I give up. I'm going to fucking die alone and all this effort took everything from me. I'm a fucking introvert and a large at one that and if that much effort isn't enough to meet a singel person then I'm doomed. I'm just fucking done.

its crazy i hear people get added through games they play but no one ever added me besides some key scam bot

I did, through meetups.

ok

Go to university and join the gaming club
Anyone you meet on 4chan or discord are going to be schizo incels at best

>>713001620
No. Just go to a bar. Buy a chick sitting alone a drink. Say hi. Don't tell her your life story. Let her talk your ear off.

>>713001591
Only weirdos tend to add people after one game. In the old days of dedicated servers, you might see the same people over and over and build a rapport. You like playing with said people, and you look to time your sessions together.

You must be pretty insignificant if people aren't responding to a friend request.
You cant become friends with someone because you happened to share the same server once, you need to interact with them to leave an impression that lets them think "you're a g-genuine dick sucker. Yo, I'm adding this guy to friends"

>>713002338
>Yo, I'm adding this guy to friends
that was a third person.

>>713002404
Regardless, you can still leave an impression on people if you want a reaction rather than mild ambivalence.

Your mistakes are adding people in multiplayer games which are only played by subhumans, LoL for example, and ever thinking of making connections through 4chan and reddit since the users of those sites that are actively looking to meet people are either homosexuals looking to fuck or pedos looking for children to abuse.

Maybe go somewhere you can make friends like, learn to play magic and go to shops.bonve you have made friends you can use said friends to go out. And once you're out go up to random women at bars, but them a drink and let them talk about themselves. But you need to prioritize the basics first. Start by making one friend. It will be easy enough if you don't smell or look like a monster of any kind

>>713001291 (OP)
you're trying to find a friend to latch on to someone, and generally people can tell. messaging people a lot without knowing them because they accepted a friend request is just going to push them away too.
just talk to people normally, instead of trying to force a "friendly persona" you think will be agreeable to people. if they get upset at hearing the word retard, then they're faggots anyway and you're not going to have fun time walking on eggshells.

>>713001781
No can do. Not only I do not have the money I dropped out and never paid for first year. I'm certain I'm on some university list named akin to "do not let enlist". Covid fucked me in that regard
>>713001787
I'm trying to find friends and a relationship, not to get laid. Also where do you even find women being alone anywhere nowadays? Most women are too scared to be alone.
>>713002716
Oh I tried that too, played ESO, all I ever met is old people. And I mean, literal grandmas talking about their grand children.
>>713002790
I did try IRL, and I did attend a DnD meetup once. I was hoping I would meet like minded people but instead I encountered 7 thirsty awkward pajeets. It was blatantly obvious they just attended to meet women, after 30 minutes of them struggling against DM I left.
>>713003274
when I'm being myself I'm extremely reserved and introverted i.e. waiting for someone else to add me; which never fucking happens. If I do not do the first step nobody fucking else will but in order to do the first step I must act as someone I'm not. There is no good answer to that, only bad and worse...

Very organic and not creepy anon, I cant believe she would have a disclaimer up like that already.
Guys like you obviously arent as uncommon as you think, take heart.

>>713001291 (OP)
I've added two people from /v/ over the past year and even if it was through a shitflinging contest we actually talk regularely. I dunno what to say about that..in my personal experience i just put boundaries to what we can say and not say and it all works fine. Sometimes we talk sometimes we ignore each other, if they go away i will just tell them good luck and have fun. I don't have expectations from them, i just hope they are having a good time and they enjoy the topics we talk about.

>>713004430
I know its unusual to find a woman when you are playing but it does happen. She was using microphone and just happened to be interested in a thing I'm. And if I were a creep do you think I would follow the instructions or not; because I did. To be honest I find women on microphone on regular basis but usually they are not the type of person I even want to be around i.e. egirl attention whores.
>>713004438
Last time I did we went on a break for 3 weeks. Except once I tried talking again I noticed the guy just unadded me and I could not contact him anymore. We talked to each other for 3 months on semi regular basis.

