I am so tired of feeling so lonely, I have no fucking idea how to socialize at all. I have some friends (who most of the time are too busy to even talk to me) that have suggested me to just walk towards people and talk to them or to get into discord servers or stuff.

But that's super weird and intrusive, I don't want to approach someone randomly in the street and joining random groups always leaves me with a sensation that I don't fit in, I never know when to talk, I have nothing to say most of the time and worst of all, I feel EXTREMELY anxious when I am surrounded of too many people. I can't just join any random community and try to interact with them because I will have quite the panic attack. Also I have lots of trust issues since most people I have known in my life have actually hurt me in the past.

And I feel extremely lonely and I don't like it. But I am totally clueless on how to fix this.
I tried dating apps before but I am or too boring and people quickly stop talking to me or too ugly. I would like to have more friends or a boyfriend even.

It might sound dumb but try getting a social job that forces you to interact with people, even if it's just a job talking to people on the phone. I had a job in a Casino that brought me out of myself a lot, other hospitality jobs are great and you find plenty of lonely people who want company/conversation and will just start talking to you about their lives. I'm still an introvert but I can turn on social skills when dealing with people now. just get over that fear of embarrassing yourself in some way. people don't remember the words you say, they remember the intent/feeling behind it so if they feel you are a good/genuine person they will overlook your spergyness to an extent.
Also it's hard to form lasting meaningful relationships with people you hardly know, genuinely very hard after you leave school for anyone to have more than superficial friendships. people tend to focus more on relationships and family at that point.. friendships comes from shared experiences and opening up on a deeper level which takes time so don't just go to the cooking class or whatever once and expect to meet your soulmate/BFF instantly. Try participate in a community or a club of some kind (Irl not online) that you're into be it arts or animu or boards games, fashion, gardening, helping in the community or whatever and then you'll see the same people regularly and they'll start engaging you in conversations and try to accommodate you because you made an effort to take part in their club/hobby. If you don't have hobbies and passions to make small talk around it's difficult to then break the ice and go deeper.

>Im so lonely
>I have some friends

Yeah right fakecel retard. Try having ZERO friends for a change. Smh.

>>40335121
None of my friends have interacted with me in the entire day.
Most of the time I say I don't have any friends when asked, but sometimes they get mad when I say that... Despite not caring that much about me.

>>40335022
I don't wanna get a job.

waow im lonely and i have trust issues too!
too bad we'll never be friends

>>40335121
>talking to people who dont care about you means you have friends

>>40335189
maybe ur autistic and dint know what a friendship is

>>40335258
Wouldn't be the first time someone has told me this exact words.

>>40334246 (OP)
Let's link up

>>40335298
what if they're right though

>>40335333
I wouldn't be surprised.

Do you think ur beeeeeter off alonnnnnnaaaaooaneee

>>40335893
Not really, when I feel lonely, I get sad and depressed and also it takes away my motivation to do anything (to fix it).

I'm everyone's friend now.
Whether you like it or not.

>>40334246 (OP)
ugh i feel this so much, i was never very social but for the last couple years i've pretty much just drank till i cant feel anything and god i think it nerfed me even harder, i can barely talk to the fucking gas station guy atp. ive been getting better lately kinda, but like god i feel like ill never catch up

you play any video games? maybe we could play something together?

>>40334246 (OP)
go to burning man, it's social summer camp for introverts

>>40334246 (OP)
I would go for things that naturally require some social interaction and create a social atmosphere of comrodery. Maybe enroll in some classes for example cooking or atleast a hobby where u are outside. Maybe go to a bar that has a chill atmosphere.

>>40334246 (OP)
If you send pics of your butt you'll have lots of friends

>>40334246 (OP)
you don't approach people in the street, theyre mostly trying to get somewhere and *that* would be intrusive.
if you live in any kind of urban environment there'll be events - concerts, church if thats your speed (i live in buttfuck nowhere i dont actually know lol) - go here and maybe you'll meet someone nice. its kind of a gamble.
joining discords is a lot easier you can find links around here very easily and im sure related to that kind of person would be easier. a good jumping off point

>>40334246 (OP)
hallucinate a tulpa

>>40334246 (OP)
what's your discord? you don't have to join a random group but i'll be your friend

>>40337822
cs2 l4d2 stardew valley 2

>>40334246 (OP)
Nobody wants to socialise anymore when you get past 18, it feels like it's impossible to have an actual conversation with zoomers or millennials other than shitty meme talk, nobody knows how to connect and discuss their interests anymore and even then those interests are the same generic interests as everyone else, doom scrolling social media is the cause for this and it's only going to get worse

>>40334246 (OP)
Do drugs and self harm to cope with isolation. that's what I do.

>>40338856
i only have the first stardew but ive got cs2 and l4d2, havent played cs2 since hs cause i lost all my skins gambling and got bitter :/

>>40339190
Lol. imagine having a bunch of cases worth 4 cents and now 1.50 each or a vulcan bought for 20 and sold for 250 or a butterfly or the cat who did the meow mix commercials. Hi. some of my hobbies include drawing and writing. Lets play l4d2 ok?

>>40339190
retard!!!! coon!!!!!!! console player!!!!!!!!!! dumb emotional tranny!!!!!!!!!!!

>>40339284
ugh i wish. i cant tn but you should add me on disc im paled0g

I feel this. I've been finding myself wishing I had more online friends more often lately and thinking about stuff like edating or having a relationship over discord. I just don't really know how to socialize and to meet people especially irl. I've never really dated or had many friends and stuff. Not really sure what I'm feeling honestly

>>40334246 (OP)
Its too late to change at this point. Now we just wait until death takes us away from this sick joke called life.
t. knower

>>40339654
faggot ass bitch lmao

>>40338868
Ayo same. Wanna isolate ourselves and do drugs and cut together?

>>40336159
can we go to the chili cook-off together?

>>40341571
Uhh.
Sure

>>40342824
are you that /k/ anon that wandered into our shithole and thought it was crazy enough to stay?

>>40342843
/k/?
No.
I was a /pol/ user for a while and would come here any time there was LGBT stuff in the news to see how LGBT people reacted to it.
After a while, I figured out that /lgbt/ is crazy, but actually less psychotic than pol and that, for all your brainworms, you mean what you say, and say what you mean.

>>40342891
And no, I wasn't a /pol/ lgbt-hating Nazi.
I liked the fast flow of information in which the news was raised, discussed, and put to bed before the media had already had their first 9am bottle of wine

>>40334246 (OP)
You have to be brave and try. I was like this and let things spiral so now I'm too old to connect with others and I haven't spoken to anyone in half a decade.

>>40342897
Oh no yeah thats relatable. I check on schizo stream of conscious news related stuff from time to time there aswell

>>40342899
You are never too old to connect.
>>40342908
It's mostly about opinions and perspectives.
As much as pol is a cesspit, they have different opinions to me and I like to see them.
