it's been 21 years

I remember how crazy was faggotry for this film on russian imageboards. I watched this movie and thought that there are tons of stories like that, especially in russian media. Still, faggotry culture was somewhat entertaining back in the day.

>>714004584
I don't even know what fucking film this is?

Bridge to Terabithia

I sometimes think about my RuneScape clan that I spent 2003-2006 with. I wish I could tell them they were apart of the happiest times of my life.

Sounds like a fun magical kids fantasy movie. I could use something to cheer me up, thanks for the recommendation.

I believe he went to jail with some paedophilia charges, but I am just speculating going by how weird he was and how much he loved loli stuff, and the fact he was a britoid

>>714005413
Yeah I recommend My Girl instead.

>person you probably used to play with died or some horrible life changing event occurred and they lost the will or drive to enjoy their hobby anymore

Was just thinking about it the other day. It's amazing how easy it is to drop games when you actually have a life...

If you're reading this, Jack. I am still alive.
I'm sorry I'm too poor to even talk to you anymore. You are a good friend.

You know who this is if your name is Jack.

Used to play Halo 2 every day with this guy from Finland, one day he told me some bad shit happened IRL with his parents and he wouldn't be online for a while. He never logged in again after that, was in ~2007? and I still have him on my friends list.

That would probably be an interesting discussion to have: once Gabe and co dies and Valve gets in the hand of beancounters, what shitty practice will they employ first?
I'm immediately thinking of:
1. More sponsored listing, much more.
2. Paid cloud savings and forum access (you get a free limit, but to unlock more sections and pages, you have to pay).
And finally:
3. Data monetization, which is fucking huge treasure trove for Valve.

If its not your woman

Its not your problem

>>714008478
just think how much better you made her life anon, I'm sorry you carry on in life with the pain but think how different her life would have been if she hadn't met you.

>>714009125
>I thought she was normal but I guess not
Cute cashier I saw at my local supermarket was caught using crack on the job. You know those memes comparing hollywood actress and McDonalds workers? She was like that. Incredibly good looking, but probably fucked in the head. Saw her pregnant a few years ago, then she disappeared.

>>714009590
Just think about the absolute pure fear she felt in her final moments. Who did she cry out for? Did she whimper?

>>714008478

>>714009279
CAAAAAAAAAAARLOS!

why do people constantly ghost me, yet after a week or so they suddenly write me and tell me their life story.

>>714009670
you'll never matter like anon mattered at this rate, have a word with yourself

I made friends with a guy on /ic/ who was really improving and studying every day while I was, and still am, enjoying the easy life doing furry porn commissions. he even redlined my degenerate commissions and helped me out whenever I had rendering questions and then I found out he killed himself. And after I realized what happened I went to his tumblr to download all the art he posted but it got deleted because they banned 'pornography' and he had a bunch of tasteful nude studies on there. I've never been so mad and so sad at once in my life. rip mathias. I've had people I was much closer to die but for some reason this one really stuck to me and I'm still not over it

>>714008685
>>714008727
>>714008741
Her name was Katie. She was 20 when she passed away. She only got sick when she was 14. She wanted to be a marine biologist because she loved seals. We got a lot of mileage out of bibbytubes seal memes. We also watched a lot of movies and cartoons together too.
>>714008932
Saw her 14 times before she passed away bud. It would be inaccurate to say we didn't do anything. She was a woman too even if she was too weak to stand up most days.
>>714009590
>>714008686
I'll be honest. I'm somewhat of a loner. Even in my mid 30s I generally dislike people. She was the exception. Our sense of humour wasn't even a Venn Diagram. It was a circle. She just got me, and I got her. I took her to aquariums, parks, outdoor music things, a drive-in movie. It just fucking sucked seeing her get sicker and sicker every time I visited but she always smiled even when I could tell it was hard. She never told me what she had, but it was either some kind of cancer or some sort of immunity disease because she just looked more and more tired. I think the most gut-wrenching memory I have of her is princess carrying her over the sand on the beach because she wanted to have a picnic next to the sea. She sang to me. She fucking sang. I can hear it in my head as if it happened earlier today. The memories will likely last a lifetime. On one hand I wish it didn't make me so sad but on the other I'm glad they are because they're proof of how much on an impact she had on me. Such a sunny, lovely personality in spite of everything.

The ones I'm real-life friends with just gave up on gaming. Now they're just passive, they just scroll, maybe watch whatever's on Netflix. Lucky to even see them playing COD or whatever on Xbox Live.
Honestly the late 00s were a great time to be in college with how big Halo, Gears and COD were, and that's where a lot of my Xbox friends list came from. Basically a right-of-passage ritual, exchanging Xbox usernames after all the guys got to know each other in class. Now these guys just make it through a work day and become vegetative for the next few hours. I'd understand more if they had kids or high maintenance family to take care of, but they really just don't engage with anything at all.
Almost all of my Steam friend list I befriended from the golden age of Source multiplayer games in the mid to late 00s. A lot on my Steam friends list now just say "Last online 5 years ago, last online 10 years ago" etc. It's a fucking graveyard, a good handful have actually died so it's not just metaphorical. With modern multiplayer games emphasizing matchmaking over community I haven't added anyone to my Steam friend list i I didn't mean in real life first, in over a decade.
Honestly I just miss having people I could really talk about video games with, at more than just a superficial level. Too old and tired for discords, twitter is worthless, reddit is actively hostile to anything that isn't movie games and will actively downvote most other things which exacerbates the issue. Here on /v/ you can't talk about anything without half the thread being filled with twitter screencaps of trannies whose only relevance to the discussion at hand is that they have some kind of opinion on the game.