>>713003671
Unironically if you want to meet a girl just use an app. It's gay and lame but it's the modern Era and alot of girls are on it. I met my current girlfriend on Hinge specifically. I've done normal dating and via app and have had relationships from both. All that's different is yall meet via an app. It's no biggie. Are you at least like a 5? Have you ever had a relationship? I'm pretty average and have had more than enough luck.

Secondly, are you normal for the most part. Like saying retard and such is one thing but are you spouting insane theories or just odd talking points in general? Do you have some odd past? Like why do you have no friends now?

Lastly, I get it, meeting people in current Era can be hard especially if you aren't particularly charismatic. Current culture is based heavily around the superficial. But hey, I believe in chance encounters and meeting new people. Met most of my friends through just random bullshit. But if it just turns out your some degenerate or freak we can just go our seperate ways but ill at least let you know what you did and not ghost you. Also I do have other friends, job, and a life so if I don't respond don't get clingy or freakout. If you want post your discord and I'll add ya.

What vidya do you like? I'm recently playing Dune Awakening

Finding a woman isn't actually my priority right now. If I do happen to encounter a woman I'm interested in I might give it a chance but Its not a the priority because I do not have a job. Hence why I'm trying to find friends so at least I do not rot in my room all alone after coming from work everyday.

>>713001291 (OP)
Start a discord with the intention of having a community game night. Immediately ban fuckers who act like retards or perverts. Filter filter filter. That's how you'll find decent folks. Be consistent with game nights. Eventually you'll find someone you vibe with. You're not the only one who wants to find some buddies, but you can be the one to be proactive about it and maybe even help others find friends as well

No problem with that and its a healthy mindset to have. I'm just addressing the points in your post where you mention no GF, trying to meet girls, and the whole I'm gonna die alone part. You even state in a reply you are looking for friends and a relationship. Also you ask where to find women.
>no job
>get home from work
What?

>>713008406
last time I had a job it made me so miserable I got fired due to under performance. Doing same shit for half a year with not a single soul to care siphoned the soul out of me. If I wish to find a job again I need friends and support first or else I'm just going to get fired again.

>>713008702
How about you care for yourself then...everybody is working towards that. I don't hate you but i hate this attitude and behaviour, and way of thinking. This attitude is okay only when you ask for help from others but tginking that you can care for others when you don't give the same energy towards yourself is a complete betrayal of what you are. The things you would do in a friendship/relationship just do them towards yourself and you will see an improvement.

Unrelated but I’m that one 4chan/discord schizo that gets overly attached and possessive to his favorite person and trauma dumps on him every week. How do I stop?

>>713009045
Put down the estrogen

>>713008702

I think I found your problem. Stop trying to get support from random people, go ask your family for that shit if you really need it.

>>713001291 (OP)
What games do you like to play anon? I'm always happy to be friends with just about anyone.

>>713008948
What? what are you talking about. I said I need support, not to support someone. I can take care of myself but being lonely for nearly 15 takes a massive toll on me and me getting fired from last job is a large indicator
>>713009238
they are the fucking reason why I need to do this. Anytime I ask for support from my family they find a way to make me more miserable.
>>713009280
oh no... Im fucking done adding faggots from 4chan. I learned my lesson, not doing this shit again.

>>713003671
>i.e. waiting for someone else to add me
talking to people normally doesn't mean never going out of your comfort zone, but putting on airs will only end, at the very least, with one person bitter.
my point is there's a fine line between coming off as pushy/clingy versus someone who just wants to hang out; there is no magic instructions, you just have to recognize human nature and learn to navigate it in order to pursue and maintain any kind of relationship.
anyway good luck, anon.

>>713009395
Sorry, i should have known better than to try and use this kind of talk outside of a therapeutic setting. I would recommend you actually search for a therapist, they can probably nudge you towards maybe finding ways to deal with this

>>713009214
I don’t take estrogen. I think I just have abnormally high estrogen by default somehow. And I don’t want to take testosterone either. I don’t want to take supplements in general. The less shit I have to do every day, the better.
>>713009261
I keep hearing variations of this same advice. You guys are right. I don’t need friends, I need a hobby. Maybe I’ll try to draw something tonight. Maybe even upload stuff when I get better at it. Thanks for the genuine answer, anon. Have a blessed day

>Im fucking done adding faggots from 4chan. I learned my lesson, not doing this shit again.
I've met some awesome friends on here that I still talk and game with frequently. Sorry you had a bad experience. Hope you fix that.

