>My best friend has liked the same girl for years but never asked her out. She started flirting with me instead, so I hooked up with her.

He's acting like I betrayed him, but I don't think people can "claim" someone they never dated. Am I actually in the wrong?

How do you socialize with people?
The only times I've made friends or talked to people was because of proximity, like school, work, or parties I've been invited to due to my connections I've made in the former two, but now that I've been living by myself, all of that has disappeared completely.
No more friends either because of a falling out, but that's a different story.
I'm going to go to Uni this year at 25 and I was wondering how people go about talking to people without it feeling unnatural?
The way I see it, at any given point I have no real reason to talk to people other than for the recursive purpose of socializing, so I don't have any sense of direction or through line that would give me an indication of what to say, when, and how long to go for, though I know that is determined on a case by case basis and failure is unavoidable.
If anyone was in a similar situation I'd appreciate some pointers.

>If all attempts at socializing are inherently self serving
That's not entirely true. Think about it like this, OP: socializing is a human need. So when you socialize with someone, you're helping them fulfill one of their needs. Like handing them a bottle of water on a hot day. Additionally, people enjoy talking about themselves and their interests, so when you ask people questions about themselves or their interests, it's like handing them a cake.

I think you are over thinking this, OP. Think to the last you talked to someone, Do you think they were worried about any of the stuff you were talking about? I don't think they were, and even if they were thinking about those things they still ignored all of it and talked to you anyway. We can give you advice all day but you still have to go out and socialize with people.
>>
>>34735748
>human need, so socializing for the sake of socializing is not only normal, it's what we're designed to do.
I understand that, but it's difficult to gauge the what, when, how etc. of any given (potential) interaction if there is no underlying structure other than the unique interpersonal chemistry that is defined by you and the other party, which is inherently abstract and intangible.
>When you say that do you mean:
I mean all of the above. I don't know how other people do it, but to me it feels like I've been dropped off in some alien jungle with no bearings, no navigation, and no understanding of any of my surroundings.
Back when I was around people more, I didn't know what I was doing or saying and just played it by ear, which amounted to the absolute longest conversations with people that I wasn't forced to sit next to for years, lasting about 15mins. maximum.
>Then the best way to learn is to go out and socialize
I guess that's what it was always going to come down to. I would've just liked some general principles to follow so that I don't immediately burn every bridge I come across.
>>34735779
>So when you socialize with someone, you're helping them fulfill one of their needs
>it's like handing them a cake.
Idk man, some random drugged out homeless guy could use the exact same rationale in his head to talk to people, or barrage them with whatever crazy homeless people like to rant about, but I doubt most people would enjoy his company.
>Do you think they were worried about any of the stuff you were talking about?
How would I know? People in my country tend to be very outwardly polite for the most part, women especially, so you could be verbally torturing them for hours and they would just nod along, especially if they can't leave the area for whatever reason.

Sorry I wasn't able to help you out much, OP. You seem like a really nice person and you seem to genuinely care about how you impact others. That's a very good quality to have. It will definitely help with your socialization problem.

>it feels like I've been dropped off in some alien jungle with no bearings, no navigation, and no understanding of any of my surroundings.
Are you autistic by any chance? Loads of autistic people feel this way around the world. It might be a long shot but I'd recommend doing some research into this.

> I would've just liked some general principles
1. Always be friendly (which you seem to be), 2. Be a good listener, 3. Always be looking out new opportunities to socialize.

I hope you succeed OP.
>>
>>34736465
>Are you autistic by any chance?
Maybe, you definitely wouldn't be the first person to assume that. I did meet people who were genuinely autistic though and they were extroverted social butterflies, so I don't really know where I stand.
>1. Always be friendly (which you seem to be), 2. Be a good listener, 3. Always be looking out new opportunities to socialize.
I don't think I wasn't doing any of these things before and like I said, my conversations weren't particularly long or fruitful in the past. I doubt that I'm physically incapable of socializing, I just don't know how to break through or create opportunities that don't feel astroturfed. Like a cheap, superficial excuse to talk to someone. I value authenticity a lot.
>I hope you succeed OP.

I'm from Europe, having snitches hang around and watch your every move is not well looked upon here. I have never heard of a "town watch group" existing in my country outside of extremely rural incest villages, and well socialized people would simply get together to beat them up for not minding their own business. >I also have no idea what "my community" is supposed to be or why it would have a webpage.

>>34736830
I only know from the US and Britain that snitching and gossiping networks are appsrently very common there. So decidedly non-human behaviour.
>>
>>34736838
>I'm from Europe, having snitches hang around and watch your every move is not well looked upon here.
Doesn't matter if it's Europe or America or wherever they always exist, go look yours up. They're always run by the elderly, typically middle aged to older women or married couples who network with other families and their whole point is to look out for potential social dangers for their families and that's why it's such a common practice, and with social media used by near everyone it's widespread.

The "no one likes snitches" attitude is something that's only honored among teen/young adult males typically single men. Your town elders most likely don't give a fuck and they talk. You cold approach a girl and she says no, she goes home and guess what she's doing when she speaks with her folks? "I was at the train station today and I got weirded out. This guy just approached out of nowhere and." Blah blah blah you get the picture.

