I'm making this thread because I've read that a lot of people (mostly men it seems) have no friends. This is really bad because it is probably a contributor to the male suicide epidemic. Furthermore, the suicidal Brazilian anon on this board recently revealed that he has no friends.https://medium.com/on-the-couch/many-men-dont-have-friends-is-it-normal-666be02d3df8Lately, a lot of Zoomer guys have been talking about the "male loneliness epidemic". I mostly agree that the male loneliness epidemic is real but I disagree with the whole idea that women should be pressured to fix it. Really, this is OUR (men's) problem and we are the ones who need to fix it.Personally, I have had friends for most of my life. I met my childhood best friend when I was 7 and he was 8. We eventually went our separate ways when we were both 24, but by this point I had other friends anyways. Basically, I have continuously had friends of some sort since age 7. By the way, I'm on the autism spectrum. Friendlessness is one of the few common aspects of autism that I haven't experienced all that much, largely because I've put in so much effort to avoid friendlessness throughout my life. I'm willing to listen if any of you have no friends though. <3
I'll just repost what I always post whenever this subject comes up:I've never had a single friend in my entire life and I fully intend to keep it that way for the rest of my life. There are no friends in this world. All relationships form the way that they do based on power dynamics. All relationships are purely transactional. Anyone who you think is your friend will turn on you in a heartbeat once you are no longer of use to them. Love doesn't exist and never has.There is no such thing as good people. All human beings are profoundly rotten to the core.The sooner you learn this, the better.
Men are suppose to be comfortable with being aloneIt is low T if you are constantly lonely and hate being alone

All human beings are profoundly rotten to the core.This mentality is literally killing people, most of whom are male.When I was a kid, me and my childhood friend got together and we sang songs that we made up about Snorlax (from Pokémon) farting and we made jokes about Wario farting and we played Mario Kart and Mario Party whilst making jokes about farts/poo/pee/cum.So ... you have never experienced that? ... and you seriously think that you are wise? What I experienced with my friend was beautiful mac. If you were truly wise, you'd understand that two Aspie boy friends making jokes about farting and piss and shit is one of the most beautiful things in the universe.>The sooner you learn this, the better.My ENTIRE LIFE is proof that you are wrong.
>>24342184>Men are suppose to be comfortable with being aloneWell ... it's a part of life that sometimes you'll be alone for 1-4 days but I think it's bad for your mental health if you remain alone for more than 4 days continuously. I mean, I spend a lot of time alone but never more than 4 days at once.>It is low T if you are constantly lonely and hate being aloneHoly fuck man.This is disgusting on the same level as conservative "Real men want to die in wars!" bullshit. NEVER tell a man to destroy his life and NEVER tell anyone that self-destructive behavior is part of being a "real man".One of the most dangerous myths in the world is the whole "If you are a man and you avoid self-destructive behavior then you are a pussy!" myth.I mean ... I have this belief that men should be happy and should live long enough to become wise village elders. Why doesn't everyone agree with me here? I don't know.
>>24342201Become homeless, become a drug addict, become mentally ill, or go to prison and see if those friends still want to have anything to do with you.

I am the curse that walks, I exist only by removing myself from the populace, my very existence is a slow poison and decay on everything in my vicinity
>>24342336>I am the curse that walks, I exist only by removing myself from the populace, my very existence is a slow poison and decay on everything in my vicinityCould you explain further? What exactly happened last time you tried to have a friend?Are you just going to turn into yet another male suicide? I'm trying to help.
I was gonna post this in the autistic sexuality thread that you made, but I'll post it here instead.I think that everyone who has posted in this thread so far has been male, so I figured that I would offer my own perspective as an autistic woman. Trauma dump incoming.When I was a child, I didn't speak at all - not until I was 11. Even today, I very rarely speak bIRL, and usually only in one-word sentences. As a child, my father raped me on a daily basis, and the fact that I couldn't speak made it even more terrifying. When I became old enough to get pregnant, I began having a crippling fear that he would get me pregnant, and I knew that he would kill me if he did, just to hide the fact that he was raping me from the rest of my family.As an adult, that extreme fear of pregnancy still haunts me, even though I don't have sex. The only way that I could possibly get pregnant would be from being raped again, but, if I ever did somehow get pregnant, I would kill myself. I would legitimately rather die than give birth. There is absolutely nothing in the world that horrifies and disgusts me more than the thought of giving birth.In my mind, I associate all sex with rape. I will never have sex. It would be impossible for me to look any sex partner in the eyes and not see my father raping me. Men have hit on me before, but it makes my skin crawl every single time. I just can't do any kind of intimacy.That's the same reason why I don't have any friends. If I'm around other women, I know that they are mocking me and just keeping me around to laugh at. If I'm around men, I know that they just view me as easy prey and want to do the same thing that my dad did. I could never trust another human being, female or male.
>>24342137you wanna make it legal and put a ring on this here fren finger, good buddy
>>24342359I'm sorry to hear that. I don't even know what else to say.
>>24342368Wtf?
>>24342137stop being blackpilled retard there are good people out there. no one is perfect.
>>24342137Spent most of my life without many friends.I was also the oldest of three so I often didn’t get clothes or resources so my brother and sister could.My upbringing is 4 walls and a window. I had to raise my brother and take care of my grandmother. My sister got to go out and have friends. I couldn’t even invite people over. When I did my mom would have us clean the house and Bedtime would be at 6. my mom calling any friend who came over gay trying to get with me so I just stopped bringing friends over in 6th grade.My sister had no problem and could have night sleepovers though.Clothes with holes in it, going to school in dirty clothes…all this meant less friends and more bullying. Doesn’t help that my interest all got you mocked, attacked, ostracized, and wouldn’t become major cultural fads until decades later when I’m too resentful to even enjoy them anymore.At 38 I have the same one friend I knew in Middle School, even then this friendship is mostly based on our mutual interests so conversation is often quite surface level based on what we are watching/reading/playing. I didn’t start hanging out with him (or anyone) or going to his house until I was in college.I never visited another person’s home until college.My brother and sister got to visit family and friends…were invited to parties hangouts bbqs etc…but I was always kept away and wouldn’t know of these functions until after they took place. I just stayed home and caretook or played what few games I had in my own collection.I have had no parentI have had no peerNo one is really there and I’m in this jungle without any guide or mentor or anything. No one is there.