>>713008702
>>713008948
First off this guy is right. You can't expect to meet someone new and have them drop what they are doing to offer you some form of "support" like 99% of people are not that altruistic. It takes time for someone to care about another in any sense of the word.

Also, you don't need friends to have a job. That's just not the right outlook and you are not going to do well going with that attitude into anything. Making friends included. Find a job you can at least tolerate, you can also meet people there. I dunno how old you are but being a waiter let's you meet a ton of people or go work the front of a gym or something I dunno. But having a nihilistic view is not gonna do you favors. If need be get on some kind of medication.

to be fair making a thread like this then adding people from it is just asking to be trolled.

VIDEOGAMES ARE NOT A SOCIAL HOBBY

YOU NEED A SOCIAL HOBBY. SOMETHING THAT CAN ONLY BE DONE WITH OTHER PEOPLE. LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, TEAM SPORTS.

HUMANS HAVE BEEN PLAYING SPORTS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. MAYBE THERE'S A REASON?

OR TABLETOP WARGAMING. OR ANYTHING. ANY KIND OF ACTIVITY THAT INVOLVES SPENDING TIME WITH THE SAME PEOPLE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, WHERE YOU SHOW UP TO DO THE ACTIVITY SO THERE'S INSTANTLY SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF SOCIALISATION.

And that your ability to do well is completely dependent on physical ability, so anyone who didn't do that shit throughout their school years is at a complete disadvantage. There's basically no reason to do it if you're not already athletic, and you can't become athletic without doing it

>>713010318
You can literally just talk about the game you are playing? Also GMOD was like the most social gaming ever.

It's not that they said it in game, it's that saying it in game the first time you're playing with someone is a telltale sign it's going to be every other word out of their mouth when you're speaking regularly. Not dealing with that nonsense.

>>713011069
Is this bait?
You added a dude from 4chan and are surprised he used the gaymer word? Plus he was using it to describe robots. That word is used so often online and most of the time without any racial intention behind it. Dude was more than likely just having fun. Plus you say it's gonna be every other word but played a whole drop with him and he said it once. You are the kind of person that makes meeting people genuinely unfun. Literal fun vampire

>>713011272
Saying something/someone is "retarded" in casual conversation is normal. There shouldn't need to be any testing the waters for something as tame as that.

>>713005960
Thanks anon. OP may not appreciate it but I do. I just need to stop being so negative and playing devils advocate all the time.

>>713003671
Nvm now I'm thinking this is ragebait or you are severely creepy irl. You tried all that and nothing worked? Fuck right off you didnt. You are the problem anon and you are also the solution. Idk why everyone on this site has some weird superiority complex when it comes to friendships. Real life isn't 4chan.

>>713011272
You're retarded. I'd agree with you if it was a slur but you would only be walking on eggshells if someone cannot handle the word retard out the gate. It's a normal ass word that was fine to use 12 years ago

My best friend is someone I've mostly talked to on steam and a bit on the mic. Yes I realize how pathetic that sounds but I've genuinely never found someone who thinks that similarly to me. The problem is that they live in the states and I live in europe and I can't afford to go there or I don't know how that would even go because we are both abrasive autists and live in different worlds. Having internet 'friends' makes me realize just how alone and isolated I am.

>>713011430
You sound mad that you got called out.
Want friends? Don’t be a brainrotted /pol/roach. I don’t want to deal with your shit when I’m just trying to play a game and you go off on a incel tirade about race realism or some shit.

>>713011715
nice goalposts

>>713011638
That's pretty fucking weird bro. I dont usually call people retards immediately after meeting them. Later on maybe but there's a certain amount of social decorum that needs to happen. Usually you just greet the person with a generic greeting and move on from there. I can't imagine people on 4chan are that socially retarded.

>>713011069
I agree with you anon. I'm fine with just about anything, but the first interaction shouldn't be as if we've known each other for years. I say the most obscene shit, even around people, but not until there's trust between us. The way some fuckers say it is genuinely disturbing.

