How do you make friends online? I feel unable to connect with anyone
>>
I think the most important thing is reflecting on what you need from a potential friend. When feeling isolated it's easy to cast far too wide a net and just hope for the best instead of being intentional about who you add (like going solely off common interests instead of focusing on personality traits) or how you present yourself if you're posting in contact threads, a bit of vulnerability often goes a long way in my experience. The better you know yourself, the easier it gets to find people that complement you. I'm looking to meet new people atm so I'd be down to talk if you need a friend, but I'm also getting the sense that I'm most likely 5-10 years older than you based on how you describe your peers. :p

I have been using 4chan for over 10 years and i have never even tried to make a friend on here. When i was 15 I used to e date a girl and I learned the hard way that online "relationships" are bullshit. There are some people i talk to on discord but its only because I met them by association of real life friends. I kinda want to make friends online because im kinda isolated but at the same time it feels so surface level and too drama filled.

I'm 29, and yes other 29 years old are all speaking like this online even if it's not as extreme as I made it out to be!

>but at the same time it feels so surface level and too drama filled.
Yeah...
I had a few online groups I loved in the past, but they all died or turned sour because of drama or people just moving on I guess

Maybe open a thread about wanting to chat to people your age and maybe make friends here. Maybe one faggot will connect with you, and then you try to be friends outside of 4chin. I'd do that at least. Get to know the faggots a bit first. maybe some like sports and I don't like that, some other is a gnostic larper and I kinda understand the feeling.

What do you like to do?
>>
>>34552816
I'm also 29... O_O Guess I'm just very good at avoiding this type of vibe.
>>
>>34552830
I'll do that I think, better to keep trying!
Everytime I see this pic I get motivated since the first time I saw it it was because of a post talking about how important sincerity/being genuine is and to not fall into mass irony.
>>34552835
I enjoy achievement hunting, competitive games at high level and anime, I'm pretty surface level.
>>34552922
Probably yeah! Or maybe people are just like that in the kind of games I play.
>>
>>34552750
Online friends aren't real. Make real friends

>>34552816
You become more similar to whoever you spend time with, and zoomer vernacular has taken over because most people using the internet are kids. So we basically have adults copying kids because they think it's how adults our age are supposed to talk.
>>
>>34552750
Try to guide the vibe MORE. You are a participant too.
>>
Find communities where memes and reaction images are outright banned.
You will most likely end up with boomers and millenials though.
>>
>>34554914
Whenever I guide the vibe people get mad since I'm pretty opinionated, I enjoy being on the side more because of that
>>34554932
If that's the sacrifice to pay...
>>34554910
Yeah I feel like this is pretty much what is going on online, everyone is kind of acting like a retarded kid, except it's normal for kids to be retarded since they'll grow out of it but instead I'm meeting like 26 years old people who admires andrew tate and talk about lookmaxxing or 32 years old self called punk who will talk to me 24/7 about why Trump is bad when I couldn't care less about either things

I feel like the online world is way more divided too, the first 10 years when I used internet, I don't think I ever heard anything political ever from people within my own hobbies

Someone from /v/ gifted me a game on steam years ago and I still have him as a steam friend. We never talked after that but I still remember you buddy :)

You sound like reddit's your place, fucking kys

I don't know? Have you tried jerking off less to your IQ? I doubt you know this but when I was in elementary school and saw them show off the kids who got into the elite classes and not me, I got kind of pissed off at school authority because it honored more the privileged. Authority I can appreciate at times, but when it turns into the elite can get away with whatever they want because they're this angelistic idol, it irritates me. Are you sure you're not an elitist OP?
