>be me 23m>have barely any friends in high school>no friends in collegeAnons what do I do. I'm still finishing up college, but I failed to make any friends there, and that pattern repeated in high school.
>>31534846>around people on a day to day basis>still somehow fail to make friendsAre you this bad at socializing, do you not try? What the fuck is going on here?
>>31535103I don't know man. This is the story of my life. Very frustrating.
>>31534846Same but I failed out of college and therefore everyone ditched me. Even my friends who weren't in college. Now I have nothing. Being alone is my punishment and I'm just gonna live with it for a few more years.
>>31535277Try reading books to help you socialise and practice, get a job which faces the public a lot, talk to co workers, everyone around you no matter age, colour, status etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8U3bujUq4Y
There's a lot of ways forward. Please take control over your life, and actually address this issue seriously...
>>31535658>actually address this issue seriously...what do you suggest i do then
>>31536260People like you piss me off... take charge of your life, address the issue seriously, this advice is very clear but you want some braindead "next 10 steps" guide because you're a fucking monkey, a stupid little checkbox ticker, a guide-following robot for YOUR LIFE... dude it's YOUR LIFE, why the fuck are you asking me how you should live it. You already recognize you've been a life-wasting moron, the clear answer is to say "oh fuck I need to figure out the next steps, make a plan, try new things, figure out who I am"... it's the answer you already know, but thinking and self-addressing is uncomfortable, so you skip the clear answer immediately and look for checkbox monkeying... I'm so sick of people like you
Autism therapy
>>31536411how can you be sick of me if literally nobody has given me actionable advice here. as far as anyone here is concerned, the only information you guys know are that>i have no friendsI'm sort of done coming here. so many stupid answers without any substance.
>>31536453you had no reason to expect more desu you'd be better off asking chatgpt or actually going to therapy
>>31536468>you had no reason to expect more>/adv/ - advicewhat do you mean.
>>31536474>looking for social skills on an anonymous anime imageboard
>>31536411Take a chill pill.
>>31535605Do you know any good books on the matter
was the same for me i wanted friends but i was just never interested in socialising nor understood it. at least for me finding a girlfriend filled the majority of what i felt i was missing if not then just take advantage of having no distractions and focus on ur career.
>>31534846>Anons what do I do.1. Find any group of people your age that meets regularly, ideally 1x per week or more.2. Just go every fucking week and talk to people.You will eventually make friends if you're not 100% autistic. Even if you are autistic you might make some friends.
>>31536411Kill yourself
>>31534846What, if anything, have you done to change this situation?
>>31534846I got you anon, let me depart some of my knowledge since I was in your position. Your best bet is joining a club or having a good roommate. Had a roommate that I would say is a best friend from the school although we just graduated and are not talking as much. No roommate? Then the other way I found was through clubs or organizations. I did them with my roommate but we managed to meet others who had similar interests. Esports was a big one, and I made some good friends in that, besides that I would say sports. Which I did for my first couple years in college and made lasting friends from that. I could have made deeper friendships but I didn't start going out until my last semester. Since my closer friends were too alike and stayed in most days lmao. So TLDR: 1) Use your roommate to network with others if you are friends.2) Join Clubs or Organizations that you would be interested in regardless of Topic. (Gaming, some sport, etc.) 3) Actually take the time to hang out with them. Go to parties with them and activities.
>>31538560Oh and to add on parties helped further with networking. I found myself saying hi to people I would normally just ignore and walk with my head down. Its almost like a cascading effect.