>>713011765
Sure thing bro. Keep being friendless because no one can handle your epic r/thedonald redpills.

>>713011715
Called out? On what? Dude are you legit a schizo?
I don't even really use the word hence why in my post towards you I've refrained from it. You have some actual issues and are turning this into something else entirely. If anyone is being called out it's you. You are actively doing an Intel tirade in this post

>>713011680
Groom a 12 year old into having the same interests and opinions as you and after a few years you will have created a best friend for life. Best thing I ever did.

>>713011430
First of all I didn't add him, and I wasn't surprised in the least, I know what to expect from playing TF2 with /v/ for years. I also know what to expect from adding /v/irgins who can't hold their load for even 30 minutes when playing with a complete stranger.
My point is you social retards would more easily make friends if you tried to be even remotely decent people.
He was enjoying his time, clearly, because he sent a friend request, which I ignored because he told me what kind of person he is.

For the last time would you just shut the fuck up nigger. You should try reddit I think you would fit in a lot better there.

You guys don't actually talk to normies the way you talk to people on 4chan do you guys? Please tell me you are not this socially retarded. The internet was a mistake..

>>713011941
I think you might just be plain retarded. Never once did I say calling the person retarded is the socially acceptable thing to do. But casually going oh that was retarded and referring to something I did or something that happened in game is entirely fine.
>>713011972
You guys are acting like the word Retard is some kind of taboo. If you really are saying obscene things why get so weirded out or bothered by that word? I'd get it if someone came out the gate saying some wild shit but cmon really? Disturbing? Trust between us? Are you one of the guys who advocates for the 4 hand condom too?

It's over as soon as you turn 18 and leave the school system without a well established social circle. You go to work, but you won't make any friends, just coworkers. You join a sports club, same deal. It's over, because everyone already has their social circles locked in since childhood. You'll be nothing more than a coworker, destined to be alone for life. Social life and relationships are like trains you have to catch at the quay, a race against time that takes place during adolescence. And by extension, logically of course, no social life and no women.
But normies don't understand this because they are clueless normies who think you can walk into a bar full of strangers and magically form a social life like in The Sims. Only women can start from scratch and create a social life and get a boyfriend from scratch because of their status as women.

Whether you're 30 or not it doesn't change anything, maybe for the normies, but for you and me Chud, a year is like any other, the sands of time flowing towards nothingness, nothing more.. nothing less.

i could write pages on this shit because there are so many things people do wrong but the short version is to use bigger, typically cringe communities for things you like to slowly meet people who aren't cringe and get invited to whatever communities they're in.

common failure points include trying to dominate every conversation instead of only participating when you have something worthwhile to say, not lurking to understand the community culture better (both to see if it's a good fit for you and so you can assimilate better), being overly needy and constantly bothering people who have lives outside of talking to you, and other general autistic faggotry.

>>713012665
Nope, insulting/roasting someone you just met is odd and suggests far more familiarity then what is due. Granted, if I'm having fun and a good time with someone I'd more than likely be fine with banter. Just depends on the person and situation.

Believe it or not most normal people do not like it when you say nigger or faggot around them. I don't want to be friends with someone that requires me to constantly censor myself and lie about my opinions for their own comfort, especially when I share no common interests with them.

I've always led with some variation of "I'm not good with pickup lines so let's just assume I used a good one" or something to the affect and it worked for me. I mean yeah getting matches and no responses is common with apps. Worst case run a message through chatgpt to spice it up a little then trim it to match your style a bit more. Just use several different ones Hinge and Match work fine along with Eharmony. Bumble and Tinder are wack.

You're never going to have a non shallow and superficial relationship with anyone you've known for less than a year

>>713013401
Just stop getting offended by words and.. voila, how hard is it?

>>713013271
Jesus Christ. Stop being a fucking pussy. You're going to die alone because you're so addicted to saying nigger you can't imagine being friends with someone who doesn't enable your terrible edgelord personality? Is that really what you want? I fucking hate people like you. Just get over yourself and stop being an immature bitch.

>>713013463
I mean sure, but you can still say hi.