>>714008478
>>714010497

I didn't know my bro online had cystic fibrosis and was gaming from a hospital for years because of his critical condition

I only found out because he told us he was getting surgery for a lung transplant. I dunno, maybe it's not all that unusual

>>714008478
damn that's insanely sad, unless it's a fanfic but it seems too specific to be a fanfic.

also Splinter Cell Chaos Theory co-op was fun af I played through that with my brother back in the day

>>714012109
yeah but you didn't go on dates, make out and went to his funeral

>>714011446
Just a random match bud.
>>714011491
It's sort of weird in that it's both painful and soothing to think about our time together. That said watching Frieren felt like a massive "Fuck You" to me. It was like the story was yelling "Hey remember that person in your life that changed everything for you but then left before you could even say "thank you"? Remember that? Remember how you'll never get the chance to see them again? Remember how fate robbed you of the chance to be happy?"
>>714011689
I asked twice, she really didn't want to say so I never pushed it. Never asked her grandparents either, it would have felt sneaky and a betrayal of her wishes. Doesn't matter anyway, does it.
>>714011782
This is why girls wont touch you.

>>714012275
I wish I went to the dude's funeral, he died about a year later and I found out maybe 6 months after that.

He disappeared mostly after getting new lungs probably because the nigga could finally go outside and walk again but would occasionally check in

>>714010497
Sorry man. We should all be so lucky as to leave this kind of impression on someone when we go.

>>714011689
she didn't wanna tell and it doesn't really matter. He could tell it was bad and got increasingly worse. Especially since he was a person that brought her joy she very much liked having 1 person around she didn't have to talk about how sick she was.

They'll log back in someday. I know for sure.

A sort-of friend of mine hasn't logged in for 3 years. I know for sure he isn't dead but I just can't fathom being completely turned off by every single video game forever.
Not even on a boring sunday afternoon you are like: maybe I'll fire up TF2 again? You don't even bother to open Steam anymore? I just can't see that ever happening.

>>714013459

what i miss the most are the nightly chats
it was like having a female version of myself with the same humor

>>714013330
>missed out on 'tism and sauna sex

>>714012170
We played it for hours a night bud. I can still do the whole of Hawkins Seafort in my sleep in record time with no weapons or gadgets. We both could, though with weapons we'd both would race to take down the puppy, we had a thing where if one of us got to the guard dog before the other you had to yell "PUPPY NOOOO!". She was always so quick to double tap it and laughed hard when I did the bit.

We also had weirdly sexual bets that escalated quickly... and weirdly. When you're stuck in a bed all day what else are you gonna do?

>>714013726
lol i was being trolled when she said she had a sauna in her house
while she couldn't believe i've never been in one

>>714013884
You REALLY did miss out on that. Damn.

>>714005220
as a general rule, anything that includes "bridge" on the title is not gonna cheer you up.

>>714003867 (OP)

>>714013884
most finnish houses have a sauna. Even apartment buildings have them

>>714011597
What they did in the short time they spent together is worth so much more than that.

>at some point i just stopped logging in, probably for some arbitrary reason like boredom
>after some time i log back on, and our shared acquaintance told me about how she was crushing on me
>get too bummed out to rp or log on for a while
at the time i was depressed that i missed my chance to score a sweet age gap gf but now that im not a lobotomized kid anymore i just miss her company. it really eats away at me that i never came clean, AND that she probably believes i ditched her. even if she still cares, which i doubt. i still have our mutual friend added on steam, but im honestly too psyched out to ask if him about how things went after our awkward falling-out. it was over a decade ago. i think finding out that she has an actual life and doesnt care about shit like that anymore or completely forgot about me or something like >>714005974 would be worse than not knowing.

Me while all my friends get married and have families while I'm still gooning on 4chan

>>714008478
>>714010497
>>714012384
At least you brought joy into her life before she passed. That's alone is worth more than anything. RIP Katie.

better than thinking about it
at least you have a way of knowing unlike me

>>714010492

>>714014523
My friends aren't dumb enough to get married, but they instead keep switching to newer games when they could just replay the old ones like I do. All in all, fuck people. They're strange and alien and behave like morons.

>Best friend died 10 years ago but he's still on my steam list
That's pretty much it for me, lot of the people I met via steam still log in regularly.

I've been alone for so long I can't make friends anymore.

so many sad and cute stories, but then IRL I have to listen to an ex-foottball player brag how much married women he fucked and showing proof

if love is real, it's fleating and impermanent

Fuck, man

When I was 11 or so, I used to play a lot of very small MMOs I don't even remember the game, but in one, there was some lady in her 20s who kept playing with me a LOT, like she would try to teach me things (which she was very proud to do) and all, even had some nickname for me and sometime wanted to talk with microphones, I was a very lonely kid so I liked playing with someone. then one day just completely vanished from everywhere, then the MMO died. I wonder what happened to her, she used to play almost every days before vanishing..

In retrospective, I wonder why an older woman in her 20s wanted to be so close like that

>>714009279
Hello ICE?
Yeah I got one for you.

I'm one of those guys, pretty certain no one gives a fuck

>>714014306
might as well say it while you still can
what's the worst that could happen

>>714015437
I really have no desire to watching Ryan Gosling warble his way through my most painful memories. They'd probably hire a diverse cast anyway.
>>714015418
It wasn't. AI is bullshit.
>>714014682
We had so, so many happy days, whether it was us running a co-op level in record time, watching one of her favourite movies, listening to music together whilst talking about whatever thoughts popped into our heads. The best part of that whole friendship was that nothing was off the table and neither of us were pretending. It's so refreshing to be your most authentic self with another person. To not even have to think about lying. She knew every secret I had and I knew hers. For example she laughed so hard when I described my first time having sex. I got yelled at for not getting it in the right hole, my dick went soft because I felt bad, and then after I managed to get it up again the girl didn't want to take risks and just mounted me instead, then the girl cried right afterwards, then demanded I leave, then completely denied that reality the next time I saw her and gave it all a completely different narrative. It was fucking weird. Getting back on point, I really don't think I'll ever find that closeness with another human ever again. I knew insane stuff about her too, things no sane human would ever tell another living soul.

