I want to meet new people. Do I approach them like a creep? Do I initiate a talk for no reason? I am very thirsty for human connection. I am a gym regular but I almost never talk to anybody and besides I go there 2-4 times a week doing upper lower splits.The highest chances I've had at making friends were university and bars.
>>34641675>Do I approach them like a creep? Do I initiate a talk for no reason?You need an "in". Since you presumably don't have a mutual friend to act like one, you should try having a shared hobby as the "in". Things like joining a DnD group or playing a game. Something that gives you reason to interacting with people. From there you make small talk and get to know them and over time form friendships.
I'm not a man but I'd say just wait for people to approach you
>>34641685Yeah you're absolutely right, it's fucking weird to just start talking about meaningless shit like "does this bus go there" that will just annoy people. But the "in" I've had were bars, there aren't many places in my shitass city to go to. Rare events too.>>34641687how's that working out for you, bet you want people to approach you but then he's ugly and suddenly a creep right?
>>34641691>how's that working out for you, bet you want people to approach you but then he's ugly and suddenly a creep right?No I don't leave the house so no one approaches me, my suggestion was also just a guess, I just wanted to participate in the thread
>>34641710perhaps if you have nothing of value to say then maybe you shouldn't participate in the first place
>>34641724You know, I can see why you struggle with human connection. Isn't there value to be found in a silly, pointless interaction like this? You had a choice between ignoring it, responding nicely or rudely, and I'd say your choice is a reflection of your general attitude. Cheer up, buddy
>>34641736I could not care less about a person that I'll never meet irl. What is it with you women thinking that every man should be your footstool and play by your rules? For what reason should I be replying nicely or playfully to you. I see men non stop doing that gay high pitched laugh and letting themselves be ridiculed by women even if they have no chances with them, it's so beyond me. I just really do not understand as to why women think they are some sort of sacred beings or something. The only reason I ever seek validation from you is because of my trauma and if it wasn't for that then I would not even bother talking to any of you.
>>34641675approaching people randomly is just weird. if you're in a gym you can approach people for a spot or to work in a set. make some small talk while you're at it. if you see the same people enough times you might become friends.
>>34641675the trick is to always be blaring copyrighted music like the Eagles when you approach woman that way their tik tok they film of you being a creep loser and trying to talk to them will get copyright struck down and removed by Don Henley.
As the other anons have said yes. It's weird.Approaching people randomly is weird and if it happened to you, however social-deprived you are you'll be weirded out. The same happens when you approach someone, you get off on a minus.To counteract this just approach them with a unifying theme, like asking people for workout advice, sets, so on and then slowly work out a normal conversation.Also, unrelated, but nice taste in porn.