>Many years ago
>Introverted to a fault, never use VC, don’t say much in text, rarely went out of my way to send friend requests
>Would still get invites from randos all the time in almost any game I played, friends list would just passively fill up over time, played with some of those people for years
>Now
>People rarely ever talk and if they do it’s to be angry and negative
>Never get friend requests, ones I send get ignored
>May as well be playing with bots
Am I schizo for thinking there was some major shift in online interaction over the past decade or so? I really wish I didn’t take it all for granted, thinking that friendships would always just fall into my lap.

You have to act like you don't care. Unapologetically. No eggshells no nothing. The best way I can describe it is don't just take up space, fill the space with your presence. You are who you are not who you think people will like. That's authenticity. So relax nigger, be yourself. If you don't know yourself yet, start there man.

>>713012823
Are you no aware of the current state of the world we live in? Also I think you are missing the entire point of that anons post. He's talking about people like you

>>713001291 (OP)
>>can't even say "retard" without offending someone
Then don't say it

>>713013271
There's people that honestly don't give a shit you just have to look more. But some people do it unironically so idk how you will be able to tell the difference or if you would even care but that's not my problem. And you can make friends without having to say those words irl you know? They can't be such an important part of your everyday vocabulary can they? Be friends with both kinds of people. Why limit yourself.

>>713012437
Not saying slurs isn't "walking on eggshells"

>>713013567
It’s because of the rise of shit like Discord, people don’t use the in game tools to socialize, they use the game as
a tool to socialize with people on Discord.

>>713013494
>Hinge and Match
Don't those require a lot of pictures? There's almost no good pictures of me in existence.

>>713013281
Oh I worded it weird but I'm agreeing with you. I was just defining my stance

>>713013567
I almost never see people use voice chat anymore, and I'm pretty sure it's because everyone's in their own discord.
chat gets used rarely compared to a decade or two ago, but there's a decent amount of people that will still respond to something in it.

I can no longer keep up with who said what when where and why. I hope you anons have a wonderful time arguing with each other. I'm going to go play some video games.

>>713013503
If anon wants to network and meet others like him he's probably going to have to meet normies at some point and he can't just use his favorite words right off the fucking bat. Use your head. He has to blend in first and build a community. And then he can call his friends faggots and retards all he wants. Its frustrating observing this behavior because its so easy to get what you want if you practice some goddamn self control.

>>713012856
Ah, yes, I am in fact the retard in this situation. Thanks for the callout but i cant fully admit I was wrong so also, ehem, kindly go fuck yourself

>>713013478
Huh? I never said I don't have friends. I have very good close friends that I talk to and do things with regularly. I am married and have a wonderful son. I have a good career in sales. Do you think I'm incapable of a happy and fulfilled existence because I say nigger and post on 4channel?

>>713013618
You aren't special. Everybody calls eachother faggots and retards now. 4chan isn't this niche thing anymore.

>>713013936
I stopped using voice once the smart phone era hit. It became to easy and accessible.
Games went from being filled by nerds who knew knew enough to play the game to being filled with little kids and scum of the earth.
The first week of Xbox360 live was a fucking nightmare, just open mics, screaming children and a lot of smoke alarms.

>>713013007
Even worse you joined a random lobby. You are in fact, just rarded

>>713001291 (OP)
it's the opposite for me, i have to deny friend requests all the time
have you tried increasing your CHA stat? lol gamer things

>>713005960
stfu bot

I still come to /v/ because it shows me no matter how much of a failure I feel like, there will be some /v/irgins even more pathetic than myself.

>>713014127

>>713014151
ur double rarded

Normalfaggots need to die

>>713013838
Not to be rude but do you really expect a girl to interact with a blank picture. You are gonna have to post some kind of picture lol put some effort in a take a few pics. Get friends or family to take a pic or two of you doing something. Post a pic of a pet if you have one. You have to put in some work. Make yourself looks good ad you can and put something up

>>713001787
What bars are you going to where women are sitting alone waiting for guys to buy them drinks in twenty twenty five?

>>713014237
I'm not a bot you loon

>>713014402
I do have one picture (literally) that I would call decent. I just don't have lots of pictures of me doing interesting things like people say you should have.