>>714014016
Wall status?

>>714008478
I’ve never met a woman who actually enjoyed splinter cell or Tom Clancy for that matter but sad

>>714021489
She liked stealth games. Watching her play hitman whilst narrating was hilarious. She always managed to have a "body room" where she'd stack corpses and would make a level take hours because she was obsessed with keeping things neat and tidy. Hearing her disguise personas was fun too. "Oh hey I'm the janitor it's ok I'm just taking out THE TRASH BLAM BLAM BLAM HAHAHA! Oh, well we'll need to tidy this up."

Do people still make friends with strangers in video games now? I don't really play multiplayer games anymore so I have no idea

>>714021946
I befriended a group playing wow last year and one of them is my best friend now

>>714020461
>>I knew insane stuff about her too, things no sane human would ever tell another living soul.
Would you tell a dead girls secrets?

>>714022017
Lucky you, every time I play MMOs, no one is talking in the game chat anymore, I assume they either don't talk to anyone or it's outside of the game

unironically I think the cartel got him

>>714022072
Nope. I'll take them to my grave. She did some pretty unhinged shit.

>Even 4chan is impossible to play games with, nobody wants to install any sort of multiplayer applications to play games with strangers anymore
I miss video games, there are some things you can only get when the game is multiplayer, either competitive or co-op, and it sucks missing out on some fun shit because nofriends.

you son of bitch

>>714023129
I'll tell you a story she told a mutual friend when we were fucking around on discord. When she was 13 at school a bully pulled the bin Infront of her cubicle when she was using the toilet. To get back at the bully she put a splodge of chilli sauce on a sanitary pad, waited until the rest of the girls went out onto the field for PE and then stuck it sauce down into her bag. Apparently the girl reached in for her uniform, felt the sauce, looked in the bag and started screaming, then threw the pad into the middle of the locker room door. Rumours spread fast and soon enough that girl was called "pad girl" for her entire middle school experience.

But now, I think the most likely thing is that she maybe wanted a brother she never got to have, and so was using me that way a a "surrogate". At least that what would make the most sense to me. Maybe she felt awkward about it and it's why she left.

I still have my brothers' old Xbox accounts on my friend list. They're not dead but they both got an Xbox One and didn't bother carrying over their accounts so they just made new ones instead. Their old Xbox 360 accounts are still sitting there in my friends list and I get a little sad seeing them even though I talk to my brothers every other day

>>714025552
no, its an mmo, that wasnt a woman

I sometimes wonder where all my old minecraft clanmates (alpha era) ended up. The clan forums were one of the main reasons I ended up getting into /tg/ stuff.

She used to talk from time to time with her mic, she definitely was a woman, I never heard a guy sounding that way.

You should be happy for your friend. They aren't playing games anymore so hopefully they've grown up and got their shit together.

Regardless of suicide or just dying of natural causes, someone dying just transfers their pain to those that remain.

women love cute little boys

One of my best online friends was a LOL duo with me. He got his account banned. He deserved it. He'd get super toxic occasionally. He made a new one, but he'd lost all his skins, maybe $1-2k, and he just lost the heart for it and dropped out of the game pretty quickly. Never got the chance to get his contact info, and now he's just gone.

>>714028032
macauley culkin is friends with the girl in the pic. at the end, he gets stung to death by bees (he's allergic) and, at the funeral, the girl weeps over his open casket because they didn't put his glasses on him

Unrelated but in this one browser MMO I played, Shadowlands Online or something like that, I was in a guild that also had this woman in her twenties or thirties or something who always let out her motherly side in the guild chat. Was really weird. What is it about MMOs and moms?

>>714029332
it's pretty good for a kid's movie, it is all about growing up and whatnot and the funeral scene provides some punch for the ending. ultimately it's geared more towards girls though

>>714029726
yata

>>714028308
Yeah the ending is "she le dies, so le deep and inspiring"

>>714028479
She was so nice to me, I forgot most of it as it's being a very long time, but I still remember her kindness. After her, I met a lot of people on the internet, good and bad. but no one like her. It hurt my soul a little. Such kindness. I don't even remember her name anymore, but I still hope she's having a good life. She probably was one of the nicest person of my life.
>>714029304
No no no she wasn't this kind of women, she never asked me anything like that, I don't think she had any thoughts like this, and if she did, she kept it to herself. But I don't think she was that kind of person.

>>714029726
It's a tough situation desu.
I think it all comes down to how you actually handled the situation. The specifics.

Wanting to distance yourself for your own peace of mind, and because it hurt you to be with her? I'd argue that's perfectly understandable. Even more so if you explained yourself properly, and respectfully told her (and your friends) your reasons to do so.

If, on the other hand, you threw tantrum and just ghosted her, then yeah. You'd be the asshole in that scenario.

>>714005974
Death is much less interesting than you think it is.

>>714029234
Shalom, kike

yeah

>>714029726
Like the other guy said, I think it depends on how you actually handled it in reality. Based on just what you said there though, I think what you did was fine. The people in your friend group don't understand, and will never understand until they experience something similar themselves.

>>714029726
no, friendship would never stay the same after that t. tried to stay friends

>>714028308

Moral of the story is don't be a weirdo and hide out in a fantasy land or you will die horribly. A good movie that /v/ can learn something from.

>>714005974
In retrospect, I never really had any good friends to play vidya with outside of my two IRL friends (who I am still friends with). I had people in guilds, I had ERPers I associated with, but none of them ever really seemed to like me that much.

it might be mercenary but girls will literally never understand this feel.

>>714031021
Cherish them forever anon. I had the exact same thing. By two best friends. But one moved on into normiedom and completely changed his interests and friendgroup.

