time and had been gaming online for 20 years by that point (well since Q3A on PC and Dreamcast). I had a bunch of friends that already had kids in the range of 3-13 years old during the late 2000s-early 2010s who stayed up all night playing on Xbox Live and PC then went to work on no sleep. We regularly did 12+ hour sessions in FPS and MMORPGs. We regularly met people through public voice chat and all had friends lists with 100+ people we only knew through the internet. Would regularly have to remove people I hadn't played with in a couple of weeks to make room for new friends I'd made on Xbox Live due to the 100 friend limit or whatever it was set at.

Now it's impossible to meet anyone like that. Everyone is tucked away in some private voice chat and refuses to come out of their safe space. Can't banter either because those groups will gang up and abuse reporting system to get your account banned and/or limited.

>>105911243 (OP)
Back in the day I had so many friends online. I used to chat to countless peeps every night on AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger etc. Now I maybe message one friend once a week on Facebook.

>online friends
The Internet was a mistake.

Is ham radio the way?

>>105919275
It sucks unless you're interested in talking to the same 3 guys for at most an hour a day. Here let me give you an idea of what ham radio is like;
>This is <faggot> checking in
>hey <faggot> this is <megafaggot> how are you this morning? I'm on my way to the diner like every morning
>Hi <megafaggot>! I'm on my way to work
>10-4 76!

Then around 5pm-6pm later that day
>It's <megafaggot> anyone copy?
>Hi <megafaggot> it's <faggot> I'm on mobile on my way home from work
><insert 20 minutes of dumb gossip>
><insert 15 minutes of more dumb goassip when <superfaggot> joins the chat
>"Break break! I need help! Can someone call 911 for me and let them know I'm bleeding out on <highway>
>Unknown station broadcasting out of <location> this is <megafaggot> and our repeater owns this club. Did you know it's illegal to transmit on OUR band without a license? I will be forced to report you to the FCC if you don't give me your home address right now!
>"Help me! Please! I'm dying"
>Hey <megafaggot> me and <superfaggot> just triangulated this unknown station he's broadcasting from <location near by> and I'm writing an email to the FCC right now
>"Please...help me"
>Let's ignore them. So anyway, the old lady stole my balls and put them in her purse. So I can't buy that new headlight for my Harley this month. I'm thinking about buying a tailight instead that'll show her! Gotta pick your battles!
><2 more hours of boomer talk until they go to bed at 9pm then silence for the next 11-12 hours>
>2 hour regchew session every Sunday where they all rant about how no one wants to join their club while shitting all over anyone less than 80 years old

>>105911307
See you tomorrow.

>>105919652
This sounds based.

>>105919275
>>105919652
If you mean for networking it's a no-go either. Since all encrypted broadcasts are banned and the baudrate is slow as fuck. Some guy in the EU managed to get 100-/+kbps off their ham bands. But using the modem is illegal most everywhere else for <reasons>.

ham radio is really crap now though. Plus it's also a huge money pit. I do not suggest getting started unless you want to build your own radio or learn how RF works. Which is useful of course. But the actual "community" is really awful. Don't let them fool you into thinking there are wise Elmers all over the airwaves. It isn't true. Most of them are boring as fuck to talk to and they're all snitches. On top of that they usually never have anything interesting to say.

>>105919703
Its not. Go to local diner at 6-7am on weekend. Listen to the 55-75 year old men talk among themselves. Now imagine there are only 2-3 of them and they're the most annoying of the bunch and do nothing but talk about themselves. Now imagine they do this for only 30 minutes-1 hour a day during times of day when anyone with a life can't participate. Now imagine they'll refuse to talk to anyone they don't already know by name.

That's basically what ham radio is now. They don't even bother to schedule testing locally here anymore because no one ever shows up. I think they only hold them twice a year. They aren't interested in giving you advice or helping you get started either. They'll just shit on whatever radio you bought to start out and play janny over the local repeaters. Since they got all the high ground decades ago and won't let anyone else do anything fun with it. God forbid you mention wanting to do anything with ham that involves a computer.

>>105911243 (OP)
I've never had friends. Not even internet ones.

>>105915605
nta but it's really not that hard. if it's a time issue like you're in deep into a career or you've got a newborn, i'd get it, but 9 times out of 10 on this site, people complain about having no friends, and when people give them obvious advice, they reply with
>i literally can't make friends, dude, i'm not in high school / college anymore
which is a very sad lens through which to view life because most people in most periods of human existence have had friends regardless of age. your great great great great .... x1000 grandfather probably had friends, and he didn't have access to the pool of people you do. take a moment to acknowledge that you're really not trying, then open up your mind and listen to the advice people are giving you. unless of course you're just a depressive schizo who doesn't want help. been there done that, and trust me, pretending it's out of your hands isn't going to make it any easier to spend yet another birthday/holiday by yourself.

It doesn't have to be this way. Just make your own fucking site, your own fucking community, and deliberately try to reach out and find new people to discuss with.

I've already done this multiple times. Even had a few take off with a lot of users. Same thing always happens. First comes the flood of bots and paid posters then comes the ddos. Unless you make roolz that make the place just as sanitized and faggy as everywhere else of course. Those really concerned users that never posted anything before are always eager to sign up to be moderators as well.

That's because you're not their friend. You're the only one thinking like that.

My parents tell me to find new friends.

>i find a new friend and they ghost me the next day and block me
>i find online friend, they turn out to be a troll and talking down on me every day

The real reason no one is making new friends and losing their existing ones is because the people you meet (mostly) are just negative and its easy to see it when they behave like that. I find it ironic when i get ghosted/blocked by someone for no reason i see them posting stuff online about being evicted/crashout a year later kind of karma for being a dipshit.

Nigger, my friend was executed by cartel, there is a video of that but obviously i wont tell you which one.

>>105923812
Then why do they bother using social media if they dont want to be social at all and be on mute forever like they didnt learn to talk.

>>105923840
Oh my god thats disguisting, where did he post that what website? Write it down so i know to not go onto it.

>>105923857