>>713013498
My lived experiences tell me otherwise, but ok

>god it's impossible for me to find a friend who's not a normie, not a degenerate, not a kid, not an old person, not gay, not offended by nigger, not retarded, not

>>713014146
What are you talking about? Look I say the funny haha words here and there. But you are delusional if you think people are all casually saying it in the open. Hell the UK arrests you just for thinking it.

>>713014127

>>713014551
exactly what a bot would say now shut up

>>713014628
Straighten yourself up and take more. Also you can literally just stage an interesting photo. It doesn't need to be organic

>>713014880
.......aight you got me. Should I just post the porn link now? You'll click it right?

>>713001291 (OP)
Yeah ever since I've moved onto PC gaming, making friends online has been impossible. Usually just trannies and fags like you said. I'm lucky I still have my friend from from halo xbox360 days...

>>713012853
He says on the fucking video games board

All I’ve learned from this thread is that friends are more trouble than they are worth. No wonder most adults just keep it at coworkers and “acquaintances”.

>>713015060
You wouldn't understand he's an esoteric and stoic individual

>>713014806
Yeah...that's why you do it around friends in the proper spaces. Its considered crass and crude to openly start swearing in public like a degenerate. You don't go to a grocery store and start talking like that do you? Fuck you people are so hopeless.

>>713014886
>you can literally just stage an interesting photo
even if i knew how to do that (i take terrible pictures), wouldn't they eventually realize im faking it and dont actually have an interesting life?

>>713015060
>/v/
>the video games board
anon...

>>713015207
Bro I think you lost the plot. That's what this reply chain has been about. I think its perfectly fine to say it around your friends and do just that.

>>713013521
I have friends that I can say nigger around, I'm not some loner sad-sack like the OP. I have no idea why you're sperging out because I said I choose to be friends with like-minded people. This is human nature, everyone is selective in their relationships and for good reason.

I don't even swear in front of people that I don't know personally.

>>713015248
I'm not saying to fake a picture of you paragliding. You can still put in the effort for an interesting picture. If you take terrible pictures have someone else take them for you. They don't have to be audition headshots. Just dress a bit nice, brush your hair, snap a pic.

>>713015319
I'm retarded I'm trying my best ok :( I just want to be involved :(

>>713015248
You're still doing the activities to get the pictures in the first place right? Like to "fake" a picture of you bouldering, hiking paddling, painting etc you're still engaging in the activity. That alone will start to move the needle for you.

>>713015447
>need good pictures to meet people
>need to meet someone to have them take good pictures of you
You've sent this poor man into an endless and painful loop

>>713015508
Aight that actually made me laugh. You are absolutely retarded but you've got spirit. Just read more

>>713015508
It's ok anon I'm retarded too

>>713015572
You can literally just ask strangers to take a picture of you when you're doing an activity, the commitment doesn't need to last beyond the photo.

I like solo hiking in my free time and it's braindead simple to hand your phone to a stranger and ask them to get a picture of you at the summit

>>713015572
He's trying to meet girls. I'm assuming he at least has one friend or one family member.

>>713013478
>therapy
woman post

Volunteering is also a great way to get out of your shell and do something with your time that's off of a screen. It's also much easier to have a conversation with strangers when there's an activity involved

I've got lots of great memories of spending weekend mornings volunteering with a local community garden. Vitamin D, physical exercise, and meeting people that want to put effort into their community is fantastic.

>>713015508
It's alright anon, have a bite to eat maybe

>>713016001
Based, what's even more based is you replied to something so far back just to say that. Literally best post in the thread

>>713016070
Kind cat poster. But don't you know what he really needs is a Snickers. Havent you seen.the commercials

>>713016095
thanks

>>713016032
I tried this once, I think I made everyone uncomfortable because they ignored me the whole time then went out to eat without me after.

>>713016360
That's disappointing and I can see how it would be frustrating and discouraging. I hope you can find it in you to give it another shot. Making changes like this takes time, and it's important to get comfortable doing these sorts of activities for their own sake without any sort of end goal in mind. The rest will follow. You got this anon