The other was somewhat similar to what >>714005974 described. He is a turbo-autist (and I love that about him) but now that we're in our 30s, he's fed up with being the way he is I think, and spiraled into a very weird place where he now hates doing anything, and can't enjoy any activity. So trying to get him to do whatever was near impossible. I think he's depressed... but he never opened up to me...

I have been offline on steam for the past 10 years. I also don't reply or use chat in games.

>>714014306
If you don't settle it one way or another it'll be on your mind to the grave. She either still cares and it'll finally give her some closure, or she'll shrug, possibly catch up a little, then both of you move on with your life.
You won't always have a option to come clean or apologize, do it while you can.

The only greentext story I've ever really liked, I dont have it anymore but it was touching.

>>714005974
No, he left for university, became a she/her and now does nothing but talk about Palestine and their open relationship with a black girl(shcizophrenic) and is now an expert on black history(what his girlfriend told him happened), claims to be oppressed themselves and is now in an open relationship where hes into dudes and told me outright that he sucks dick and takes it in the ass. He came out to me, which was awkward because I think he was trying to say he wanted a relationship, but I was repulsed, disgusted, this was someone I considered a brother, we came up in the fucking trenches and did everything together, and now hes this thing. Im disgusted enough to not even want to be around him anymore. I find his lifestyle and beliefs to be utterly repugnan. He use to be normal, we use to just play games and talk about that shit and have fun, and now hes a walking stereotype of a woke person, its like he was replaced with a copy of exactly what you expect of the stereotype, who of course, also hates their own family and has daddy issues and cries about it all the time, sterotypically. Also likes to bring up how everyone is a nazi and everything parallels WW2. Im fucking tired of it man.

Sometimes I wish hed died so I didnt have to see what he became.

>>714032406

>The ones I'm real-life friends with just gave up on gaming
>Honestly I just miss having people I could really talk about video games with, at more than just a superficial level
I think I'm halfway there myself. Ever since one my friends got married and had a kid, the rest are desperately trying to turn into normalfags. I'm glad more of them are starting to lift, but it's tiring when every other conversation is bitching about diet and dating apps.

>>714024168
I have no one to blame but myself. I'm as introverted online as in real life. I rarely ever engage with any groups or people on the internet except anonymously. Even when I had opportunities like chatting with some really cool girl on omegle I never let it get past that stage because I was reluctant to link an account and the chat would awkwardly end.

>>714023736
at least you made it that far, i dropped to 1 about 15 years ago and kept in contact with him for the longest time, i guess the final straw for him was me getting married.

i guess i did make a new friend 10 years back but he ghosted as well after i got married, from what i understand he was trying to get with my girlfriend if things didn't work out with me and her but he gave up when we got married.

been about 5 years now with hardly hearing from my actual long term friend, i occasionally get a sentence or two here and there but not the daily shit we did for 20 years before this, longest conversation i got out of him was about a house explosion that happened in our hometown.

it isn't even an issue with time, i work early mornings and are off work by 10am most days, outside of having a slightly early bed time i would be available just about every day.

at least my son is into video games too so i got something in common and we play together occasionally.

these days? i hardly have much energy for video games so i play shit super casually or short form games like Balatro, Digital Pinball, or retro arcade games.

As for you, if you still have your mutual on steam, it's worth a shot. You could be a retard who wants to contact someone after almost two decades but have no way of doing it without coming off as a creep.

Maybe you became scared of the world, maybe you were hurt by people before and don't want this to happen again, maybe you became a bad person and you don't want to fuck up more. but whatever you did in your past anon, know that you can still get better, no matter what. You still have your life, you can still change and evolve.

The way you put it is perfectly reasonable. I'm not going to fake being happy that the girl I have feelings for is with another dude while I'm just her friend and she only sees me that way. If she's that inconsiderate of your feelings, she should honestly go fuck herself.

>>714035264
nigga got inducted into a cult of no brain, it's terminal bro. just consider him dead

I have at least a 5 or 6 accounts which I haven't used in many many years because I just forgot the passwords because I rarely ever used them and I never re-added the friends I had on old accounts when I made a new one. Gaming experiences with strangers are always best when they're fleeting.

That last part really hurt. Just weeks before then she used to run up to me with a big smile and yap about stuff. She was the one who approached me more often than not and we would spend hours hanging out just the two of us. I just wanted to do the same things we did anyways except maybe also hold hands.

Reminder that the voices on Discord are not your friends. They can either uninstall and drop off the face of the earth or get frustrated with you and block you. Treat everyone you encounter on the Internet as you would someone you speak with on a train or seated at dinner with on a cruise; happy to pass your time with them but it only extends to the present moment. The only relationships that matter are real life friends and family

>>714020461

Oh so you grew up to be a retard concerned with culture war cuckery. And here it sounded like you were a half way decent human being. It's no wonder ever cunt in this board is so fucking lonely, none of you even consider for a single second just being a good person.

>>714032257

I also made it up :(

>>714036337
I agree, and I say that as someone who has online friends exclusively. Online friends might be fun to talk to and play games with but they won't be there for you if you have an actual problem in real life because they can't, and probably don't want to either.

>>714021946
I've met some cool people on the looking for group feature on Xbox. After quitting a high responsibility job, i took a few months off and got really into monster hunter sunbreak and made friends with this chill guy from new york who was on disability after being shot so he just gamed all day. He had a few other regulars he'd get into groups but hed always hit me up as soon as i logged on. Eventually i got back to work and just stopped playong games for a while so we fell out of contact. I hope he enjoyed Wilds.

>>714035264
He sounds based and right. You unironically are a pussy.

>>714005974
I still keep in contract with the same group of friends I met on Guild Wars in 2006. We don't really play games anymore together though because the horrible life changing thing that happened was becoming adults in our 30's and being too busy/having schedules that don't line up.