The only time this isn't a problem is if the culture or community you live in is high trust and no one sees cold approaching as a danger. But I know for a fact in Europe, America, Canada and Australia thanks to western media, the trust is low and communities don't take kindly to cold approaching.
>>
>>34736861
Nope. The only people who do that here are former Stasi members, and they are thankfully dying out as people piss on their graves. This type of Soviet style social policing is not wanted here. Deal with it and accept that you're living in a shithole full of weirdoes.
>she goes home and guess what she's doing when she speaks with her folks?
I don't know her filks, they don't know me, we will never meet and even if we did its unlikely the woman would even recognize my face again. Even then it would require me to be an actual creep about it and not a nice normal guy. You're trapped in some anxiety induced panic phantasy and doing taht whole incel thing of pretending that talking to women will get you socially ruined. Its just your fear speaking.

I hung around in bars alone for a couple years in my mid 20s. I met people, formed a small group of other loners who went out drinking together, had a lot of fun nights, and could have done something with several women if I had had the balls at the time to pursue. I did eventually end up going over to a girl's place one night but I couldn't seal the deal. had women flirt with me, approach me, even buy me drinks.

>will I just look like a creepy loser
You only look like a creepy loser if you're deliberately trying to. I actually have the perfect example from last weekend, there was a guy by himself sitting in the corner of the bar scowling. I bumped into him because there was a small crowd/line waiting for the bathroom and smiled and apologized, and he just looked away angrily. Later I saw he had moved to a table and was scanning the room with the fucking Kubrick stare looking like a sexual predator.

If you smile at people, start random conversations with anyone nearby, and generally don't hide in your phone, you'll be just fine. That's how I met people/women and did shots with strangers and shit like that. Bring a pack of cigarettes and lighter even if you don't smoke.

>the internet says I need more fibre
This is rare but the internet was right for once. There's different kinds of fibers, "wet" fibers like those you'd get out of fruit and veggies, and "hard" fibers like those you find in wholegrain breakfast cereal. Word of warning I ate Kelloggs corn flakes for a while and it gave me burning runny shits, didn't get them anymore after I cut those out of my diet. There's just so many foods that are plain bad for you and will do you dirty like that. Try to eat as natural as possible and keep processed foods to a minimum, chances are it's not the coffee that's screwing you but something else
>>
>>34736985
It's not right, he needs to REMOVE fiber from his diet. The coffee absolutely does force people to go shit. The idea is to eat food that makes the stool hard and dry, so he can wipe once at most.

Is she hot

Well, this is my first time using 4chan because this is something I feel bad telling to anyone in my circle.

During the first week of July this year, one of my acquaintances died after falling from the 15th floor of the building where she lived. I wasn't notified until two days later, and at first I didn't feel anything. The way I found out just made me think about my Christian confirmation.

We had a friends in common, and I really liked her style. She had short hair with a blue streak in the middle, and the way she dressed made me feel comfortable around her. She seemed like the kind of person I could tell my secrets to or go to karaoke with.

I really wanted to build a better connection with she, but there were three problems:

1-I was 16, and she had just turned 18.
2-The way I used to be was kind of weird and very different from her group's vibe. Both they and I felt like I just didn't fit in.
3-I'm not an introvert, but I'm extremely shy when it comes to meeting new people.

When I was told about her death, I was eating lunch. The person who told me was someone who never stopped annoying me. At first, I tried to hide how I felt by making jokes, like, "Poor... she was only about months away from playing GTA VI Haha." Looking back, that was stupid.

Later I realized that she was the girl who had died,in the lunch i really forget shes name, I never say that she committed suicide because I don't know for sure, and my heart doesn't want to accept it. But when I think about everything I knew about her family and her quality of life, that possibility sadly makes sense.

I’m getting manic pixie dreamgirled, hard. It’s fucking embarrassing. How do i stop it?

I’ve been friends with her for a while. Met through an old roommate she dated. She lives on the other side of the world, but she occasionally will visit for a month and every time we hang out consistently while she’s here.

She’s kind of the typical girl you’d think of for this kind of shit: young, cute, tattooed, sexually liberal. In vet school. We spend an insane amount of time together for two people who have never fucked and are not dating. Hang out at my apartment and play music together. Idk man. I can feel feelings for her growing and it’s pisisng me off because it would literally never work long term. I work a corp slave job and she’s galavanting around the wilderness fixing animals and doing acid at music festivals. We play iMessage game nonstop and fucking text each other all day. Go for walks. It’s gay as hell.

I don’t really know what specifically I’m looking for advice on desu. Someone kill me please.

Yesterday I've had my homegirl come over and watch movies together while getting drunk, obviously we did not behave and we began cuddling (just some flirting prior to that) which eventually spiraled to touching each other and nearly having sex. The issue was that I had no condoms and I wasn't risking STD. She felt like it was one sided as she jerked me, I don't know how to feel about that as it definitely brought down my ego. Not to mention I felt absolutely nothing during all of that, no rush, nothing, just a boner with no desire to fuck her whatsoever, was it porn usage that ruined the experience for me?

What's even funnier is that she's post breakup and she's texting another guy how she crushes on him meanwhile she was all over me the other night, she did not talk about this whole thing because obviously that would ruin her relation with whoever she's texting. I just feel like a convenience to her, someone to fuck in order to restore her own ego.
Today when we woke up I hardly spoke to her, I felt so awkward and I feel like don't want to talk to her again.

What do I even do this is so weird. I banged a girl in the past already but never really came from sex. It just doesn't feel special to me but I want it to be. Again could this be porn addiction?
