why is it so hard to get friends? you know what i mean, people who like to talk with you and do stuff with you. why are those so hard to find? it seems like the only people who gravitate to me are abrasive, rude people, who themselves are friendless losers, and when i find a cool person they soon disappear from my life. i see other people in their own friend groups and it makes me jealous because i don't understand how it can be and even if i tried i would have a hard time fitting in. it's so weird.

>why is it so hard to get friends?
I never had this problem. It's not too hard to make friends just try being pleasant to be around. Don't be too pretentious, judgemental, or annoying. There's a natural friction in most conversations, if you try to dispel that and just listen to what people say and give sincere response you'll find people will be drawn to you to such a degree that it gets annoying. Mostly just don't be selfish, don't be self centered, and actually bother to engage with what someone says.

This will make you better with people than like 90%. I notice most humans do this thing where they talk at one another instead of talking to each other. They don't actually listen to what the other party is saying, they just waiting for them to finish talking so they can say what they want. They talk only about themselves, their memories/stories/experiences/thoughts/opinions/ideas/emotions. Literally just try engaging with the other person instead. Ask questions. Ask them to elaborate on their previous statement. Pretend you're a therapist. If they feel awkward to reveal so much about themselves, offer some information about yourself, but then go back to the previous mode of conversation.


If you do this, I guarantee many people will start asking for your contact information and constantly will be messaging and calling you and inviting you places.

The difference between a friend and a good friend is shared experiences, and that takes lots of time. I can't guarantee you'll make close friends with this method, but you will make tons of acquaintances and pals to hang out with.

It's not crap trust me it works. I usually end up making so many friends it actually has become annoying because I'm constantly being messaged by so many people I can't keep up with everyone.

The tl;dr is try to be a good listener instead of a talker. Learn to listen to people and even better remember the things they say and what they care about. This is such a rare trait that people will become addicted to your presence, you will be highly sought after. If you are authentic and actually care about others you'll find better results. I'm socially awkward but it doesn't matter because I actually care about others and that empathy shines through everything else. Try being nice and caring to those around you I promise it works.

Just don't be selfish.