No. That women and your friends are the assholes. You did nothing wrong, and they are blaming you for their bad behavior.

I litteraly watched my frend group disentigrade before my own eyes in less than a fucking year....
I still canont fucking believe it at 1st it was one guy that went to college then the other too but at least he would chat with us then with other 2 i would chat pretty much everyday until one day guy had some sort of episode where he cut all contact (blocked and removed me from frends) and after that other 2 were still chatting a bit and now im only one still chatting but NOBODY responds it appears that i was the only one who gave a fuck about our frendship...... and i feel like a biggest retard i considered and still do those guys as my brothers.

Now you know why you don't stay friends with women: they aren't good friends. Hell, they aren't good lovers for the most part but the pussy is nice, but when they say they want to be friends, they essentially want to be emotional and financial vampires that suck your time, money and energy for no benefit to you.

Being a neutral party in a friend group drama and shattering is the most frustrating feeling ever. I'm still friends with everyone involved but now I have to walk on eggshells in certain scenarios and can't hang out in a full group like we used to from time to time.

The biggest thing is that i dont even know why the guy blocked and removed me like all was fine then BOOM i honestly think he was mindraped by some discord faggots.

You're best bet is finding hobby groups. I like to build gunpla and there's a hobby shop that hosts open build days where anyone can come in and just work on shit and chat. Look for opportunities like that.

>>714040861
I've just disappeared from a group before. Sometimes it's nothing personal at all and the decision was made entirely on a whim, as it was in my case. I just went on a vacation, came back, and decided to just stay logged out.

>>714034962
This is my schedule except I get up earlier, and the bad thoughts happen between 5-9 Pm but only sometimes. I remember a House M.D. episode where the husband's wife had ragged red fibre disease or something, and the gist was she'd get sick at night or something. I assume I have something similar because my diet isn't great.

>>714029726
Imagine you're with your buddies but you can't look at them without feeling like you want to stick your dick in them... do you think a friendship like that would work? No, obviously not. That's why friendship with women is a waste of time. Friendship is only with men, because you won't feel the urge to have sex with them (unless you're an ultra faggot).

>>714040896
There are, most people just aren't anything approaching good friends. Just get what you can from them and move on unless they are actually a good friend, then stand by them since they come so rarely.

>>714039571
Some bridges are just never meant to be crossed.

>>714029726
Of course you are the asshole, fmlfag. That being said, you are fully justified in your actions.

>>714040896
There are, but they're extremely rare. Not because I think everyone is awful (though some people are). It's hard because it needs a very specific set of circumstances:
>Meet someone in your youth (childhood, teenager, uni at the latest)
>Hang out with them for years
>Neither of you become worse people
Obviously what kills friendships is simply not seeing each other. So the only way to have a genuine true friend is if both of you live close enough to visit on a semi consistent basis. But many people move away to different cities, states/provinces, or even countries. To have a true friend you have to luck out on a cosmic scale where both of you happen to be in the same area with the same broad interests. And that shit is unironically harder than winning a lottery.

>best friend has been dead for 10 years now

>>714040896
The real friends are the ones you don't need to bother staying in constant contact with. Have a buddy I've known since elementary and moved several states away after college. Several years later I finally have the time to go see him and despite being kinda nervous at first we picked up right where we left off. Even his gf(soon to be wife) didn't change anything in our dynamic.

This is one of the worst pains. You can be friends with someone for decades and spend many all-nighters with them only for them to randomly ghost you.
>>714038789
Too hard not to when it happens with everyone.
>inb4 it was your fault
Never had issues making friends or hanging out. No one says negative things about me and I am observant enough to see my own actions. The only thing I can think is that when it became somewhat inconvenient to be friends, we either moved across the city or stopped working together/having class together, they didn't find it worth the effort. The sad part is if I were to hound them, I'm sure I could hang with some of them.
>>714039152
You just have to remember to enjoy the friends while they are there. Media has led us to believe that people won't bail when convenient.
>>714039947
>I think you become an adult when you're just happy to know the people you grew up with are still alive, whether you still know them or not.
Nope. If they were dead then it would explain the abandonment.

>>714018741
Back then there was a lot more interage interaction and the inherent affection/love/sex involved. I had that with an older 20 something lady and more I am sure. I miss the people I knew along the way, but I also leaven it with if they had never gone then I'd have never met people I met later. It's bittersweet.

>>714027407
I think only if you are well and truly alone and can just go an hero in the wilderness you'll hurt someone for going. I had the same feelings but I resolved to keep going for others and only when I have nobody who'd care if I go nobody whose lives I make a bit better by being around can I check out.

>>714039947
I'd be curious at what stage it was no longer normal to grow old with your friends. Your pic has it in the 50s, but was it then, was it the start of industrialization and being able to travel more for work, or was it always?

>>714032406
You're a loser man. Throwing away a friend ship over something o arbitrary as gender.

Good that I have bpd and I ruined every friendship i ever had

>>714041359
I thought that too, but life has shown me that the other anon is right.
>>714041840
If distance can kill it, it wasn't a true friendship. Even more so now with cellphones and the internet.
>>714041913
You just proved that it wasn't a true friend. Assuming you never stayed in contact, you might have cared enough about him, but he sure as hell didn't care for you.

>>714005974
they got married and had kids. I don't blame anyone for not having the time for videogames anymore. people move on. are you still passionate about every little thing you were when you were a child, pumpkin?

>>714042618
Still thinking about those Beast Wars toys I never got as a kid because while I didn't realize it at the time, we weren't exactly well off.

>>714042681
I still think about the PC I got conned into selling by a friend who said the one they wanted me to buy was better. Miss that thing every day, found it's exact model online though (it's a prebuilt) for about 130 and I might pull the trigger.

>>714042073
While it has happened since the beginning, I think it really exploded once cars became widely adopted. Now anyone with a car can go anywhere they want in a country, as opposed to a horse where your range was heavily limited. So back in the horse times, people moved, but not often super far. But with cars (and planes), and especially with the Internet and modern cellphone networks, it's never been easier to completely relocate to the other side of the country. Makes it all the more depressing when people just drop contact. It's never been easier to stay in contact with someone. I give Facebook a ton of shit, but maybe the one good thing it did was allow people to reconnect with their old pals they hadn't seen in ages. I mean, back when people used it anyways.

>>714042073
>I'd be curious at what stage it was no longer normal to grow old with your friends.
Sadly, the one thing that should have connected us divided us. So, probably the "e-stage".
>>714042824
Cars require gas, which requires money. Staying at a place requires money. It didn't do much to change anything.
>I give Facebook a ton of shit, but maybe the one good thing it did was allow people to reconnect with their old pals they hadn't seen in ages.
Except it did the opposite. Now people only hang out with exactly who they want when they want. This contributed to inceldom and the loneliness epidemic. While Facebook itself didn't do it, it did help build up social media which did it.

>>714043006
Unless you're a fag, you are just shitposting.

>>714043013
>Cars require gas, which requires money. Staying at a place requires money. It didn't do much to change anything.
My point was that cars can go much farther, much faster, for much less than a horse can. Cars increase the range in which people can feasibly move. When we were limited to horse-drawn carriages, boats, and trains, moving was extremely hard to do. I also said that people still moved, they just didn't often go as far.

Truly an “it is what it is” moment. My actual first kiss ended up being this latina girl who grabbed my face and sloppily kissed me in public, about one week before she cheated on me by screwing a 15 year old (we were both 19 at the time). I did not invest in the luck stat.

i think certain people are capable of being friends with someone who doesn't feel the same but it takes a certain personality, certain experience, certain maturity. it's possible but it's hard.

The majority of girls over 25 or so have had a boyfriend, yeah. Just how it is. Society silently changed the menaing of “monogamy” from “one partner” to “one partner at a time”, and most people do not understand what a fundamentally massive difference in definition that is.

>>714045807
No because I don't go on social media or even remember most of their names. Thing is you might think of them and they may not think of you at all. In my case for some reason I've seen people from my childhood who remember me but fuck me I couldn't remember them unless I truly dwelled on it.

For me it's my older brother rather than friends. I have a good job now but I'm approaching the age he got married so I've become a bit more regretful over being a kissless virgin. Not so much for sex itself but he and his wife get along so well(I love her like a sister now too) I would like to have a connection like that of my own.

>>714045807
I only remember the more important people from my childhood (like old close friends) and even then I don't have a social media account to go looking them up.

Also, why the fuck do you think in our fake, gay and retarded society that people wouldn't just lie and put on the pretense of being happy? Literally, that's why they tell you to say cheese whenever you take a picture: it's to put on a fake smile for appearances. They have a bunch of problems they don't project, but they still do exist.

A thousand years from now barring nuclear holocaust or something insane the Chinese will still be in China, the negroes will still be in Africa, and white people will no longer have a single nation, our nations will have become brazil, favelas of all the same looking brown mutted people with middling I.Qs who have nothing in common with eachother in terms of religion or history, the perfect atomized individual slave race consoomers.

>>714049360
Priorities and that thing they used to like getting worse in their eyes and not being worth putting time into. For instance for a solid 10 years straight I was watching 10-20 anime seasonally every season along with backlog. But now I barely get 1-2 finished in a season because I hate modern anime since I've grown up (no real interest in generic highschool romcoms/seen so much anime in general that nothing really feels well made) and would rather spend it doing something else especially since the amount of hobbies I have is continuing to grow. I went from watching anime/drawing/writing/gaming and added guitar/language learning/rollerblading/paddleboarding etc to that list. It's hard to do all of those in a single day and if you actually want to get better at these things you have to put more time into them than others.

Even bigger faggot take. Adaptations are a case by case basis. Look up fucking Stardust and its adaptation if you dont believe me. If you that were a true adaptation it just be the author jerking himself off for a fucking hour in the middle of the film.

The only things I have trouble reading are posts like yours because I feel like my brain cells are dying in seconds from reading something so aggressively gay. No one cares about your book for 10 year olds. Get over it. The movie is a good heartfelt coming of age story. You don't need to read the source material to understand it. I judge everything based on its own merit instead of autsticly comparing it to its source material and writing angry comments about how it's different because the creator dared to have his own vision.

>>714050889
the rest of the movie is perfectly fine. good, even. its legitimately just Leslie's portrayal that bothers me. it's fucking weird that the movie was so aggressively faithful in everything EXCEPT one of its leads.

nta but it does kinda sound like it completely ruins the point of the story
goes from "the outside world isn't so bad and even the most normal person can change your life and make you happy" to "U NEED A CRAZY BITCH TO RUIN UR LIFE FRFR"
that's a pretty fucking drastic departure

I'm supposed to say some gay meme /v/ shit but honestly, sorry about your loss anon. I wouldn't get over that easily, or at all.

There's a similar greentext about his coworker he liked. She was tomboyish and they were super close always hanging out. One day he decides to ask her out and she says no and he just gives up on their frendship and she's devastated. I'm doing it injustice that's what I thought this was gonna be.

Couldn't sleep last night. Kept hearing the song she sang in my head. it's 05:50 where I am, didn't manage to get more than about 40 minutes according to my watch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AqWfANexg4

It wasn't even her favourite song, it was just what she felt like singing whilst I plodded across the sand. I had a backpack full of drinks and snacks and a big heavy blanket her grandma gave us. She was so excited because it was something she never got to do. The weather was perfect for it. It was about a 90 minute drive for us and she was so concerned because I'd gotten up at 3am to drive from my house to Holyhead where you catch the ferry from England to Dublin, then another hour and a half to her house. I'd usually catch the later ferry but I really wanted to spend the entire day with her. I must have looked a little tired and I was drinking off-brand monsters. I was really just excited to spend the day at the beach. We collected seashells and sea glass, a little seaweed and yellow reeds, a little bag of sand... She thought I'd left them at the beach, but I was putting everything we found into my coat pockets and when I got home I bought a glass jar and arranged a little diorama for her to give her as a gift the next time I saw her. She loved it. Not sure what happened to it after she passed. I'd have liked to have kept it to remind me of her, but I'm sure it's more meaningful to her family and I already have the memories.

That day at the beach was perfect. She insisted that I take a little nap before we got up to leave and I played along but I've never been able to sleep when there's natural light around, I closed my eyes and let her put my head in her lap and let her stroke my hair. She leaned down to kiss me and of course I kissed back. I opened my eyes to her smiling down at me and she said "I wish you'd let me baby you anon." and tickled my cheek.

She fell asleep in the car as I drove home. I carried her back into the house.

No one wants to be friends with me irl, and I get it. I’m a weird sperg who stutters and is facially deformed. Online friends are all I have.
When I was 22, my own mother told me that I better learn to move and repair things on my own or make enough money to hire outside help, because I’ll never have friends or a wife.

>>714003867 (OP)
A fun girl like this liked me in 2006, my freshman year of highschool. She was a skinny, big titty goth, which was actually not cool back then, so I was embarrassed to be with her. She got naked in front of me in her house and told me to turn around, looking back it's clear she wanted me to fuck her. A few weeks later she fucked my cousin because I never made a move and then years later I saw her on the local city bus and she asked me for twenty dollars. She was a passed around orphan girl so it was sad to see her down on her luck. Anyways I didn't lose my virginity till I was 22, and that was my only opportunity in until then.

Yeah, knowing someone who died makes you feel sad, but it's a different kind of weirdness when you find a parasocial relationship that died.
>Early 2007 youtube
>Used to watch a guy who did Japanese Horror film reviews.

>Watched this guy for years.

>Even got a response back saying he'd try rewatching it with my points in mind.

I understand it now now that we understand parasocial, but it was definitely a very weird feel.

My friend group from high-school implode all because of the fucking Aquabats. Ska music is the worst dogshit I've ever had the misfortune to listen to.

I spent so much time alone that I don't know how it feels to miss someone anymore. I turned out to be a bit autistic and my default mode of operation is just doing my own stuff without requiring other people. Currently learning blender and enjoying being able to create things I wanted to but wasn't able due to being incompatible with drawing. Had much more experience with sculpting as a kid and when I finally started doing 3D I felt like I found a missing part of myself.

>>714049021
>>714049637
catching up with someone you had shared interests with and finding out they fell out of favor with it is such a shameful feeling. youll feel content (to a degree) with who you are and what you like, and then something like that comes and shakes up your whole worldview up. and then you start feeling guilty for simply having something you like. worst part is they never realize the damage.

>>714008028
Not only am I friends with violent criminals, I am one.

>>714054016
What I’ll add is. Just be as ready for that person as you can be.
Look after yourself, maybe even tidy up the diet and work out a bit.
If I didn’t work on my diet and build just a little muscle I’m not sure I’d have felt the confidence to ask that wow girl out.

I don’t know what’s more depressing.
Learning about the movie in the OP/reading that one anon’s story in this thread about the ill girl he met and presumably loved
Or the fact I never experience this type of genuine love/understanding on a deep, personal level with a girl and probably never will, given my age.
Regardless, opening this thread was a mistake.

you’re not an asshole and you’re not wrong for feeling that way. neither was she in feeling that way either. if anyone’s to blame, it’s her friends for shaming someone and insisting he feels bad about himself. horrid and ironic behavior. if two people can’t meet halfway, that’s just nature. harassing people over such disagreements is fucking pathetic and fickle behavior

in Australia for instance the ""worst strain"" of covid only managed to kill about 898 people, none of which were young and healthy.
it killed an insignificant number of fat and old retards (it didn't evcen rank in the top 30 causes of death that year) meanwhile during that same time frame the flu killed 2,487

how can retards like you still buy into the covid scam? covid was literally nothing.

I do this, not on purpose though. I'll miss a message, or be busy and think to myself that I'll respond when I have more time but forget, and then I'll think too much time has passed or I'll be interrupting or something like that and I won't end up responding, and then the friendship will die off.

Maybe if you're habitually smoking meth, but you're not going to get far if you're talking to a woman and you blurt out some nonsense like
>I like you despite being hispanic :)

Having known them for such a long time (well over 10+ years for all of them) I decided I wanted to repair the deteriorating relationship and get it back on track into a stable place, after all we still spoke regularly (a few times a week) but well...
after a while I kind of just realized most of them had turned into people I really just disliked, they were so much more abrasive and not really open to wanting to do anything, I stopped liking most of them as people, and didn't have a good time with them, so I pretty much just stopped talking to them.

Some of them were okay, but with a group its all or nothing type deal, I still spoke to one of them occasionally, but he moved in with another I very much didn't want to spend any time with so we pretty much stopped speaking at all.
Remember looking back a bit after I made my decision and was organizing some stuff with some new people I knew and I had this moment of comparison where I realized I was looking forward to the plans I had organized and that for a long time I was dreading having to go do things with my "friends", it was a moment the really solidified I had absolutely made the right choice, who in their right mind would continue to spend time with people when they hated the thought of having to go do things with them but felt obligated to do so.
Absolutely crazy.

So much happier as a person.

Lucky to have that. My crew went from bimonthly hangs to once a year to hanging out with one at a time and only one of them willing to hang out like we used to at least monthly. That guy turned out to be a real bro

Threads got me realizing thay losing a friend is rough but the worst part is losing the person you once could talk about anything with and now you're left with no real person to share your real self with. That's why I love 4chan even if people call me a faggot someone is always listening

>>714057108
Last I checked his story didn't imply he said that to her face, he simply clarified for descriptive context which made for a better story

>Don't even have sad parting memories to look back on
I've been unable to create or sustain meaningful relationships with my entire life. I thought I didn't care, but realizing that I could die and absolutely nobody would notice is telling me that I do. I just can't do much about it

>>714057979
You're welcome, faggot.

>>714029726
nah your not, 100%, it's not easy for her either, but I have been on the other side and even if you are unhappy about it any reasonable person will know
the latest occurrence of it was just a few months ago for me
>meet this girl
>chat about random shit
>we are assigned to work on some stuff together
>shes ogey, kind of says some really dumb and weird stuff to me but idc
>not really friends, just colleagues but we still talk outside of work a bunch
>keeps holding me up after work to talk for like an hr+ multiple days a week
>starts asking if I am upset with her if I seem not completely happy all the time with whats happening
this is when I realized she maybe had some feelings or something towards me
>end up talking about relationships with her
>no, i'm not seeing anyone
>no I don't have a lot of experiences with relationships
>yes I am open to the right person
this is when I quite certain she did and realized I had probably led her on a little, as I am not interested in her, shes a decent enough person to talk to about shit, but I am not romantically interested in her or particularly interested in being friends long term (we have basically nothing in common)
>she makes some more overt moves and I try to be clear about it
>hang out a few times but I try to be as clear as possible
>eventually our assigned project ends
>she asks to meet up
>explicitly addresses her feelings and directly says she has realized I am not interested in her
>talk for a few hours
>I still mention we could go do X thing she mentioned
>she never hits me up about it
>work in different departments so never see her again and dunno if she even still works at the same place as me
obviously she didn't want to have a friendship and wanted a relationship


I don't hold it against her, it is what it is, she took her shot and I wasn't interested, I think she knew for a while
i've had this happen 4 times now, dunno how

>>714056814
At least you learned you were wrong. I lost friends like you and I was def the Trump type that knew when to shut up but that wasn't enough, down to my core my bud of a decade could no longer respect me because I went from Bernie to trump

>Last I checked his story didn't imply he said that to her face
Yea, I addressed this when I wrote
>I'm pretty sure she 100% wouldn't have any interest in you if she knew you said this about her
What the fuck are you even arguing for? Would you earnestly want to get involved with someone who normally wouldn't like you because of your race?

>>714053556
>get some raging fag's sloppy seconds
Is this supposed to be a happy ending?

>>714055165
>we just click. we’re on the same brain waves on everything
this is the best feeling ever until you loser it.
even worse is that once they're gone you'll always be left doubting whether you even had it in the first place

>>714058245
>Would you earnestly want to get involved with someone who normally wouldn't like you because of your race
he was describing her physical characteristics?
bro you are projecting an insane amount of shit he didn't say or even slightly imply.

there is nothing wrong with giving context for how someone looks like to get a better picture of whats happening, read a book, its a common and normal way to describe people.

if you get a hint of racism from that it is purely on you and how you are interpreting it, because there is nothing there to indicate it.

>>714058245
I'm "arguing" because you're s cringe redditor who chose to focus on a tiny innocuous detail and act like it held any weight. I'll say all sorts of things about minorities but I treat those I know that deserve respect with respect and don't cross lines that they can't handle. Still we lived in a less race obsessed world and now it's as if all concept of race has to be ignored or else you're doing a wrong think

I have never played an online multiplayer game in my life.

First day?

>>714058516
I had this fine jailbait coworker with a huge ass to stomach ratio and crushed on her hard but she was in a "relationship " with a guy she met whilst gaming and it made me realize that all these other gamers had made friends and even gfs through their hobby meanwhile I was spending countless hours on single player games because I didn't like most online gaming. Even among the gaming nerd world I was the autist outcast. Didn't help that I was a bit older feels like all the gaming socialization came a few years after me, at least I got to experience peak WoW and socialize then

>>714058687
I don't want to socialize, though.

for me its becoming so jaded from losing friends that you just give up from the exhaustion of unraveling yourself to people that can just one day decide to stop caring. wanting nothing more than to be understood by someone else but not willing to suffer that pain again, so you just end up pushing people away in fear of what would bring you true solace. its a torturous existence i wouldnt wish on my worst enemy
i genuinely might have some sort of mental illness or something wrong with me, i keep rebuffing their attempts to get me to open up because what i really want is someone to keep prying until i crack, someone who wont concede from the slightest resistance, basically proving themselves. i dont know if im a narcissist or what.

>>714058809
Yeah you are, stop doing it or kill yourself alone.

Screenshotting this. I dunno, I just really like your post for some reason

>>714058809
I used to want a lot out of friendships and people I knew as well anon, I wanted them all to be deep, meaningful, and for people to really know me, I didn't see value when this wasn't the case and was always unhappy and unfulfilled by shallower encounters.
But I don't think that's reality or was accurate.

Realized that a lot of people who had a big impact on me as a person were not necessarily the people closest to me, many times someone I only ever had a few conversations with shaped my thoughts significantly, a catalyst even if they were not there for the whole process. I began to appreciate the shallower encounters I have with people.
You are still you even if the people you are talking with and spending time with don't know everything about you, you can still have an impact on them and they impact you, not every detail needs to be known to each other, and there are surely people you have impacted without knowing you did.

It's kind of crazy to hear from people how much you changed their thoughts on something years later after it happened, both from people close to you and those I only knew more casually and happened to run into. The time spent with others is complete on its own and in itself, try to make the most of the time you spend with others, instead of wishing it was of better quality, deeper, or however you might describe it.

To me it just seems like you really are hung up on your idea of the standards people need to meet to worth investing the time, but maybe you could see it as an experience on its own, not everything needs to be forever, not everything needs to last.
